valyssiaSummary: My goal when I began this project was to replace the events of No Future for You with something perhaps slightly more compelling. Where I ended up bears almost no resemblance to the root story. Instead of replacing a mere four books in the series, I replace something closer to six. It’s a mess…an extremely controlled, intentionally created mess.
The first act is primarily composed of a cutesy romance. There are, of course, elements that defy that description, but the core story is a romance wrought with your standard coupling angst. I never lose sight of that even when stuff goes straight to hell. That’s what second acts are for, right?
So, if you’d like to see one of your favorite characters spread thin like too little butter on dry toast, this is the story for you.
Should you want to know more before you read, this entry will better explain what I had in mind.
Rating: Adults Only Please: Graphic Sexual Situations and/ or Gratuitous Violence.
Warning: Start with the Carlin Seven and work your way out. This one’s pretty much got it all: overt violence, torture, graphic sex, the death of a minor character, candid deliberations on the affects of trauma both physical and sexual… It won’t be for everyone.
Word Count: 148,939.
Comma Guy: Howard Russell.
Pairing: Buffy/ Faith.
Disclaimer: Another day, another…they don’t pay me anything at all. I just do this to amuse myself and you. That’s what allows me and mine to slip under the radar while playing with characters created by those more fortunate than us.
