Fic: The Artifact (AU) (Updated July 7 2009)

[Imperfectly Me]

Great update, but man, this sexual tension is like to kill me soon. Can we have them get over it and get it on soon? pleeeeaseee?

Who were you then? And who are you now? That you think you can figure it all out, the mathematics of regret. It takes two beers to remember now, and five more to forget. That I love you so..what. Yeah I love you so..what.

[Axel Avalon]

Great update.This story is so wonderfuly written. I just wish that

THEY BOTH GET A DAMN CLUE!!!!!!!

I mean I can't take it any longer.







It's ok, I'm alright just needed to get that out.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, goddess, this is driving me nuts. Absolutely nuts. But... why the frilly heck won't Tara let herself come while Willow's asleep? Much easier on the clothes than jumping into the river. Ah, poor Tara... I wanna give her a clue! I wanna I wanna I wanna!



...okay, no temper tantrums...

Willow: Hey Buff. One more thing. Buffy: Yeah? Willow: I’m gay. Buffy: Okay, Will. Xander owes me ten bucks.

Ok now that is some serious sexual tension! Damn why isn't there a cold river in here that I can throw myself into? Looking forward to more and I am glad that the poison is leaving Willow's system ok.

So, the day started and I knew my name and had my pants on. So far, so good. Yay.

[allykat]

That... was.... hot!!! Excellent update!

Poor Tara, though... The frustration!!!

Willow's so cute!!! Dancing pillars and spheres??



Keep up the amazing work!!

[Marilda]

AHHH!!!!



::Marilda wants resolution darnit!!::: I want kissing and hugging!! Sooooo frustrated right now

[The Rose24]

That. Was. Flippin.' Hilarious.



I understand why Tara didn't want to..., shall we say, release. She wants it to be at a special time. Like when they are looking into each other's eyes, kissing and caressing while expressing their love to one another. She wants it to be special for both of them and when they are both awake.

Tara: My heart doesn't stutter.


Tara: Willow, I got so lost.

Willow: I found you. I will always find you.

OMG...it´s getting worse and worse...poor Tara...this is cruelty...

a hot red head all over her and no chance to enjoy it...

but lets see how Tara will feel when Willow is awake and all over her...that will be very interesting...

I´ll have to make sure there is lots of cold water around !!!!!!!!!!!! SMILE



GREAT UPDATE...GREAT FIC...GREAT SABINA

[xita]

Oh man, what a cruel, cruel dream for Tara that is. Willow's quirky mind would dream that but god the reenaction. Poor Tara indeed. But dude, I think if someone was into me like that even in dreams, I'd have to question whether they were not into me, I'd have to. It has to be that w/t don't want to believe it.

[TKOLove]

Hey there.



How Tara managed not to give in and wake Willow up by completely ravishing her is beyond me. I mean, jeez.



Kidding aside, I do understand why Tara wouldn't let herself "go" that way. It wouldn't be fair to Willow for one thing.



These women have it so etched in their minds that no one could possibly love them, it's sad. But I see good things in their future together.



Another fun chapter, Sabina!

...when we find That Kind of Love...

[barnabasvamp]

Wow!!

By the time these girls get together, we may be as frustrated as they are!



Great update!

[willow fan7]

YES! YES! YES! An Update! But No! No! No!, that was pure evil, to Tara and also the readers! Damn! How can someone take that much frustration? Poor poor Tara. Gotta admire her for 'holding it in' for sooo long.



Absolutely loved the update. Count on Willow to have such, shall we say, 'interesting' dreams. "Throbbing" *snickers*



Lol...Am glad that they're making progress...in the mask-hunt...but I would be absolutely overjoyed if they made progress in their personal life. But all in good time...



Another update soonish?

[michellesflute]

Wow, that was intense, poor Tara!!

Who would have known that such a boring dream can have an effect like this

Great update

Can't wait till the next one!!

[shuyaku]

I totally agree with barnabasvamp - I'm not sure who is going to more frustrated by the time they finally get together, them or the readers of this wonderful story.



