  Lovely - especially in the Faith piece, where it's brought out how wild/sexy/dangerous Faith can be. The Fred piece is heartwrenching. I like the line in the last one where Tara talks about how much she loved everyone she'd outlived; it fits with her position in the show, where she was mostly a lover. I think that's what makes this story's premise of exploring her through lovers work so well.

  I love AU, always:) It's challenging you to look into directions you wouldn't have looked by yourself. I think I like the Fred-version best, probably because I can see Tara/Fred together and I've always had a soft spot for Illyria. But all five ficlets were wonderful!
