FF: Unexpected Consequences

[Scout]

First, I love being called a mitten (I have no idea why, so don't ask).

Second, the fact that you've got lots of ideas for UC makes me all excited, so I can wait for an update.

Third, 'Second Chance' was wonderful and worth a delay in the next UC posting.

Conclusion: all is right with the world.

[ellenfan]

I know everybody will hate me now, because they hope there´s a new update. Sorry! But I really felt the need to add my comment on this story now. As always, Lisa, I´ll take my had off to you and bow. This is sooo great. I spent the whole day reading all that there is so far, and I have to say, I NEED MORE! But of course, take your time, I´ll be patient....

I was taken aback a little bit, because I thought the story was over after Tara had destroyed Rack´s place, and then suddenly there was this whole new storyline. But now, I´m just really curious where you are heading with this.

But, I can wait...

Hi everyone!
Here is the next chapter.
I hope you like it.
Oh, there might be a ... Cliffhanger.
Enjoy,
Lisa
Thanks for all the awesome feedback! You guys really help me during long days. I swing by between classes, and there are always so many sweet comments to make me smile. http://www.quiknet.com/~lcountry/uncon27.html

[Kiwiccan]

Yahoo!!! It's for real. There really is a new chapter! No saying finally, nope not me I would never say IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

Thank Lisa.

I am all with the "woo" and the "hoo"! Yeah! A Lisa update! *Does a happy dance* What can I say that I haven't already said, except that this was great. Now how long do I have to tap my heels and point to my watch before the next update? No pressure or anything! (hurryhurryhurry!) Just kidding. Of course you know us mittens will wait as long as it takes.

Willow and Tara's Love

[LeatherQueen]

Oh Lisa! Your most faithful mittens are gleeful now that you have graced us with another chapter. And a wonderful one it was, too.

And Buffy cracked me up when she said:

"Because I do not want to be hardwired into the Wiccan porn channel. There are some things I can go all of my three lives without seeing, and Willow and Tara stirring each other’s caldrons definitely goes in that category."

*sigh* Just what I needed in order to make it through another work-week.

Way to go Lisa! Thanks for the chapter! I am so happy that the story is continuing on!

Enjoy your day and don't forget to bring your favorite mittens!

Damn. That was fantastic. Absolutely perfect. Tense and suspenseful and funny as hell. Especially:

"So … are you telling me that cowlicks are just your hair’s way of remembering some 80s hairdo?"

This story makes me happy. Thank you, Lisa.

[MadeinNZ]

That was a wonderful chapter. The possibilities are endless.

[Thanatopsis]

Another chapter. Like manna from heaven.

"Okay, so starting tomorrow, I let Tara use my body." She blushed and let out a long sigh. "Okay, that came out sounding more like Anya than I meant it to."

This gave me a good laugh and earned me some looks from those around me.

"Oh, Buffy," he called out. When she turned he looked calmly at her. "You won’t have access to any of Tara’s memories, but if she were to say… reminisce in her mind … you would be privy to all the details." He smiled pleasantly and climbed into the car.

Buffy stared blankly ahead as Giles started the car. "Well, why would she think about that?" she asked almost to herself.

"It will be fine," he assured her. "So long as no one … say … were to ask her … how was your afternoon?" His eyes got a devilish glint.

"You wouldn’t!" Buffy’s jaw dropped.

"No, of course not," he said with a wicked smile.

"Giles!" Buffy whined. "No calling forth the Wiccan porn in my brain! I can’t even change the channel."

"I’m quite certain it won’t involve any caldrons, though I can’t promise there won’t be some rather racy stirring."

"You’re an evil man," Buffy said as she leaned against the window and watched the trees blur as they passed them.

Oh, geeze! That was EXCELLENT!!!!!! I could just imagine Giles doing something like that!!! Shocking it would be () but funny...I'd probably have to go to the Emergency Room to get my ribs repaired.
I can't wait for the next update, but until then I'm going to read it from the begining...agian.

Awesome! Simply awesome. Words fail me - you're taking me/us on a fabulous journey!

Wow...just wow!
The dialogues are amazing! Specialy Giles and Buffy's...*made me laugh quite a lot* I can so picture them talking like that! So fine! Oh yes.
Another great chapter Lisa

[nika]

Another wonderful chapter. Buffy and Giles had me cracking up, that stirring of caldrons line won't leave my brain for quite some time I'm sure.

"Wow, Giles is prescribing sex. How come I never get ordered to go get a happy?"

(hee hee) There were so many great lines in this installment and that was just one example. Wonderful update - thoroughly enjoyed it!

Much thanks!

[katydid]

I will just go with a short and simple wow. Excellent chapter! I can't wait to see where you are going with it. And the Buffy and Giles converstation torwards the end...lmao!!

[willow_thebadasswitch]

Love the conversations between Buffy and Giles!!

So Amy can think some after all. I'm not liking the looks of those witches, though. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Excellent chapter, oh great Lisarificus. *bows*

[wiccachica]

Lisa....

You continue to amaze me and keep me wholly entertained...

I have a very lively imagination and reading your fic is like enjoying a full-fledged show during the week...

