Lovely update. Tara and Willow, alone in a cottage, yep smoochies are on the way!



Anya pregnant - now that should be interesting!

Tara: There's just so much to work through... and can you just be kissing me now?

[Magrat70]

MadeinNZ, Miss kitty-I promise lots of smoochies,



Funkyasian-Steph I felt it had to be this way. I think Tara would have become an even more cautious person after everything that happened; I hope that makes sense.



Leather Queen, Slayer Tazz-I promise BIG reaction from Tara.



Eccentrictulip-I'm so happy you are still enjoying it



Grimaldi-Thank you for your continued support



Kathleen Wolf-You don't know how much it means to me that one of the rainbow writers has popped in and enjoyed my work; thank you.



I'm glad you approved of the way Willow has changed and grown up; once again thank you

These five words in my head scream "are we having fun yet?"

Awww...they're both so sad without each other. But it'll all be worth it when Willow surprises Tara by moving to England....that's so sweet.

Hi to everyone who has bee reading this. I'm not sure if this quite the right place to post this but I had some really bad news my mum who has been recovering from a very aggresive form of breast cancer and has been clear for about 6 months has just been told that she has got a secondary in her other breast, it has been a very upsetting time for my whole family (especially as my grandad has terminal liver cancer).



I suppose I just wanted to get this off my chest, I've been off work all week not really able to cope.



Sorry about this post it sorta sounds like I'm wallowing in self pity so sorry

If you can't or don't want to post it - you are always welcome to shoot an email or IM to me - I'll listen anytime. IM on AOL is tazz1118, on Yahoo SlayerTazz...email Tazz72@yahoo.com.

Willow: "You had two eggs, sunny-side-up. I remember because they were wiggling at me like little boobs."

Tara: "Sassy Eggs."

[Jennpurr]

Hey Wendy,



I'm so sorry, to hear about your mom. I've never been in your position, so I don't know what you are going through, but I can imagine how hard it is for you. If there is anything I can do, please feel free to write to me and let me know. **HUGS** Just stay strong, for her and yourself. That's the best you can do. Hang in there.



Take care, okay? Let me know if you need anything.



Jen

Title: Passion Never Dies part 20

Author: Magrat

Spoilers: As before

Ratings: PG: 13



Passion Never Dies part 20



Tara drove the country lanes to Moira’s cottage; she loved the wild countryside of the east coast of Scotland. She had stayed the night in Edinburgh but hadn’t made her usual circuit of the bars to take the buzz of the pre-festival excitement. She couldn’t, being without Willow was hard and the thought of trying to pretend she was having fun with some Uni friends wasn’t really what she wanted.



She pulled up at the cottage to be met by the bluff Scotswoman, she was in her 40’s and had a wind beaten complexion and short-cropped dark hair with piercing blue eyes. “Ah, Tara my dear. Rupert hasn’t made the trip up with you?”



“No” said Tara hugging her friend. “He decided to stay in Bath, he had some new demon texts he wanted to go through and translate and you know how excited he gets when he has something new”



Moira tousled her hair affectionately “How was home?”



“Home?” asked Tara.



“The hellmouth, the wedding and ex-girlfriend?” said Moira wiggling her eyebrows at Tara suggestively. “Surely you haven’t forgotten already?”



Tara couldn’t hide her grin “It was good…oh hell it was better than good. It was perfect.”



Moira grabbed Tara’s suitcase and ushered her into house and as they entered the living room she was attacked by Moira’s over affectionate golden retriever “Get down Maggie you daft old thing. Tara I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you for looking after her”.



Tara tickled the elderly dog’s ears. “It’s a pleasure she’s never any problems”



“Would you like a cup of tea or maybe a wee drop of malt?” said Moira.



“Tea, please although I may take you up on the whisky later” said Tara sitting down and was immediately pounced upon by the dog. “Come on Maggie wait ‘til your mom has gone before you start jumping on the furniture.”



