    Summary

    “Why are you doing this?” she asks, a form of accusation leeching into her tone.
    “Community service,” quips Faith, moving around to look at Buffy’s back, “besides I don’t see anyone else linin’ up to help. You drop dead from blood loss, who does that serve?”
    “You, once upon a time,” replies Buffy before she can think better of it.

    Summary

    What if Faith didn't come to Sunnydale until Season 4 and was Buffy's roommate at UC Sunnydale? AU where Faith never met Buffy until college. No Faith living in a motel, no going evil, no working with the Mayor, no coma. Faith knows Buffy's a Slayer but Buffy doesn't know Faith is one too. Buffy is 60% sure Faith is a demon. Faith doesn't understand how anyone can eat that much nonfat yogurt, Buffy doesn't understand how one person can be so annoying without being a demon.

    This is for the Once More with Faith challenge. I deviated a little bit from the original prompt.

    Summary

    Modified Season 3.

    The events of Season 2 went a little differently. Angel still lost his soul, Buffy still sent Angelus to hell, but some people who could have died survived. Some people who should have lived did not.

    Now Angel is gone. He's not coming back. And there's a new Slayer in town...

    Summary

    Snow White believes she is protecting the town, but her slow campaign against Regina, whispers, committees, unannounced visits, bleeds into something harsher: harassment. The constant drip of suspicion wears at Emma, every “concern” another crack in the fragile trust she has in her parents. Yet the harder Snow pushes, the more Emma finds peace at Regina’s mansion, where Henry and Dayana thrive in the safety Regina has built. Torn between the family she longed for and the family she is choosing, Emma must decide: what do we keep close, and what must we finally set aside?
