[i_kender]

So: 
The following post contains HUGE HUGE SPOILERS! Don't read if you care about spoilers, or don't want to be spoiled for Buffy the comic book!

In Buffy Season Eight's most recent issue, #12....

...Buffy has a one-night stand with a female Slayer. With, you know, the sex and everything.

It was a very "Woah, where the hell did that come from?!" moment. AND IT'S CANON!!

Read more about it in these links.

So what I want to know is: does this mean Buffy and Faith are finally going to get down and dirty? Well, fanboys can dream. I, um, need to lie down now...

I read the comic on the bus home (someone had already spoiled me tho, so I knew what was coming) and had to TURN THE PAGE QUICK bcs of RUDE DRAWINGS! :0

[i_kender]

Hee hee! Did it make you go ALL PINK?

I blushed to the very roots of my hair! NAUGHTY LE5B1AN S3X!!11!!!one!!!

[i_kender]

Hee! *hearts on you*

OMG!

I'm on Season 2 at the moment...catching up after all the cool kids have already seen it.

I now have a mental image that just won't quit. Heee.

[i_kender]

Hoo boy do you have some catching up to do!!

[cabarethaze.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I make the mistake of squeeing at people, and they're like...uh huh, welcome to the 90s.

[i_kender]

Mind you, you also have a lot to look forward to! :)

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I, wow, yeah. Well I hope they explain it.

That's not Faith though is it? It's another slayer?

[i_kender]

It is all explained and clear and in context... it even makes sense.

And no, it is another Slayer. In fact, if you enlarge one of the images of the comic pages, you can probably read a tiny bit of it.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Which one is it? And was whichever one it is present during that kiss scene in the earlier issue?

[i_kender]

Uh, if you're referring to the kissing scene I think you're referring to - why, whaddaya know? Tis the very same Slayerette :)

You should read them. I think there are some trades out now.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

I was referring to the bit where Buffy is unconscious, and can only be woken by the kiss of true love, and Willow and Xander exchange guilty looks and Buffy wakes up tasting cinnamon buns.

[i_kender]

Yes. Except it was cinnamon lipbalm, and it was the afore-mentioned Slayer-shagger.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Damn, I was really hoping it had been Willow who giveth the kiss.

[i_kender]

OTP! OTP!

Sorry, I need a cold shower.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

Willow/Buffy is my long-time buffyverse OTP. And there's just a few inklings in the comic that this might be where they're headed long-term.

[i_kender]

Hmmm... maybe. I don't think they'll go for a Buffy/Willow romance though. Not as such. It's never so easy in Jossverse.

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

A side-line slayer isn't so terribly exciting though...

[blankbadge.livejournal.com]

I'll send it up to you asap

[gonzo21.livejournal.com]

You are the best!

[blankbadge.livejournal.com]

I don't think it'll just be a one night stand, I think this may be ongoing. Damn cool though although Willow definitely wasn't happy with it probably because she's been in love with Buffy since Welcome to the Hellmouth.

[i_kender]

Oh wow, another person with a Buffy/Willow OTP! Who'da thunk it...

[blankbadge.livejournal.com]

Well it was my first OTP! But I'd say its pretty canon that Willow and Faith were both in love with Buffy and Willow is obviously pissed off about Buffy sleeping with another girl.
