Amy and Faith, if you haven't already gotten that one for the shipping meme.
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
Send Me a Ship
I just had an interesing possible idea for a plot point in my Aliciaverse stories.
In the Aliciaverse, Sunnydale is never collapsed into a crater and all the Slayers aren’t activated, and Buffy hangs around in Sunnydale more or less forever. (eventually Giles retires from actively watchering her, though he does mostly stay in Sunnydale, and Buffy gets a new Watcher around the time she’s like, 30/31/32) because the Hellmouth isn’t exactly going away
So what if, someday, Buffy runs for Mayor and gets elected and does things like try to shut down or shrink or render inaccessible to demons some of the tunnels under the city, to make it harder for them to move around? It’s the way it is, at least common fanon-wise (I don’t recall if it is ever confirmed), because the Mayor set it up that way deliberately.
And honestly, the idea of Buffy as Mayor during the day and Slayer at night sounds really cool. Small town Mayor is probably something Buffy could do, once she got older.
What does anyone think?
@bi-faith @sleeplessbutdreaming
About Kathryn: In what ways is she similar to and different from Angel? Similar to and different from Darla? Similar to and different from Kate?! Does Kathryn have a closer relationship with Kate or Angel? How much does Kathryn really know about Darla? How much does she WANT to know? What is her biggest fear? What are her ultimate dreams and goals? What are her passions and hobbies? Does she have a lot of friends? What are her biggest strengths and flaws? Is she someone you'd be close to?
Again, ty, ilysm for giving me this excuse to talk about my OCs, esp. Kathryn, who is probably my second favorite Aliciaverse OC.
In what ways is she similar to and different from Angel?
She’s similar to Angel in a couple ways – for one, she’s an introvert, and is perfectly fine, most nights, with sitting alone with a good book. Also like her dad, she’s very particular about her weapons (though, to be fair, so are her Uncles Wesley and Gunn). And she’s a big fan of Classical Russian Literature, in the original Russian (I will die for that headcanon), though really, for her, that extends to classical literature from other cultures, in their original language. Right now she’s reading a lot of the Chinese Classics.
She’s unlike Angel in that she’s not socially awkward/bad, like him. She’s also better at expressing her emotions, as a general rule. And she’s not a fan of the color black, whereas getting Angel to wear anything else is often a challenge.
Similar to and different from Darla?
I honestly don’t think she’s a lot like Darla, or a lot not like, Darla, you know?
I mean, I have a moderate to decent handle on Darla, but she’s not one of those chars I really super get. Yet.
But let’s see: She’s like Darla in that she doesn’t take shit from anyone, but unlike Darla, she doesn’t usually snap at/go after the people who give her shit.
Uhm… unlike Darla, she also has a lot of patience when it comes to Drusilla and her… everything (who insists on calling Kathryn her baby sister). Like, Darla, in canon, lost her patience with Drusilla a lot (though Darla also seemed to like her and such, in as much as any of the Whirlwind liked each other, outside the Sprusilla pair?) and Kathryn doesn’t have that. She is actually fairly fond of the ensouled seer-vampire. Though, like Darla, she doesn’t have a lot of use for Spike one way or the other. She doesn’t hate him, she just… *shrug*
And she gets her blonde hair from Darla. Does that count?
Similar to and different from Kate?!
Like Kate, she has a strong sense of justice and legal/criminal justice. Also like Kate, at least by the time Kathryn is born, she’s got little patience with how legal rules and prcedures can hinder the fight against supernatural evil – when it comes to human on human crime, that’s one thing. She’s not a huge fan, but she understands the concept. Also like Kate, she has some issues with anger. That’s the one emotion she’s not very good with expressing in a good way, though she’s better than Kate was in Season 1 AtS.
Unlike Kate, she never had any trouble accepting demons as people – Kate does by now, of course, but it took her some time to really get used to the idea of good or neutral demons, for one, and then to really consider them as people, in the strictest sense. She also doesn’t have any “Self-loathing hypocrite slut” issues, the way Kate did at one point (to use her own words – I HC from that line and other moments here and there that Kate had trouble really accepting her own sexuality to a degree or any desire for a romantic partner, thanks to all the baggage society likes to pile on women, especially career driven women).
