It helps that Hanners is unattached. There's nothing for Faye to be envious about (remembering that the loss of Angus is among her current troubles), it means that Hannelore has more time available for Faye, and because Hanners is not ready for a sexual relationship with anyone (and may never be) she is generally willing to devote more energy than most to being a good friend to everybody. Plus she already has a good track record in being fairy godmother to most of the QC cast.

Maybe I'm looking at this from the wrong angle, but I think it has more to do with the fact that Hanners is the anti-Faye. Faye's typically snarky, defensive and prickly, but when things get difficult she shuts down (or goes for the bottle). Hanners is patient, sometimes kind to a fault and borders on timid, but when things get difficult -- or when Faye gets difficult -- she doesn't put up with people's shit. I think Faye respects (and kinda needs) someone who can not only go toe-to-toe with her, but whose friendship and motives she trusts.

I think that's a fantastic character analysis.
Anahata made a good point, too, about Hanners' lack of attachments making her a fantastic supporter, in regards to having time and the right attitude.
I'm just glad Faye's reaching out to someone. Hanners is the best choice, for sure.
Like Anahata said, Faye is still hurting from her break-up with Angus. With Dora gone, and CoD gone, she doesn't actually have many other close friends to help her. Marten, of course, is the obvious option, but have you ever been around an adorable, happy couple after you end a relationship? I'm just saying, Faye might well agree with the forum members who whine and complain every time Claire and Marten spend time together in-strip.
Aziraphale:
She's probably happy for both of them, but you're right. Post-breakup, the last thing you want to see is a bunch of happy, lovey people.
Omega Entity:
Pssh, I hate Valentines and sweetest day with the burning passion of a thousand firey suns for how much they remind me I'm alone, and I've been single for over a decade.

I had a pun all set to go here, but I couldn't find a way to carry it into the conversation.

We'll just carry it for a while and ax you again later. I'm sure you'll hatchet with no problem.

TBH, I never minded being single as much as I minded the platitudes and unsolicited "advice" that came with it.
