Au Fic: Film noir style: RED ACE: REVISED AND FINISHED

I have something to confess though this update was supposed to have more of the actual story line, You know the bad guys, the suspense, but I got stuck and side tracked so my answer to that is pretty much...uhm...well...smut! I'm such a bad writer

---

You're more than forgiven, nika And bite your tongue! You are not a bad writer. Willow and Tara needed that. Not to mention us kittens! Willow and Tara are the storyline.



And I'm on the same page as TheRose24 and Sabina - I know there's heartbreak lurking somewhere I've been having those dreadful thoughts for a while now. But just as Willow explained to Tara, she knew what she was getting into and still got involved and it's all because of Tara. I wonder what Tara knows if anything. I especially wonder if she's holding anything back, and if that something will eventually be the cause of the heartbreak. Will she be able to kiss away the tears as Willow just did for her?



Otherwise, this update deserves a and definitely a

As always . I love how you wrtie Willow and Tara's love and have captured them perfectly even in such an AU world. I have the feeling that Tara is caught between a rock and a hard place being forced to get close to Willow to use then but then falling in love though it's more complex than that given that Tara knew Willow the minute that she saw her. can't wait to see how it all shakes out!!!

Well, nika, if being such a bad writer is wrong then I don't want you to be right.

Okay, I love Film Noir, and I am totally in love with this fic. I just sat down and read it straight from the beginning and I am totally hooked. So you've got one more who will be begging you for updates.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

Replies



The rose: Glad to be back darling. And I’m so sorry, but you are right, I think Willow should book a room at ‘heart break hotel’ right about now.



Sabina: I’m happy to see words like ‘loving’ it brings a smile to my face. Also it makes my day that I made your day (that sounded like a psycho-peppy camp counselor reply, didn’t it?) but seriously, I love getting new replies. That just makes MY day. Thank you.



Sj: Thank you for ‘falling’ for my fic, just don’t hurt yourself o.k?



Washi: I love it when I get a girl bowing down to me for any reason (bats eyelashes and flirts shamelessly.)



2Diamonds: Can’t bite my tongue. I sorta need it for…you know…stuff.



Sam: Love is a complex thing that kicks you in the shins when you least expect it and I got the bruised ankles to prove it.



Fuzz: Howdy! You say ‘heavenly hot’ and I say ‘hellishly cool’ but no worries, cause we’re both right. Oh and don’t worry I’ve never been quite “right’ in all of my life, I’m not going to start now.



Bww: On your knees again Blue? You sure like that position. Hey, my kinda gal!



Tempest: Another begging on bended knees? What shall I do? So many ‘prayers’ to answer and so little time. ( nika runs out to buy a daily planner with a gleeful look in her eyes.)

Great cliffhanger

Wonder what Tara is upto?

Nice thing about noir is the many plot twists.

Great writing nika

[sam7777]

Aaaarrrggghh!! You can't stop it there. Still great fic. I can't wait to see who tara is meeting and what this is all about. I love how hard boiled Red has been softened by Tara but is still determined to see the case thru. We should be wrapping round to the start of the fic soon with Red at the bar. I love the W/T love but I also want to see where the story is going. Great fic!!

[sabina]

Hi nika

So here I was checking the board this morning trying to take my mind off my Physics exam that is later this afternoon and I find out that there is a Red Ace update, I feel like doing a happy dance



Ok, so the heartbreak starts

I feel sorry for Red, for the first time she is willing to comit, she is opening herself up (I wonder if this sounds like a bad joke, there was no pun intended, ups), she is completely head over heels in love and then... BANG she takes this blow straight to the heart



Since the beginning that you have been droping hints (ok, anvils really) that not everything is what it seems with Tara. Now I wonder if Tara is really going to betray Willow



I can deal with some angst, but maybe we could return to the happy parts soon?



I'm curious to see the rest of the story



So, update soon?

I must totally agree with Sam7777 - Aaaarrrggghh!! I was literally shouting (in my head, cuz I'm at work ), "No! NOOOOooooooo!! You can't stop there." Well okay you can, since obviously you did. But I'm tellin' ya, that's like cruel and unusual punishment.



I thought (wishful thinking in hindsight) that W/T already had the conversation about Tara telling/sharing everything she knew about what was going on. I know (well, I hope I know) that Tara is really just trying to protect Willow and/or save herself. But gosh darnit she needs to share these things!



I don't usually ask for quick updates, but at this I am prepared to beg

Good times!



My heart broke for Willow.



Tara doesn't want to hurt Willow. We've seen that from the beginning. Willow and Tara want and need each other. That's obvious. There's more going on here, more to find out and because of that, I won't speculate over Tara's conversation with her brother or why she lied to Willow. We just have to wait and see.



