I just really hope that whoever said that Faye might drunkenly cheat on Angus with Sven is wrong. :/

I don't think it'll go that way. I could see Angus, now that he has the gig, trying a full-court press to get Faye to move with him. She freaks out, ties one on, and blurts out to him that her FWB has confessed his love for her and that she's now not sure how she feels and does not want to move with him. Voila, breakup and ... possible messiness with Dora, Marten, et. al.
I also owe some forumites an apology. I'm not sure how we go from this Dora to one who wants to cut Sven completely off. Unless something majorly fucked-up happened off screen, I'm now sort of side-eyeing why Dora freaked out that way.

Another possibility!
As for the Dora thing......I think she is just protective of her friends. And this is the 2nd time that Sven has messed up/with Faye. Hence the extreme reaction.

While there are certainly instances of Sven being shitty, Dora cutting Sven out of her life has never really made sense to me. He has counseled her and helped her feel better. Sven let Dora live with him after she and Marten broke up. He seems like a pretty good brother who supports his sister.
Additionally, Sven is not the bad guy he's made out to be around these parts. He tried to offer Marten insight so Marten and Dora could become a better couple. He also took Hannelore on a pretend date. Faye even started being nice to him.
To get back to Dora, there has been at least one instance where Dora assumed the worst about Sven without being right ("Dora, it's been MONTHS since I hooked up with ANYBODY. That's not who I am anymore. Which you'd know, if you ever bothered to ask.") Dora hasn't seen Sven in the comic, on screen, since 2194. I don't think it would be a reach to guess that Dora hasn't talked to Sven in a while and has never bothered to consider his feelings.

There is kinda a part of me that wants Faye to go back to Sven despite it being a terrible, terrible idea just to make things as awkward for Dora as possible.

Not necessarily so. Jeph doesn't do static characters. Faye already developed past the worst of her social anxieties, an honest try at a long distance relationship might even be what she needs to get past her abandonment issues.
Somebody:
Did anyone else misread "smoking" as "soaking" at first?
BenRG:
Well, it wasn't unexpected. Faye now has some difficult choices to make. The thing is, she's not especially good at that. Does she try the long range thing? I suspect that part of her problem will be expecting the worst and then trying to make it happen, all whilst lying to herself that she's trying to 'protect' Angus. This will test just how much progress Faye has made, mentally and emotionally.
I'm sort of thinking that this will impact on Marten and Claire. Faye is going to want a shoulder to cry on; will Claire be willing to share? Will Marten even be there? If not him...? Well she has a potential comfort blanket in the form of Sven!
