Okay, I just read this whole frickin' thing. In one day.



Dunno how I didn't notice it before, but with how busy the Pens gets I tend to quickly scan for certain things and just skipped over this somehow.



BIG mistake. Hence the reading-it-all-in-one-evening approach...



Incredibly great start to things, really love how it's come together.

Beth and Kathleen-



This story is awsome, I cannot wait to see where it goes from here. Please keep up the phenomonal work!





Xita-

I love that avatar...I was looking at it a bit ago and it almost made me want to cry...Also...um, I'm curious about your sig...lol



Aim

[cables]

oh yeah...i'm with kalita on the catching up with the awesomeness of this story! as my first post-introduction reply (yay, i'm all introduced and everything now...no more lurky lurking for me...hello everyone!), i just had to let it out that you ladies write beeee-autifully...well, i know "duh"...everyone figured that out already...i'm not creative with the praise, i know...but it's from the heart, truly.



your take on S7 is great (and woah...tease much!?! if i wasn't so uber busy all of the time, i would have to say that the suspense will kill me..but time flys by so fast these days, i'm sure that i'll make it...barely...) you have it all here! w/t goodness, angst, a cool badguy plot, love, action, suspense, character growth with all of the scoobs (yay! i like giles, too...gotta love that accent), comedy, more angst, even more w/t goodness...all written so flowingly (is that a word?) with thoughtfulness, grace and love...it is so beautiful! (i'm sorta stuck on that word here, i think...)



and even though i'll be watching on the tube for ME's S7 also (yup, i admit it.), it'll be cool to have an alternate take on it here...one that i'm sure will rock muchly...way more than than other stuff on tv



thank you for sharing your talent with us, ladies. you two must have such beautiful souls (see, i knew i was stuck) to write write such wonderful works of art about this loving relationship (i also read "the letting go" way back when- that's how i ended up on this board, actually). you have my heartfelt gratitude...



cables



ps..i'm having trouble coming up with a sig. any ideas for me anyone? i'm too sleepy to be creative...

[xita]

Imperfectly Me, don't cry about the avatar, it is happy avatar, good loving, true lovin! The sig? hee, just me having fun, My friend Jill met Amber in toronto and Garfield had sent her a drawing he wanted Amber sign to me. She saw my name and recognized it and said "oooh xita" hee.

[VampNo12]

Guys what a wonderful ending to this part of the story, and I truly am intrigued with that teaser for the next part. Loved Tara's analogy with the salt and pepper shakers, and the line of Tara's ("They need each other to be all they can be."), was a wonderful way to convey how W&T draw strength from each other. Also liked how they continued the analogy (with Dawn's help) to include the whole gang (ie "We're a whole Scooby table.").



The twist with Maladic was something I would never have seen coming, and that is what makes it so fascinating. To a have a great/powerful Mage want to "gift" Willow with has staff (and power) just shows how "lost" Willow had gotten as DMW. As well as shows how truly powerful/destructive Willow is when "supped up" on dark magic.



I am also glad Anya and Xander seem to be making a little headway with their relationship. Lastly, the ending had an ominous tone, but I know W&T healing together(both physically and mentally), will eventually be able to overcome any new obstacles that may come their way. Can't what for the new part!

What a wonderful story.



I am usually not a fan of "Tara as something else" stories. I kinda liked the idea that she was after, just human, but this was wonderful.



You gave us all a Xander we could care about.

You gave us a mature Dawn and a subtlly grieving Anya.

You gave us a Buffy that I could believe in. Some who has power and yet still does not have the answers.



But most importantly you gave us Willow and Tara back.



Thank you both!

[KathleenWolf]

Hi (little wave) to everyone...



Oh my... I have just realized how horribly remiss I have been with thank yous and answering questions etc... so sorry... I have many valid excuses but still... forgive me?



Mostly what I want to say is that all of you will never know how wonderfully awed and touched Beth and I are that you have all enjoyed Gift Of Sorrow so much.. and that even in the end we were able to throw a little diversion so that Maladic's true purpose came as a surprise...



