Fic: Vignette Series

[Sassette]

I am SO tempted to never EVER explain the parachute thing and let everyone just kind of ... wonder ... but - I'm just not feeling that evil.



So, to clear things up: parachutes. To the best of my knowledge, there is no naughty application of parachutes that doesn't involve extreme sports, adrenalin junkies, and severe wind burn. Willow was sort of ... trying to come up with something naughty, and parachutes just sort of popped into her brain, and that's what she said. So - nothing naughty there ... there is, in fact, no "in-joke" to get the "parachutes" reference ... because it's not a reference ... just something totally and completely random.



**tommo: LOL ... Heh, yeah ... Willow backtracking is a beautiful thing to behold. And you want me writing some fic? Gosh, whatever kind?



**LeatherQueen: Thank you *G* And yeah, that's pretty much exactly how I pictured it.



**BoredNow99: Bless her cotton socks? Okay, that's a new one *G* And thank you *G*



**Jennpurr: #23? But I just finished 22! Heh ... I'll get to it as soon as I can *G*



**Puff: HeeHee ... sorry the parachute thing confused you *G* It, umm ... it kind of confused me, too. And Tara.



**areslei: Oh, God ... people keep talking about it, and I'm having these bizarre visions of the Scoobs meet The Godfather in this twisted sort of ... urgle. This hurts my brain *G*



**SlayerTazz: You're very welcome - and thanks, I'm glad you liked it *G* And yes ... Willow pretty much IS the green-eyed monster as far as Tara is concerned. Wrong on some levels, impossibly endearing on others. Heh *G*



**Bookcat: Have fun doing whatever it is you'll be doing for four weeks ... and thank you for yet another thesaurus entry *G* But I'm still not God ... it's more than a little intimidating to be listed off with AB, AH and chocolate ice cream, y'know? But I do appreciate the sentiment *G*



**TheRose24: Heh ... thanks! *G*



**VampNo12: Thank you ... and the poor clueless football guy was kind of fun ... that whole thing let me mess with Willow *G* Gosh, is that wrong? Am I a bad person? *G*



**NewRuthRising: LOL ... thanks *G* Ummm ... have fun, umm ... going away, or, uhh ... whatever it is you're doing *G*



**Miss1234Kitty: Oh, yeah ... Buffy would SO beat someone up for Tara. *shrug* But I wasn't sure when, exactly, this vignette took place, as it mostly doesn't matter. Ummm ... have fun with the, uhh ... reference material.



**Grimaldi: Heh ... yeah, that image was fun *G* I just may do something with it someday ... but, maybe not *shrug*



**Murasaki S: Oh, yeah ... large with the butch Willow is ten tons of fun ... especially when it's over Tara *G* Glad you liked it *G*



**xita: Tara is >definitely< too nice about this kind of thing ... but I think it's partly from just being way too nice, and partly being at a total loss as to what, exactly, to say or do in that situation. And while writing them fighting is kind of fun, I really like the part where they skip it and get to the kising *G*



**tiredsoul: Heh ... glad you liked it *G* As for the football player's reaction ... the school newspaper's best photographer happened to be walking by, and snapped photos of both the W/T kissage AND the crowd reactions. They made the third page, and sparked a series of editorials regarding PDA's on campus.

I didn't mean right away, Sass. I just meant, whenever you get around to it, I will be happily reading it. Can't wait. You never disappoint.



Thanks for explaining the parachute thing. I didn't THINK there was anything naughty behind it, but I wasn't sure.



Take care, Sass,

Great vignette! I loved that Willow told Tara (ruefully) that people are always looking. And I loved the way Willow kept misunderstanding Tara slightly. BTW, how DO you come up with the ideas for these? They are so perfect.

Sass, living in my little English bubble I forgot you people across the pond may never have heard the saying "bless her cotton socks".



Forgive me and allow me to explain. It is usually prefixed with an "aw" and refers to someone who is, or who has done something, quintessentially cute or adorable.



If it's ultra cute or adorable you can say "bless her little cotton socks".



I don't know where its origins lie but I think it may have something to do with babies.



And there endeth the lesson in English sayings

*chuckle* It's ever so wonderful to see another vignette from you, Sass. It's like seeing a long lost friend again and always brings a smile.

Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea then lays you on the beach again. Today's struggling pain is the foundation for a certain stride through the heavens. You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone."--Amy Tan "The Hundred Secret Senses"

[TrueXena]

OMG! I go away for a week and you go an update! Too funny. Gotta love the clueless in life dont ya? And I agree, Tara is way too nice to a fault. But I still love her, and Willow is just too funny with her little green monster popping up.



Loved the update Sass, great job. Love ya.

[MOUSE]

Sass does it again. Brilliant! That seems to be the theme going around here. Well, very perceptive aren't we.



As I've said before, love the jaw drop stuff. I've always felt someone else having interest in the person you have chosen for a partner is a big complement to oneself. It sort of endorses your choice. Maybe that's the naive way of thinking about it, but hey, I like to be positive. And the green eyed monster can sometimes come out really ugly.

But I love the way you have handled it Sass. As always plenty of love and warmth.

And the guy catching them kissing. Well I was hoping that was where you were headed. Poor thing. NOT!

[miss calendar]

Hi Sassette,

I'm reading through your vignette series at the moment and had to post, I'm so excited by your wonderful writing. I'm loving the vignettes themselves ( they're touching, original, funny, full of heart-warming Willow and Tara goodness ) but what makes them so special is the quality of the writing.



I've read a lot of well-written, interesting and enjoyable stories but when someone really uses the form well, as you do, it's something else entirely. I've always had a particular love of short stories, especially short, short stories and vignettes, just as I've always loved Japanese and Chinese watercolours. Something about how an economy of expression can be used to express so much more than is shown and how something apparently simple can touch on the essence of what is portrayed while hinting at hidden truths. That kind of simplicity takes clarity of vision and a lot of skill; I think your writing in these vignettes has this quality.



I worked for many years as a classical musician and it was always much harder to perform composers like Bach and Mozart than many other composers whose music might be far more technically demanding. That's partly because their music has such clarity of line, such balanced structure and perfect use of form. How you play every phrase is important, the start, middle and end of each note matters, you can't get away with anything ( unlike say a Mahler symphony or Wagner opera where you can get away with murder...). In the same way it seems to me that in a novel or epic poem you can get away with weak sections and mediocre lines whereas in a haiku or vignette every word counts and anything out of place or below standard can ruin the whole thing.



Which I guess is me trying to say that I think you are a very gifted short story writer, using the form with consummate skill. I was going to include feedback on the first few but seem to have got carried away with more general rambling. I'll post belated feedback on specific vignettes over the next little while if that's okay. Meanwhile I'll just say thanks for some beautifully written vignettes.

[Sassette]

**Jennpurr: Heh ... fair enough. And I'll write one as soon as I can, but I expect that won't be until about Monday or so *G*



**Tulipp: Gosh, thanks. As for the ideas ... well, y'see ... for this one, I was sitting in front of a computer, and Tara said something about beans, and then there were socks, and I was thinking to myself, "What the heck IS this?" And then I kept writing, and there was a football player, and looking, and a misunderstanding, and it just kind of goes. Basically, I either have a concept that I follow, or I come up with some bizarrely random line, and kind of see what happens.



**Autumn: I'm never gonna' live down the arm thing, am I? *G* Just for the record, I >so< had to have that explained to me when I first heard the story. And I have no idea where the beans in a sock came from. None whatsoever.



**BoredNow99: Okay, now THAT'S cool, and I'm going to find myself running around blessing cotton socks. *G*



**Kieli: Gosh, thanks *G* And it's really good to write them - I certainly feel like I'm visiting old friends when I do.



**bzengo: Chocolate Beans *G* Because, y'know, it's all about the beans *G* And thank you!



**TX: Well, when you're gone for a whole week, I darn well HOPE I have an update done in SOMETHING when you get back - otherwise, I'm slacking. Love ya, too *G*



**MOUSE: Thanks - I had no idea this vignette was going to address that issue when I started writing it, and I'm really pretty happy with how it turned out. I certainly don't see anyone ever coming between them, but I can also see a little tension arising if Tara were put in this situation she honestly has no idea how to handle.



**mollyig: Oh, yeah - did he ever *G* And, umm... so did the rest of the people milling about the quad.



**tkheaven: Heh ... I've >so< been spending way too much time thinking about Willow as the cutest little mafia don ever, with the fashion-conscious enforcer and the goofy carpenter who runs the legitimate construction company she uses to launder money.



