Fic: A Butterfly Dream of Sand and Sky (BtVS, Tara, R)

This was written many, many moons ago, back in 2003 in fact, and posted on the first journal I ever owned and I'm moving things over here in preparation for finally deleting that old one. Assuming, of course, that I can remember the password. *hee*

Forgive me, I was young.

SPOILERS: implicitly through Bargaining. Explicity: Restless
ARCHIVING: Essential-Imperfect, Buffy Fiction Archive. All others please ask.
A/N: Post-Bargaining AU. There's liberal use of Shelley, Yeats, Poe, Shakespeare, Wallace Stevens and the Bible thrown in for flavor. My many, many thanks to Moonwhip for the beta. This is the sequel to Secrets Not Long Buried
FEEDBACK: Is like air and highly addictive. In other words, yes please!
DISCLAIMER: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and all related characters belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, Warner Brothers Company, UPN, et al. I'm just taking them out for a little exercise.
SUMMARY: Sometimes Tara dreams of sand, sky and prophecies.

Fic: Fingertips (BtVS, Faith, PG)

2003 again. Way back in my newbie days in fandom. I really should be embarrassed. Heh. Gayl Jones left me with all sorts of odd dreams and half-waking thoughts. This is only one of them. Apparantly, there was also a dream in which I licked purple cough syrup off of John Crichton.

*shrugs*

Who really knows ...

So, loopy and kinda incoherent, dream-esque fic-ish kinda thing.

( The leathery wings beating in her pulse, match the cinnamon impulse in her veins. Maybe they didn't consider that this would happen when they made her, them. )

THANKS: Moonwhip, my beta. You liked this the first time around.
SUMMARY: Post-The Gift AU. Willow restores Tara, mostly.


(  Before and After are a tangle in her head. Light and dark make a pattern that flickers like a movie reel playing too fast. She cannot see the images and it bothers her. )

Fic: Secrets Not Long Buried (BtVS, Willow, PG)

It dawned on me that if I was going to post
A Butterfly Dream of Sand and Sky that I might need to put up the prequel. Way, way, way AU.

( But the truth was that Willow had failed and somehow that was the worse truth of all. )
