[intricate mirage]

Hey there!



hmmmm, definetly interesting!

That was the most interesting uh..love scene i've read in a long time. Tara was really wild. I liked that!

The key thing was really funny.

Great update!

Hey....you really watched "pretty woman" cause i've mentioned it? Now i feel honoured too.

It's a nice and romantic one isn't it? Stereotypical? Well, whatever! Let us be stereotypical and cry while watching such movies. I'm not ashamed to admit that!



I hafta tell you something too. You remember that time with your fortune cookies and stuff? I kinda got curious and went to get those cookies. And that was a hard thing to do, cause here where i live you don't get them when you eat at chinese restaurants. Strange, but true. But luckily i found a place and bought a fortune cookie.

And you know what it said? This :"With your incredible energy you work through a giant programme".

Uh-huh, i'm still wondering what the hell it was trying to tell me...



snuggle79

This is how everyday should end and start ..and all the stuff in the middle

The greatest thing you'll learn, is just to love and be loved in return.

great update......

the key incident was sooo funny



lots more to come I hope

[shuyaku]

That was great. Really great! I wanna play the "Where's the key" game



And don't worry about the love scenes - that was very cute and a completely different and unique way of conveying it. I'm taking Advanced Comp this semester - I may have to ask you for help

[thebardgirl]

hmmm....okay i know the title for the update is a little late in coming, but i seriously just couldn't resist having the "I spy" thing and then answering it with this....okay replies now:



hereinmyhead-i delurked some one with my sad sad display of a love scene? well, i'm honored!! that was interesting to you? well....cool! i'm lovin' you, do you know that? and hey! hey you! yeah, i'm a-talking to yahs....don't go into lurking again! stick around here! i'll bake you cookies? AND give you fanfic? and yeah, the "love" scene. heh....that was a combination of escaping the NC-17 rule of no one under 18 reading or writing, and me still making fun of the two....but hey, i'm glad you liked it!!!! so keep reading please? and "go you" for replying!!



The Rose24-thankyou! i'm so happy my comedy is not failing on the ears of the kittens. oh this update was supposed to be the first time, kind of sorry i didn't give much detail, and not very clear on it, but i really didn't know how...so...is it at least clear now?



bluewillowwitch-hey grace! yeah, they got a little heated, but i'm sorry to say this oven isn't going to stay at very high temperatures alot...i'm thinking of spreading out anything like this every now and then....not a constant love fest....thanks for the kind words though...



LostWithoutTara-thanks! the key made it easier for me to write what little i did. thanks again.



the vamp nurd-ah!! i was wondering where you'd gone and i thought i had scared you off or somethin...and then i started hyperventilating, and then i fainted and now i'm here. okay, that's not completely true, but i am here...and i can pretend to faint....eh, so you've missed updates, everyone does...thanks for the kind words...but i may ask washi how in the frilly heck you do these things some day....*snicker* key...my own escape into humor other than "love making"...sorry if that's not what you wanted.



intricate mirage-thankyou! i'm glad i had you rolling about in laughter, that's always a good way to roll....i should know...i've rolled many a time with it....cool! you thought it was funny even with all the inuendos flying about the furniture! that's what i was going for...just pure comedy and sillyness....i guess the beautiful romance died when willow and tara got back to the inn....ah...well....there will be more romance i think...thanks cassie



snuggle79-hello! uh, yeah, interesting....its kind of strange isn't it? see, this is the result when you try to get a 17 year wierdo to write a love scene between two women....yeah...Tara=wildwoman....makes me laugh...i'm glad you liked that at least....and yes! i watched pretty woman because of you, i really listen to mah readers....h! i know about the chinese food thing in germany! my relative wouldn't stop complaining about it when there...."no take out boxes or fortune cookies"....and i truly don't get that fortune...funky piece of info: all those fortunes (save the love one) were ones i had gotten...thanks dude!



irishlassie101-thanks! i'm glad you like my key obsession...and i'm agonna try to keep writing although updates, as you know, won't be so speedy anymore...



shuyaku-you wanna play that game too? hmm and i thought i was the only one....thanks! the love scenes...i'm sorry, i can't help but make 'em funny...its a problem i have...ah yes, whenever people tell me i'm wierd, i say, "no, just unique" i'm glad my writing also shows that. OOooo what's Advanced Comp? Comphrension? Computers? what prey tell? Cause i help classmates all the time in school....so....you let me know dude....

