FIC: The Gift of Sorrow - Rainbow Writer's Season 7 Pt. 1,2

[Loco2]

great update, it was good that willow didn't freak too much, and really nice how tara could comfort her while she was sleeping. reading this beautiful update almost made up for the fact that my anaesthetic just wore off........ow.

Absolutely wonderful.

Uh, um... various sounds of

.... baby mine is my favorite lullaby... I had Tara sing it to Baby Emily in "No Matter..."



It is such a Tara thing to sing... I got teary-eyed...



Okay... I'm going to finish this before I turn into a blubbery mess...



Cheers (Happy Tears )

"did i just say that? did i just say that too?"

[Jennpurr]

Aim,



Um.. I think she said that on one of her appearances on Loveline, if I remember right. I remember her saying it, but can't fit where. Plus someone quoted it over at The Kitten board. Hope that helps.

Kath and Beth - I'm so sorry I've been quiet. I did read the updates Monday night (I guess the cheesecake and begging worked, huh? ) and was promptly reduced to a sniffling, emotional, verklempt mess. Anything I'd posted would have been incomprehensible. And now, you've done it again!



There are so many aspects to these updates that I love, many of which have already been stated by other RainbowMittens - Willow saying "home", Tara reminding Buffy that Willow is "lost" and telling Madelene that she is also (reminiscent of "I will always find you"), how they both hold on to each other, Willow convinced that she is dreaming Tara and not willing to wake up. The fact that Buffy would have to redo the bedroom had not occurred to me, and yet it makes so much sense and is so heart-wrenching. I also chuckled at Xander giving Madelene nicknames - "Mads"!!!



We are so lucky to have the two of you guiding us on this journey, that, as Xita said, provides healing and hope for all of us.



*Pixie hugs Beth and Kath, hands Kath some angel food cake (yummy beige goodness!), sends Beth more cheesecake, grabs tissues, and snuggles into the cuddlepuddle.*

**Looks around for update, but doesn't find one**







Hope you two are doing good, today.

Hi everyone,



Just a quick note from me about updates, I'm afraid there wont be any today , Kath's mom had a slight accident yesterday and ended up in emergency which as you can imagine has rather thrown things a little out of sink - the good news though, is that she's gonna be ok and so hopefully we'll be back on target tomorrow.



Much love to you all, Yours Beth (and Kath)

[Loco2]

eep. now i feel guilty that i wanted an update so bad, i hope she's ok.

I told my mom about all your wonderful notes and she said to tell you all thank you very much...