Does Kathryn have a closer relationship with Kate or Angel?
Hold a gun to her head and make her pick… well, she’ll break your hand and at least one of your legs and then disassemble the gun right in front of you, but assuming she couldn’t do that, she’d pick Kate. She loves her dad, don’t let anyone believe otherwise, but she and her mom… she’s closer to Kate. Ever so slightly.
How much does Kathryn really know about Darla?
She knows the basics of Darla’s life and times, certainly, and knows that Darla loved her, and loved her enough to give her life so Kathryn could be born.
Beyond that? She knows a few details here and there, a story or two, and that’s about it. She doesn’t really think of Darla as ‘mom’ or really wonder about her much. Kate is her mom, as far as Kathryn is concerned.
How much does she WANT to know?
Not much. She definitely doesn’t want to know anything about Darla’s various… atrocities, to say the least. When she does think about Darla, she likes to think about the woman who died to allow her to be born, who loved her. She doesn’t want to think about the monster her biological mother was for most of her existence. She’s got enough to deal with with the monster her dad was.
What is her biggest fear?
She has two big ones – one, the possibility that someday, somehow, her dad will lose his soul. And, even worse, the possibility that she may be the only one on hand who can stake him. She is not at all sure she could do it if she needed to. Thankfully, Angel is hardly counting on her to be the one to stake him if that happens.
Her other one is that she might somehow become or turn out to be as big a monster as Angelus or Darla were.
What are her ultimate dreams and goals?
Honestly, she doesn’t have a whole lot of ambitions, in the long range. I mean, she wants revenge for the death of her gf, at the start of the actual stories, but that’s hardly an ultimate dream or goal. Really, what she wants out of life is to fight the good fight, save lives and souls, and be happy. She wants to marry a nice girl that she loves as much as life itself (she though Rachel might have been that girl, given more time), though she doesn’t really have strong feelings on the issue of children (if her hypothetical future wife wants to adopt or whatever, Kathryn is all for it, but if she doesn’t, Kathryn will have no issue)
What are her passions and hobbies?
She likes to read classical literature in the original language, and she, consequently, likes to learn languages. Right now, she knows English, Spanish, Russian, Latin, Chinese (Mandarin) and Chinese (Literary), formal version of the language abandoned in the early 20th century, Danish, German, Ancient Greek, French and she’s learning Arabic right now. She wants to learn Japanese and Hindi (and Sanskrit) after that.
She also likes various comedy webseries.
She's also a big boardgamer - she really likes the long and involved games, the ones that have a thousand fiddly bits and take eight hours to play. She likes some Eurogames (ex: Settlers of Catan, El Grande) and some 'American-Style' (Ex: Twilight Imperium, Axis and Allies) though she hates rail games.
Does she Have a lot of Friends?
Not 'a lot'. Kathryn has always been the 'have a few close friends' sort of person, rather than the 'have a lot of friends'. In Seattle, her friends were mostly her collegues - Samuel Montel, Dr. Carter Williams, Rachel Cordel (who was of course her girlfriend as well), a few others. Right now, between Samuel being the one who betrayed Kathryn and Rachel to the evil cult, Rachel's death and her own roaring rampage of revenge, really only Dr. Williams counts as a friend. In time, of course, she'll make new ones, and count Alicia and Daniel (and Jack and Talia) among them. Right now, she is friendly with Alicia and Daniel, but their more like cousins/siblings than 'friends' per se.
What Are Her Biggest Strengths and Flaws?
Strengths - her drive to be a champion, her strong sense of justice, her well honed strategic mindset
Weaknesses - her issues with anger, her obsessive/brooding worries about becoming a monster like Angelus, which can cause her problems/get in her way. Especially when her anger issues lead to her doing something that makes her start worrying about turning into a monster.
