Hey, I like this. Nice to see the girls hanging out.



This may not be the popular vote here, but it's really only fair that Willow and Tara don't get to share a witchy love tent.



It makes me think...I've noticed that when straight girls want to hang out with me and other gay friends, they seem to think it's all pillow fights and slumber parties. Like every night in a lesbian's house is about makeovers and popcorn.

[pikescoob]

Hehe...I could totally see Anya giving orders about where the tent should go....lol. And Buffy putting Willow and Tara in different tents...that's just mean...heh. I'm interested to see what kinda plan Tara's cooking up.

Damn! Another illusion shattered!



Ahhh, the sound of angst-free, female bonding-type Downtime.



Is there a lake nearby this campsite? Some venue for skinny dipping?



Tell on....

[snuggle79]

yay...*clappinghands* Great Update! SO courious about Tara's plan!

Oh baby, want me to rub your tummy? She likes it when I ... stop explaining things.

Hi, um Tara..how are you? well...I was wondering maybe you want to go out some time...for coffee? food? Kisses and gay love?

[MaClayMagic]

I am really enjoying this so far, it's wonderful to have a light hearted story to read that is so funny and true to the characters. And yeah for Tara having a plan! "If you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a BIG surprise!" Can't wait to see what she has in store!

Anyanka: You trusting fool! How do you know the other world is any
better than this?
Giles: Because it has to be.

Sure, until "Seeing Red"!

[tommo]

Yeah, I loved the same line as Xita. It's so very visual; Willow lunging for Anya and Tara whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Yum. And you've done so well by keeping Willow and Tara apart. I know I'd be tempted to just have them makin' witchy-love all the time in that little tent. Heh.



And um...updates...updates...maybe at the weekend. I'm procrastinating because I've lost it, big time. For some reason, I've started watching boring medical dramas on the tv about district nurses in the hills of Yorkshire. Not good. I see myself sinking into middle-age already. Smut? What's that? No. We'll have no trouble here!

[LadyLily]

Hmm....how funny, I just came back from my own camping trip.



Hopefully their camping trip will be more eventful. But this is a great idea. A camping trip with Willow away from Tara, but bonding with Buffy, and Tara trying to keep her patience with Anya. I kind of see Tara losing her patience with Anya somewhere along the way, making her encounters with Willow all the better. Um, well, that's just my guess.



How come no one ever thought of this idea before?



Unfortuanatly there aren't any more sections....I'll have to go re-read the other sections that are already up. But I'll be anxiously awaiting for the next update!

*sigh* I could just kick myself in the head for having missed this fic. Totally, totally hilarious and I love your Tara...ever the one in control....ahem..that could be taken one of several ways so I think I just might take the high road on that comment Anyhooo, great stuff and I definitely would love to see more.



Isn't that like a W/T fic slut? Always demanding more

Love is tricky. It is never mundane or daily. You can never get used to it. You have to walk with it, then let it walk with you. You can never balk. It moves you like the tide. It takes you out to sea then lays you on the beach again. Today's struggling pain is the foundation for a certain stride through the heavens. You can run from it but you can never say no. It includes everyone."--Amy Tan "The Hundred Secret Senses"

[shootingstar]

Ya, an update and SneakyTara always a bonus. But what's the plan? (i'm refraining form adding Stan, or Batman on the end of that 'cos then you'll all work out how dorky I can be)



Hm...I'm going camping soon...if only it were with Willow and Tara, I mean I wouldn't seperate them...

Grrrr I would kill Buffy for that...well I would maybe just hit her once and run away. She would probably just think a fly landed on her or something. Glad Tara has a plan because being serparated from your girlfriend is just no fun!!

*shakes herself out of stupor*

huh... i was gonna reply, like twenty minutes ago, but i somehow think i got 'pulled over' on the way down the thread by xita's new avatar. oh the joys of slow motion.... whew.



ok blame.... at first i was gonna have a temper tantrum not even to be rivaled by a three-year-old when i found out about this seperate tents thing.... but then it was all ok again, cause well, Tara has a plan! and that, as a rule, is a good thing. (esp. when it comes to... uh... sleeping arrangements)



and as for my enthusiasm... well yeah, i'm enthusiastic about fic from you blame... you have a lovely track record of keeping me coming back for more.... yep, that's me... enthusiastic... like a fox, baby!



now, if you'll excuse me... i have to go zone on xita's avatar again....

