New Fic: Contentment

[mtnlaurel]

Sorry for those of you who read that first update...I had to edit for a really dumb mistake I made in the origional text. If I were really lucky, you were caught up in the moment and missed it.

Capricrnmist: Don't even mention the H-word in my presence again...okay, so that, in my fake scathing voice would have sounded mean and intimidating but then I'd grin and you'd know I was just joking. Grr...so much expression lost!



I liked the Grrrr, and it did make me shiver, only not in an "i`m scared way" *sexy grin*



Wow this fic just keeps getting better, I love it! So romantic, so loving, so *sigh great.

My grrrs are like, chihuahua-sized growls. Not so very intimidating at all...they make people laugh in fact. It's my natural adorableness--that's my word anyhow--and perhaps my hundred pound form that give people that impression of me.

a picture is worth a thousand words so can I take your's cause your beauty has totally erased my dictionary ~My line, after taking way to many cute girls photos for my college's newspaper~ ;)


Love didn’t listen
It only hears what it wants to hear
Two hearts beating as one
The odds were against ‘em
Oh but they had something on their side
When doubt said it can’t be done
Love didn’t listen

Laurel Just wanted to drop a line and say I love this story. Been following it since you first posted and I am in AAWWW!!!!! The way you write Willow and Tara --simply breathtaking!!!

Love It!!! Eagerly awaiting the next update....

[jdcioffi]

Oh my. That was so sweet. I love the sensitivity in each character. Their insecurities are so true to what so many feel in that pre-"I love You" time.



So wonderful ...

I have to agree with....uhm...the person who thanked you for giving Tara glasses (can't remember the name) Looks amazing on her (on Amber)



And the letter was so sweet *sigh* Cant wait to get such a letter myself

Damn, there are a lot of these things...no more procrastination. (If I miss someone, I’m sorry!!! If I reply to someone twice, good for you. If I only reply to you once, and you posted a few times, good, cause that’s how I intended to respond!) Off we go:



Jdcioffi: You’ve been posting since the beginning of this thing (only a week ago?!?) Thanks! and “tele” –that cracks me up every time I hear it b/c it just doesn’t sound right coming out of my mouth. Love that. Sorry, I digress.



Willow420: That thing we were talking about...I might have a little something in mind.



Tinkcrzy1972: Thanks so much for posting! Happy to have you in the “Contentment family”.

yeah, whatever that meant.



Lynz: All these blessed wannabes coming out of the shadows—Wow!!! hugs enthusiastically



Drakkenfyre: Woo damn Hoo for me and You. Milestone evening for us, huh. Shall we celebrate?



TrueXena: Don’t run too far, more is soon to come!!!



The Rose24: “soaking up courage”... “romp in the pond”—that was good!



LeatherQueen: I only sit and smile at your comment.



hopico99: You know what? I keep having to read and reread this story myself. I bet I have you beat!! I have to go get those dang smiley things.



blameburner: Thanks for the suggestion! Are you finished with the Guardian yet?



LLC2: WooHoo! I’m honored. (hey, you wanna get in on the GA girl only game of “Where’s W/T? ) Think where’s Waldo, but more fun than that.



Tommo: I’m so glad you caught that scene...I was hoping it would be just “right”.



Xita: The little southern lady blushes at the attention being paid by Ms. Moderator Fantastico...wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for you.



VampNo12: Look at you all posting large stuff in this thread—I so appreciate your insight/reflections. Thanks!



Willowfan: Thanks for the nod on the characterization—I worried about that for a while.



mollyig: I just see your name and smile...always good to see you around making comments!!! I smile at the thought.



OKAY! I’m running out of time! I’m sorry! Sivi27, Pikescoob, pleasantlyblue, WillowTarafan98, Wiccan Magic, capricorn mist (oh, I already responded to you)...wow all, thanks for your comments!!!!



Katharyn, you know how I feel about you!



Much love, Kittens. Eyes hurt now. Must take a nap. See you all tonight!