We are also very happy that our 'ensemble style- with a focus on Willow/Tara issues' has been well received... we find it insanely difficult to remove our two lovely witches from their environment as part of the gang, though we guarantee that our Season Seven will be orbiting around them and drawing the character growth for the others from there... we always continue to promise as we have from day one that Willow and Tara are together, are staying together, and no matter what angst we throw at them are a couple... despite our evil cliffhangery teaser for the third ep "Shadows of Twilight" (we cut down the title a bit) the promise is still in effect...



In terms of what is going to happen... evil ... of course I cannot say... but I can say we're big on the hinting and foreshadowing, so the opener had alot of clues as to the important fallout points from season six.



Personally I am so estatic that Madalene has been so well received... ... it's always difficult to introduce central non-canon characters but I think in this case so far she has found her place somewhat... though for anyone not enjoying her don't worry she will not be a eternally permanent fixture...



So in update news Beth and I have done some work on the new ep but are attempting to get a small lead on ourselves as we work out exactly how this ep will play out... .. so hopefully update soon and we do hope that everyone keep enjoying... thank you to all the lurkers and new readers who bravely spoke up... and thank you to everyone whose been with us from any point since the beginning, it is so amazing that you are all reading so avidly, and it makes all our hard work so worth it



take care... kathleen



ps: if Xita (or any other lovely moderator) happens to swing by and see this... I had tried to send you an offline message on Yahoo but I'm not sure how sucessful I was... Beth and I were wondering in terms of board maintenance is it preferable to put the finished GOS in the complete stories thread and make a new thread for episode three or to continue it here in this thread? we know with the limit on threads that we didn't want to cause clutter... so if you could let us know we'd appreciate it... thanks

I really enjoyed this story -- and am intrigued by the concept of this being the beginning of Season 7 (or the beginning of a season 7).



I would like to join the masses and say that I look forward to more ...



Thanks for the stories ... you (and they) are wonderful,

I've always had faith in you two, that you would have our girls come out TOGETHER in the end. Thank you.



It's been a pleasure to read your stuff. You are both very gifted and to be able to share that with each other... that's just very cool. Congrats to you both.



I'm very much looking forward to the update. Can't wait.



Take care,

Jen



OH... (Beth- it was your mom right, or was it Kath's?) How's she doing?

-----------------------------------


Willow: I had too much nog

Tara: Oh, baby, want me to rub your tummy? She likes it when I ... stop explaining things.

[Beth Dragon]

It was one of those perfect days, when the sunlight filtered down from its lofty heights as the centre of our universe and kisses everything on the earth’s surface with warm refreshing rays.



Willow knew that she could explain what sunshine was, how hot it was, how far it had to travel. She could explain about solar flares, coronas and radioactive sub particles. One thing she knew not even she could explain was how good a nice sunny day could make you feel. Well that and the mystery of how sunlight could add even more gorgeous highlights to Tara’s hair then were there normally and how exactly those highlights could mesmerise her in her place for hours.



Nothing could ever be as perfect Willow realised as she plucked a small pink wildflower from amongst the grass and twirled it between her fingers. Stretching out her legs, the warmth of the sunlight spread over her skin as she sunned herself on the yellow and white chequered blanket.



She could hear Dawn giggling as she ran by somewhere behind, the Slayer’s sure footfalls chasing her as the Summers’ girls enjoyed a game among the tall redwoods. Though her attention was on Tara’s face as the Wicca turned her soft features into the warm breeze, Willow knew that the blonde was watched as Giles lined up for another bat as he attempted to teach Xander the finer points of bowling in Cricket. The soft swish as Anya pushed higher and higher on the rope swing nearby was probably the only sound that consistently broke the serenity of their picnic.



“La, la, la, la my lover’s hand in mine, la, la.” Tara sung sporadic lyrics from a fairly unrecognisable and yet beautifully melodic song as she gave a little twirl in the sunshine. Her head tilted backwards slightly exposing her throat and long neck to the sun’s rays as she twirled, her hair flowing out around her head in a golden arc.



Willow watched on grinning as her lover’s voice swayed through the air caressing her ears.



Gracefully Tara came to a stop and stood beaming at Willow, her long flowing dress taken a second or two to settle neatly down her legs.



“Happy sweetie?” She asked taking a ballet step towards the blanket.



“Ecstatic.” Willow grinned up at the tall blonde. “Do you want some lemonade after all that lovely dancing?”



