Notes denied_heaven wanted Faith/Dawn in Buffy’s room. Set during s7. Original post here Sucking kisses laid against a delicate collarbone. Flushed cheeks. Long fingers tangled in unruly hair. Teeth and tongue on a rosy nipple, and Dawn arches, sighs beneath her. Damned if she isn’t water in the desert…something soft and sweet, still clinging to innocence, after all those years among the hard and jaded. Her belly is velvety-soft, pale and unguarded, and it quivers as Faith breathes hot against it, teeth grazing tender flesh. Her thighs quiver too, clenching nervously at Faith’s waist. Just north of the Promised Land, an uncertain voice speaks up. Offers: “They made me out of Buffy, you know.” The thought, the look, strikes a cord in Faith. She remembers what it’s like to never be enough. Dawn’s face flashes something vulnerable when Faith rises up above her. “The way I hear it, you’re somethin’ pretty special all on your own. Way I see it…I heard right.” Dawn’s eyes shine, and Faith seals that promise with a kiss. Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
