Some replies for the latest update. I've been meaning to ask you...do you prefer short or longer updates? Because I could post longer parts but it would take more time...I dunno, just let me know.
I've had so much fun writing what's to come...though I like angst, I love when W & T are on good terms. Not that I am giving you any spoilers...they still have a long way to go. And we have a lot of flashbacks to come if we want to know what really happened.
Well, let's get to those replies. I will be forever grateful with you guys for taking the time to share your thoughts. Without you I wouldn't even bother writing this (and I mean it). I guess I know now what every other writer has said here about the importance of feedback. Thanks again!.
Dianneswillowtree: Congratulations on your DIBS!! Hehe. So you don't like cliffhangers...I'm sorry, but I can't help it. They just come to me and there's nothing I can do about it. But I promise to update regularly so I don't leave you hanging for long, how's that? Thanks
Thianne: Cómo estás? Thanks for your thoughts. And yes, Tara made a mistake, and Dawn made a mistake by not talking to Willow and Willow made a lot of mistakes too...but we'll find out more about that later. I'm glad you're still on this ride. Thank you.
WillowRulez: Well, Dawn was hurting and struggling with her own guilt over this situation. I think it's only a natural reaction to try to put some of the blame on someone else...About what made Willow get better, well we still have to find out what happened to her, don't we? Thanks for hanging in there.
Willow Watcher: LOL. Like I said to Dianneswillowtree...cliffhangers just happen, so there will probably be more of'em in the future. Be warned. I just wanted to tell you that I've read almost all of your stories on Extraflamey and that I was thrilled to find Fire & Ice updated. Maybe we could have some of that quid pro quo stuff?? You update and I update?? How does that sound?
sam: Thank you so much for the good thoughts on the wedding, it was a wonderful day, indeed. So far everything's been wonderful, hehe. I'd like to welcome you to this semi-coherent story/trip I'm putting you all guys through and thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with me. Hope to hear from you soon.
Guppy: Yippee back at you!!! Hehe...I love your enthusiasm. No kidding about being nervous when treating people that are close to you. I try to avoid it 'cause I always think I'm gonna mess it up, either worrying to much or not worrying enough. Most of the time everything works out fine, but girl, don't I sweat!! Hehe. I agree with you, Tara needed to hear it from someone else, someone who knew how Willow took it and how she is, but also someone who loves her enough to not go overboard with it. Umm...right now Willow's in the hospital and will be for a while. If we follow the timeline, she still has to finish college and then go away to med school...so she'll be in sunnydale for a little while. Willow will go to check up on her and they'll get to talk...but just a little 'cause with Tara's recent surgery she can't really talk much. But they will, count on that. Thanks again for your kind words.
Cecile: Of course you can call me Karinna, it's my name after all. Now that I think of it I've been calling you Cecile all along and I didn't ask for permission! *blushes* Forgive me? I hope I didn't offend you or anything. I didn't mean to be rude. About Giles, well he has always been some sort of dad to all of them so he will play that role...maybe not in the right way, but what he has to say to Tara will definitely have a big impact on the future development of things re: Tara staying away for so long. I hope we can get past the angst soon and to the sweeter part of the story. Thank you so much for the wedding/honeymoon wishes, and thank you for your continuous support to this story, it really means a lot to me.
I have most of next update ready, I only need to adjust some details but I might be sending it to my beta tonight or tomorrow. So I'll try to post really soon.
Take care, kittens!!

ok I trust you but it is so good I just want to say AAAAHHHHHHH untill you next update thats all. 
I'll see what I can do.
) wanting to know what happens next. And who to blame for Tara disappearing so thoroughly out of Willow's life... was it Giles, or was it Dawn? Sure, her actions were impetuous, thoughtless, and deeply hurtful to Willow, but her motives were, I think, to cherish (in the real sense) Willow when she so obviously needed it. The Morning After brought Second Thoughts (offspring of Magical Evening and Love Struck or, possibly, Infatuated and the very old fashioned Giving IT All Away), neither of which really had a place here, but Tara needed time to work that out. She had, after all, suffered deep hurt at Willow's hands. Willow's pitiful state had let her forget that, temporarily.
There is just something very attractive about them, I'm not sure what. I can't wait for the next part of your story! I hope you don't keep us waiting too long!
demanding much, eh? heehee!! 
LOVED IT! And could you kinda hurry up on the next part. I don't want to seem impatient but I am who I am and if you could see me right now, my foot is tapping on my floor and my wife is looking at me strangely 
and it scary. So if you could update soon it would be greatly appreciated. 
Sweet update! I read this story before but I forgot the name of it and I just found it. So I can wait for the next update. (I wonder how Willow's going to react. Vice versa to Tara.)