Is she someone you'd be close to?
Probably not? I mean, we might end up being 'Board Game Friends', I suppose - you know, people you play Board Games with at your local game shop once a week, or on local cons or whatever. We share a similar taste in board games, though I do like Rail Games unlike her. But I don't think we'd really get along.\
Her Hogwart's House
You didn't ask, but it is Gryffindor.
OC questions: In what ways are Daniel and JJ similar to and different from Xander? In what ways are they similar to and different from Cordelia? What do Xander and Cordelia find is the most difficult aspect of parenting them? Are Daniel and JJ close to each other or do they fight a lot? Do JJ and Daniel have any contact with Cordelia and Xander's extended families? What Hogwarts Houses would Daniel and JJ both be sorted into?! What's their MBTI? What are their passions and interests?!
Thank youfor asking me about my OCs! ^^ ilysm.
Okay, sojust as a note I don’t do/like MBTI, so I couldn’t tell you one way or theother what Daniel and JJ are in that sense.
As for therest… well, strap in, because this post got longer than expected.
In what ways are Daniel and JJ similar toand different from Xander?
Daniel takesafter Xander in a few key ways – he inherited his dad’s wit, but also his dad’soccasional horrendously bad timing with humor. He also inherited his dad’s skillat reading people and situations, which while far from perfect, often lets himcut to the heart of things.
He’sdifferent from his dad was at his age in that he doesn’t have any issues withhis own sense of masculinity (which Xander has Grandpa Tony to thank for, ofcourse) and just a much higher native sense of self esteem. Also unlike Xander,he’s very focused academically and always has been – Xander’s not dumb, not bya longshot, but Daniel is reallysmart, and more importantly, has a genuine desire to learn Xander never had.
JJ takesafter Xander in her (similar to his)absolute disdain for the “in” crowd at High School. She’s also as much of anerd as he is, and then some. (Not that Daniel doesn’t have some nerdishtendencies, but compared to his dad or sister…) She also has his fiercedetermination to help, to be part of the Fight against demons and vamps (Yes,Xander eventually left Sunnydale and the day to day of the Fight, but he didthat mostly because Cordelia wanted a more normal-adjacent life, not because hewanted out. And he still gets involved from time to time, though less and lessonce he has kids). When JJ found out she was a potential (and yes, she is, andyes, Cordelia and Xander are very unhappy about that) she got really into it. Like,JJ doesn’t want the current Slayer(there’s been only 2 counting the current one since Faith’s near-deathexperience called her ‘replacement’ some 14 years ago – average Slayer lifespanhas increased) to die or anything, but she also really wants to be called. (And, secretly unbeknownst to herparents, she’s started looking at Colleges in or very near Cleveland, OH, soshe can be on the Hellmouth and help the fight in any way she can, though she’sgot 2 more years till college). She also has Xander’s complete lack of nativefashion sense. (Xander has been borrowing Cordelia’s fashion sense since theystarted dating, after all :p )
She’s unlikeXander in that she’s more cynical than he ever was and she’s sarcastic more ina blunt and nasty way than funny (though she can be funny). She’s also muchmore athletic and into sports, though her disdain for the “in” crowd at schoolmeans she’s refrained from actually joiningany sports at school. She’s also a much better liar than Xander is.
In what ways are they similar to anddifferent from Cordelia?
Daniel, likeCordelia, is very open and very ‘what you see is what you get’ – he is who heis and he makes no apologies for it. He’s also pretty socially involved and hasa wide-social circle. He’s also mastered Cordelia’s old talent at convincingDaddy to buy her things (though in his case, it’s convincing Cordelia to buy him things. Xander has teased her that one would think she’d beable to have better resistance against her own tactics).
UnlikeCordelia, he’s got this wonderful thing called Tact. He also has no desire tobe popular, though he could be if he wanted to (Cordelia taught him all thetricks, but also taught him to not make her early HS mistake and take fakefriends and popularity/adulation over real friendships - both is good if you can get it, but thelatter is better than the former, every time).
