Thanks a lot! I always love detailed replies like this one. :)
Loved everything about Faith being asleep on the Summers couch on Christmas day and not wanting to wake up or well, to leave.
Loved, loved the snowman building sans Buffy, it felt right and real, that Faith would really get along with everyone in Buffy’s family much better than she did with Buffy.
Well, given Faith's (hinted-at) family background, I wanted her to have a happy Christmas... but not make it too clear how bad her previous ones had been, since well, Faith doesn't talk about that. (I think one early draft had her talking about sleeping on the streets, which I think fits but is a bit out of the scope of this fic. I prefer to leave a few things unsaid.)
And… The reappearance of the rocket launcher!
Gotta love the rocket launcher! There was actually a spontaneous rocket launcher ficathon (http://deird1.livejournal.com/216834.html) a while back, this is sort of a callback to that.
I really, really wish we had seen more moments like this in Season 3.
You and me both. I'm a sucker for Buffy/Faith interaction of any kind.
Ethan showing up at Giles’ door? I really wanna read that ficlet!
I do too, but... that would mean I'd have to take out the vagueness! ;-) That was sort of my little Christmas present to the slash fans on my flist; let them decide exactly what the good old days entail.