[blameburner]

Well goodness gracious, people! I guess you like angst-free fun, huh? *G* Sorry, no update as of yet - but soon.



***LiangFeng – Got rice? LOL! Okay, that’s funny, if for no other reason than my best friend has been in China for the last two years and she’s got some serious rice issues, so I’m gonna have to close all my emails to her from now on with “Got Rice?” Thanks!



***ExtraFlameyWT – All I’ve got to say is, CUBS WIN! Hehe. Take that!



***Jennpurr – Okay, you’re gonna make me blush. Again. *G* Glad you’re finding this funny. I hope I can continue that trend.



***xita – Glad you liked that part. It was my favorite line as well. Jealous Willow just cracks me up – and besides, I think Tara really finds it very, very sexy. Or maybe that’s just me?



***LeatherQueen – Ah yes, the plan. *rubs hands together devilishly* You know what they say about the best laid plans… (pun intended, hehe)



***fidds – I feel sorry for Tara, too – but that’s part of the fun!



***SlayerTazz – Apart for too long? Hmm… Define too long? Muahahahaha.



***MadeinNZ – Yes, you did mention cute. And yes, it was meant to be cute. Glad you liked it!



***Loco2 – Who’s making fun of you? Where are they? Lemme at’em, lemme at’em! I shall endeavor to give you s’more soon. (I like s’more, BTW).



***Tulipp – Wait. It’s not about makeovers and popcorn? Dammit, I want my money back! Hehe. But I’m with you – it really wouldn’t be fair to the rest of the poor, pathetic world if Tara and Willow got to spend the whole time in their tent together. Besides, the possibilities of how much damage Buffy and Anya can do are endless this way. Hehehehehe.



***pikescoob – Yes, Anya is ever the manager at heart. And after all, isn’t everyone really just one of Anya’s minions?



***CaptMurdock – Lake? Have you been sneaking a peek at my outline? *G*



***snuggle79 – Okay, I just sat there for five minutes absolutely mesmerized by your avatar. Holy Yumminess, Batman!!! Wow.



***MaClayMagic – Well thanks. I like the funny. The funny is my favorite thing about the show. Well, aside from Willow and Tara, of course.



***tommo – Oooo, maybe at the weekend? Yipee for possibilities! *G* But just so you don’t feel alone, I was veeery tempted to just put them in that tent together for the whole weekend. But I wanna have a little fun with sexually frustrated Willow and Tara – especially Tara, cuz I think when it comes to libido, she’s even worse than Willow (in her own, quiet way, of course)!



***LadyLily – Yes, patience will be at a premium this trip. But fun will be had – in unexpected ways.



***Kieli – Well, I’m a fic slut, too, so I’m right there with ya! And as for control… ahem, yes, I’ll be taking the high road on that comment as well.



***shootingstar – Holy Horny Hijinks, Batman! Hehe. I guess I’m a dork, too. And as for separating them if I were really camping with them… um, I think I can’t say what naughty thoughts come to mind regarding that!



***ally02 – Just hit her once and run away? LOL. Tag, you’re it!



***bulldog tidnab – Well I’m glad you didn’t have to throw a temper tantrum! Though I’ve been known to throw a few myself… As for you being excited – it makes me happy. *G*



***KathleenWolf – Anya has that tendancy, doesn’t she? I think she’s got some unresolved wimmin issues she needs to explore… but not in this fic! Hehe.



***Wolflord – Well I’m glad you’re prepared, but as a good friend recently told me – patience is a virtue. You’ll just have to be patient… The R rating will change. Eventually. Hehe.

Awww... didn't mean to.



Yes, I am finding it funny and very endearing. I like the idea of female bonding. And I just love your Anya. I loved her in "The Guardian," and I already love her here. You have her down. So cool.



Anyway... looking forward to more.



Thank you,

Hmm patience is overrated. A good friend of mine said, "a day without smut is a like a day without air. Both very bad for you." And as for the R rating, is it going change to an X or an XX or even a XXX cause as you can see by the bounces I am all for the XXX rating. Cause I really need the smut right now....I am having withdrawals my girlfriend is out of town for the week. So need something to ...............pass the time yeah thats it.

Just caught up with this fic. While I like the idea of them going camping, I must say bad Buffy for separating our girls. I like that Tara has a plan though. Your Anya is portrayed perfectly, with the annoying petulance, and self absorption we've come to know and actually love!

