Welcome back, Heather! To say you were sorely missed would be an obvious understatement, but I hope you know just how often you have been in our thoughts. I've walked the path you are on now, and I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this first, most difficult year. So glad to hear that your heart has a new companion! Life is a full, rich, bittersweet feast.

Now about the update: I loved that you picked up the story exactly were you left it (not sure why I expected anything different?). As usual, excellent dialogue and characterization--I always enjoy they way you write the girls' inner thoughts. I was intrigued by the way they are becoming so much more comfortable with each other, and beginning to "naturally" flirt. Loved the "babies" conversation--will Willow have a little freak-out when she realizes what she said re: her partner having the babies? Did Tara really miss that clue?

As always, I appreciate your description of the setting. I felt like I was in the car, driving through San Francisco with them. This story would be great set in any city, but I love that it's in my favorite city. I'm hoping to be in San Francisco for a bit this August; I'll probably catch myself looking for a blonde and a redhead in every coffee shop!

Looking forward to the Anya visit. I'll be waiting patiently. :flirt

Yay!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Heather for this wonderful update. I LOVE this story and can't wait to read more. You have truly captured the essence of W/T without all of the BTVS bullshit. That's why I love this story. Glad to see you're back and thank you again for the inspired words that you write.

Damn, I was really snockered when I wrote that. I just re-read it this morning and realized that I sound so dramatic. Oh well, I guess that's what this fic brings out in me,

You rock Heather!

As one, they turn to the soda machine. It flies back into the door like a cannonball. Willow looks at it, at Tara. She doesn't let go of her hand.

Love it, Love it, Love it too! I'm one of those who registered just to be able to say that. I've been checking here for months just to see if you've continued, and now that you finally have, I just couldn't let it be unfeedbacked. (Well, yeah...)

Though this isn't a proper feedback at all, cause I'm just conna say over and over again how much I enjoy this fic. Which, if you haven't realized, I very much do... If I spoke english, I'd probably try to find something to complain, but cause I don't, I won't bother (it would be hard too, I'm sure). It's so much more fun just consentrate on loving this. :-D

Ugh, I don't know what to say anymore, so maybe I'll just... go and read some previous parts? Yeah, that's what I'll do!! Thank you so much for updating, and my best wishes for you in the future!

So cute. Keep them flirting, will you? ;-)

Welcome back, oh Guru of Angst and Great Music!
Obviously, I can't add anything that hasn't already been said, but here's being large with the unoriginal:
So sorry for your loss. Life can be so fucking unfair and it always happens to the very best people.
Congratulations on the big luuurve!! Makes it even more gracious of you to waste time on bunnies like us who are still dependent on our vicarious smootchies... I did ask Wiccachica to marry me, but she got all avoidy, so I don't it's gonna happen...
:-D
Nuff said, no more private stuff, as per request.
Goddess, have I missed some good angst in my life! I've even succumbed to writing my own story to sustain me during the absence, which I solemnly swore I would never... I didn't realize that one would get so obsessed with it... And who would have thought that angst is such fun to write!
As for this story having long to go: Go team you!!
When something is good, you just want it to last forever, so the longer the better in my opinion. Bring it on, girlfriend!
:bounce :bounce
This chapter is another great example of what makes this fic unique and interesting. The mundane little details like coffee and parking garages makes everything seem so logical and natural, even though we're not in Sunnydale anymore, Toto... It's fascinating how well the characters just fit into this environment like a glove, still being totally Willow and Tara, just a little older.
I'm so glad you are with me on Anya. Of course she can be crass, but she can also be extremely kind and loyal, so I feel that she sometimes is too hard done by, in fic especially. After all, when Willow said she couldn't sleep without Tara (neither can I actually, so Amber: Sorry, you'll have to move in with me :-D ) Anya offered her to sleep in her bed, which was a very kind and generous offer, I thought. Also, she did offer Tara to look at the money in Bargaining, which after all is the best thing in the world to her, so that was also extremely kind after an Anya fashion. Also, I'm sorta kinda a little like her, so I feel I need to stand up for all the loudmouthed, opinionated, unsuitably frank women of the world...
I can also feel sometimes that some fic writers (present company excluded, of course) exaggerate Tara's shyness a little. Yes, she stutters, and has perhaps fewer friends than Willow, but I just wish I had the guts to pull an "I am you know...Yours.." when I was interested in a woman. I also wish I would look like Amber while doing it, or at least master The Look that she does that makes one swoon in a tiny embarrassing lump, but, Alas! it is not to be... :blush Anyway, I just don't think she's that shy romantically, or when she's alone with Willow in general. Large crowds yes, but I think she's rather enterprising about courting...
I am also eternally grateful to you for adding yet another terrific playlist to my expanding horizon! You are my absolute Supreme Guru of Modern Music, you know! I seem to like what you do, so keep 'em coming and I'll be a happy bunny! I am listening to the Walkmen as I write...Your taste in music rules. I have gone from " Les Savy what?" to owning all their albums and actually being told I have cool taste in music by an american 19-year old on the bus... That has soo never happened to me before... Just let me now if you ever need a comprehensive guide to German opera or something like that, ' cause then I'm your gal... :glasses
I bow to thee, Guru of Music and Angst :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow

