I absolutely love this fic! So many lines I wanted to quote, so I've only picked out a few which support my many things to praise:

She's not above electrocuting the girl where she stands and hoping that Faith's superpowers don't include super-insulation. Fantastic Gwen voice; Gwen character in general. It's tough with minor characters to give a strong sense of personality, but boy have you managed it here, and it's the Gwen we remember, older and more dangerous still.

Also, and I don't feel like I can stress this enough, they are totally fine with me maiming people." Great Faith voice too - enjoying her power, threatening for fun - okay, now Faith has boundaries, but they're ones she can stretch.

Later Faith leaves with her book and a few new electrical burns that are already fading, and Gwen stretches out on her hotel bed, bruised but satisfied. And this was hot too, in a way which is very specifically Gwen/Faith - tough women who operate on a level and can take what each other can give.

Outstanding!

Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I always really liked Gwen, because for a character with such little screen-time I think they still managed to give her a cohesive style and personality, and I'm glad I was able to capture that.

Ohhh, very nice :p

I can't say I really know Gwen much, or at all really, but you certainly captured me with this :)

Great stuff. Especially this line -- "See, when you get all excited over dead trees like that, that's why everyone calls you a dork behind your back,"

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! And I'm glad I managed to make Gwen engaging even for people who don't know her backstory.

That was awesome! The dialogue is great -- I especially like Faith's speech about how Gwen's personal appearance is kind of undermining her international man of mystery thing -- and you did an excellent job of having the girls butt heads without either of them becoming the foil, which happens a lot when two strong-willed characters get together. Great job.

Thank you so much! It was really fun to write them together, because they're similar characters but they've each got their own style going on.

This was fabulous!

Gwen was always a minor character I liked. She had such spunk and that really shone through in your story :)

Really cool.

Very hot: "Later Faith leaves with her book and a few new electrical burns that are already fading, and Gwen stretches out on her hotel bed, bruised but satisfied."
