**TX: Heh ... I knew you would *G* And yes, you're kooky, but in a good way. Y'see, it's like this ... I debated with myself over which one to use ...I decided on "girlfriend" because in this particular AU (because ALL the vignette's are AU's), Tara totally knocked Willow up. Accidentally. The ceremony will be held in a few months after the vignette. Okay? ;)



**Blue77: Heh ... Willow loved that, too *G* But thank you ... I'm really glad you liked them *G*



**LeatherQueen: I came >so< close to calling this vignette "Dawn's Shiny Hair" - but I decided against it. And this one loved you, too *G*



**The Rose24: Why, thank you *G* And I shall endeavor to keep churning these things out *G*

"Oh, yes," Willow nodded, her face composed and serious. "I think I definitely need some hair-actualizing comfort-sex. Like, right now," she said solemnly.



Aaah! Gives new meaning to Just Been Fucked Hair!



Pregnant Willow, I definitely like! :)

Sadly the bastards hurt her for being good. Oopsie. Bitter moment. Sorry. I've always loved that scene you ended with here. And I like the visual of Willow cutting through the darkness with beams of light because that's what we saw visually as well and it works metaphorically

Wow Sass...



I have actually seen a Tara thought fic about the brainsuck before but this was really good - completely different to that. And sad? Well they always find each other...



Part 14... wow you really take remarks and run with them. Tell me if you actually had that in place

before the offhand comments?



And if not... pregnant Willow possibly the only way to actually get that Dawn hair jealousy in there! Extreme reasoning...



Great

Pretty much lost it with Dawn's shinny hair. Love these last two, a nice balance of pain and angst to go with some funny stuff.

**kpmuse: LOL ... Okay, the JBF hair thing didn't occur to me *G* Thank you *G*



**W.I.: Heh ... I guess everyone figures Hot Tara Lovin' results in pregnancy *shrug* Besides - as all the vignettes are AU's that are generally not connected, I figure I can get Tara pregnant later ;)



**Autumn: Heh ... you're right, though - and dammit, I'm bitter, too *sigh* But thank you ... I have to admit I always kind of wondered what it 'looked' like for Tara when Willow rescued her.



**VampNo12: Oh, yeah ... Tara's father? >SO< not nice. And the bugs creeped me out, too - that's why they were in there. And thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed Dawn's shiny hair, Tara's essential love for Willow, and the "hair-actualizing comfort-sex". But be careful ... when you laugh at the "hair-actualizing comfort-sex", you hurt its feelings, making it less likely it will ever visit you *G*



**Katharyn: Heh ... the actual request for #13 involved what was going on in Tara's brain pre 'The Gift' ... so, yeah, sad ... which is why I HAD to include the bit where Willow saves her. It would have depressed me, otherwise. And actually, no, I didn't have that done, or even imagined, before the offhand comments. I was just being silly on that other thread, you made a comment, and I said to myself ... "Huh." And then I ran with it *G* And yes, I figured you'd need to have a preggers Will to have that kind of "Dawn's Shiny Hair" angst.



**Thanatopsis: Heh ... thank you. Though, as it's a joke that's been running rampant around the board since I signed up, I certainly can't take credit for it *G* But thanks again - I am glad you liked them.



**Autumn: Are you saying there's a connection between shiny, whiny, and Dawn?

It's funny, I am bomarded with fics today with W/T having or going to have a kid. *sigh* and I don't even usually like them that much! (Not sure why though as it is all W/T happiness)

loved both new vignettes, even though #13 was tough to read because of the subject matter. Too bad Donnie and Tara's father couldn't experience what she had to go through.



#14 definitely cheered me up, Willow being jealous of Dawn's shiny hair and saying that she needed hair-actualizing comfort-sex cracked me up :grin

Oh my god, they killed... oh, nevermind!

Postby KathleenWolf » Sun Jun 02, 2002 1:13 pm

very interesting the last two... the first one was brilliant in its complete caputuring of such a horrible state and Tara being saved from it...



i have to admit reading first that one then the second... the set up with Willow being touchy and then crying and buffy running away made me wonder what the set up was for that AU... so the pregancy was a pleasant surprise...



thanks for the wonderful snapshots

**Katharyn: Heh ... sorry about that - I certainly didn't >mean< to shove things into your fic *G* Now I feel bad about giving you extra work ;) But yeah, a preggers W/T is ... well, it's like, you can view it as totally destroying the "just them" dynamic, or you can view it as another touch of permanency and forever in their relationship. Both or perfectly valid viewpoints, but either one kind of colors a readers reaction to reading about them having kids, y'know? Personally, I can take or leave the whole W/T procreating thing. On one level, I think they'd be great moms and have adorable kids, but on another, I could see them not feeling like they needed to and/or being reluctant to bring a child into their hectic Hellmouth lives. *shrug*



**Grimaldi: Heh ... I'd love to have Donny and her father get a big ol' smackdown from ... well, anyone or anywhere, actually *G* But I'm glad you liked them, and I'm >very< glad #14 got some laughs *G*



**KathleenWolf: Oh, you're welcome ... I'm glad you liked them. I have to admit, I was thinking about the pitfalls of not explaining the pregnancy to the reader in #14 after the angst of #13 ... it definitely occurred to me that it could be worrisome. I'm glad the pregnancy was a pleasant surprise - because it was supposed to be *G*



**BabyJune: ROFL ... I'm reasonably sure Willow won't loan out Tara no matter how Not Shiny your hair is. *G* But that was a >great< try ;)

Sass, that was like the Ying and Yang of double posts! Loved 'em both.