Simple words cannot express how happy I was to see your post, Heather. Apparently swearing and spazzing can, though...seriously...I was cursing like a trucker and spinning in my chair for ten minutes. Then the insane jealousy kicked in, since I was seconds away from updating my own fic and had a "oh well, maybe the few people not racing to read Neverland would like a bit of fluff to tie them over" moment. Then, of course, I read the update, and quickly moved to bewildered awe that after months away, you picked up the story so seamlessly. No rust in sight, really. All the same attention to detail, spot on dialogue, humor and "awwww" moments were there. Oh, yeah, and the 'bang your head repeatedly with a blunt object cause they're so fucking clueless!!!' dynamic hasn't gone away either (which I am happy about, concussion notwithstanding :) ).
As usual, there's too much to mention, but a couple of things I really, REALLY, REALLY loved: 1. The description of Willow looking like the kid who spilled the grape juice...perfect! 2. Tara's feeling of musical ineptitude (I've felt that way ever since you've been posting this...thanks). 3. All of the 'getting to know you' conversation...so important, and so much easier to do in a car than on public transportation. 4. This whole interaction:
"I wanna go. With you. Out." Out, with you, forever.
That was so Willow, and a part of me wishes she'd just blurted "I wanna go out with you," but of course that would have freaked Tara out, and led to much blushing and non-verbalizing. But Willow's thoughts went so much deeper into what she wants: to be out/open/honest, to be with Tara for the long term. So few words, so many meanings...how do you DO that? :clap

Hey Heather!

I'm with everybody else in the "Welcome Back Heather Club". I was so thrilled to see you back on here. I'm so sorry to hear about the sadness and happy to hear about your gladness. I also found someone special, and know that even on the darkest of days, they can be our sunshine. I'm so happy for you. Big hugs to you and your girl!

Now, about this here update...you never cease to amaze me Heather. It simply flowed. Willow being a little frazzled at first was so typical, then the whole conversation seemed so natural. Even the usual misunderstanding of Xander/Willow relationship wasn't so bad, and the whole baby conversation was sweet, but they sure need to get on the Clue Train and catch those little give-away comments. I mean, come on, Willow said "partner", so she's giving some hints Tara needs to latch onto.

Oh well, I could rant about this painfully clueless couple that you have us writhing in pain about, saying come on, come on, enough already, but as you probably can relate, I have some other important things to attend to.
So I'll be taking care of some business while I'm sure you're taking care of yours. ;-) At least I have something to keep me busy while I patiently wait for your next wonderful update, no matter how long it takes. Again, so glad you're back. Please keep the updates coming!

Can't wait to see what's next!

Heather! Welcome back!

Sorry to hear about the unhappy stuff. But happy to hear the umm... happy stuff...

