MAU - Slayers - Runaways
Well this is where it starts, the final push towards the big finale. This story was actually written immediately after I posted the previous story (not the April Fool's one, the one before). I really can't go into much detail because a lot is building on stuff to come. But if anyone is interested in the timeline of the series, this is roughly six months after the first story, keeping the story current with the present. I haven't fully figured it out completely, but it is meant to take place around the same time as the story is posted.
I do want to remark on Faith's comment about finding one of the actors on Supernatural to be attractive. While she may not like to admit it, she does have a type. R and this actor fall within it, so there is something there. She is still highly troubled by the small mental changes she has been through. Not that she is trying to resist it, she really can't. But she can be bothered by this. This comes from how I chose to write the change done by the MAU. It does change the very structure of the brain. The mind itself (personality, memories) are largely unchanged, but when put on top of the new brain, things are a little different. Faith is dealing with all the emotions, instincts, and hormonal issues that the real Faith would have. This doesn't really go against the other stories, in fact most seem to support it in some way. It has just never been focused on in the story. I just went with it because I find the relationship between mind and body to be fascinating.
The main point is still the characters, but if I can fit in something like that I can make myself a little happier.
