WOW... that was an awesome update. Thank you.



I love how you portrayed their thoughts. I wish the show had dug deeper into what happened between them that day. But.. this will do.



Can't wait for more.

Great update, I like the way you are re-looking at W & T and these events. Also loved the insight that Tara has to realize that Willow wasn't channeling her power right. Usually it seems to be assumed that she didn't have enough power yet. This makes more sense.

I really like what you're doing with those quick cut scenes, take your time, this is the best part.

[xita]

Oooh, they met! And now comes the highly speculative section, I am going to enjoy it!

Willow: (to Tara) I could heal.

Tara: (to Willow)And we’re gone.

[Magrat70]

Bethany-I'm glad that you agreed with the channeling, It never made any sense to me that Willow would suddenly become so powerful, I just believed that Tara's experience helped unlock her power.



Jen, Blue, Murasaki you are very sweet.



Xita- the next part is the specuative part I'm going to set it during the end of Hush and Doomed- I hope you'll like it.



Have a great weekend everyone

Love

Awww, thanks, Magrat.



Oooh... the end of Hush, huh? Can't wait to see what you come up with. I would have loved to have seen more of that ep. But... no. They had to end it with B/R sitting there saying nothing.... Grrrr....



Anyway... looking forward to it.

Point of Origin part 3



“You were there looking for me?” asked Willow



“I thought m-m-maybe we could do a spell…make people talk again. I’d seen you…in the w-w-wicca group. You were different from them. They didn’t seem to know…”



“What they were talking about?” said Willow



Tara smiles at the red head knowing that she was getting it, that maybe she had found a friend. “I think if they saw a w-w-witch they would run away”



“Yeah” said Willow smiling. “So how long have you been practicing?”



“Always” said Tara. “I mean since I was little…My mom used to…she had a lot of power. Like you.”



Willow looked surprised but pleased “Oh, I’m not…I don’t have much in the way of power, really, I mean most of my potions come out…soup. Also spells going awry, friends in danger. I’m definitely nothing special.”



Tara looked Willow in the eye. “No, you are” she said with the deepest sincerity feeling it in every pore of her body. Then she looks away embarrassed, worried that she may have blown it by being so open.



“Well I thought we made a pretty good team…not getting killed at all…with some soda machine, boom! Pretty cool. Seems like you’re kinda powerful.” Said Willow.



Tara still looks embarrassed “I’d like to be. I feel like I’m stuck. Like I’m at the door but it won’t open.”



“I know exactly what you mean,” said Willow and she smiles at the blonde girl who returns it and they look at one another for a moment and something passes between them, a blossoming feeling of connection.



“Uhm do you w-want to practice with me sometime” asked Tara. “I mean only if you r-really w-want to”



Willow reaches forward and touches Tara’s hand to calm the nervous girl “I’d love too, it’d be really cool.”



“Do you know what those things were?” asked Tara changing the subject finding even the slightest touch from Willow almost to intense to bear



“They were called the gentlemen,” said Willow then she clapped her hand over her mouth knowing that she shouldn’t have said it.”



Tara looked at Willow’s reaction curiously “H-how did you know…”



“I shouldn’t really tell you,” said Willow.



“Oh, I’ll go. I’m s-s-sorry if I upset you” said the blonde.



“No, Tara no, it’s just, look I’ve got study group in a second but can I meet you some other time, Please, I promise I will explain, but I can’t not here.” Said Willow desperately hoping that other girl would understand, now that she had found this person she didn’t want to lose her.



“Okay” said Tara and walked with away her shoulders hunched and her arms wrapped around herself.



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



Willow went into the library and made a pretence of studying, instead her mind was in turmoil she knew she had just hurt the other girl’s feelings and the guilt was biting into her but she couldn’t tell her about the Scooby’s; could she.



Then again she was a witch and she knew about magic, real magic. Maybe she should tell her; she really wanted too. Was this shy girl the person who she had been waiting for, someone who could teach her about magic and she seemed so sweet, so different from the people she was used too.



Willow was shook out of her revelry by the library floor and walls starting to party by themselves. She dived under the table so that she could ride out the tremor.



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



Tara went to her room, she wasn’t sure what to think or feel about her latest encounter with Willow. Was she fooling herself or was there a real connection between the two of them. It had felt real and she just hoped that she hadn’t driven the red head away with the openness of her feelings towards her.