“Mmmmm.” Tara made the small sound of contemplation, letting her tongue moisten sun kissed lips just slightly. “Yes please, its rather thirsty work.” She beamed another brilliant smile at her lover.



“You do it beautifully.” Willow giggled as she tucked the flower up behind her ear and reached into the large wicker basket to pull out a champagne flute and a large cold jug of lemonade. “It’s so beautiful here that it’s hard to ever think of anything bad happening isn’t it?” She began pouring the glass glancing up to smile at her lover.



“Bad?” Tara’s laughter filtered through the warm air like the sunlight itself. “Oh Willow, you’re so silly at times.”



As Willow got caught up in blue sparkling eyes she felt the lemonade spill over the edge and trickle down onto her hand. She cursed wordlessly at her mistake as her fingers slipped and the glass fell spilling over the blanket. Her eyes went instantly down to where the lemonade spill spread in as it soaked into the blanket, the once yellow liquid bleeding into a deep red as it melted into the fabric.



“Tara...” Willow put her hand down into the puddle pulling up her fingers to see thick crimson clinging to her fingertips. “Tara?” She reached up and wiped her hand across her shirt trying to get the sticky substance off her skin.



“Willow what have you done!” The cry came from somewhere behind the blonde as Xander and Giles threw themselves to the ground. The cricket ball they were playing with arching high into the air transforming as it spun into something more like a grenade. It plummeted earthward heading for the patch of grass beside Dawn and Buffy.



The Slayer threw herself forward in an attempt to cover and shield her little sister just as with a loud echoing boom the explosive hit the ground sending grass and mud flying up into the air.



“God No!” The scream came from Anya as the backlash from the explosion caught the ropes of her swing snapping them like string and sending the blonde crashing to the floor.



Willow looked on as in a chain reaction everything around her started to go horribly wrong.



“Will, please stop this!” Xander called to his friend as he pushed himself up onto his knees, blood stained his face from three jagged cuts running across it, the front of his shirt was ripped and stained with sweat and dirt.



“I... I...” Willow pushed up to stand from her spot trying to figure what she could do.



“Why Willow? Why are you hurting us, we’re not the enemy?” Anya sobbed as she crawled her way painfully across the ruined grass over to the fallen Watcher who as yet made no signs of life.



“I’m not doing anything.” Willow felt her eyes go hot with tears. “I just... I just...” She looked down at her blood stained hand.



“No, Dawnie, no.” Buffy’s voice could just be heard from the pit that now sat in the middle of the burnt field, her breaths turning into hard fast sobs. “I can’t loose you Dawnie, no…”



“Tara?” Willow looked suddenly to the blonde who hadn’t moved since all of this horror had begun.



Everything suddenly went from noisy and angry violence, to still calm serenity as the taller blonde slowly turned towards Willow but the instant that Tara truly faced her lover the time caught up again. There came a sharp cracking noise through the air and down on the picnic blanket one of the crystal champagne flutes shattered.



Willow felt her lip quivering as she locked eyes with Tara and saw her lover’s face fall.



A look of pure surprise and confusions filled Tara’s sunlit features, turning to one of unmasked pain as the Wiccan’s knees buckled just slightly.



“Your shirt...” Tara whispered as she fell towards the ground.

{Hugs} for Beth, sorry to hear the bad news.

[Beth Dragon]

Dawn had just emerged from the bathroom, still chomping on her toothbrush as she meandered back to her room for skin lotion humming along to the fairly loud music coming from Buffy and Tara’s exercise session in the living room. She had just reached up to push her door open when a blood-curdling scream rocked through the house.



Dawn felt her bare feet dig into the carpet as she turned and raced towards the sound of the screaming.



The teenager’s hurry was echoed a fraction of a second later by the unmistakable noise of the Slayer’s footsteps literally jumping up the stairs.



“It’s Willow.” Dawn stopped at the door to their room as she saw first Buffy and then a few steps behind a very out of breath Tara emerge into the hallway.



“I know.” Buffy was about to run in then she stopped and turned. “Oh God Tara sorry I didn’t think.” The Slayer moved to help the Wicca but Tara shook her head and motioned for Buffy to leave her and go straight to Willow.



