In Short

Summary: Snapshots of Faith's relationships. Faith/Everyone.
A/N: Basically, it's Faith's relationships with pretty much everyone I could think of, in 25 words or less. Some are AU, some are romantic, some not so much. And now onto the story.
Faith/Buffy
She hopes they're as good at loving each other as they are at hurting each other. Turns out, they are.
Faith/Robin
He surprises her. She surprises him, too.
Faith/Willow
She always kisses the scar like she's forgiving you. She gets it.
Faith/Xander
The first time around, she promised to steer him around the curves. Years later, it's his turn to do the same for her.
Faith/Oz
She needs the monster in him to match the one living in her.
Faith/Dawn
"Don't stop." "I'm tryin' to decide if this is worth dyin' for." Buffy is gonna kill me.
Faith/Angel
She finally breaks in that alley. He catches her. Crying, she's surprised her fingers don't find feathers on his back.
Faith/The Mayor
Call it an Electra complex, daddy issues, whatever. He's the only one who ever cared.
Faith/Anya
"Don't try to seduce me to the dark side with your impressive physique, pouty lips, and devil-may-care attitude." "Uh, okay."
Faith/Spike
"We should start a club." "And call it what, love?" "Buffy's Dirty Little Secrets."
Faith/Dru
"Do you hear it, pet?" The gag prevents your response. "Whispering winds... Oh, kitty, you've been naughty. Bad Slayer cat. Mummy will teach you better."
Faith/Riley
He showed her real love in that bed. (Not for her, not really.) She almost feels bad for what she did. Almost.
Faith/Joyce
On Christmas, you accidentally called her mom. You couldn't stand that look of pity after.
Faith/Andrew
"Together, we could be two lone, fallen warriors, fighting the forces of darkness to redeem our souls." "We're not 'lone' if we're together."
Faith/Kennedy
"We're born loners. Chosen One. Too many now. After Buffy, we're just footnotes. We don't matter." Glasses clink in agreement. "Story of my life, kid."
Faith/Harmony
She's a pathetic excuse for a vampire. But when she shuts up, you lose yourself in blonde hair. It feels familiar. She better not bite.
Faith/Jenny
You're both stuck in Limbo. The teacher/student kink isn't one you've tried yet. Well, you've got time (forever). Death's not so bad.
Faith/Tara
She doesn't trust you, yet. She still stutters, "F-Faith." But the other Scoobs, they don't try. Not like her. One day the stutter'll be gone.
Faith/Cordy
"...I'm sorry I hit you in the face." "I'm sorry you thought that's a cute outfit. 1999 called, they want their pants back." Redemption's rough.
Faith/Giles
"So? How'd I do, G?" "Bloody brilliant, Faith." You smirk. Nonchalantly twirl your sword. But the pride in his voice makes your eyes water. Finally.
Faith/Wes
It's not healthy. Fucking someone you've tortured. But he knows you in ways no else does. It's as close to intimacy as you'll get.