“No sugar, isn’t it” Tara agreed. Moira walked back into the room with tea things and a plate of biscuits. “Now I’ve got a day before I go to Egypt so I want all the details”



“Details?” said Tara trying to look innocent.



“Of the perfect lassie. I’ve been trying to find one all my life so I want to hear all about this one.” Said Moira “ and I’ll keep on to you all night until you tell me.”



Tara blushed and then grinned, “Maybe later depending on how good the malt is”



************************



Willow had started packing her things into boxes she felt a sense of relief at finally doing something with her love life. Since Tara and herself had split up she felt like her emotions had been in suspended animation, but now it felt real. She didn’t mind moving to England because she knew where ever Tara was would be her home from now on.



She heard a knock on the door and turned to see Connor “What do you want?”



The young man put both hands in the air as a show of surrender “I’ve come to see if you want a hand. I heard about you moving to be with Tara and I’m surprised but I’m happy for Tara I suppose”



“Hardly a glowing seal of recommendation” said Willow eyeing the young man warily.



“Hey, I know we’ve had our differences but I think what your doing is great. I want Tara to be happy, but I meant what I said before if you hurt her…”



“Connor if I hurt her you don’t have to come down on me, I’ll be doing that myself. I know you have found this hard but I really do love her, more than life it’s self,” said Willow.



The young man nodded as if that last statement was what he had came to hear “So do you need any heavy lifting because I have super strength.”



“No, thank you,” said Willow giggling. “You may not have noticed but I live with the slayer. I don’t really have that much stuff, all my computer things are packed away. These are all going freight; I’m just taking some clothes and my laptop with me.”



Connor stops Willow with a hand on her shoulder “You’ll look after her won’t you?”



Willow smiles “Of course”



*************************



Willow walked into The Magic Box, she was doing her rounds saying goodbye to everyone before she leaves.



Buffy, Xander and Anya were sat round the big table in the middle of the shop. Anya jumps from the table and gives willow a big hug “I’m so pleased you’re going”



Willow looks at the shopkeeper a little taken aback “Hey I know we didn’t get on but…”



“No not like that. You and Tara can buy a nice house in England and then Xander and I will have somewhere nice to go for our holidays,” said Anya as way of explanation.



“You’ve finished packing?” asked the slayer.



“Yes”-said Willow.



“I don’t understand why you have to be gone so soon,” said Buffy folding her arms defensively.



“I’ve explained this to you Buffy a hundred times now. I need to be with Tara. I know this hurting you, but would you want me to miss out on this chance of being happy?”

asked Willow



The slayer stood up and threw her arms round her best friend “It’s just, I’m gonna miss you so much.”



“I know” said Willow and she started to cry along with her friend. “I’m going to miss you too but it’s for the best”



“When are you leaving?” asked Xander.



“Tomorrow morning, early” said Willow. “So no party, I just want to leave without any fuss.”



“You are really leaving then,” said Xander as if the words had really only just sunk in. “I always thought we would be friends forever”



“We will be Xan; it’s just I will be in England but you know the phone, e: mail and I.M, it’s not like you won’t be able contact me” said Willow,



Xander gets up from the table and joins in a group hug, the three main scoobys then spring apart a little embarrassed by their group show of emotion.



“Who’s taking you to the airport?” asked Xander.



“Buffy. I don’t want a fuss,” said Willow. “Which is why I’m saying goodbye now.”

You're quite welcome. I will gladly put with you mad crises or anytime. It's a pleasure to get to preview your work.

So glad you chose to include me.

[Jennpurr]

Awwww, Wendy. That was a very sad, but touching update. The next one will probably make me cry, huh?? I wonder what Tara will do when she see's Willow. I feel bad for Willow having to leave everyone behind, but it's good that she's going to go be with Tara. That's always good.



I can't wait for more.



I hope you are doing okay. Your mom and yourself. Let me know if you need anything. **HUGS**



Take care, Jen

Tara: Strong like an amazon, right.

I am so sorry to hear about your mum. *hugs*. Take your time to deal with it, honey. We aren't going anywhere. My thoughts and wishes are with you and your family.