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see my own precious jewel sat smiling by me.

And when I awakened I found it not so; my eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed.

[Kerrison20]

Hi,



I'm really glad that you decided to write more to this fic. It's been a couple of updates since I posted last , but I've definitely been reading and enjoying.



Loved the whole "Where's the key" thing.



And your love scene was great.





Lisa

[thebardgirl]

thankyou Kerrison20! and yeah. its okay if you miss updates or don't reply; i'm not going to attack you with wombats if that's what you're thinking.....and i'm happy you're enjoying it alot too! the "where's my key" thing was a spur of the moment idea actually that i thought up last night...kind of my savior for not getting the whole 'love scene' thing...gotta love scape goats! is there such a thing as scape sheep? how 'bout scape cows?

I like the way you got around writting the love scene! That was great Please update as soon as possible! I love this fic and it keeps me occupied and off the streets.

Pax! -Bev

[Arwen276]

And I miss updates, AGAIN!

I think it's some disease I've contracted: the missing-the-updates-skowsky ...

Anyway.

It really was hilarious, reading all those parts. You have an incredibly astute sense of humor!

And I love the way you write everything and set the scene and ...

*Stops raving*



More?



~Arwen



ps: do you suffer from a fixation to the "la-la-la" expression?

It really cracked me up!!

Hear That Baby? You're My Always... Willow

[Tempest Duer]

Yeah, prolly.



Oh, and the update was totally cool... uh, hot... too.

I believe in the madness called "now."

[screeminguitar]

Elizabeth---(whatever your middle name is!) go to your room! See!!!! You did it!! And, so well I might add.!!!! You are no longer a virgin (on-line, that is). I knew you could do it! (no pun intended)

My baby is all growed up!!!



Oh sweetie,--you had me laughing- when you said I have to be "in" first. OK --you mean in a relationship right? Cause you obviously know what you like. Sorry with all the questions and fascination. It's just that someday, I might have to announce the big "OUT" to everyone. I mean you have never been with the male species so I assumed- gay. I'm ok to assume right? After all, here I am being guardian and all, these things are necessary to know!!



All right---I will calm down now. It's just these fires are getting me all --hot --oh boy**blushing***, not in the sexual kind of way. What kind of influence am I??? Shit-- going now.

Love ya, Marie



PS--Awesome update (Yes I am a teen of the 80's)--please keep writing--we rely on these vicarious lovin's.



PSS --Do you play guitar??? I just read the profiles of everyone I reply to on this board and it said ya did? !!!

OK--are you still amazing me or what!!!

OK sweetie, it's cool--I play rhythm guitar and sing. I was obsessed with the Beatles at first--then Country music--now, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, and Dido.



Just sharing--gotta go-Love what you do, so I love you too,

Marie

[The Rose24]

No problem. Judging by the dialogue between them, it sounds as if they already know what they are doing. Like they have been completely intimate for a long time.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

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

[sam darls]

Hey Elizabeth...God, damn my computer I missed an update!! Grr...but I loved it, I really really did..you did a wonderful and beautiful job, as always..so yup...yay!! Love sammi xxx

[thebardgirl]

Shuyaku: OH! Advanced Composition, I get it, I get it. Umm….well, I’m glad that you think I could help you with it. It’s a good thing that it wasn’t Comprehension actually….cause it seems I can’t comprehend things easily….eheh…but hey, whatever you need I’ll try to supply. And thanks again for reading!



