Polished an old story

[cornerofmadness]

Finally getting around to polishing up some old fanfic. Here's one from a year or so ago, not my favorite for some reason. Maybe it's too uneven. Maybe I'm too hard on myself...or not hard enough. Anyhow here you go

DREAM GOES WANDERING

By D.M. Evans

Disclaimer - They are in no way shape or form mine, with the exception of Dante and he also earns me no money. Everyone else belongs to Mr. Whedon.

Timeline - AtS - first season, this is an AR. The main change is Faith didn’t turn herself into the police and is working full time for Wolfram and Hart who hide her from Angel.

Rating - NC-17

Pairing - Lindsey/Faith

Summary - Lindsey and Faith’s new assignment comes at a high cost, a piece of their hearts

Author’s Note #1 - This was written for Writing Goddess’ Lindsey Ficathon. I was writing for Crazygirl Mary and challenge requirements are at the end. Thanks to Kat for the beta!

Author’s Note #2 - I know there was supposed to be no Angel in this so I’m hoping his off camera appearance isn’t too big a disappointment, but I needed a reason for the first cemetery scene to bring things full circle at the end and Faith and Lindsey aren’t as romantic as one might hope for.

Author’s #3 - I freely admit inspiration for Dante D’Amato comes in part from the character Rocky in Joan of Arcadia and Maisie in Connie Willis’ novel Passage. He was named for my cousin, Dante, who nearly died of brain cancer as a child and faced many of the challenges my fictional Dante does.

I like the story, I remember when reading it when you first published it. Faith's vulnerability is especially nicely done. My only complaint would be the end feels a bit rushed, not that I have any suggestions, lol.

yes, i think you were the ONLY person to read it at the time and you had qualms about it then. I agree with them. I had hoped to fix it now but you know, I just didn't know what to do with it, didn't much like the story and said oh the heck with it

I enjoyed this one! It was nice to see Faith interacting with the kid. She softened a bit, but of course, was still "Faith." And, the interaction between Lindsay and Faith was intriguing as well. Nice story!
