FK faction icons II: Valentines for Valentines!
The Forever Knight episode, "Be My Valentine", is unusual in inspiring three different affiliations. It wasn't unknown for a faction to spring from a particular episode—one might even say "obviously" in the case of a guest star—but it was unprecedented for a single episode to result in so many.
Two of these were specifically related to Fleur, Nick's younger sister: her own faction (usually referred to as the "Fleur-boosters", which is a name I find rather less than aesthetically pleasing), and the Faithfuls (for the aborted relationship between her and LaCroix, which Nick thwarted).

The Valentines are the affiliation for those who see potential in a relationship between Natalie and LaCroix. On the face of it absurd: she fears and loathes his influence over Nick, and he is appalled by Nick's quest for mortality, which she supports.