Now the update. I liked how Willow was slipping in little hints. I love how clueless they are, but on the other hand I can't wait to see them get the clues so to speak... But anyways great update, u have me on the edge of my seat everytime. Look forward to more

Hey! :D Wow, I am a little at a loss... where to start? This is going to echo many of the other posts, but there was absolutely no rust here. You picked up both the flow and technicality of the story as well as the feelings that are so easy to detect on the surface with ease. I love the way I was just instantly back in the story as if I had read the previous chapter last week. They are so adorable and comfortable together, yet still tip toeing around the romantic issue. This bodes very well for their relationship when (I'm assuming here) it happens.

Wonderful, wonderful job. As always I am blown away by your writing. I look forward to more. Peace out.. fah drizzle.

Awright, I just posted a reply and my browser timed out, darn it all. I'll attempt to recreate the post. First of all, Heather - welcome back, congratulations on the new love, and my sympathies also.

I echo what others said about there is no rust to be seen! This was a great update and you picked up the thread of the story seamlessly, to mix a couple of metaphors.

Something that bothers me is Willow's lying. I was very happy for her when she decided to be honest and come out. I was impatient but understood that she wanted to come out first to Buffy and her mother. I also understand why she wants to do that before getting large with the smoochies with Tara, especially because they live together.

But the lying is really about the half-and-half errand vs. the art supply errand. If Willow is a telecommuter, then she must work pretty independently and odd hours, considering the type of work she's doing - I don't think it would matter all that much to her employer as long as she is consistently productive and reliable. But that's not really here nor there - the crux is why does she want to lie about going for groceries vs going out with her roomate for art supplies?

A small thing, but I think there are so many half-truths and omissions that it's a big web of untruth and very complicated. If Willow is ever to push herself up through the dirt and shake her petals free, to borrow an image from Dar Williams, I think she needs to adopt a policy of scrupulous honesty with self and others.

Glad you're back in the saddle. :-D

Heather,

Welcome back... you have been missed ! The update was wonderful... absolutely no rust in sight ( I'd venture to say the new gf has probably kept you in good working condition :-D ) I have nothing original to say... I love this story, the way you write always transports me. I have truly missed this story, but it doesn't compare to how badly I've missed you. Welcome Heather...

*hugs you*
oh how i have missed reading this fic! I'm so glad there was an update. I know I shouldn't but thoughts and prayers to you. Its so heart warming to hear when the heart finds a partner. :)

On to the fic....and my I just put a few of these in there:
:bow :bow :bow :bow
Not rusty at all I must say. Willow and Tara are getting so close to saying it....gah....i would knock heads if I was there. The convo in the car was very cute. I know how Tara feels when you don't know a band. I usually end up smiling and nodding then looking like a dork. :blush
The kids subject was also cute. I had that convo once with my boyfriend. it ended up in angst and heart pouring but it was fun.
Your writting has been wonderful as always. I could imagine it in my head. After having loads of driving lessons I can deffinately see every move Willow makes at the wheel and all the glimpses going on. Thank you thank you thank you for this great update and I hope there are more some time in the future. *hugs you again* :-D
you have been missed!

Heather~

Welcome back! I shall shout from the highest mountains that it is YOU who brought me to the Kitten board. If it weren't for reading this story on Through the Looking Glass (first fic I read on that site, as well), it would have taken me a LOT longer to find this board. And, right now, so many kittens are thinking, "Dammit, Heather! You HAD to bring her here?! What were you thinking?!"

I've posted on this thread a few times before...but mostly to reply to others who were begging for an update. I'd like to take a bit of thread space to actually respond to your amazing work. While tempted to reply to each chapter individually, I will refrain -- I could go on for days, and I have to sleep sometime (contrary to popular belief).

I read the first 37 chapters way back in late January...just after you had posted Chapter 37, I believe. I read it in one sitting. I just couldn't stop, no matter how hard I tried. I even went to bed at one point, but my mind was spinning and going over what I had just read. I got out of bed and went back to the computer because I HAD to keep reading. Fortunately, my job doesn't take a lot of brainpower...there was no sleep for me that night.