Singgirl- oh cool! You like my escapism! Whoo. See, I don’t know if I’ve said it enough, but I’m extremely poor, bad, or whatever at writing something that intimate. Especially between two people I don’t even know….kind of makes me stutter to think about it. This fic keeps you off the streets? What ARE YOU DOING ON THE STREETS??? Not that I’m protective or anything, but please tell me you mean the British rap group, and not the asfault covered place where cars roam?



Arwen276-Hmm….yeah…I seem to be too speedy for you, however, I’m going slow in updating in my mind, so that’s kinda funny. But really, as long as you keep liking it, don’t worry about keeping up or replying. I think I already told some one not to worry because I won’t attack ‘em with wombats….not that I would in the first place…oh hey cool…you’re complimenting me a lot…I think I’ll have to steal you now as well…I’ll have a collection of kittens before this story ends! No no, no need to stop ranting! I love it when you rant so! Ah yes, the "la la la" I love too much. In fact, I think I might soon be called the la la la girl….hmm…interesting image…



Tempest Duer-oh dear, am I getting this forgetful? You said "prolly" but alas I do not remember to what….ah well….its all one…thankyou! I’m glad you liked this update as well…heh….’hot’…hmm….well….more or less an escape…whoo escapism!



Screeminguitar-hmm? Oh no, Elizabeth is my middle name but that’s the one I go by, but back to you yelling at me to go to my room? Okay I will. *walks off to room* I did? Umm…I don’t know what you read, but that wasn’t smut….that was…that was me going, "ha!" cause I figured a way out of it…I’m no longer a virgin? Well….that’s news to me…must have been asleep….oh um being "in"? I was talking both about closets and relationships….i’ve never been with the male species, that’s true, but I’ve never been with the female species either. I’m specieless. And also, I’m not too sure that I’m gay either. All I know is there are two people that I could see myself going out with, One male, one girl. But the girl I was much more attracted to. It’s funny you want to be my "guardian" and such, but no need to bother, although this board has been a god sent to answer questions I didn’t even know existed. Thanks again marie.



Oh hey, there’s PS’s umm I do play guitar, and I have 6. I even play a little mandolino…I’m obsessed with guitars…and I like them better than most people.. cool…you are amazed by me….huh….okay that’s a new one….oh cool! Michelle branch! I mimic her. I mean seriously, mimic everything on the guitar, even the capo.



The Rose24-thanks, I’m sorry if I don’t make things as clear as they should be. It’s hard to have an outside view when you’re the one on the inside of the story. Cool….i’m glad it didn’t seem like I was rushing the relationship!…



Sam darls-hey sam! Oh, I’m sorry, computer woes again….i’m glad you liked it, cause this was my attempt to not attempt it…I guess you could say…thankyou so much! Your replies are what makes this fun!

justin-ah yes, posssesive-tara at her best. personally, the idea of some one wanting something to the point of cave-person talk, it's hilarious to me. I mean, it's like beer bad all over again...and you gotta love the simple wants and needs. thanks for reading!!







Hello kittens! Okay, i believe if you are grateful for this update, you should thank Washi, because that's who reminded me to write something before the weekend's uh..end. And no, it's not smut, Washi by the way, i'm reading your fic Dark Core, which i think, is fab, and i'm slowly reading soon to reply...soon...



And so without much further ado:UPDATE!







Chapter 27





The waves crashing woke her, nothing else. Everything else was as quiet and peaceful as could be, including the constant breathing of her lover that was sleeping by her side. She was clinging to her and vice-versa. If one was to move, the other would as well, just to suit the other’s body perfectly.



It seemed they fit so well. Most wouldn’t be able to tell this from passing by them as they walked on the street or talked in a restaurant, but they fit. Perfectly. It was as if all the missing pieces came together in one fell swoop, yet still completely hidden to the public eye. Which in some ways is good. I mean, would you want everyone knowing how a person fit with their lover? I think not.