**Karzia: Wahoo! I like the BUTWTA *G* And I'll write more as soon as I can *G*



**miss calendar: Gosh, thank you *G* That's certainly high praise, and absolutely wonderful to hear - I love writing the vignettes, and more than anything, I just hope it shows that I love what I'm doing, y'know? *G* Anyway, I'd love to hear anything you have to say about the specific vignettes themselves - so post away *G*

[miss calendar]

Well you said you'd like feedback......



#1. Vignettes



Very clever the way you were able to use this first vignette to explore the whole idea of vignettes and set the scene for the series. I liked how you kept the vignette discussion so in character. The dialogue was great, I could really imagine Willow and Tara having this conversation. I also liked how quickly the banter turned to flirting and imminent sex! What I absolutely loved was how through recounting a snippet of silly dinner converstion you were able to convey so much about Willow and Tara's relationship. Here are two women who enjoy each others company, who are totally at ease with each other and share a playful sense of humour. There's affection and friendship and sexual desire and a deep abiding love. So nice to see their love being expressed in such a mundane, everyday context yet still shining through.





#2. Tara Kissage



With a title and subject like this, what's not to like?

First kiss, sigh...........

I really liked how even though the story was told from Willow's point of view you showed how tentative and anxious both girls were. Liked all the little misunderstandings that arose because each was trying to second guess what the other might be thinking and feeling.You really gave a sense of how strong the attraction was between them yet the conflict between wanting to act on it and being scared of frightening each other away.



Actually, I've been surprised to find similar anxieties coming up recently on finding myself falling for someone new, even though I've been out for years and I know the woman that I like has had previous relationships with women. I guess even though it's heightened when, like Willow and Tara, you don't know each other's sexual preference, that ' I'm- so- in- love, please- don't- let- me- blow- it ' feeling is universal. That's another thing I like about the vignette, it's so specific to Willow and Tara and at the same time speaks to everyone's experience.



I also liked how, even though it features shy Tara, you show she still has that inner core of strength and courage. She knows what she feels, she knows what she wants. She may be nervous Tara but she is also frank Tara, willing to take risks for her love. This really came through at the end, after the kiss when Willow panics and says,



''I pushed you into this. I'm all pushy and mean and I'm a bad person, and ''



''Oh, no,'' Tara said emphatically, shaking her head. ''No, uhh...you didn't...umm push....I wanted to, um...''



'' Kiss me? ''



''A-and , um....I'm not, uh.....worried about you ,umm trying something? I, uhh...didn't want? Because, ummm... I, uhh, didn't think you , um, could.''



Only Tara can be so tentative and bold at the same time. You write them so in character and make them so adorable, sigh...

Thanks for a lovely, lovely vignette.

[Sassette]

**Autumn: I think I'd rather have a truck following me around than ... an arm. That's just ... an eerie image, y'know?



**miss calendar: "Vignettes" Thank you *G* The vignette series is one of the few things of mine I've ever actually gone back and read, because they're quick, but mostly because I look back and kind of go, "I wrote that?" I have to admit, I adore writing W/T dialogue. All the Scoobies, really, are fun to write dialogue for, but W/T dialogue is just about my favorite thing ever. "Tara Kissage" *G* Gosh, thanks. One of the things that's been mentioned previously is how I write them in different seasons ... I think it's because I missed a lot of season four and five the first time it aired, and watched a lot of those earlier episodes pretty much concurrently with later ones - it makes it easier to see what stages of development the characters are at when ... like, it didn't happen in this gradual linear way, but happened all at the same time for me. That, more than anything, had me seeing things like the core of strength Tara already had - because I knew it was there in later seasons, I was looking for it in earlier. And thanks again - I'm loving the feedback *G*

Top of the World
Part 23 of the Vignettes Series
by Sassette

Tara kept her eyes shut tight, her little face scrunched up under her aviator goggles, as if she was afraid that if she relaxed, her eyes would pop open without her permission. Her knuckles were white where she gripped the edge of her seat and her breathing was labored.

"Tara?" Rose asked uncertainly, glancing sidelong at her friend.

"Y-yes?" Tara asked.

"We haven't even taken off yet," Rose said reasonably.