JJ is likeCordelia in that she’s blunt and can be quite cruel about it in the process,sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally. She’s also got Cordelia’sinterest in theater (Cordelia does, in time, get better at acting, an ends updoing a fair bit of local community theater in Sacremento), though like hermom, she doesn’t have much of a singing voice. She’s unlike Cordelia in her ahm…desire to be on the front lines of the fight, always (Cordelia doesn’t shy orrun from the fight, never has, but in part because she never got the visions,she has a much more practical and cautious ‘I can only do so much on the frontlines since I have no powers’ approach). She’s also, of course, activelyrepulsed by the very idea of being popular or in the ‘in’ crowd. And, ofcourse, has no fashion sense.
What do Xander and Cordelia find is themost difficult aspect of parenting them?
Steering thekids from making the same mistakes they did growing up (no parent wants theirkid to do that – and everyone made mistakes growing up) without stifling them.Also the fact that both of their kids aren’t like, forever content to just donothing about vamps and demons (Daniel is a lot more low-key, and more willingto take a back-tier role, but he does want to help and be a part of things, andthat carries risk). Given Xander and Cordelia’s pasts, it’s hard to just say ‘NO!’to that without looking like total hypocrites.
Also, justall the little fiddly bits of raising kids – from helping with school work tomaking sure they do their chores to worrying when they’re sick or a half-hourlate or whatever. Knowing they’ll both leave the house for good (Daniel stillcomes home for Summer and holidays while at College, after all).
Are Daniel and JJ close to each other or dothey fight a lot?
They fightlike cats and dogs, but they’re also probably the closest person the other has.That sibling stereotype – nobody messes with my sibling but me, and all that. Theytell each other everything (Daniel told JJ he thought he might be gay, then hewas bi, once he realized he liked both genders, JJ told Daniel about her planto go to college on the Cleveland Hellmouth).
But both canget easily exasperated with the other, and they can fight over the most triviallittle thing.
Do JJ and Daniel have any contact withCordelia and Xander's extended families?
Some. Theyvisit Grandma Harris from time to time, or she visits them. They have little todo with Cordelia’s parents, however. Some of Cordelia’s cousins andaunts/uncles eventually reconnect with her, and so there’s some of that, andthere’s been visits and contacts, etc with some of the less unpleasant branchesof the Harris family. But really, the extended family that matters to theChase-Harris family is the whole extended Sunnydale/L.A. gang.
What Hogwarts Houses would Daniel and JJboth be sorted into?
Daniel is asolid Ravenclaw. He’s waaaay too into figuring out magic scientifically to beanything else. He wants to know, wants to learn, needs to know.
JJ is a Slytherinwith Griffindor aspects. She’s a bit ofa loner, has… mildly flexible ethics, and views the world in a much moreSlytherin sort of mind. But still, it’s very Griffindory to want to be on thefront lines of the eternal fight of good versus evil so badly.
What are their passions and interests?!
Daniel isinto Science, Science-Fiction (especially space opera) and engineering. Thoseare his big favorites.
JJ likesacting, video games (the more immersive and in-depth the better… also shallowaction games with lots of explosions, and jumpscare survival horror games and…okay, so she basically every video game genre) and martial arts. Comic bookstoo.
A Memory She Couldn't Share
Written for Darla Appreciation Day @sunnydaleslut @bisexualdarla
If you want further information on Kathryn or the AU in which she resides, you can check the ‘Kathryn Lockley’, ‘Aliciaverse’ and ‘The Spoiler Character’ tags on my blog. All you really need to know for the specifics of this AU is that instead of a boy (Connor), Darla and Angel conceived a girl (Kathryn) and said girl never got taken to Quor’Toth by Holtz, and Angel and Kate Lockley eventually get together and raise Kathryn together. There’s other things (many) different about this AU, but those aren’t essential to understanding this little fic.
