AUTHOR'S NOTE: A mini Faith fic. Partially to show what a
"drabble" is and partially to do my favorite thing -- fawn
mindlessly over Faith.
*****
She's got silver eyeshadow on again. Thick, shiny, like
spilled aluminum paint, flowing over her eyes. She's wearing blue
jeans and engineer boots, and despite the noise, despite the crowds,
you can still hear her walk through the rave.
Or maybe you think you can.
She's an archetype, she's the angel you see before you fall,
and you whisper her name under your breath. She turns -- there's no
way she could have heard you -- and she smiles, and she whispers
your name, just as low and just as needy.
You call her "Faith," and she...
She said "Cordelia."
