Yay it's back. I loved this especially the ending. To me I think Joyce and Regina are aurguing about more then apple pie I think they are fighting about Faith about how Joyce sees her as another daughter and then Regina comes in and is taking her place as Faith's "Mom" but that's just how I interpret that part.

Anyway Good Job and Update Soon

love this chapter clap.gif clap.gif made me laugh. Loving the dynamic w/ emma and faith. Wonder who will win the bake off?

By the way Super Mario Kart is just for nintendo not Playstation. oops.gif Not sure if its just that Regina made an error in calling Henry's console a playstation instead of Wii. No big deal just wasn't sure if you caught that.

Howdy!

THAT. WAS. HILARIOUS! laugh.gif Seriously, snorted Dr. Pepper and all...my lunchmate was not thrilled, heh.

Anyway, a good light chapter that was much needed, yet you slipped in a bit of serious conversation in there without upsetting the balance. Kudos!

this is such a good fic, I do hope you will continue to write it. I'm very curious as to what will happen to Willow, and when Regina tries to become the mayor.
Author Feedback: I have no idea what's going to happen next as I'm just making this up as I go along tongue.gif Hopefully it won't suck too bad biggrin.gif

I love it please continue and update often. Loved Buffy and Regina at the end
Author Feedback: Thanks man, glad you liked it. I thought it would be a nice bonding moment for Regina and Buffy at the end, whilst at the same time having both women staking their territory over Faith. tongue.gif

Howdy!

Yeah, it does sound like a cool career for Faith and one I'm surprised no one has caught onto before, including me (face into palm!). 13 years of Buffy RPGs and the thought never occurred to me...huh.

Bit o' genius there, very cool of ya.

Hope you're not to mean to Willow. In a way, she was as screwed and screwed-up as Faith...just in very slow motion. Everyone always sayin' "don't do magic!" Then when things get tough it's "Willow DO MAGOC NOW!!!" And despite this Giles NEVER takes her under his wings to show her the right way, or at the least prevent her from making his mistakes.
Now Rumple has his hooks in her!

Love Emma and Faith taking past each other half the time due to confusion through a common language...and they're both from South Boston!
Regina is hilarious. Doesn't strike me as that clueless in the show, but she IS all adrift, scared silly, and not firing on all cylinders here so I get it. Chuckled more than once really (I could picture Faith looking at a loom with a mix of utter confusion and a good dose of "But I wanted a sword!"). HEH!

In fact I suggest Regina get Faith a wonderful, hand-made Damascus steel broadsword with highly-polished steel, brass-inlaid hilt and pommel and grip wrapped with crimson-dyed leather. (Thinking a 35.5in blade, 9in grip, 3.3ibs. Can be used one or two handed, for them tougher critters!).
Damascus (folded) steel is no better than good, modern carbon steel, but it's damned pretty and also VERY functional. Faith would appreciate both aspects: Beauty and deadliness.
God knows I do!

(Of all I blame Giles the most for Faith and Willow's falls: In the end he's the adult who took on the responsibility for them all, like it or not, and failed these two miserably). mad.gif


The Cracker!
Author Feedback: He-he, thanks man. I know the loom thing was a bit out of place (and character) but I couldn't resist it, I thought it was an amusing line biggrin.gif
And I agree about Giles, he really was crap at his role safeguarding anyone who wasn't Buffy. But in this fic his half arsed approach may be explained for, as the son of Rumpelstiltskin, mayhaps he had a reason for his behavior, an ulterior motive behind his actions .....the plot thickens. Mwuh-ha-ha! biggrin.gif

words cannot begin to express how epic you story ALREADY is im a huge once upon a time fan please can i request a belle/red ship or is that going to far.... oh do as you will i can not try to understand the plans of a genius smile.gif
Author Feedback: Thanks for all your reviews my friend, I wanted to do justice to OUAT and mess with things just for my own amusement. I totally adore Regina and so wanted to paint a different view of her, but glad you approve biggrin.gif
I don't really have a way of fitting a Belle/Red ship in this, but just for you I might make a passing mention to it. As I'm making this up as I go along I have no idea what might happen next! But I really do appreciate your read n' reviews wub.gif

Howdy!