Great story so far and hope to see more soon

This fic is so much fun! It was pure genius to keep Willow and Tara in separate tents. Now they're going to have to be creative

I love seeing take charge Tara. Yay for plans!



BTW, didn't get a chance to give you feedback on your first story, but I just wanted to let you know I enjoyed it a lot. You've really got a knack for these group scenes.

Buffy Series 5

[blameburner]

Okay, here y'all go. I'm not really all that sure about this part - one of those "it sounded so much better in my head" kinds of things, but oh well.



In any case, part 4 is already written and part 5 is nearly done, so there will definitely be another update tomorrow. Happy 4th of July for my fellow Americans!!! Let freedom ring!!! (okay, my blatant nationalist pride is over now - you may resume non-political banter)



-BB



Title: Into the Woods - Part 3

Author: blameburner

Feedback: Sure… Always a plus

Summary: While the men are away, the ladies will play. Anya, Buffy, Willow and Tara head into the woods for a little female bonding. Hijinks and wackiness are sure to follow.

Spoiler Warning: None - it's AU, I guess. It's sent in the present - but no big bads, no S6 nastiness. Anya and Xander are together, Giles never left, Buffy never died, Dawn still exists, Spike helps out the Scoobies cuz he gets paid, and Willow and Tara never broke up since Willow was never addicted to magic. Pretty much think "Everyone's happy, together, and their usual amusing selves."

Disclaimer: Not my characters, but oh how I wish they were! Joss, blah blah, ME, blah blah.

Rating: R for now. I know, I know... we'll see.

Pairings: W/T… duh. Also B and A. But not B/A cuz, well, Buffy and Anya? That would just be scary - they'd kill each other!

Angst: Huh? What angst?





Part 3



"See, isn't this nice?" Buffy asked, pulling her stick out of the fire and carefully sliding off the toasted marshmellowy goodness at the end. "Ouch, hot," she said before sliding it into her mouth.



"If I have one more marshmellow I think I'm gonna burst," Willow groaned, leaning back a little further into Tara and resting the back of her head on the blonde's shoulder.



"Awe, poor Willow. Is your tummy rumbly, sweetie? You want me to rub it for you?" Tara asked as she started rubbing small circles over Willow's stomach.



Willow sighed contentedly and closed her eyes.



"I don't get it," Anya said.



Willow cracked an eye and peered at the ex-demon. Anya was staring at the marshmellow on the end of her stick in confusion. She shook it in the air and then stopped, staring at it harder. Then she glared at it.



Willow was curious now, and sat up to watch Anya's antics. As did Tara. And Buffy.



"Grrr," Anya growled, and then shook the stick violently, so hard that the marshmellow slipped off the end of the stick and flew right at Buffy's head. Only her Slayer reflexes saved Buffy from gooey marshmellow face.



"Hey!" Buffy complained, but Anya ignored her, instead looking helplessly at Willow. The redhead thought Anya looked very much like a child whose ice cream scoop fell off the cone and splatted all over the sidewalk.



"I don't understand!" Anya said hysterically, her lower lip trembling as tears welled in her eyes. "Am I doing something wrong?"



Willow's amusement faded as she saw just how upset Anya was - though she still had no idea what Anya was upset about. Willow got up and walked over to the shopkeeper, kneeling down in front of her.



"Anya, what's wrong?" Willow asked softly.



"I put the marshmellow on the stick. I put the stick in the fire. The fire charred the marshmellow with a satisfying sizzle. But then... nothing. Nothing happened," Anya whined, her lip still trembling. "What did I do wrong?"



Willow was very confused. "Um, Anya? What was supposed to happen?"



"The book said that after the successful charring of the marshmellow, there would be a sandwich-type construct made with chocolate and sweet crackers. Where is it?" Anya asked pitifully. "I must have done something wrong."



Willow would have laughed if Anya hadn't been so pitifully serious. "Oh, Anya, you mean S'mores?"



"Yes! S'mores! That's what the book said would happen!" Anya said excitedly. "Why didn't they appear?"



Buffy giggled. Anya's lip started trembling again when she saw the Slayer laughing. Buffy wasn't laughing long, however, because Willow shot her a look she had hardly ever seen come from the redhead - especially not on Anya's behalf.



