(Fic) Nobody messes with my girl (spoilerish)

[Wiccagrrl]

Don't own 'em, don't have any money, please don't sue me

Possibly spoilerish (Or maybe I should I say rumorish, since I don't really want to dignify some of these with the term "spoilers")

PG13, if that.

Very silly little fic. What would our girls think if they could see some of what's said about them on the net?

"Oh, not again!!!" Tara heard her frustrated partner say with a sigh. It was late, well after midnight, and Willow was sitting at the computer again. Tara stretched and got out of bed.

"Honey, you're not still hanging around those message boards, are you?" Tara asked. It had been months since they'd found the strange websites and message boards somehow dedicated to their lives. It had been very strange seeing all the comments about them. Some flattering- sometimes embarrassingly so. Some, well...not. It was completely bizarre, but probably no more so than any number of events that had happened in Sunnydale. They couldn't believe the millions of posts dedicated to whether or not Spike could ever really be one of the good guys. And there seemed to be fans of just about every romantic pairing possible in Sunnydale. But there was one type of post that always seemed to get Willow's blood boiling.

"Another one of those rumors that I'm gonna kick it, huh?" Tara said with a laugh in her voice.

Willow nodded, sad and frustrated.

"What does it matter?" Tara asked. "It's silly."

"It matters to me. I don't like it!" Willow replied.

Tara put her arms around Willow's waist and pulled her in for a kiss. "Do I seem dead to you?"

Willow smiled, melting a bit. "That's not the point." Willow said with a pout. "It's mean."

"Well, I don't think they're all trying to be mean. And those people at that site called the Kitten Board seem to like me, and you, and us well enough." Tara said.

"And what's not to like?" Willow teased. "They definitely seem to appreciate your charms, that's for sure." Tara blushed.

"I don't think it's just me they like, Will." Tara said. "Oh, and those writers everyone keeps talking about...Joss and, um...what was her name?"

"Marti?"

"Yeah, Marti. They had some pretty nice things to say about us. 'Course Joss also said he though I was gonna turn out to be a Wood Sprite..." Willow laughed. "Honey, let it go. Shake it off, turn off the computer, and come to bed. I promise to make you forget all about it"

"Vixen" Willow teased.

"You better believe it."

"Ok, I'll be right there." Willow promised, giving Tara a long, sweet kiss. Tara went off to bed. Willow whispered something in Latin, and around the world a small but vocal group of Buffy fans found themselves small, green, and croaking.

"I'll show them Big Bad. Nobody messes with my girl!" Willow said with a satisfied smile.

And a bit of a challenge. If anyone wants to expand on this idea, write any more scenes with W/T discovering the online Buffyverse, please feel free to add a scene

That was just too cute. And she's right about the people on the kitten board liking them.

[CaptMurdock]

Okay...going into the darkest corner of Geekdom...self-referential crap. Don't say I didn't warn you!

*******

"I-I-I would never do that!" Tara cried, looking at one of the many 'fanfics' on a board dedicated to the, um, steamier side of their relationship.

Willow looked over her shoulder at the Obsidian website. "Baby, don't get upset. You know, these people are, like, projecting some of their fantasies onto us. That's not you, really."

"It, It's still my name they're using, and-and-and yours," Tara replied. "I don't mind reading smut--" Willow looked bemused at that, and the blonde witch had to do some serious backpedaling. "In-in moderation. But couldn't they at least write about us, um, together, like we are? Not all, I dunno, handcuffs and horsewhips?"

"Where?" Willow cried, intrigued, leaping forward to read what was on the screen. Tara glared and pulled the laptop screen almost closed. The redhead sat back with a grin on her face. "Just kidding, hon. You and me aren't into that stuff. I mean, we're not Spike and Buffy, for cryin' out loud!"

Tara winced. "Oooh, don't go there. You should see some of the-- No, no you shouldn't." She sighed, then pulled open the laptop again. "I mean, I prefer the type of stories that are about us, as we really are, all the day-to-day stuff that we do as a couple, the shopping, the occasional picnic in the woods, just being together, y'know?"

Willow nodded. "Me too. There are some sites like that. Lemme show ya." A few URLs later and they had a site where the board members posted their stories and critiqued other members' efforts. "This webpage rocks! And I love the name!"

Tara frowned. "Well, yeah, but we dress a lot better these days! Well, you do. And, y'know, we really need to find Miss Kitty...she's been missing, like, forever!"

"Yeah yeah yeah, but look at these! Good stories on this section-- Hey! Are they making fun of my insane note-taking system?"

Tara crinkled her nose. "Quirky." She looked at the titles. "Wow. Lots of stories."

"Here's one I found, it's a sort of retrospective, going back to Our Early Days!"

Tara read the story, which really did present a marvelous picture of her thoughts during her initial meeting of Willow and that night in the laundry room where the Gentlemen trapped them. "This is really good," she said, finishing the 30-part story.

"Here's another one I found...it takes place in this alternate universe. Wait till you see..." At that point Willow decided to keep quiet and let Tara found out on her own that she...

"I'm a vampire???" the blonde witch exclaimed, eyes wide, mouth open in shock. Horrified, yet unable to turn away (because the story was so well written) she read through the entire thing. At one point tears sprang from her eyes, and she looked at Willow who sat next to her with a small smile on her face. "I sang you 'The Rose.' Oh, God, that's sweet."

Willow took her girlfriends hand. "I like the song you sang to me better. But that was a nice bit."

Tara finished the alternate-universe story off, then skimmed through several others, some by Willow's suggestion, others by title. There were a lot dealing with the interval during Buffy's death and the aftermath of Glory, and several recent stories detailing the recent separation the couple had endured. The two lovers read some of these, holding hands as some passages stirred up emotions that were painful in their virisimilitude.

"Makes me glad that we were able to work things out," Willow said, drawing close to Tara, the remnants of tears on her cheeks. Tara nodded, not trusting herself to words, and leaned in to kiss her true love.

"I'm, uh, kinda storied-out," Tara said, leaning her forehead against Willow's.

"Yeah, me too. Oh, well, then there's this guy," she added, pointing to a particular member.

"What's with that name?" Tara asked. Though as she thought about it, a lot of the names that the members chose for themselves were somewhat obscure.

"I think he's seen too much Star Trek, or maybe The A-Team. But look at these stories of his!"

Tara scrolled down through the story sections, and looked at the comments that other board members had left in response. "I dunno, other people seem to like his stuff."

"Yeah, it's okay, but it seems like every other story, you and me, we get a cake or shaving cream in the face! I mean, who is this guy, the Three Stooges' love child!"

Tara smiled. "Well, sweetie, like you said, they're just stories."

Willow moved off, to change into her jammies for bed. "Good thing. I have a few shreds of dignity that I like to keep, if the world doesn't mind."

Tara at this point was thinking of a funny surprise to spring on Willow at her next birthday. Laughing quietly to herself, she replied, "You can count on my help there."