It was dark. Well, of course it was; it was night, but all the same. Tara was used to the dark though. The dark of a cupboard that she hid in several times when her parents fought, the dark place she would crawl into in her mind, the dark that enveloped her when she thought of her mother’s passing. It was all darkness before Willow. Speaking of whom, she was breathing silently, causing Tara’s only clue-in to her livelihood to be the movement of her silk-covered stomach humming up and down. Tara was holding onto Willow like her favorite pillow, clutching for life and comfort. Unconscious-Willow didn’t seem to mind.



A faint shuffle of water on sand could be heard outside of the room, onto one of the balconies, though. That was what had woken the blonde in the first place. Tara smiled, thinking of the wondrous turn of events that had taken place. Willow got her the best seats possible to a glorious performance: outside with dancing room. Now, when someone goes to the lengths that Willow did, how can you not give them just as good a gift? That’s what it was. Not a giving in. Not recompense, no. But a giving of herself to the one person who deserved it the most, the one she loved. Willow had given her happiness, the only thing she could offer was herself. Was that enough?



Love is something that humans have a tendency to read too much into, and then at the exact same time, underestimate its power all together. You could write a crappy poem about the girl at school who graduated and didn’t stay with you forever with a pony and a castle. But you would probably stager at the idea of some one knowing every piece of your limb better than yourself. Love’s funny that way.



But Tara had found it. Or rather, it had found her.



Was that fair, though? Why, of all people in the world, did she deserve it, when there were others everywhere, everyday, every night, wishing to death they had a love such as she did? But hold on, was she reading into this too much? Yes, she said she loved Willow, and Willow said she loved her, but does that mean that they were to last forever? You can never be too sure…



A frown had covered Tara’s once peaceful face before she could stop it.



She decided to detangle herself from the sleeping beauty next to her and then take a small walk around the room to the balcony; perhaps the movement would clear her mind.



(We all know that never is true, yet we persist to believe it so.)



The movement of the bed had caused the redhead to stir a little but only cling further to the pillow that had cushioned her head. A soft whisper escaped her mouth, “Tara…” Tara smirked at this. Once off the bed she had a perfect view of the unconscious redhead. She lay there sleeping calmly, her lips moving every now and then to mumble along the words to her dreams. Her hair had become a slight curtain of her profile, only revealing a button nose, one eye, and her rosy lips.



Of all those questions she had in her mind one thing was sure, she loved Willow.



The moon was still shining as much as ever. It seemed almost blinding, so Tara lifted a hand to cover her sleep-blurred eyes.



“I wonder if Willow has the same questions…” she thought, “maybe it’s all a dream, a wonderful, beautiful, Midsummer Nights Dream…” Tara’s head quirked at the sudden reference, ”but it’s Fall.”



“My head hurts,” Tara whispered pressing her fingers slightly to her forehead.



“I just wish that I could be assured Willow won’t leave,” Tara thought wistfully. Everyone had left her before, the worst being her mother. But if she lost Willow, she wouldn’t be able to keep going. Her mother’s death had taken away her livelihood. If Willow were taken away from her, it’d take away her life.



The night was chilly, so Tara wrapped her new robe around her tightly walking out onto the fresh-with-dew-deck. She stood there for several seconds, wishing some sign to come out of thin air and go poof! To signify that there was a higher power, that there was a reason why all this was happening so perfectly. Was she going to die of syphilis or something, and the Gods decided to make up for it with this one night? What did it all mean?



“Hey, you,” came a slight whisper.



Tara turned out of her deep thought to a redhead leaning against the door frame staring with sleepy eyes.



“Sweetie, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you,” Tara said apologetically.



“No need to say sorry, I’m content to go searching for you. It’s like a treasure hunt, and the great thing is there are limited hiding places so I’ll know I’ll win the game of ‘hid and seek lover’,” Willow said with a broad grin.



She walked up to Tara and slowly curled her arms around Tara’s sides, causing both to lean into each other’s bodies. How long they stayed there in that position is unsure; time really didn’t matter to them. Who needs clocks when you’re in the hands of your loved one? But Willow broke the revelry.



