#faimy

YES! FAIMY. I always love Faimy asks. ^^ Thank you so much.

General:

Rate the Ship -  Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs

How long will they last? - Once they actually formally get together, for fucking ever because they are perfect together

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - Took about a year, give or take? At least for Faith to realize she loved Amy (Amy figured it out like eight months in? I’d have to check the dates again sometime)

How was their first kiss? - Faith had nearly been killed by Amy’s vampire double from an alternate wishverse and Amy, who had been silently crushing on Faith hard, loses control and starts kissing her. 

Wedding:

Who proposed? -  Amy proposes, though she takes Faith’s last name

Who is the best man/men? - Willow is Amy’s maid of honor, Buffy is Faith’s

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - Tara for Amy, and oddly enough, Wesley is a ‘bridesman’ for Faith (by the time Faith and Amy get married, Faith and Wesley are a well established vitriolic best buds Slayer/Watcher team)

Who did the most planning? - Amy, being the tightly wound control freak that she is.

Who stressed the most? - Amy would say she did, but Faith stressed a lot too - she never expected to live as long as she has by this point, let alone find someone as amazing as Amy and then marry them

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big. It was a fairly low-key affair, with a lot of pagan/wicca/Hecatean aspects to it, since Amy is a loyal follower sworn to Hecate

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - No one specifically not. Catherine’s dead, Amy and her dad get on great... I suppose maybe if Faith has any living extended family, not them

Sex:

Who is on top? -  Faith is very much on top

Who is the one to instigate things? - Both of them

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now (though once Alicia - see below - comes along, they tone it down significantly, at least outside the bedroom)

How kinky are they? -  Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - Usually they go for anywhere from 1-3 hours unless they’re quite tired or if they’re going for a marathon session, though Amy doesn’t have Faith’s stanima and so usually can’t do the Marathon sessions. Usually

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Yes

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory. 

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - I don’t know if an accidental child because Faith touched a fertility idol without knowing what it was counts as ‘natural’ (she touched it, next person she has sex with gets pregnant by her child, biology be damned, which was of course Amy, since who else would it be and then book, surprise pregnancy and 9 months later along comes Alicia Willow Anne Lehane)

How many children will they adopt? - None. Neither of them planned to be moms and while they love Alicia more then their own lives, they’d never want to do it again

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Probably Faith got stuck with it slightly more, because she stayed at home when Alicia was a baby more total, apart from when she was out patrolling

Who is the stricter parent? - Amy provides a little more structure, usually, but she’s not strict

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Faith, usually. She’s usually the fun mom, but sometimes...

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Amy

Who is the more loved parent? - Both

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? Amy, but she drags Faith to them

Who cried the most at graduation? - Faith, but no one had better say a thing about that

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Amy, surprisingly, if it is something small where they’re basically held in the drunk tank or the like. Faith figures a bit of time to cool off and reflect is productive

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Amy. She’s not great at it, but she can cook the food well enough... except Deserts. Amy is queen of deserts.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Amy. Faith’ll eat anything

Who does the grocery shopping? - Amy

How often do they bake desserts? - All the goddamn time. 

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Salad for Amy, meat for Faith, usually, since she burns more calories slaying, and has never been a Salad fan anyway

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Faith, probably, if only because she’d beat Amy to it. Amy loves all the cliche romantic gestures, and initially, Faith basically just stole ideas from derivative romance novels and movies

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Amy

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Faith. I mean, as Alicia gets older, Faith can cook a few things passably but the few times she’s home alone with Alicia, usually they just pop a piza in the oven or whatever.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? -  Amy, with magic

Who is really against chores? - Amy doesn’t see the point in chorse. Just magic the room clean

Who cleans up after the pets? - Alicia has to clean up after her own cat, once she she gets it.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Faith

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Neither really

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Amy

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Amy

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - N/A

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Mostly the major highlights.

What are their goals for the relationship? - to be happy together and eventually when Alicia comes along to raise her into a healthy much more functioning than they were as young adults, young adult. 

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Faith

Who plays the most pranks? - Faith

1, Your favourite non-canon ship?

That’s easy. Faimy (Faith Lehane x Amy Madison). Faimy for Life, always and forever.

4. Name a popular ship you don’t get the appeal of.

That I don’t get the appeal of? With the strictest application of that phrasing, let’s go with... that’s a tough one actually, I mean, I can usually understand tropewise where a ship comes from, if nothing else? Let’s go with Bonenzo. That was a mess canon and fanon (especially bamboozling that anyone actually, you know, ships them in fandom)

8. Your oldest ship; the one you’ve shipped for the longest time?

Written for Day 5 of Buffyverse femslash week – Minor Pairings. Though Faimy isn’t a minor pairing for me.

This is not actually smutty, but it does involve several mentions of Faith and Amy's various kinks and their sex lives.

Characters: Faith Lehane, Amy Madison Pairing: Faith x Amy

This takes place sometime in an AU season 5 – Faith never went evil, Amy never became a rat, they two of them have been in an established relationship for about a year now, and were friends for a year before that, give or take.

Faith didn’t usually wake up before Amy.

But, as she blinked against the sunlight coming in through the window into the little apartment the Council paid for, that she all but shared with Amy (Technically Amy had a dorm room over at UC Sunnydale, but she barely slept in it), Faith realized that Amy was still asleep.