One of the future challenges is going to have to require nakedness or snuggles or smoochies or something - I mean aren't the only 2 people who can break the curse on this magical adventure supposed to soulmates? So far neither Tara nor Willow are aware of this particular criteria, so they're gonna have to find out about it sooner or later. I'd vote for sooner, but I'm pretty sure that's not part of your scheme



Great update, more soon please

Hi everyone



First and as always thank you to everyone who has been reading my fic.

And specially thank you to all of the kittens who have been reading and replying to my story. Your feedback always brightens my day



I wanted to post a new chapter today since it is my birthday ( ) and I wanted to do what I could to make everyone happy (modest much? ) but this last week was a little crazy and I didn’t write much so I won’t be able to update the artifact today.



And also I don’t think I’ll write much this weekend, I’m going out with some friends today and tomorrow I have a family party to attend. Apparently my mother thought that my twentieth birthday was a good occasion to do a family gathering

I complain a lot but deep down I kind of enjoy being with all my aunts and uncles



So between my friends, my family and my hangover I probably won’t be able to even come close to my computer



Once again that was probably a lot more information than you were interested in reading

Anyway I’ll try to update next Wednesday or Thursday.

Thank you all for reading







Grimlock72 I’m glad you liked Willow’s dream

Tara is madly in love and she wants more than just coming from rubbing herself on Willow while she is sleeping. She wants to make love with a very awake Willow and she won’t settle for anything less than that.

Tara’s hasn’t had a fun life and her always degrading herself in her mind is a defence mechanism. If you think that nobody is ever going to love you than it won’t hurt so much to be alone, it won’t hurt so much to find out that the one you love doesn’t love you back.



Now about the traps… Well, they both read the documents Steve Jenkins gave them and although they were modified I think they both have a notion that this temple is a challenge. One meant to be tough but not impossible to ensure that the artifact in the end falls in the right hands.

Thanks for reading Grimlock. It always brings a smile to my face when I see your replies You take the time to analyse everything and your replies always help me to think things through



ExtraFlameh Candlelit Lol. Yeah, I think you can say frustration… It kind of sums up the last chapter pretty well.

But I promise I won’t be teasing everyone forever, so no need to bring out the

Next chapter will bring the teasing down a notch, or probably two.

Thank you



Imperfectly Me Thank you I promise they will get a clue and get together sometime soon.



Axel Avalon Thank you I know I’m taking a really long time to get them together, but the fic isn’t even half way done and I promise that they will get together soon and then hopefully I can make it up to you for all the teasing on the second half of the fic



bluewillowitch Thank you Yeah, Willow and Tara always belong together and I intend to get there soon.



Tempest Duer Hey Tempest You’re not really going nuts are you? Tara coming from rubbing herself on Willow while she was asleep wouldn’t be fair to Willow and Tara is too much in love with that redhead to do that to her. Besides Tara craves the connection, the love that she can only feel if they make love and… both of them are awake and aware of what they are doing

They will both get a clue soon. Thank you for reading



Puff Thank you Lol. Yeah, sometimes I wish I had a cold river near my computer too… Instead of that bucket of ice that I always use



allykat Thank you I thought that the dancing pillars and spheres would be funny. I’m glad you liked the whole Willowdream



Marilda Hi Marilda Lol. Kissing and hugging on the way… Really… I promise we are getting close to smoochies



The Rose24 Thank you I’m glad you thought this chapter was funny.

You are right about why Tara wouldn’t let herself come in that situation. She is in love and won’t settle for anything less than making love with Willow.



irishlassie101 It is getting worse and worse. In a way this chapter was the teasing climax (I hope I’m making some sense… Lol) before they get together.

I think the Earth will move when they finally make love… (I just hope I can pull that off *gulp*)

Thank you



xita Yeah, Willow’s dream was a bittersweet torture for Tara.