She had been having a mini-nightmare in which Tara had decided to leave her and fall in love with Bob from editing. It wasn’t that she had anything against Bob, she hired him; he had an outstanding resume. But still, it was Bob. And why oh why, would Tara leave her for BOB?!



It wasn’t right.



But it unsettled her once content belly, made it all grumbly. And that’s when she awoke to find her blonde haired goddess gone. And so was Bob…



But the realization that she was not in the offices and in fact on vacation with Tara was enough to bring her senses back. And that’s when she saw Tara’s form outlined by the moonlight. It was so beautiful. No need to add herself into the picture; it was already perfect. But, she was weak, and loved being allowed into the masterpiece that Tara created all around her, so she snuck up to join her.



“Tara, um, please tell me that you’ll never leave me,” Willow blurted out too quickly for her own pride to stop. Tara had been stroking Willow’s arms slowly for a while now, but when she heard that quiet plea, everything stopped. Willow had noticed the abrupt change in Tara-caress. No, not change, just a cease in all movement. That was never good, was it?



“Tara?” Willow said a little unsure of what was going on in her mind, “um. Tara, I know that’s kind of a leap from 'hey, I love you’ to ‘don’t ever leave me’ and all clingy-like. But if you could try to understand, I really don’t want to let you go, ever. I, I’ve never found someone as incredible as you. I’ve never been with someone as remarkable as you. I just, I want you to try to stop whatever inkling you might have with future-me to leave, move on, or just break it off. All I know is I don’t deserve you. But if I can just keep you for as long as you’ll let me, I’ll treat you like the goddess you are. So please, don’t leave or anything because of what you might not have known about me or seen before. This is me, Willow Rosenberg. And I love you, Tara MacClay. So, please don’t run off away from me with Bob?”



Through all of this small tears had fallen down her cheek. It seemed all her questions had been answered. Except one.



“Who’s Bob?”











Ah yes, the strange-day-after chapter, however, i sneakily put it in the same night. Wasn't that just cooky of me? ah well...i hope you guys liked it ...and i've been lovin' the kind words you've been givin. so cool....so cool...

-elizabeth i'll admit it....i have a cow problem...i love them...*sniff* but they don't love me!

[The Rose24]

Wow. This is beautiful. You have such a way with words.



Tara and Willow are having the same insecurities. Don't they know they are meant to be together. They are soulmates and nothing can take that away from them no matter how hard something may try.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

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

[mxgirl314]

As usual another great update. I love this story more and more as I go on reading. I really loved this up date, and the whole Bob thing at the end was really funny. Keep up the good work. Can't wait till next update.

Powerful! I loved it. How sweet....very realistic thoughts happening here.

When two people open themselves wide open like that--thoughts of losing them sometimes ensue. Since their relationship is so new it was so sweet how they want to reconfirm their love to each other. Hmmm-wonder how they are going to do that?! hint, hint, hint!!

You funny gal, I was just teasing you about no longer being a virgin, when you said you were smoochieless, you had me rolling

Hey, I am a quiet type (more of a Tara personality) that's why I am sort of a protector type as well. I like being big sister, so don't say I don't have to cause, you take away my joy when you say that!!! Kay'? Besides I am a great listener!

Specieless? Oh my gosh, that was really, really funny

So was I until I turned 18. Up until then I was in love with my best girlfriend--yet settled for one of the 2 boys that asked me to the prom, since she went to the prom with the only boy that asked her. In those days (20 years ago) we didn't distinguish gay as easily --so I never knew if she was or not since we moved on. Later, in the newspaper I saw her picture with some older man saying she was married to this Congressman!!! Oh well, I stopped searching for her.

It's was kinda neat seeing you in the chatroom---I don't usually go on there, but lately I have--some people are kinda cool.

Again, great update--thought the Bob was real funny! Here's another rose to let you know that you really touch my heart with your fic and honest words. Don't ever change--someone is really gonna fall hard for YOU--Cause I know I'm having a hard time resisting the images of a young hot romantic writer--which is you! You cannot convince me otherwise--so don't even try!!!



