Thank you to [livejournal.com profile] skyblue_reverie for understanding the POV thing and finding a NOT truth.
For [livejournal.com profile] femslash100’s drabbletag.


Willow has a piece of meteor rock in a carved wooden box by her bed. Looks like stone, is mostly iron. Reminds her of Faith. Something much stronger and more durable than it appears. Faith is too strong to ever be broken.

Faith always has a penny in her pocket. It’s older than she is and slightly tarnished except where her thumb rubs across Lincoln’s face. That patch is the exact color of Willow’s hair in the sun. Faith doesn’t keep it for luck, or because Willow gave it to her one day as a joke; she just keeps it.
Mood:: 'meh' meh

Beautiful. So subtle, and true. Willow admitting her fascination, and Faith denying hers. Spot-on.

this drabbletag business is extremely addictive.

You're really good at them. I like that you're tackling femslash, too.

It's the perfect way to do it, cos you don't have to worry too much about canon. TV writers seem much less good at giving us femslash subtext then slash subtext.

Plus, I adore drabbles. Something about that exact word count thing appeals to me.

That is nice! Understated and with the subdued air of melancholy that I always like to see.

Why thank you! There is indeed nothing like a subdued air of melancholy to brighten up your day :)

It occurs to me I've never even mentally slashed Faith & Willow before.

This was lovely!

Thank you :)