She wondered if Willow knew this place was a hellmouth? If that was the thing that was making her so nervous then maybe she should just come out and tell her that she already knew. She hadn’t known until she had arrived in Sunnydale but it had soon become apparent to the young witch that there was something wrong here. The whole feel of the place was wrong so she had decided to look into the history of Sunnydale and it hadn’t taken her long to figure out what Sunnydale was. She had laughed to herself when she found out, thinking the fates must have conspired against her for her to end up in this place.



She hoped it was that and not… all thoughts disappeared as the room started to shake, her first earthquake, she did as she had been shown and ran and stood in her closet doorway.



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



Willow felt really down, the last couple of days had really dented her confidence; Percy calling her a nerd, Spike making fun of her. So why was she standing outside the door of a girl she didn’t really know?



Almost on instinct Willow wanted to run away; she felt so nervous. She didn’t really understand why, it’s not like she hadn’t told people before about the gang and the things that they did.



Just as she was about to turn and go she noticed Tara walking up the hall “Hey your out late tonight”



Tara looks up surprised; she had been deep in thought about the very person who was actually standing outside her room. “I w-was uhm in the library studying. Do you want to come in?”



“If you don’t mind. I mean if this is a bad…”



“No, no it’s cool,” said Tara pushing past the red head and opening the door.



Willow stands in the doorway her mouth wide open “Wow, I mean I know some of us like to make our room special but wow”



“You like it?” said Tara looking surprised



“It’s fantastic, very witchy” said Willow walking around the room picking up various items and taking in the titles of the various books on witchcraft, she then stops realising…“I’m sorry I’m touching all of your things.”



“You can touch whatever you want,” said Tara who then blushes realising the implications of what she had just said. “Sit down”



Willow sits on the bed and Tara sits across from her in a chair. “I think the other day I hurt your feelings and I didn’t mean to…it’s just I don’t know how to tell you this…”



“Sunnydale’s on a hellmouth” said Tara and the blonde witch quite enjoyed the look of astonishment on the computer hackers face.



“You knew, how did you know? Do you know about Buffy?” said Willow genuinely surprised.



“Buffy who’s Buffy?” said Tara.



“Thank goodness, because, you know, if you knew who the slayer was…”

Willow looks up to the ceiling. “I suck at keeping secrets don’t I”?



“Y-your friend is the v-vampire slayer?” said Tara.



Willow then spent one of the most enjoyable evenings she had for a while telling the blonde witch all about the Scooby gangs exploits. She loved the way Tara has just sat there wide mouthed and looking at Willow with quite open admiration; it made the redhead feel really special.



Willow suddenly catches sight of Tara’s clock “Gee, it’s getting late, can I see you tomorrow; maybe we can practise some spells?”



Tara couldn’t quite believe her ears: Willow wanted to see her again. “Sure that w-would be great”

Just wanted to pop in and leave some feedback. I stumbled (howver, not drunkenly, thank you) upon this fic this morning. Read what you've got posted from beginning to middle -- and must say that I'm right impressed.



As for your attempt at filling in the blanks - you're not doing a "fine" or "good" job -- you're doing a fantastic job.



You have the characters quirkiness, insecurities and - well -- you have their presonalities just right.



I beg for more, most humbly,

JD

I thought it was cool how Tara already knew that Sunnydale was on a hellmouth and that vampire slayers existed. There was a lot that they didn't show on screen so I love these fics cuz they fill in the blanks.

Point of Origin part 4



Here I am again thought Willow to herself, standing outside Tara’s dorm door, of course she didn’t usually stand outside another girl’s door with a rose in her hand. For a spell she reminded herself.



She was feeling very strange; her mind had been full of the blonde witch. She had spent the last couple of days thinking of things they could do together. It was the first time in eons that she hadn’t spent all her time thinking about Oz.



She knocked on the door



“Hey Willow, I’m glad you came” said Tara.



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



Tara looked at the mess of petals all over her bedroom floor “The petals are off”



“Did you feel something?” asked Willow.



“Y-yes” said Tara “It felt dark, I think someone else is casting, m-maybe we shouldn’t do anything else. I d-didn’t like it”



“Kay” said Willow surprised at seeing the blonde slightly freaked “What do you want to do?”



