faith_delivers is a relatively recent addition to the Buffy-ficcing world, and therefore, you probably haven't discovered her yet, and therefore, you most definitely should. Now, some folks out there write fluff, and let their characters breeze through their problems, and get away with too much; and there are folks who wallow in angst, and torture their characters until they break, and it looks like there's no way to heal them. I can find arguments for either side, and I'm happy to read both types of fic, but what I really, truly appreciate, is when someone finds a balance between the two. I believe
faith_delivers has not only found that balance, but she understands it. She knows when to give her characters something they need, and when to let their lives get messy and complicated--and best of all, she does both at once.
In "Boomerang", Buffy and Angel are together. But just because they're soulmates, true loves, whathaveyou, doesn't mean that their life is perfect, or that they're not lacking...something. When Faith comes to visit, the dynamic between the three of them twists, changes, and becomes a bit darker and a whole hell of a lot more doubtful about that "happily ever after" stuff.
faith_delivers gives strong, fast-paced prose, with a first-person, present-tense Angel POV that
works.
