Dead British Men For All

Here's a post-series drabble for draconin.




Dead British Men For All

“Can I have one too?”
Casey’s fifteen and technically shouldn’t be drinking beer, but Faith slides a bottle along the table towards her, opens her own, and takes several long, silent sips.

Just as Vi’s about to ask, she looks up and says, “My Watcher’s dead.”

“What? Giles-” Vi starts to stand.

“Nah. Giles is B’s Watcher. Mine was…” Faith’s eyes are far away. “Mine was stuffy, pretentious, bossy… controlling… wicked good with a shotgun… badass… sexy as hell…” She trails off.

“And he died?”

“Yeah.” Another long drink. “Went out fighting, at least. That’s something.”

Vi nods, remembering too.

...very nice and teary, except that Faith's watcher was a woman? Unless that was the point?

(The Watcher in question being Wesley...)

Glad you liked it!

*sniffle* One of the entirely personal wishes I had that went unfulfilled was for some of the Buffy co, particularly Giles, to see badass!Wesley. Thanks for reminding me that at least Faith knew.

.........I KNEW THAT.

AHAHAHAHAHA I'M DUMB. AHAHAHAHA.

Excuse me while I go sit in a corner and whine about how stupid I am.

I love this, with Faith stopping to take note, in her own way.

But what is Vi remembering?

Sad - but spot on.

Vi's remembering her own Watcher. (Given that they were all killed by Bringers back in season seven...)

Glad you liked this!