The line at the beginning about a Slayer was inspired after reading similar (ish) line in the fic “Breaking the Hourglass” by Redcristal, though its immaterial to the larger story. Borrowed/used with permission. The fic itself is good and worth a read.
If this brat turns out to be a Slayer, so help me…
Saying that when she'd fought out that the impossible child she was pregnant with was a girl... well, Darla had meant something very different then... disgust at the very idea of her child being something she despised as much as a Slayer. Even now, she was still not a fan of them, especially not of the insipid little blonde that had caused her so many problems, but... that really was neither here nor there.
Because these days... because these days, she had a very different reason for not wanting her little girl to end up a Slayer.
Because, Buffy and Faith's track record aside, the average lifespan of a Slayer was still small. And even though she was dead and incorporeal, she could almost feel blood she no longer had run cold at the thought of her daughter dying before her time at the hands of a demon, or a vampire... or anything.
Slowly, Darla reached down and gently 'touched' the cheek of the sleeping three-year old, going through the motions of tucking a stray hair behind toddler's ear. She couldn't feel Kathryn's skin, and Kathryn couldn't feel her, but... at least she could imagine it. Imagine what it was like to touch her daughter.
From the moment of her death, she'd feared Angel would, like so many things he'd attempted, with and without a soul, completely botch the job of raising their child. But... in the end... so far at least, he didn't seem to be doing half-bad, from what she could tell. She couldn't even begrudge the other blonde bitch that Kathryn was calling 'mommy'... much.
Kate Lockley loved Kathryn like her own, and Darla had no doubt the detective would die for her. And... as a mother, she didn't seem to be all that bad either, she supposed.
Though Darla did resent it... more than she entirely wanted to admit. She had her soul again – she was her soul – but being a 'good person' was still something of a foreign concept to her. Even after so long dead.
It would take a Saint to not resent it. And Darla would never, on principle alone, qualify as a saint.
The one good thing we ever did together. And now all Darla could do was watch... watch her daughter grow up. Watch Angel get to raise her, get to experience all the things she could. And sure, that also meant he got all the stresses, all the diapers... the potty training was something she was almost glad she missed...
And yet...
Darla knew that she'd take it all if it meant being able to actually hold Kathryn. To know that she would be more, in Kathryn's mind, than just a story told... that she would actually be her mother. To be able to be there when she went on her first day of school and... all the ridiculous fucking sappy shit that she wasn't going to have now.
Kathryn was going to grow up calling another woman 'mom', seeing that woman as her mother in every way that counted. Darla would be just... an idea. A story, a concept... a memory that she couldn't share.
Even without a body, she could 'feel' her 'throat' tighten at the thought...
Pulling back from Kathryn a little, Darla closed her eyes, trying to clear her thoughts.
There was so much she couldn't have, but... it wasn't like she'd had a choice. She'd done what she'd done, staked herself... because it was the only way her daughter could live.
And...
And that was a choice she would make every time. Because it meant that Kathryn could have this life, even without her. That one day – in the far, far future – she would be able to speak with her daughter, let her know how much she loved her.
Until then... she'd watch her daughter. Watch her grow, watch her... there was nothing she could actually do, no way she could actually interact with the physical world, but... she would keep trying. And she would keep watching Kathryn.
“I love you, Kathryn...” Darla murmured, leaning down to press a light kiss to her daughter's forehead, wishing that she could feel that much at least. “I'll always love you.” As she straighted up, Darla's 'breath' caught when the little girl's eyes opened, one hand going to her forehead.
“Mommy?” She asked, confused, looking around...
And Darla's heart broke all over again.