Oh crap, Rumples in town! And poor Willow (and no, I'm not being sarcastic. I love Willow) is about to get shafted due to her own insecurities!

And yeah, I imagine you do need a translator with Faith at times. But other than that, great job with Emma and Faith! You might want to through in some Bostonian slang and commonalities as both characters are from Boston. I never met a more clannish, sport-obsessed (even if they hate the given sport, it can seem like most Bostonians cheer for ALL their teams, it's weird), and proud bunch.
And it's twice as bad if they're Southies!

Folks from Brooklyn have nothing on 'em!

And I just started a fight, didn't I?

OMG this story is great!!!

Faith is Regina's daughter and Regina is with Emma!!!

HEHEHE Faith is a princess!!!

HAHA Regina turning Willow into a pig and Quentin into a table lamp, priceless!!!

Uh oh who's that with Willow?

Some interesting times ahead in this story... Update soon!!!
Author Feedback: Thanks, I couldn't resist a bit of SwanQueen as well as Fuffy biggrin.gif I thought I'd just piss about with characters and see what happened, but glad you like.
And that's Rumplestiltskin there with Willow, the true bad ass of magic!

its nice to have you back! this is one strange fic, but you do the strange very well! wink.gif have to say, i cried too when tasha yar died sad.gif who is this strange man at willows and what does he want!? nice up-ate, not so long for the next one?
Author Feedback: lol. I can recall the death of Tasha Yar when I was a kid and it was so shocking at the time, ah the folly of youth wink.gif And yes, I do like to do strange things, it seems to work in my head anyway laugh.gif

The strange man is Rumplestiltskin, the true bad ass of magic who is there to show Willow the true cost of using magic without hesitation. This is pretty much a Once Upon A Time fic, just set in Sunnydale really. But thanks for the welcome back, I'll try and update a bit quicker.....once I figure out what the hell's going to happen. I have this tendency to make shit up as I go along and end things on a cliffhanger with no idea how to resolve things ohmy.gif So what happens next will be a surprise to both of us. lol.

Howdy!


I think my review got ate. Dang!
Anyway, to paraphrase the earlier review....

I can see the 'Wicked' pedigree in the story and I think it was neat turn. It radically departs from OUaT canon so can't wait to see how much holds up and how far Snow's telling of events matches and what doesn't. Loved the digs at Charming's...er, equipment (OUCH! blink.gif). Nasty and makes me wonder how much of Regina's story is factual and how much POV.
On the other hand the Emma/Regina thing feels natural as you can see more than a little subtext 'tween the two on the show! HEH!

So who is Faith feeling she can talk to? My first thought was Joyce as she seemed the only person in Sn3 that gave a true damn about Faith's well-being from moment one.

Did Faith smoke in Sn3? I know she did in Sn7 but assumed that was a change that came bout in prison as I didn't remember her smoking in Sn3. If I missed that I'm gonna feel pretty damned sheepish!


The Cracker!
Author Feedback: Like you say there is a strong 'Wicked' element to this so I just wanted to write from the side of the story not told.
Yeah, Faith is gonna talk to Joyce.
I have no idea if Faith smoked in S3, I'm just making this up as I go along so god knows how this will turn out.
Thanks for swinging by mon ami hug.gif

clap.gif thumbup.gif worshippy.gif

Nice I love the way you're going with this. Very cool and creative way to go with Faith's mom not so much an evil queen but a naughty one with Faith's attitude and a shitload of power. I also loved the comment about Willow being turned into a pig by Faith. Please tell me you will expand on what Regina said about falling for feisty blondes maybe have her hit it off with Joyce and then make some outrageous pass at her that will embarrass both daughters. biggrin.gif Well keep up the great writing and please update soon worshippy.gif thumbup.gif clap.gif
Author Feedback: Actually the 'feisty blonde' comment was because this is SwanQueen as well as Fuffy wink.gif But you're right about Regina not being evil, just slandered by the sickening goody two shoes of the realm. Lots of Snow/Charming bashing to come biggrin.gif
But thanks for swinging by mon ami