Buffy turned to Tara for help, but the blonde witch was watching Willow intently, her eyes sparkling.



"Anya," Willow explained, "S'mores don't just appear out of nowhere. You have to make them."



"So I didn't roast the marshmellow incorrectly?" Anya asked hopefully.



Willow grinned. "No, actually you roasted the marshmellow just right."



Anya sighed with relief, and Willow's grin widened.



"See? Nothing to get all end-of-the-worldy over," Willow said, patting Anya on the shoulder. "We didn't bring the stuff for S'mores, but we could run to the store tomorrow and get chocolate and graham crackers if you want."



Anya smiled and nodded excitedly.



"Okay then," Willow said, rising to her feet. "Tomorrow we'll take a mini-road trip to the store and all the fixin's, and tomorrow night... S'mores!"



Anya clapped enthusiastically.



"Anya? Um, what book were you reading exactly that told you S'mores would appear?" Buffy asked tentatively, peeking at Willow out of the corner of her eye. Buffy really didn't want the redhead pissed off at her, seeing as how they were sharing a tent. The Slayer had learned early on in their friendship that cranky-Willow at bedtime meant kicking-Willow during sleeptime.



"Oh!" Anya reached down and fished around in her backpack, finally pulling out a thin red book and holding it proudly in the air.



"Camping For Vengeance Demons: A Demon's Guide To The Great Outdoors?" Buffy said disbelieveingly, reading the title. "What, no 'Camping For Ex-Vengeance Demons?'"



"Not yet. It's due out next year," Anya said, shrugging.



Willow sat back down next to Tara, still smiling at Anya. The redhead caught Tara looking at her out of the corner of her eye, and turned towards her lover. Tara was looking at her intently, and Willow's forehead crinkled in worry.



"What? What'd I do?" Willow asked hurriedly.



Tara just shook her head and smiled.



"What is it, Tara? Why are you looking at me like that?" Willow asked, confused.



Tara reached over and took Willow's hand, bringing it up to her lips. She grazed Willow's knuckles with her lips, and then brought their hands down to her lap, covering them with her other hand.



Willow cocked her head, relieved but still not understanding. Tara's mouth curved up into her trademark lopsided grin, and she dipped her head down shyly.



Willow dipped her head down as well so she could catch Tara's gaze and spoke softly. "What is it, baby?" she asked.



Blue eyes met green, and Willow gasped at the intense love she saw there.



"You," Tara said simply.



"Me?" Willow asked, her voice squeaking slightly.



Tara nodded.



"Me, what?"



Tara nodded toward Anya, who was now sitting next to Buffy, the two women seemingly having a contest of who could roast a marshmellow faster. Willow followed Tara's line of sight, and then turned back to her lover, who was once again staring right into her soul.



"You amaze me," Tara said, brushing her thumb over the back of Willowhand.



Willow wanted to ask Tara what she was talking about, but the feel of Tara's hand stroking her own was sending a warm flush throughout her body. The nerve endings of her hand felt like they were on fire. It never ceased to amaze her how the simplest touch from the blonde could light such an intense flame within her body.



A soft chuckle pulled Willow out of her Tara-reverie, and the redhead realized her jaw had gone slack. She swallowed hard and tried to regain control of her thudding heart.



"Uh... amaze you? Why?" Willow finally asked.



"You have the most amazingly loving heart," Tara answered.



Willow's brow furrowed once again in confusion, until she looked over at Anya once again.



"Oh," Willow said as she turned back to her lover, finally understanding. She shrugged. "Well, I don't hate her all the time."



Tara chuckled again. "Sweetie, you don't hate her at all. You like to act like you do, because that's your thing. Yours and Anya's. But you don't hate her. You like her."



"Tara!" Willow said loudly, then lowered her voice. "Don't you dare tell her that. In fact, tell no one. Or else."



Tara quirked up her eyebrow. "Or else, what?" she challenged.



Willow grinned. "Or else I'll do naughty things to you with my tongue."



Tara shivered, her eyes darkening as thoughts of Willowtongue filled her mind.



"Is that supposed to be a threat?" she asked huskily, scooting closer to Willow so that their faces were only inches apart.



Now it was Willow's turn to shiver.



"Oh no, baby. That's a promise," Willow answered.

"And remember... if you hurt her I will beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer's nobody's friend. Have fun!"

I loved Anya in this part. She's so funny. That probably is something she would do, too.