I guess last night really wore her out. If someone had told her, before she’d started having sex with the witch, that Amy Madison, little miss tightly wound herself, would be as adventurous as she’d been turning out to be…

Well, I suppose I really wouldn’t have been all that surprised, really. Faith knew she wasn’t exactly well-educated and she didn’t much care to correct that, but once in awhile, she got curious about things or, for lack of anything else to do, would read a news magazine or whatever. And given how much of a control freak – at least in terms of her own life – Amy could be, Faith could get why her girlfriend wanted to…

Surrender that control, in bed.

And Faith was more than happy to accept it.

Slowly, Faith shifted in bed a little, careful not to disturb Amy as she slept on in Faith’s arms, her back pressed up against Faith. She looked so peaceful and calm like this – all that poetic shit. Idly, Faith wondered how she looked to Amy when she was still asleep.

Part of Faith still couldn’t believe that she had won out as well as she had, with Amy. People in her life – before she’d come to Sunnydale… well, they didn’t stick around. Her mom had almost never bene there, and in her mom’s endless series of what in retrospect Faith realized had been pimps and dealers as much as or more than boyfriends , none had lasted long.

Her various foster parents had all sent her away within months, if not faster, and…

People didn’t stick around. Not for her.

1: sexuality headcanon 

Bi. Faith is the bi-est bi to ever bi. She’s an Oustanding Bisexual. She’s bi. Have I mentioned that I hc Faith as Bi? (SInce this is apparently contraversial in some corners of Tumblr Buffy Fandom)2: otp

Faith and Amy. I am always ride or die for Faimy3: brotp

Angel, or Wesley, in an AU where they work together again post Season 4/One where they make for a kickass (and non-romantic) watcher/Slayer team.4: notp

Depending on my mood, either Faith x Xander, or Faith x Buffy (at least, Faith x Buffy the way a lot of people talk about it.)5: first headcanon that pops into my head 

Faith has bpd. More or less. Not my original hc, but I saw it, saw the arguement, was convinced6: favorite line from this character

”So how’s this work?”7: one way in which I relate to this character

Uhm.... I don’t think I have one?8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

Some of her fans.9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Amy Madison

First impression: Eh, minor victim of the week.

Impression now: I love Amy Madison so much. I would gladly die for her.

Favorite moment: The way she freaks after just getting de-ratted and spells the curtains shut at the sound of the car or whatever. It tells us so much.

Idea for a story: Radison in Season 6, after Tara and Willow break up and Amy is deratted. No Rack. Featuring Tillow-shipping little brat Dawn and Willow wondering if she’s just using Amy (which leads to discussions between Willow and Buffy re: Spike/Spuffy). Amy becomes a defacto Scooby, Buffy and Xander make sure Tara is kept in the Scooby-Gang Loop, and while Radison stay together, Tara and Willow reach tentative post-relationship makeup (also Willow apologies/tries to make amends for what she did to Tara)

Unpopular opinion: She’s not culpable for Willow’s addictive spiral 

Favorite relationship: In canon, With Willow

Favorite headcanon: She and Faith meet and get together post series.

Faith Lehane

First impression: “Check out Slutorama” seemed like a good summary

Impression now: God, someone give this chick a hug and some stability in her life. Maybe some therapy.

Favorite moment: Can I just say all of 4x14 “Release”?

Idea for a story: Faith accidentally goes back in time to Buffy Season 3 the day of Wesley’s arrival in Sunnyhell. Decides, once she realizes she’s stuck, to make Wesley a watcher worth something. Also, she’s gonna get him this time - she didn’t before he died, and she won’t let that happen this time.

Unpopular opinion: Faith/Wesley is a good, if fucked up, ship.

Favorite relationship: Her dynamic with Wes in 4x13, 4x14, 4x15

Favorite headcanon: Eventual Faimy.

Tara Maclay

First impression: Willow’s Girlfriend, are you here yet?

Impression now: Tara is a ray of imperfect but amazing sunshine and she WILL motherfucking brighten your day.

Favorite moment: Tara being there for Buffy during her breakdowns in S6

Idea for a story: Tara comes back from dead post-series, is accidental chosen one against new threat.

Unpopular opinion: She’s not perfect, mkay?

Favorite relationship: Willow

I talked some thoughts Faith the Series as I would write it here, but here’s some more thoughts in line with your questions.

It would probably be a road trip style show, I think. That, or set in like, New York. Let’s go with New York for now. The premise would be that Faith doesn’t want to/can’t share a Hellmouth (Cleveland) with Buffy. They aren’t, after all, supposed to exist together.

Faith isn’t planning to stick around in New York, she’s just passing through - most of the baby slayers are being trained in Cleveland or England, so she’s doing a pass through of major US cities and spending a month or two just blazing through the local Vamp/Demon community (I imagine she like, finds the most dangerous demon/vamp bars, the ones only the really evil and violent ones go to, and just walks in with shotgun, stake and knife and just.... you know, butchers).

Anyway, so Amy gets introduced in the first ep. Like, the ep gets started with Faith blasting through a gang of vamps, then she goes to a nightclub for some drinks and anonymous sex. She picks up Amy, not knowing who she is. Cut to Faith’s hotel room (she uses a Council Credit Card to splurge, much to the annoyance of Giles [I’d have a one-sided phone call about this at some point early on - like, imply Giles is on the other end, but don’t necessarily hire ASH to speak the role]), where they wake up the next morning, Amy getting dressed quickly - and that’s when they (or specifically) Amy gets attacked by the Seasonal big bads... this part, still kinda fuzzy on. Some kind of bad guys want to kill Amy, and they end up, by Episode end, to be bad enough guys that Faith decides she needs to stick around in NYC long enough to take them out. At the end of that ep is when Ghost!Wesley would show up.