Update soon, please

Sj: The twists are fun, but the turns were making me dizzy there for a while. I'm over it though and have a pretty good idea of how things need to progress from now on. I hope I don't get stuck again cause that's just...



Sam: It's not quite the time for Red to figure it all out yet. There are still a couple of surprises coming, so stick around.



Sabina: I'm glad I served as needed distraction. Fan fic should be declared an official stress relief method.



Shuyaku: Begging? interesting



2Diamonds: Yeah good times! All will be revealed in time.

I've got to agree to that

I was freaking a little (I was beating myself up, because I should have studied more ) and then I read your update and I completly forgot my exam



So, I have another one tomorrow, organic chemistry , and two more next week.

Ok, so maybe tomorrow it's too soon for me to be asking for updates

But... If you updated until sunday it would be really great



I'm not being too anoying, am I?



Anyway, since I'm writing this I will use this oportunity to say once more, that I really love Red Ace



And I'm really curious to see how will Tara manage to get herself out of this situation, she seems to be torn between her family and Willow.



As I have alredy been bugging you to update soon, I'm not going to do it again

So many hookups seem to happen around fanfic. It's so cute.



Oh man, what a cliffhanger... I want to see how Tara will get herself out of this situation. She clearly doesn't want to hurt Willow, but in the end, she's too scared of her brother to really do much... this is interesting.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[The Rose24]

Ugh!! Tara is going to try to slip something in Willow's coffee.



I knew this was going to happen.



Poor Willow. It feels really strange that Tara is the one doing the heartbreaking.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[Tempest Duer]

It does, doesn't it? But at least it makes for an interesting read.

Choosing not to decide is still a choice.

[Still Waters T]

Cool!!! You're back, and with two new updates! I love this fic.



Hey you made Tara kiss away Willow's boo boo's Tee hee. The kitchen scenen as really hot but you might have noticed that I thought that, already, with the drooling.



I felt so bad for Willow when she came home to surprise Tara with flowers. Awwww the heartbreak is already happening. It is interesting how Tara is the one doing the heartbreak, for once, and not Willow.



Great updates!!!



Liv Berit

[Fuzz WT]

Oh...god...



This is heartbreaking.



I hope the answer will be nice though...



I mean...



Oh god, I don't know what to say.



Update soon, okay?

You are simply Answers. We need answers. Not more questions (although at least we know who Tara is protecting now).



Gosh, I just love this fic which is huge, cuz if you look at my first post in this thread, I'm pretty sure I said I don't even like these kinds of stories. So I guess I've been converted



More soon

-shuyaku



ps: see I'm back to begging

[Tempest Duer]

Uh... BOOM! wow. I'm totally bowled over, I'm in love with this. I'm too in love with it to beg. I'm just gonna sit here and wait patiently like a good little kitten.

Engrossing read! You got me, hook, line, and you-know-what.



Excellent writing and the plot, character's inner conflict just reeled me in.



more please

Sleek

[sabina]

So now I'm even more intrigued



Hum... to tell you the truth I don't really like Faith.

What is Faith to Tara? What kind of psychos are Tara's relatives?



I sense that the bumpy road has just started so I better fasten my seat belt, hang on tightly and trust you to drive me back to safety.



As always this update was great



More? Soon?

I hate Faith. What is the connection with her and Tara?



Poor Willow. I can't imagine how hurt she is now.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

[bluewillowwitch]

Okay I can't wait to what you have happen to our favorite couple next. Update soon, please? I'm siting here on pins and needles at the egef my seat holding my breath waiting for the next update!

Well I am on a bun and a roll today! Two updates in one day, I hadn't pulled that off in a while. I hope you kittens enjoy this. I know I've enjoyed your replies. Thank you for feeding the bard.



REPLIES:



Sabina: So fan-fic is a substitute for organic chemistry? Cool!

I prefer 'body chemistry' myself. meow! Now was that a cheesy line or what? Oh and as far as bumpy roads go...I hope you have travel insurance.



Bww: Oops! Sorry for the gender bender. My bad.

your wish is my command, update it is.



Shuyaku: Mhhm begging or mochas? Couldn't I have both? *puppy dog eyes* and I am not evil I'm probably the diet coke of evil actually.



Tempest: You'll soon see it's not just about fear. And what if I want you to be bad?



Rose: Just like the song says: Every body hurts sometimes



Stillwaters: Well who could reswist the allure of gratuitous smut? Certainly not me!



Fuzz: I'm a heart breaker? Little ol' me?



Sleek:He-he, here fishy-fishy...

[The Rose24]

Yes! I love your rare two posts tonight.



Things are really angsty right now. Here's hoping they will get better.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.
