ATS: Return by Roseveare (Wesley/Faith)

[field_reports]

All you ever needed to know about the relationship between Wesley and Faith can be found in Roseveare's Return. The author has a piercing understanding of the characters and the moral fractures in the Jossverse, and an absolutely stunning command of prose. The best way I can phrase this rec, I suppose, is that the story makes sense -- it's a straight-line extrapolation of the source material in characterization, history, emotion. As fanfic goes, it's pretty much perfect.