Faimy for the ship meme
who hogs the duvet If this doesn’t scream Faith, I’m not sure what does
who texts/rings to check how their day is going Faith
who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts Faith, probably.
who gets up first in the morning Amy
who suggests new things in bed Initially, Amy is the one who suggests bondage, as my oneshot ‘My Afternoon is Free’ discusses (though it does not get explicit). But after that, Faith is probably the one proposing the kinkier stuff.
who cries at movies AMY
who gives unprompted massages Amy
who fusses over the other when they’re sick They both do it, but Faith rarely gets sick (though when she does, it sucks super-bad, because she is just a horrible patient)
who gets jealous easiest Amy is so bad with this. Like, she knows Faith isn’t gonna cheat on her or anything, but Faith is almost naturally flirtatious - it’s a default state for her, for a variety of reasons lots of people have discussed.
who has the most embarrassing taste in music Amy.
who collects something unusual Is collecting daggers, knives and other small edged weapons unusual? Yes. Yes it is.
who takes the longest to get ready Probably Amy, overall
who is the most tidy and organised Amy, compared to Faith
who gets most excited about the holidays Honestly? Faith, really. I mean, they both have a lot of baggage associated with the holidays, but Faith... she just wants to have Christmas.
who is the big spoon/little spoon AMY IS THE LITTLE SPOON! ALWAYS THE LITTLE SPOON! I will defend this one to the DEATH.
who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports Faith. Holy shit, Faith. You should hear her when she plays Xbox live or shit like that.
who starts the most arguments Probably Amy, at Faith’s recklessness
who suggests that they buy a pet *shifty eyes* Faith. She just wants a dog. Or a cat. Or, you know, something to love. :P
what couple traditions they have Patrolling together, watching TV shows together - especially later on, after Alicia is born, they weekly schedule a few hours where they just cuddle and binge watch.
what tv shows they watch together Jeapordy, OUAT, Xena, DCTV
what other couple they hang out with In mainline Coinverse/Aliciaverse, they hang with Tara/Willow, Xander/Cordelia, Kate/Angel and Fred/Gunn. Probably Doyle/Harry too
how they spend time together as a couple Patrolling, Watching stuff, just... hanging, talking, cuddling, sex
who made the first move Amy, in most universes
who brings flowers home Faith - its one of those ‘that’s a thing you do for your partner things, right?’ Amy did it once for Faith, and while Faith really appreciated the gesture, she... didn’t really go in for them. But Amy does like getting flowers every now and then
who is the best cook Amy, by default?
@bisexualdarla
Faimy for the OTP First asks
@sleeplessbutdreaming also asked Faimy
Who holds the others hand first? Probably Amy - as has been pointed out, Faith is really touch-starved and also shies away from any sort of overt sign of affection. Though really, I also think it depends on Faith and Amy’s respective development
Who initiates the first kiss? Amy, in many cases.
Who asks the other out for the first date? Amy
Who says ‘I love you’ first? Honestly, I think Faith would have to say it first. Amy would be even more afraid of saying than Faith, though for different reasons.
Who’s ready for marriage first? Tough one. Probably Amy, since Marriage fits into her ‘fairy tale hopeless romantic’ worldview.
Who wants kids first? Neither of them want kids. Any children they have would be accidental (i.e. magical pregnancies ala Alicia or circumstances creating an accidental adoption, as it were)
Who’s the first to break down because they’re going to be parents? Amy, but only because she finds out first, since in every universe I imagine Faimy children, Amy is the one that’s pregnant.
Who’s the first to cuss in front of the baby? Surprisingly, Amy. Faith tries really hard to not cuss around the baby, but Amy, since she’s not as much of a pottymouth, doesn’t make that extra effort. Faith gets pissed when Amy does it tho.
Who’s name does the baby learn first? Probably Amy.
Who’s least ready to let their kids grow up? Faith. Oh man, Faith is so not ready for this.
Who cries when the kids leave? Both of them.
Who makes tea for the other because they really shouldn’t be getting up so much anymore? Faith
Who teases the grandkids most? Faith, probably.
Who spoils the grandkids most? Probably both of them.
Who insists on doing even the most simple of tasks for the other because they’re both growing so old and they really need to rest? Both of them are always doing this, but Faith is the one that does it more, since even old, she’s faster than Amy.
Who dies first? FUCK YOU I WON’T ANSWER THIS! Probably Faith during an apocalypse so bad even 80+ y/o Faith comes out of retirement.
