Disclaimer: They aren't mine, not yet, but the will be once I've taken over the world. Bwah-ha-ha.
Summary: As she pinned the comb in her hair, whiteness snaked out from the comb, bleaching her hair. She screamed, arching forward as she fell into the sea. Twisting under the waves, she writhed under the water, as if scrabbling for escape. Her hand reached upward but was unable to break through the surface. With a final grimace, she relaxed into the sea's cold embrace. As her feet touched down to the bottom, white locks drifted in the current. The moon drifted across the horizon and was close to setting before she moved again. Her eyes opened and looked up from below the sea.
Notes: Many thanks to my most awesome betas: deird1, for making sure Wesley and Aidan didn't do anything totally unBritish; and diebirchen who had the agonizing job of checking my grammar and telling me when what I wrote just didn't make sense - she put in a lot of work, which I very much appreciate.
Notes: Petra Hyde Burnand was Faith's previous Watcher, the one killed by Kakistos.
Notes: The Narbon XL-7 is named after Helen Narbon from the most excellent comic, Narbonic
Notes: The song Faith sings in Wesley's car is “Strange Phenomena” by Kate Bush.
Notes: Much like Brigit, I couldn't resist the scene from Young Frankenstein.
Notes: The gag with the spilt milk in the kitchen is from the original Pink Panther movie (Peter Sellers version).