“I d-don’t know” said Tara surprised that Willow wanted to do anything with her. “It’s a little late to go out. You don’t have to stay if you don’t want too”



“I do,” said Willow. “Why do you always do that?”



“What?” said the blonde.



“Put yourself down like that, think that I wouldn’t want to spend time with you” said Willow.



“You don’t know me” said Tara.



“No, not very well, but I think we could be friends” said Willow.



“Really” said Tara. “I’ve never had many f-friends, you have plenty of friends, and you don’t need me”



“I don’t have that many friends, only Xander and Buffy. Anyway it’s nice having someone new to talk to, someone who doesn’t keep telling me I have to move on and get over Oz” said Willow



“Oz?” said Tara.



“My ex-boyfriend, he had an affair and left town, it sort of hurt a lot” said Willow



“I’m s-sorry” said the blonde.



“I…have you ever thought there was someone here in this world just for you…I don’t know…someone so special that they would be the other half of you?” asked Willow looking at Tara with serious eyes.



Tara shook her head but deep in her mind she thought no, not ‘til I met you darling, with your soulful green eyes and smile that lights up the world. She realised that they had been looking into one another eyes for a long time.



Willow dropped her gaze, taken a back by the connection she had felt for the blonde, maybe this was the way witches always felt when they had started casting together but it had never felt like this with Amy. The atmosphere was so heavy and charged; maybe it was because of the dark magic they had felt.



Tara nervously cleared her throat “Uhm is Oz that p-person for you?”



“I thought he was, I thought he loved me, but he fucked that bitch…”



“Willow” said Tara shocked by the sudden venom in the red heads voice.



Willow laughed sardonically “Well I’m sort of being accurate; she’s a werewolf, actually so is he.”



“You dated a werewolf?” said Tara.



“Hey, I’ve managed to shock you at last, you’ve been the knowledge woman, all knowing about the hellmouth and taking in the fact that my best friend is the slayer without a blink of your eye” said Willow teasing gently. “I was waiting for you to say; I know it can be hell dating a werewolf, what with having to lock them in a cage every month”



“D-do I really come across like that because I d-didn’t mean…”



“No Tara, I’m sorry I was just joking” said Willow. “What’s happened to you? You are so funny, intelligent and lets not forget pretty but you seem to think yourself worthless, why is that?”



Tara’s head stays bowed not able to meet Willow’s eyes just in case she gives anything away; Willow thinks I’m pretty or is she just trying to be nice.



“Tara talk to me, tell what’s wrong” said Willow concerned that she had hurt her new friend. “I can be really thoughtless, but I don’t mean anything by it, I just make stupid jokes sometimes.”



“It’s nothing, honest” said the blonde. “I’m just bad with people, I just never seemed to make friends at high school.



“I know how you feel, I was such a spazz at school and it probably would have stayed like that if I had never met Buffy, I mean I might still be a spazz but at least I feel like I’m doing good, helping people” said the hacker.



“You’re not a spazz you are so cool, f-fighting monsters and stuff, you are really brave” said Tara, she changed the subject quickly not wanting Willow to see the crush that was getting worse and worse with every moment she spent with the redhead. “Did you really have to lock Oz in a cage”



“No he actually locked himself in most of the time” said Willow.



“Weren’t you scared he’d hurt you?” said Tara.



“No, not really, but he did, but not in a physical way. Anyway less about Oz. What about you, any good looking boys broke your heart.”



“I’ve n-never had a boyfriend” said Tara.



“I don’t believe that, a pretty girl like you, I would have thought you could have your pick of boys” said Willow.



Tara glanced quickly at Willow, should she take the chance and come out to her, why not, lets get the rejection out of the way before I fall totally in love with her and she finds out from someone else. “W-willow I’m n-not interested in b-boys I’m a l-lesbian. I understand if you d-don’t w-w-ant to be my friend anymore.”



Willow lays her hand on Tara’s shoulder “Do you think I would be that bigoted? I don’t care what you are, you are my friend and I really like you.”



“Do you still want to meet in the common room tomorrow?” said Tara.



“Of course I do” said Willow. “I’ve lost too many people who were my friends, to the hellmouth, to walk away from someone as nice as you.