There were a few things that gained my attention and held it rather firmly. First of all, the thing is just so damned well written! It was very clear to me that you took the time to choose your words carefully -- there was nothing haphazard here. And, after years of grading papers by students who just didn't understand the concept of the verb, your grace and style of writing was a welcome pleasure.

Secondly, it is a well-constructed story. You've managed to map out a plan for your tale...and you're sticking to it. The story doesn't go off all willy-nilly on tangents. You have a clear purpose and you remain true.

Thirdly, your characterizations of Willow and Tara (as well as Buffy and Xander) are dead on. If you read any of my other posts on this board, you will be able to tell that I am a sucker for remaining true to the characters we all know and love. However, what really impresses me is that you've made them your own without contaminating our perceptions of these people. I like...no...I love these characters. YOUR characters--the people that you have created. Even Anya...in all of her "unlikeableness".

Fourthly (fourthly? *shrug*), the world you've created is so incredibly detailed. Again, every word seems so carefully chosen to create an incredibly vivid picture. The sensory imagery is so wonderful -- I'm experiencing your story on a visceral level. Each moment of happiness, pain, anxiety, etc. felt by Willow or Tara -- well, I feel it too. It takes a very talented writer to pull me into a story THAT much.

Finally (well, not really, but I need to wrap this up sometime), connected to the detail you've put into your story is the pacing of it. I've seen so many of the replies that say things like, "Time for Smoochies now" or "Oh, why can't they just see the signs?" and, in all honesty, part of me thinks the same things. On the other hand, I love the time you're taking with the story...and their relationship. I'm an angst girl. I've said it before and I will say it again. And I love love LOVE the angst you're providing us. Again, I experience it viscerally. So wonderful.

I've said before that this fic is one of THE most recommended stories around. We'd talk about it in chat and all of us would let out a collective sigh. I'll be honest in saying that I actually hyperventilated when I saw the update for Chapter 38 (ask Cam -- I was chatting with her when I saw it). And, if I might make a small confession (and potentially endure the teasing of my fellow kittens), I will add that I also shed tears at the sight of an update -- not so much because I was happy that my twitches of withdrawal would be lessened, but that it meant that you had returned to the community that missed your presence so much. (Okay, I admit it, it's also because I'm a big ol' sap -- I cry during Kodak commercials.)

I've spoken in very general terms; now let me say something quick about the latest update. It took me a few days to read it because I started from chapter 1...AGAIN...and read through to the update. I love the way you were able to blend the light-hearted banter and flirting with the more angsty feelings at the mention of Xander in the conversation. Just so natural. Wonderful.

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us, Heather. I'm eagerly awaiting your next update. Knowing what it's like to be in love, I won't say "impatiently" -- because I know that love gets put in the front seat.

Dude, this fic is so gonna top 300,000 views. Yeah, say it outloud with me...THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND. That's more views than any topic I've ever seen on the Kitten. I'm almost tempted to use my forward and back buttons on my browser until it rolls over, but then there'd be this whole "Neverland Scandal" where the results would be skewed and the kittens would drag me to the whipping post (sounds kinda like a fantasy, but not really). Ok, I'm gonna step out of that world now.

So, about the fic, if I've said it once I've said it THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND times that you are so in the head of Willow and Tara. Your writing flows beautifully from descriptions to dialogue. It's amazing, simply amazing. I painfully enjoy each chapter.

Thanks for the Update gurl!

Well, long time no see...it was good to get an update...I might have done a little bit of this when I found out about the update: :dance :dance (really, this update deserves two happy dancing stick figures)

And as for the update...can I just say that it's amazing to me how much you can write and they're still not to Anya's and she can't spill the beans...I'm going crazy here!!!! Anya's is going to be a kick in the pants and I can't wait for them to get there...*sigh* apparently I have to wait for another post. Hehe...please be kind! But yeah, I'm sure you have what seems like a million and a half of these feedback suckers to go through. Even so, it's great to have you back and I look forward to seeing where this all goes.