#13 certainly was angsty but the ending was a worthy pay-off.



And #14 was so funny - my best friend is pregnant at the moment so it was particularly relevant to my life right now :)



And you were spot on with the whole mood swings thing. I'm constantly trying to work out whether or not joking will help.



Unfortunately I don't usually get the reaction Tara did.



Oh no, wait, now that came out all wrong! I meant with the general cheering up-ness, not the other stuff.



Shutting up now.

Sigh, I am so into the idea of them being a family raising a child. I just loved #14. I understand Willow, it's not easy loving Willow, but it's worth it. And Tara is a saint but there is no one else for one another. And #13, god that is so sad. That is a great idea, no matter who came up with it. I admit, I tried not to think to hard about what Tara was going through during that ordeal. That was horrible, but Willow got her out, sigh.

Well. I've never seen pregnant Willow before. Pregnant Tara, not Willow. But since the poll pointed to Tara on Top, then I guess that makes sense.

And Vignette 13... you are a master of atmosphere. And since that word reminds me of physics class, I am going to call it:

3. (n.) A subtle quality underlying a situation or action:

• undertone

• hint

• implication

• intimation

• suggestion

• undercurrent

• feeling

• sense

• quality

• mood

• aura

I'm also going to be lazy and only post one thesaurus definition for the two. Because finals are evil.

Great updates there, Sass. You wrote #13 so well. I was reading it with a whimper saying, "oh Tara, it's gonna get better."

I was cracking up with Dawn's shiny hair. I wasn't sure at first but once "the 'p' word" was brought up, and with her legs going all wobbly, I understood why she was all emotional with Dawny's hair.. :lol Oh, a pregnant Willow...*cute*

Just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your updates. The "Uncomfortable Chair" one was scary. :cry Poor Tara. YAY for Willow rescuing her though. And a pregnant Willow... AWWWW!!! That was very cute. :D I love reading the fics with our girls expecting or having little one's running around. I hope you write more on that one later.



More soon? :)

Due to a recent illness, I completely missed 13 and just now got to 14.



13: Wow! I've never seen that perspective before -- I must admit it was disturbing, but it a way that was completely true to Tara's insecurities.



14: Okay, I gotta say this -- I love pregnant Willow. Most fics have Tara knocked up ... it's great to see how the hormones rage through our favorite redhead.

**wiccachica: *cough* A rain dance mixed with a little Paula Abdul boogey down? Oh my. *blink blink* That's, ummm ... Heh. *G* Anyway, I'm afraid I've been a bit under the weather ... but I'm feeling better, so regular posted vignettes should resume tonight.



**Kieli: LOL ... yeah, once a month I avoid talking to anyone, and I avoid commercials and the radio. And, umm ... sorry about the reminder of the recurring nightmare ... that's never fun.



**Owl: *shrug* Well, y'know ... there I was, making a joke about shiny hair, Katharyn says to make it a vignette ... how could I possibly refuse? *G* And thank you ... I'm glad you liked them.



**BoredNow99: Heh ... thank you *G* And the general cheering-upness ... right ;)



**xita: That's actually why fanfiction is such a joyoys thing for me ... I waffle on the baby idea. Sometimes I think "Yay!" sometimes I think "Eh." But thank all that is wonderful and right in the world for fanfic, because either way, someone, somewhere, has written it *G* And yeah ... thinking about what exactly was going on in Tara's head wasn't the most pleasant thing, but it was certainly interesting from a writing standpoint. And of course, I had to end it with Tara getting out ... there was just no way I was going to leave her in there.



**blameburner: ROFL .... Willow squared on steroids over a loudspeaker. Just felt like saying that, because it bears repeating. Sorry about the keyboard, but I'm glad you liked it.



**Bookcat: Yes, finals are very evil. And it's certainly acceptable to only post one thesaurus whatchamawhoooosit. And thank you - #13 was interesting to write because the subject was so unpleasant. Which, of course, probably means I'm very sick in the head *G*



**witchbitchwillow: I hope you had a good holiday - glad you liked them *G*



**IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous: Awww, shucks *G* Thank you!



**oneinten: Ummm, well ... I put on my little hat with the propeller on it, I stand outside, and if it's windy, I just wait until my propeller spins enough that an idea just pops into my brain. If it's not windy, then I run REALLY fast. But thank you *G*



**tkheaven: Well, shiny hair can be very upsetting. But yeah ... I had to really stop myself from toning down #13 ... well, from toning it down more than I already had by the time it was in the version that got posted.



**Jennpurr: Why, thank you - I'm really glad you like them - and yeah, I'll probably do more "what to expect when you're expecting" stuff *G* It'll probably all be AU, though ... the only vignette that really has a connected sequel is the Lil' Tara Lil Willow/Rose one ... and I'll probably do more of those, but other than that, they'll likely all stay unrelated.



**WebWarlock: Heh ... thank you *G* And no worries about not reading each one as its posted ... it makes a lot of sense to me to let a bunch of them pile up, then read them all at once because they're so short.



**DarkWiccan: Exactly ... I mean, Willow's got a lot going on upstairs, and she feels things very deeply, but c'mon? Shiny Hait Trauma? Had to be preggers. Haven't had a chance to read your fic yet, but it's on my list of "go read".



**jdcioffi: Heh ... glad you liked them *G* Part of the fun of the vignette series is doing things from odd angles (not in a prison way, people - get your minds out of the gutters, please ;) ). I'm reasonably sure I'm not going to come up with anything that no one has ever thought of before, but I'm certainly going to try *G* Road less traveled, blah blah blah *G* And yeah - I'll have fifteen later tonight, probably.