P.S. (I like these) what kind of guitars do you have?Cool=do u play them all or do you collect them?

I have an Applause Electric Acoustic (like an Ovation) a couple of amps and a couple of acoustics I inherited from my Dad when he passed away 5 years ago.

Rock on dude, Take care===thanks for the update-Love ya lots! Marie

[snuggle79]

Very lovely update!

It's sad to see, that they are both having such big fears to lose the other one. Although it's kinda understandable to think so, if you found something so special, there's sometimes the question of "this is too good to be true..." and so on..

They shouldn't worry so much, and enjoy their blooming love.

I loved Willow's speech at the end. And Tara's "Who's Bob" cracked me up.

Great as always!

[LostWithoutTara]

Fantastic update. There's so much insight into Willow and Tara's minds here; and interesting to see they have the same kinds of worries and insecurities. I suppose that when you find 'the one' you can have a tendency to focus too much on the risk that they may leave you instead of enjoying what you have in the now. I'n sure they'll both realise they're made for each other in time. After all, + = .



Oh, and Bob was

Every time you walk away, I pretend that I'm okay

[shuyaku]

You did a fantastic job on the morning after - even if it was still the same night. How about the really, very, extremely early morning after Very well done They belong together and now they both know it



And Bob hilarious

Hi there



I don't understand!! I come to this board every day and I keep missing all of your updates



Do you post on the update thread?

('Cause if you do, I think I might have Alzheimer )



Anyway... These were such great updates

I loved the key scene, it made me LMAO for a while... and at the same time it was really hot



And the morning after, (even though it was still night) that was just the sweetest thing... The moonlight... the balcony over the beach... the sound of waves crashing down... the undying love promises...

(Yeah, I know I'm a hopeless romantic )



But I'm really loving your story



More soon?

Hehe... great update. What about Bob? lol he gets no Tara action in this fic, I would hope. As for being off the streets, I do mean those pavement thigs that cars use. I get bored, I wander, so more fic means not getting hit by a car

[thebardgirl]

Hey all! well, i'm happy-go-lucky to see the response i got from this not-so-major-but-still-written-update-that-I-was-able-to-punch-out-for-the-sake-of-updating. Heh...turns out i can write in the nick of time! whoo.

oh and hey, does anyone know what the best thing to do is when you're all sore? cause this morning i was up riding and well, let's just say, i jumped the jump...but the horse didn't...

i kind of flipped over his head, landed on the pole, on my side, and conked my head. jaysus, you'd think after 7 years, i'd be a bit more careful....but lord....the line (there was about 4 jumps in a row) looked plausable...and there just wasn't enough room for the two of us it seemed...ah well, enough complaining from me! heh...i'm okay! *dusts off breeches and helmet* just my pride is hurt....





The Rose24-oh, okay! cool! you lika me writing! coolio dude. i'm so pleased you are so happy with it, because you were one of the original few who first started reading and replying...i lika you....i'm agonna steal you one day...ah yes, the insecurities, i felt i had to get that out of the way...best to let the insecure one see the other is also very insecure and thus they both will be happily insecure.

Last night in sweet slumber I dreamed I did see my own precious jewel sat smiling by me.

And when I awakened I found it not so; my eyes like some fountain with tears overflowed.

Hi there



You're posting everything right



Now the update thread... That's the thread at the top of the board where authors post just to say that their fic has been updated.

So this way when someone comes to the board they can open the update thread and see what stories have been updated. Quite useful actually, it helps us distracted readers to not miss the new instalments on our favourite fics



(If you were joking about not knowing what the update thread was then I take everything I said back and I have to say in my defence that it is almost two am and I'm on the verge of falling asleep on my key board )

Hey hon, I'm glad I found this. I don't remember what I was referring to either, but whatever. It's all good. Tara's "Who's Bob?" was absolutely adorable. I love your skill with the little touches.

I believe in the madness called "now."