Yay for you!!!

:bigwave Welcome Back! Now I have a question :?: I swore Willow had like a week or so to come out! How long has it been in fic time cuz I'm confused? I think she should come out by the 26th of this month in real time because this month is national Gay Pride month and Seattle is having our parade on the 26th! :pride ( :sh I took the day off at work for a "Personal Holiday") But you know no rush or anything. Because we kittens love you so much we would wait for at least another three months. But that's beause the angst is so good. I bow to you all mighty giver of torment :bow ! LOL
Well hope your sun is shining a little brighter! We missed you. By the way can I just say :wtf :arrow: :spam :confused

I had to register and post this...
Best fic ever.
A friend of mine recommended this fic to me and I will be eternally thankful to her (just in case she's reading.. thanks sinner!). And of course, eternally thankful to you for writing this amazing story. And for this wonderful update! I was so happy to read a new chapter.
I wish I could give you a constructive feedback, something smart and witty, you know? But all I can come up is "OMG I LOVE IT KEEP WRITING PLEASE" and lots of excited squealings.
I love reading fanfics, I really do, I'm completely obsessed with them. And Neverland is like a little piece of heaven on earth, the creme burlee of deserts, a warm bed in the cold cold night. Ok, enough with the silly metaphors. What I mean is this is one of the best fanfic I ever came across. And it's long. Quality AND quantity, what more can I ask for?!

:bow You're the best, please keep sharing this beautiful story with us.

No, I," Tara interrupted, seeing that Willow had misunderstood her. "I meant, now. If you could be anywhere but here now, where would you be?"

I'd be here, reading neverland :-D

I was on vacation in a wonderful and hot Portugal and i enjoyed it so much that i was bummed that i was back in the "cold". Then i went online and saw that Neverland got a couple of more pages on the board. I tought lets not get excited because it is probably more kittens giving the story the praise it deserves. BUT IT WAS A UPDATE!!!! :party

Everytime i give feedback i say things like i cant wait to read about....Willow giving the bracelet, the red party or like now going to Anya. Then you update and it is not in it. When i read the update i realise that you were right to put something in before the big happening i am waiting on. It just fits the story! I love that. The car ride was just wonderful and really comfy. They are getting to know each other more and more. Even the things they think are less attractive about themselfs. Like others mentioned the whole talk about having children was just fantastic! They will make a wonderful family, if they ever get there! Just kidding cuz i think i will be sad when the story ends.

Thanks again for the greatness

Re: New Fic - Neverland

Postby SavageWaters19 » Sun Jun 26, 2005 1:39 pm

It took me like 5 hours to figure this thing out, so bare with me on this.

I have read tons of Willow/Tara fanfictions and I have to say that Neverland is my favorite.
I saw it on Through the Looking Glass and I stayed up all night just to read it. I was so enthralled that I couldn't turn away! It saddened me that you didn't put up your email, but I saw the Neverland thread and I thought, hey I'll try that.
I've never used a chat board like this so, its taken me a while to get used to it, but I registered because I had to tell you that your fanfiction is literally one of, if not the, best fictions out there.
The awkwardness of it jsut makes me cringe, but I love it! I just can't wait until Tara finds out Xander has no effect of Willow. But I shall have to be paitent and wait for you to come out with the next installments.
Anyway, I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed your writing and I'm looking forward for every part!

Heather, love you!!! :x

Okay, I can not express how much love this fic. I just read the whole thing all over again this weekend. And yeah, I know I'm quoting, but "I'm under your spell", lol. The plot, the characters... everything is just amazing. And the way you descirbe...well...EVERYTHING! It's all so... oh, argh. :gnome -See, I can't even explain how much this fic means to me. You're a true artist, a true writer, Heather. -You really are. The characters; the way you describe them, the way they act... Seriously, if there was one fic on earth that was to be made a show of, this would be it! See, that's what I interpret as heaven. Your "Neverland" as a show. Then I could have bought the DVD's and it would be so... Oh well, never gonna happend. But reading your story... -I'm speechless. You have a great talent, you know that?! :bow :bow :bow

As for this update: LOVE IT! I love how the relationsip is developing. What with Willow being more open and all. And that conversation about having kinds. Willow saying she'd happily let her partner have the kinds. Lol, I loved that part. Can't wait to see how it goes at Anya's! :bounce :bounce :bounce

And did I mention how much I love this fic? Seriously, you should get paid for doing this. Once again, love it! Although, I still feel the urge to just jumpt into the story and reveal all the secrets. Oh please, can I, can I, can I? Pretty please? :flower
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck... But please don't break my heart.