"We, umm ... we haven't?" Tara asked, her posture relaxing slightly.

"Nope," Rose said, covering one of Tara's hands with her own. "So go ahead and open your eyes," she urged.

"But, I, ummm... I don't want to see the take-off, either," Tara said softly, figuring Rose wouldn't be able to hear her over the buzzing of the helicopter.

"Just open your eyes," Rose said, and Tara could >hear< the smile in her voice. "I promise it'll be okay, and that we're perfectly safe, or we could just skip it and go play something else, like maybe go run along the river or climb some trees, or maybe go to that pond you're always talking about, as long as it doesn't have any frogs, 'cuz I hate frogs, and I don't want to be anywhere where there are frogs, because they're all hoppy and wrong. Besides, are they a land animal that likes water, or a water animal that likes land? I can't decide, and I bet the frogs can't decide either, because they're secretly trying to take over the whole world, water AND land, and so they want to be equally comfortable on both, and that's the only logical explanation."

As Rose rambled on, Tara found herself relaxing further and further, her shoulders dropping away from her ears, and her fingers releasing their deathgrip on the sides of her seat. Finally, her features composed themselves and one eye cautiously opened.

"Oh, Gosh!" she breathed, her eyes popping open completely.

"Do you like it?" Rose asked, turning to look at Tara, a wide grin splitting her face as she laughed at the goggle-eyed expression on Tara's face.

"I ... I ..." Tara began, finding she had no words. Rose, apparently, had lied to her, but Tara didn't mind. She was being a 'fraidy cat, and Rose just helped her open her eyes - had helped her open her eyes to the beauty and wonder all around her.

They were up in the air, way up high, and Tara looked around, a delighted laugh escaping her. She could see the teeny tiny willow tree where she and rose had met, and the great green meadow where they had taken off, and a little ways in the distance, a sea of sunflowers waving merrily at her.

Grinning, she leaned against her safety belt and waved back, shouting a 'Hello!' to the sunflowers who seemed to bend and wave like the ocean, turning their faces towards her as if she, herself, was the sun.

"Oh, Rose ... it's beautiful," Tara said, turning to look at her friend, their matching grins spreading impossibly wider across their faces. The helicopter hovered, buzzing gently, and Rose expertly turned it in a slow and complete circle, so Tara could see everything all around.

Mountains she hadn't known existed looked so small in the distance, like a bunch of anthills all pressed together, and a deep dark forest stretched endlessly to the horizon. Everywhere she looked, she saw something new and exciting - something she hadn't know was there - and it all surrounded the bits of land that were as familiar to her as her own face.

"You ready?" Rose asked, her eyes twinkling impishly behind her goggles.

"Ready?" Tara asked. "Ready for what?"

"For this. Hold on," Rose said with a little smirk. With that, the helicopter zoomed off, and Tara laughed as the wind tickled her, whispering to her and confirming that she was safe there, in the helicopter with Rose.

They flew high and fast, buzzing around wherever their delight took them, feeling very much on top of the world.

Ah that was so cute. I love Rose and Tara and the babble about frogs was just brilliant. Thank you Sass

#3 Dreams of Roses



This was so unexpected and so touching. I loved little Tara and little Willow and seeing how even as young girls that loving connection is already there and they manage to find each other in dreams if not 'real' life. I liked the slightly surreal feel of this vignette and how visual it is. Such a nice idea, them being dream buddies, beats having an imaginary friend. It also ties in with the idea that wherever they are in time and space they are still meant to be together.



Some random thoughts from reading the vignette.....



I liked Tara amongst the sunflowers, seemed an apt choice of flower, there's something about the way Tara's face lights up when she smiles that reminds me of an open sunflower. ( and maybe Willow's the sun she turns toward and follows.)



Also liked Tara naming Willow. The giving of names is a serious matter and who better to give un-named Willow her first name. And it made me think of them floating the rose together at the beginning of their adult friendship. I don't know anything about what roses traditionally symbolize but it's got to have something to do with love so it was a true name even if not Willow's real name.



Interesting that Tara asked if Willow was a faerie and Willow asked if Tara was an angel. As if they immediately recognise essential qualities in each other. After all faeries may be magical,delightful beings but they are also mischievous and can have a very dark side. And Tara does have a purity and spiritual quality as if she's somehow in touch with the divine. Aren't angels supposed to be messengers of God?