“Open the door!” Dawn urged the motionless Slayer as she ran back to help Tara.



Buffy nodded mutely and threw the door open more or less sending it cracking off its hinges.



“Willow?” Buffy called the redhead’s name her voice full of confusion when she saw the bed lay empty. It was more or less stripped of its soft lavender bedclothes that were strewn down onto the carpet.



“Buffy where is she?” Dawn finally half-led and half-dragged Tara to the doorway as the blonde’s legs started to give on her.



“I don’t know.” Buffy threw a panicked glance in Dawn’s direction as she grabbed one of the displaced blankets and pulled it up in her hands, she threw it hard against the wall. “Willow.” Irrationally the Slayer ran to the window peering out of the closed glass panes.



“She has to be somewhere?” Dawn helped Tara in further and positioned her to ease down to sit on the bed.



“I know.” Buffy snapped her head round and glared at Dawn unintentionally harshly.



“I’m just saying.” Dawn made sure Tara was safely sitting before she dashed to check the closet, pulling herself through clothes to the very back. “She’s not in here!” She mumbled and tried to get back out only to find herself tied up in a sweater.



“Shush.” Tara suddenly made the request of everyone. “Please just shush.” She repeated her voice infinitely tender. Dawn stopped her battle with the interior of the closet and Buffy stopped at the window. “Listen.” She urged them all quietly her finger still hovering near her lips.



As the room finally went down to silence the soft sound of erratic deep breaths could be heard, though they were muffled. Tara could see Buffy’s slayer sense tuning into the noise just as her own ‘Willow’ sense did too. Silently the Slayer pointed to the bed and then motioned under it. Tara nodded not speaking yet either.



“How did she get under there?” Dawn whispered knowing that there wasn’t that much of a space between the bed frame and the floor. Both Buffy and Tara gave the teenager their best ‘no clue’ shrug. “How do we get her out?” She asked the next important question.



“Ah now that I do have a clue on.” Buffy moved forward. “If you’d just like to help Tara stand Dawn…” The Slayer took up a position at the foot of the bed, grasping the end board with both hands. Reluctantly Dawn moved over offering Tara her arms.



“No.” Tara looked up and smiled at Dawn shaking her head, she turned more on the bed and looked at Buffy. “That’s not the way, she has to get herself out.” She explained softly.



“Oh.” Buffy stopped her hands on the wood. “Should Dawn and I go downstairs?” She looked to the blonde for guidance.



“Maybe.” Tara thought for a moment and then looked up shaking her head again. “No.” She decided upon. “No, it’s important for us all to help her, not just me.” The Wicca said softly.



“What do we do then?” Dawn questioned worried.



“We assure her that it’s ok to come out.” Tara gently guided them. “Buffy, you’re better at me than getting down right now, see what you can do.” The blonde encouraged the Slayer.



Buffy nodded and moved over to the side of the bed getting down on her knees before she flipped up the bed skirt.



“Will, Will are you in there?” She questioned softly and only muffled sobbing answered her. “Willow, it’s just me. Dawn and Tara are here, we really want you to come out.” She tried again.



“Tara’s dead!” Willow sobbed back as she wedged herself into the very centre.



“Willow, she’s not dead. Remember? She came back to you, she came back to us.” Buffy leaned down further and slowly moved her hand under. “If you just come out Will you can see her for yourself, she’s up there sitting on the bed waiting for you.” She stopped her arm when she realized the vague shadow under the bed was edging away from her. “Willow please, you must be hurting yourself under there. Please come out.”



“Yeah Willow please.” Dawn’s voice joined Buffy’s as the teenager wiggled down next to her sister.



“See everyone wants you to come out. We have nice fruit salad for breakfast and the little cereal with marshmallows that you like.” Buffy tried to keep her voice soft and soothing.



“And you have to braid my hair for me. If you don’t do it I’ll have to go to school with bad hair.” Dawn encouraged gently.



From her place on the bed Tara closed her eyes for a moment letting the room around her fade away as she concentrated on her lover. Suddenly feelings of almost overwhelming claustrophobia pressed down upon her and a myriad of voices swirled around and around her head.