Wow this fic is just so great. I delurked for fics like this. I can't believe all the emotions these girls go through, and very quickly too. I'm glad that you're back to updating even if it's not that frequent. Thank you for this great fic and I can't wait to read more.

Heather, you don't have to respond twice to me as I feel bad enough for doing this already, I just...well, there are reasons why I'm here replying again...and they are:


Willow Rosenberg was afraid, because she was now, as she was the day she spent in Golden Gate Park with the blond three years previously, head-over-heels in love with her new roommate, Tara Maclay.



Oh no, my life's not confusing at all...



She exhaled and looked over her work. Casual. Friendly, but not intimate. Legible. She disappointedly sighed and ripped the page off the pad, then placed the box on top of the note on the counter. She looked upstairs again, the shower going strong, and sighed. She picked up her bag, and with one last look at the gift, exited.

The house was still for a full minute before the front door swung open and Willow charged back in, grabbing the gift and note. She shoved the note into her pocket, and exited again, gift in hand.



"you c-couldn't sleep because you were w-worried about me?"


No, a far more likely explanation for Willow's sudden attention was the simple reappearance of Tiny Jewish Santa.


"Just... um, b-breathed... wrong..." Tara trailed off, confusing herself with the words.


'Love of my life, this is the girl I might date. Girl I might date, love of my life.'



So, dear, LOVELY Heather...As you can probably tell...I sorta...kinda...reread...Neverland...again.

*deep sigh* I know, I know, rereading just leads to more tear-jerking, and more "OH MY GOD THIS IS SO MY LIFE, SO THERE IS HOPE!"-ing,

Buuuut.....*whimper*

I love it. Absolutely, unconditionally, love this fic.


And the above quotes, although slightly random at times are the reasons why. I would continue in detail to explain why each and everyone is like that, but....well...the moderators might acuse me of being a thread-whore. Besides, I'm already getting glares from everyone else for making it LOOK like there's an update...I just, I figured it'd be nice to sort of give you a bit of a review of why you are so cool and amazing at the real-lifey-ness in your story:

*breathes in before she says what might bring about a lawsuit--elizabeth is not sure*

These characters...they aren't ME's anymore. You've made them yours. And thus, I believe, ours as well. So, thankyou. *humbly tips non-existant hat* Thankyou for this wonderful piece...and I'm dying to read more, (if you haven't guessed).

So in conclusion to your fabulous writing:

AH! My dear, You put the 'fic' in "C'est Magnific!"

-elizabeth

p.s. I made the lovely Tagliet-whatever, I can't spell, with Spinach, and Garlicy-Cheese for the family last night. VERY yummy. Tangy-yummy. Cheers!

Hi,
soon I'm off into my holidays. But I cant go before I left my thanks.

So thank you for taking your time to write an absolute stunning fanfic. For taking your time and to let the character slowly grow. Thank you for painting with your words some beautiful pictures which I will hold dear for a long long long time.
:bow

Rea

( btw thanks for putting up with my grammar :lol )
Thats what we all dream about. Someone who looks so deeply into your soul that they find something worth dying for.

When oh when will there be another update?!

I'm completely in love with this story and have read it several times. The angst the pain the unrequited love the sexiness... what's not to love! I especially like the pacing. Nothing is happening too quickly... the pain is drawn out so as to fully appreciate Tara and Willow's dilemma's.

Soo... another update, when? Soon I hope!
Good god that's a lot of shake!