So sweet that young Willow is already babbling. I especially liked her babble trying to decide if she is in fact lost.



''Are you lost'' Tara asked suddenly, fearing Rose would leave soon.

'' Lost? '' ........''Oh a little, '' she said. '' I mean, I know how I got here, and where I am, but I'm not sure how to get back, so I guess I'm lost. Or is lost when you don't know where you are, because I know that - I'm sitting in the roses under the willow tree, but my magic helicopter is on the other side of the river and I don't remember the way back. ''



Thinking how well you captured the Willow style of babbling I found myself reflecting that her babble is never aimless. It's as if her words just follow her mind jumping from thought to intriguing thought, in a stream of consciousness babble.



The passage I quoted also made me think that being lost and found was an underlying theme of the vignette just as it will be a recurring theme in their later relationship. Finding each other, helping each other find their way home- it was all there. Until they found each other they were both lost. I know that it was Tara who was all alone and searching for a friend but what was Willow doing in her magic helicopter if not searching for Tara to be her ' bestest girl type friend' ? And you did show how once they'd pledged their friendship the weeping willow tree was transformed as ' the wind blew, making the branches of the willow tree wave merrily, and driving away the sense of loneliness from this place. '



Some of the dynamics and interactions seen later in their relationship seemed foreshadowed here. For instance Tara finding it so hard to believe Willow would choose her as a friend, her expectation of rejection and her grief when she thought Willow had another friend and didn't want or need her. Then her initial confusion, not quite comprehending that Willow has chosen her. I couldn't help thinking of the end of NMR when I read the closing dialogue, there are so many parallels.



'' Oh you umm you have a friend?'' Tara asked, her heart sinking lower until she felt like she wanted to cry. Rose already had a friend. Rose didn't need her at all.

'' What's her name?''

''Tara'' Rose said, her grin growing broader.

'' There's another girl here named Tara? '' Tara asked, her eyes growing wide.

''No, I mean you doofus, ''



then



'' I'm...I'm your friend '' Tara asked slowly, her face lighting up as a smile crept across it, her eyes widening further.

''you do want to be my friend, don't you?'' Rose added, a worried look crossing her face.

'' Oh yes.'' Tara said, beaming at the other girl.





I really loved this vignette, it was sweet and painful and funny and moving and very heartwarming. I totally fell in love with young Tara and Willow. And I want a magic helicopter!



Just one question, was Tara the dreamer or the dreamed?







#4 Morning



At the risk of being repetitive, I really loved this vignette.......



Interesting that it was mostly set in the garden, one of the things I particularly like is the sense of Willow and Tara living together in an established yet growing relationship. It was good seeing the ways their relationship has developed; there's now a feeling of stability, that there is something solid and permanent being created. You feel the relationship has been well tended and is continually growing. Willow and Tara also seem more grounded as individuals and more rooted and secure as a couple. There is still playfulness, flirting and passion but we get to see how they've found ways to make their relationship work on a daily basis over a substantial period of time.



Loved the description of Willow's reaction when she sees Tara in the garden and the way she tucks the image into her heart. I liked the idea of Tara as a painter and Willow's dilemmna about interrupting her because she recognises the garden as a living piece of art that Tara has created. I also liked that you showed how Willow's creativity is expressed in her work with computers. Good to see that they are able to give each other space to pursue their individual paths within their shared journey, that they respect and honour whatever is important to the other.



' It was funny, really how alike they were, yet so different at the same time. Willow would lose herself in lines of code, the almost arcane syntax pulling her in, just as Tara lost herself in lines and curves and colors. These things were sacrosanct, and shared only to the point where each appreciated the others gift in their chosen life's work.'



I found this very moving and then the word 'sacrosanct'......

It made me think that, perhaps above all, you showed that Willow and Tara have made something sacred out of their love, and that this is as integral to their relationship as muffins and smoochies.

just saw this new vignette. So pleased to see Tara off having adventures with Willow in the magic helicopter. They really are adorable......

And, ok, Sass, an A+ for cuteness, but the visuals, oh God the visuals that came to mind at the wet t-shirt contest!! When I stopped laughing enough time to actually breath I just started chocking again on the account my imagination working hyper. Good God! And I just adored the drunken boobie dialog.
