no. it’s different for you. she’s tied to the wheel of the world forever, stretched across the rack, cracking and extending until death, forever and ever. a cyle of suffering faith was born into. and you think once you had a taste in your mouth about it. once you could hate her for it. for being given what she has. and what did you have to do? spend your life swallowing the poison so your body could handle the toxicity. condition your suffering into strength. you weren’t born for anything. you took it.

it’s in your hands, now. you worked for it. like hercules, you went the distance. but you think she’s gotta be further in the plot than you, so you brush her shoulder with a palm, light, and touch her with measured care. you’re not gentle but you try to be. you just never want to hurt.

“that’s not right. you’re not— a scapegoat. you’re brave, and you try your best. so yeah, there’s always parts to be played, but fuck that. anyone who tries to make you the problem? spit in their face. you don’t deserve that. you do so much.”

your voice is quiet. and if your palm touches her cheek, so what? and if your eyebrow raises, so what?

“yeah. they do. i’m the hellcat. they love me. they trust me. but you know what? i pushed for that. i showed them that. it sucks sometimes. and it’s scary. but i gave them a part of me. and they loved me back. it’s hard, but i bet you’re more likable than you know.”

she is.

“you’re all—“ a palm slides down to her heart and you slide it over, feel it beat against you, against all those little feline nerves in your skin, “—this, lehane.”

do  you  ever  realize  how  like ...

faith  killing  finch  literally  wasn’t  her  fault ?  the  aftermath  is ,  of  course ,  but  he  legit  sneaks  up  on  a  slayer  mid  fight .  anyone  in  that  situation  probably  would  have  stabbed  him .  an  older  faith  lehane  would  probably  have  the  talent  to  see  what  she’s  hitting  and   pull  her  punches ,  but  she’s  a  child  in  that  moment .  by  worldly  standards  and  slayer  standards .  and  then  she  has  to  somehow  swallow  the  fact  that  she’s  killed  a  man .

and  she’s  treated  like  a  murderer .  like  a  full  on ,  heartless  murderer .  like  she  purposefully  intended  to  harm  this  man .  and  then  you  remember  that  she  was  originally  meant  to  hang  herself  after  and  just ...  ugh .  being  a  slayer  is  fucking  awful .

drunken confessions. // accepting!!

                ❝ ——- ❞ she’s too drunk for this.

                     ever since buffy has been back from… whatever you want to call it. peace, heaven… wherever it was, buffy didn’t want to leave. but, she had been torn out of there whether she wanted it or not. and ever since, she hasn’t felt like herself. she felt different, felt.. e m p t y. so faith’s question brings her off guard, unaware of how to answer such a question. maybe before she had died she would’ve been able to answer it much easier. she was buffy summers !! sister, daughter, best friend, and permanent badass kickin’ vampire ass slayer. but now ?? sure, she was all those things but something was missing. ❝ i —- i don’t know ❞ she trailed off, getting lost in her dark thoughts. ❝ let’s just take another shot. ❞

She just doesn’t like it. She never has. Which is ironic, for someone so trapped between dying for fucking attention and begging never to be looked at, ever. Unfortunately she’s on the fringes of that discussion-- wants to be remembered, wants to be forgotten. It’s a horrible trip. And that very female-specific phobia’s not exactly one Trish is immune to, though should anybody get too close god knows she could lay them out like yesterday’s news.

She’s just, you know, trying not to. Has always tried not to. Not good for her image, openly disclosing that she’s fucking lethal.

“Me?” She asks, like she’s forgotten how she got here-- how Faith put her here-- the absence of her hand makes Trish flex her own, look down at it like it’s foreign. There’s a strange kind of missing she does for the contact. Her ears are still ringing. “Yeah. I’m fine. It’s sort of a paranoia thing, I guess.”

A shrug. And a soft squeeze to a bicep. A consolation. Appreciated.

“Thank you. Really. I mean, I could’ve handled it, but-- thanks for not making me have to.”

oh ,  boo .  has  rayne  flicked  a  switch ?  or ,  perhaps ,   fingered  a  trigger ?  faith  appears  to  be  suffering  a  temporary  lapse  in  judgement .  brings  back  solemn  memories  of  rayne’s  late  teens .  motherless ,  fatherless ,  taken  under  the  wing  of  sir  tremayne and  raised  to  kill  her  brethren .  a  young ,  lost  girl   saddled  with  an  unwanted  curse  through  no  fault  of  her  own .  sounds  familiar ,  mm ? 

   “ quite  the  contrary, “  soft  spoken  tone  maintains  an  air  of  monotonous  indifference .  rayne  has  the  control  here ,  as  emphasised  by  faith’s  reckless  affront  to  her  personage .  a  weak  shove ,  how  sweet .  “ you  are  faith .  slayer  of  vampires .  murderer  of  men . “  not  that  rayne  intends  to  judge .  not  at  all .  some  men  deserve  death .  and  only  the  naive  or  ignorant  refuse  to  admit  the  truth . 

aware  of  potential  violent  conduct ,  rayne  slips  away  to  a  higher  plateau .  a  graceful  show  of  acrobatics ,  serving  both  to  remove  the  dhampir  to  a  nearby  rooftop  and  reveal  to  the  slayer  that  she  is communicating  with  no  ordinary  vampire .  

   “ don’t  let  my  words  upset  you ,  slayer .  we  share  a  common  goal ,  you  and  i . “

       Well, that was humiliating.  Not like he could hold his own against a vampire. He thought Slayers were a myth, but after seeing her super strength and moves, he was glad they existed. Being at the bottom of the food chain wasn’t exactly thrilling. There wasn’t any time to create specialized weapons to fight them. Not like it would do any good. Their speed was terrifying, and he couldn’t even land a hit. If it weren’t for his new vampire slaying friend, Tim would have been dinner.

        The Boy Wonder rubbed his neck, massaging it even though he still had a hard time breathing. Tim made a mental note to research vampires thoroughly.

[ pilot ] your muse taking mine by the arm , hand , shoulder , etc . to lead them .

               of course the tunnel they had to chase the gang of vampires down was dark. heavily dark. thankfully, the both of them had a slightly higher sense of sight but it was still difficult to tell exactly what direction they had ran off to. the smart thing was to take it slow. they didn’t need to run into something they weren’t prepared for. only weapons both the slayers held were simple stakes and fists. buffy knew her partner was a good one, though. faith was always able to think quick on her feet when it came to fighting the forces of evil.

                              a random sound had echoed the walls of the sewer tunnel and it immediately led buffy down the left path. it sounded like someone was in trouble; more than likely the gang of vampires had kidnapped someone for a late night snack. there was no time to waste. buffy looked over her shoulder and gave faith a reassuring smile. the blonde grabbed the brunette’s hand and squeezed tightly before picking up her pace to run quicker down the tunnel, leading her in the direction of the sound so they could do what they did best.

slaayr replied to your post: " i don’t trust many people. "

both of them struggled so much to open to and understand each other…. it’s so sad bc they really are the ONLY ppl who can understand what it’s like to be the slayer, and all the difficulties and struggles that come with it ��

exactly.   i think buffy lost faith the moment she walked away after asking if faith was okay after the murder.   she knew that there was still turmoil and something wrong,   yet turned her back to it.   i really think that she just didn’t know how to approach it.   especially considering that this all followed angel(us) and the betrayal from her mother,   xander and essentially everyone,   buffy was more weary voicing her opinion and giving out trust.