Since Willow’s dream was absolutely innocent Tara didn’t even thought that it could mean that Willow was attracted to her. After all Willow wasn’t having an erotic dream, she was simply dreaming of pillars and spheres dancing together.

Thank you for reading xita. It is always a pleasure to see that you have replied to my fic

Oh, and by the way I love your sig



TKOLove Hi Lol. Tara’s self control is strong… And so is her ever-present fear of rejection.

You’re right that it wouldn’t be fair to Willow if Tara had let herself “go” that way. And in a way it wouldn’t be fair to Tara either, she deserves so much more than that.

Good things are coming (no pun intended… really… ah, ok maybe a little bit ) their way indeed

Thank you for replying TKOLove Your support really means a lot



barnabasvamp Thank you I hope the teasing will make the moment they finally get together that more powerful ( ).



willow fan7 Tara sure is strong… But still she won’t be able to “hold it in” forever

The mask hunt is almost over but their personal life still has a lot to progress.

Thank you for reading and liking it



michellesflute Thank you That dream sure turned out to be a lot more interesting than Willow thought it was



shuyaku Yes, it is true that only two soulmates can overcome all the challenges… Does that mean there will be traps that will require nakedness, snuggles or at least smoochies to be overcome? I’m not telling, you’ll have to keep reading to find out It would spoil the surprise if I told you

But you are right that somewhere along the story they will find out that they are soulmates

Thank you



screeminguitar Thank you



willowtree114 Hi there Welcome to the board I’m flattered that your first post was a reply to my fic

Thank you



KinKness Thank you Tara did caught the tougher end of the deal this time. Don’t worry they will get together soon

Hi Sabina!



I'm not exactly a lurker, but I've never left feedback before. Having delurked myself only recently I was planning to launch myself in the wonderful world of feedback during Christmas break, but since it's your birthday, I couldn't refrain from wishing you a happy B-day!

And, since I'm already here... I loved your fic from the very first chapter. You had me hooked as soon as I understood that "two heart beating as one" wasn't supposed to be taken metaphorically, and since then I've never been disappointed (frustrated, yes, but that's another matter...).

Have a wonderful weekend, I'll be eagerly awaiting the next chapter!



~Spighy~

[Tempest Duer]

Nah, I'm not going crazy... and I guess you're right. I can't expect Tara to apply common sense when it comes to things like love.

Willow: Hey Buff. One more thing. Buffy: Yeah? Willow: I’m gay. Buffy: Okay, Will. Xander owes me ten bucks.

[ExtraFlameh Candlelit]

Okay, first and foremost, Happy Birthday! Late or not I said it! Now for my happy almost Wednesday Dance...



*sings* It's almost Wednesday! *bounces several times like so: * It's almost Wednesday! *Spins and gets a little dizzy* It's almost Wednesday! *Does the Banana Dance like so: * Woohoo! It's almost WEDNESDAY! *finishes it up with another round of bounces: *



Ah yes, and Wednesday means probably update!! So then, I can't wait for the update, that better be tomorrow! Cuz then I might have to make a Thursday Dance and well...I really can't dance! Plus doing two dances in a row... That's a big no no ! Okie dokie tomorrow this will be me: Because Sabina shall give us kittens an awesome, nifty cool update because that's just how great she is!



-Ellen

[Taras Shadow]

Sabina!



First of all, Happy Belated Birthday! *does the birthday dance*



Second of all, I can't believe I have never left feedback for this story! I'm so in love with it and I love Tomb Raider... it'd be so cool to be a Tomb Raider, I always found that sort of thing so interesting!



Angelina kicked ass being Lara Croft... but you know, not just because I'm a die hard fan of Tomb Raider games, the occupation and movies, this fic has really heightened my interest.



Having this as a Willow and Tara fan fic, it's a genius idea! I give all the to you.



The sexual frustration between these two women is so unbearable...you have done one hell of a job keeping me on my toes and at the end of my seat.



Again, I'm sorry for not leaving feedback earlier. I have been keeping up to date with every update and I will continue to do so.



Keep up the awesome job! I love muchly!