HEY: in case you read this and missed the memo...there will be 3 total updates for the last twenty four hours. check to make sure you didn't miss anything cause i lied and messed up the whole schedule of events (completely unrepentant though.)



Laurel.

[VampNo12]

Mtnlaurel I really loved this part! The line in the beginning where Tara asks ("Wil? Tell me about your dreams... I mean, I know what you do, an-and I know that you're great at your job, but what are your dreams? Why do you wake up each morning? What have you always wanted to do?") captures what true living is really all about. In other words, Willow really couldn't answer the question because she has been going through life doing what she was good at (ie learning/computers), but not living life to the fullest.



The same could be said for Tara and I love how she conveyed this to Willow by talking about what the word contentment meant in reference to not only the camp, but as a feeling. Meaning, Tara knew she cared about people/kids and wanted them to be happy, but it wasn't until Willow came into her life that the "contentment" resonated with her (ie with Willow she is now content/happy). Lastly, when Tara finally told Willow she loved her, and Willow reciprocated, I loved the line by Willow "I want to dream with you for the rest of my life." Keeping this in mind, W&T now have a "real" lives, and they want to find joy/love/fulfillment with each other. Looking forward to the rest of the updates!

I caught sight a picture floating around with Amber Benson in glasses and just had to write it in there somehow. Yeow! Glad you like

[Lindy]

I especially enjoyed how Willow thaught about taking that glasses off to kiss Tara.. oh my...



And the pond scene was so damn sexy, left me nearly as dumbstruck as Tara herself..



This story is so lovely..

Beautifully written as always.



I started to panic during that last update as the story seemed to be heading to its conclusion, what with the explanation of Contentment and all.



I feel infinitely cheerier now that I see there's more updates a-coming.



Thanks.

[Drakkenfyre]

Well my lady, as always, you have touched me with your writing. I am always astounded by your honesty and care with the characters. You are a writer beyond compare. The glasses, Orion. I could go on..but I digress. Yes, I think we should celebrate. Dinner and dancing is in order. But I have miles to go before I sleep. As always, Tanniyn.

[LeatherQueen]

Ah, that was splendid! And they finally told each other how they feel. So very sweet... Once again, I gotta tell you, I'm totally loving this story. It's so wonderful.

Just a thought...I always hate books/stories that end with the beginning of loving--the beginning of life together. Shall I continue? Or should I just start "another" fic. I just have this theory, I guess, that the fun has just started. There's much more in my little mind. There will be AT LEAST two more posts...what do you all want?

Laurel

[molsongrrrl]

continue on! if you have more -- we'll be happy to go where you lead -- well at least i know i will ...

A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants

[VampNo12]

Mtnlaurel I say continue on if you have many more ideas for this story!

[Lynz]

I'd really like you to keep goin with this, i'm really into the fic, and since the characters are in a different setting, i feel like you've added a whole new depth to them. it'd be great it you pursued with it, but at the end of the day it's your choice.I wonder if some gentle persuasion would help,

PLEEEEEEEEAAAASSSSSSE?!?!

[Karzia]

Add my vote to continue I agree for the most part stories that end with the declaration of get on my nerves just a bit. This story begs to be continued, I for one would like so see who the deal with the "Man" as they set up a school headed by an open lesbian. There are lots and lots of possiblities to take this story, so please go on

I started reading this fic last night and I just couldn't stop. Lost a good couple of hours of sleep but I went to bed with a huge smile on my face.



It's so lovely! You write our girls so well, their reactions, their feelings for each other, the way they see life, their dreams... *sigh* Wonderful.



I'm loving every single word of this masterpiece, please, keep writing it!!!! And make it very, very long!!!



I always loved AU fics and I also love our girls and the outdoors... there are just so many *interesting options, you know? I think now, more than ever, we need more and more AU fics, so we can forget about Sunnydale for a while.



Thank you for this wonderful masterpiece!

Sheila