“Dawn, Buffy.” Tara instructed softly and Buffy’s head poked up over the edge of the mattress. “You need to back away.” She motioned back with her hand.



“Away?” Buffy looked for a moment and then nodded as she urged Dawn to move back with her.



“Willow, sweetie can you hear me?” Tara spoke in a loud, clear voice. The sniffling and sobbing seemed to get quieter for a moment as if the redhead was listening. “Buffy and Dawn weren’t lying to you, I’m not dead, no matter what you might see when you close your eyes.” She kept talking.



“I killed everyone.” Willow’s voice whined out as she admitted the content of her dream.



“It was just a dream sweetie.” Tara continued finding it hard to stay in her place and not rush down and offer solace to her lover. All of the feelings that were being show to her though underlined that Willow had to make the effort here, had to take this small step to break out of her cycle of pain. “Just a dream.” She underlined.



“I want it to be a dream.” Willow’s breathing was ragged. “But what if it’s not?”



“If its not, then you can punish me for lying to you… you can take away Mr. Muffleuffous.” Tara replied not sure indeed why she had quoted the name. It had just somehow pushed into her head.



The mere mention of the name made the sobbing stop and a slight scuffling could be heard as the redhead moved a bit closer to the edge.



“How do you know about Mr. Muffleuffous?” Willow’s hand emerged around the edge.



“I know because you bought him for me.” Tara replied as her memory helpfully filled in a small gap. She moved her hand down so that it rested ever so close to Willow’s. “At the little stall at the Sunday market and you had to pay extra for all the letters cause they embroidered his name on his little shirt.”



“Tara?” Willow’s head poked out a little, her eyes puffy and red from crying.



“Though do not expect me to explain why we called him that in front of Dawnie.” Tara said as she looked down at her lover tenderly. “Hey sweetie.” She added meeting wet green eyes.



“Hey I’m not that naive.” Dawn huffed from her place by the wall.



“You should be.” Buffy hissed under her breath.



“Baby, you’re still alive?” Willow whispered and pulled reluctantly out a bit further.



“A little more alive every minute I spend with you.” Tara nodded softly as she spoke and slipped her hand down into Willow’s.



“Oh like you can talk!” Dawn turned and poked her sister in the arm.



“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Buffy turned to glare at the brunette.



“All I have to say is Angel.” Dawn poked her again.



“That was so different.” Buffy hissed and rubbed her arm.



“Oh it’s always different when it comes to you.” Dawn rolled her eyes looking over to Tara for support when she stopped. “Ahhh.” She smiled when she saw Willow was now fully out from under the bed and hugging onto Tara. Buffy followed Dawn’s eyes and breathed out softly as she too saw the girls embraced together with Tara rocking Willow gently.



“Lets go and get breakfast shrimp.” She motioned to the door with her head.



“I am so taller than you.” Dawn pushed up sticking out her tongue at her sister as she happily moved to the door.

Awwwww - those were so sweet - hey, I got the first reply! Yay! I'll have to be quick then cos otherwise someone else will reply faster.



I loved how Tara realised that Willow needed to come out by herself. Also, the conversation between Dawn and Buffy is so funny. It's like that in our house - my sister and I always fighting over something and then reverting to 'I'm older than you!' or 'I'm taller than you'.



Beth, I am so sorry about your pets *runs over to Beth and hugs her*. It's always hard when that happens, and unfortunately there isn't much we can say to make it better. But we love you if that helps (Kath especially!)

Edited because I didn't get the first reply, Grimaldi did. Darn. I'm sulking, and you two will have to update again real soon so that I can get the first reply that time.

Oh what a start, poor Willow, this has to be a nightmare but so many issues for her, not only Tara coming back but the guilt.

Beth, I'm sorry to hear about your kitties. I know it can be hard to lose them. I have a mini farm here at my house myself, and it's always hard. **Hugs to you**



Poor Willow. I feel so bad for her. The guilt that she's feeling for all that she's done and just her saddness in general. I'm glad Tara is there for her though, to help through all of this. I hope she'll be okay. I know there is probably alot more angst to come, but with you two, I know they'll be okay. I just wanna give Will a hug.



Thanks ladies, for the updates. Can't wait for more.

Willow: I can't do this.

Tara: We can do this.