I send KUDOS to you for making the characters so real...and so entrancing!

Thanks!

[aladdin]

Woo, that was quite high on the awesome scale. And I was so happy to finally see an update again, and then such a good one.

I really really hope, Will and Tara manage to talk to each other about several things instead of 'protecting' the other and then, face the death of their daughter. The bedroom scene left me a little bit worried.

Another thing I had to think about, was: Everyone's biggest concern is that Buffy gets Tara's feelings for Willow, or as you so nicely put it: "I get the hots for Willow." Yes, that might be complicated but it wasn't the first thing in mind when I read that Buffy was about to share Tara's emotions...Tara just lost her's and Willow's child, and Buffy will partake in the feelings Tara must have now. She just lost her daughter! The grief and the pain would be more frightening than some, uhm, non-Catholic-school-nun-feelings for Willow. Especially for Buffy who recently lost her Mom and then died herself, for the second time. To be confronted with Tara's pain which just has to be there after everything that happened, is a much bigger challenge.

But maybe that's just me. I'll go downstairs and watch OMWF again. Can't wait for the next installment.

Yay! Yay! Happy dance time! Update! Yay!

Okay I've got that out of my system now... Lisa, do you KNOW how to write a story without a cliffhanger? I can't wait until they switch bodies, it should be VERY interesting.

[bearskeeper]

Woohoo, yeehaw, and a big PAR-TAY!!!!! This was the best installment thus far, IMHO. You had everything in here - comedy (BUffy and Giles cracked me up!), drama (uhoh. big bad witches council in town), and a bit of everything else that makes a story wonderful! I bow down to Lisa the Great! PROUD TO BE A MITTEN!!!!!!

[Puff]

Ok that was damn funny Lisa, I loved the Buffy/Giles scenes and the Willow/Tara scene was lovely. I can't wait to see what Tara thinks about

YES! *busts out with the funky grooves* We got an update! We got an update! AAh...wonderful. I laughed my ass off at the exchange between Buffy and Giles. *narrows eyes* I'm really curious and a bit wary about what will happen with the witches council. I have a hard time trusting anyone who does't coordinate color into their wardrobe in one way or another. *grins and bows* Hail the great Lisarificus!

Thank you for all the wonderful comments!
Just thought I'd let you know that I had today off... So... I finished another chapter! It's at my editors right now. I'll post it ASAP!
I'm glad so many people liked the Buffy & Giles section. BTW... This new chapter just happens to address many of the concerns y'all mentioned.
Lisa
I'll do an edit with the new chapter so I don't double post!
Thanks again!

Two really good updates.

Quite the little emotional rollercoaster you have us on. The scene after the peas...almost too much.

I hope you give Buffy the chance to break something other than street signs, she is looking like she needs a big emotional release as well.

So, who's athame did Tara get? I am betting it was from the last Imbolc Mage. I knew they were up to no good when they showed up together.

Wow...excellent. The cliffhangers are a little much missy....but definately hope to see it worth the worry. The whole Buffy and Tara interaction was priceless. Mental images...lol. It was just too much. And Buffy...well who wouldnt fall for Tara!

Okay, see, now Lisa, you are just being mean. I've been big cheerleader girl for this fic all this time, I've been out on the streets talking it up, I've pounded the pavement, I've clocked serious field hours, and it's been all for you baby, but now this. The cliffhangers...Lisa baby that's just not right. *grin*

I keep waiting at the end of each chapter for the Big Gay Announcer to do a voiceover and say:

"WILL TARA SURVIVE THE EVIL CLUTCHES OF THE [insert name of baddie here]? WILL WILLOW BE ABLE TO STAY ON THE WAGON AND RESCUE HER LOVE? WILL THESE CLIFFHANGERS EVER END AND OUR GIRLS LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER?

TUNE IN TOMORROW, SAME WITCH TIME, SAME WITCH CHANNEL!"

Holy smoldering athames, Wiccans! I can't take it anymore!

Ahem. Right. I simply mean to say, there WILL BE a happy ending to all this madness, right? The fic is wonderful, dahhhlink, as always, but the cliffhangers are killing me. Can't you end the next chapter with happy snuggles and baby lambs? Pleeeeeaase?

Pretty please with pancake syrup on top?

PS...fav parts this time around: the whole interchange between Buffy and Tara during the mind-meld. I was so touched. Buffy needs major TLC right now, and I love that you continue to build their relationship. Ahem. I mean their friendship. I mean their love...Buffy needs a loving family right now, just as much as Tara.

Also, the peas in the freezer. That was so very well done and moving, in a non-over-the-top way. Nice job.

Now get with the happily every after!!!!!!

*grin*

Oh GOD, Lisa! What you do to us...

The emotional roller coaster has given us soaring, new highs and then, just when you think it's all hugs and puppies, with just a few paragraphs you can make us rip our own hearts out with the pain and angst and the Oh-My-Gods!

But it will all turn out for the good, and this most worshipful, humble, devoted mitten holds you in reverence for another beautiful, beautiful chapter.

*sigh* Poor Tara...
