Fic - The One Where Everyone Has a Go

[MissQuirky]

Ooo Great job, saule77!! Ruby is evil! I'm glad Will got out of there! The song had a good meaning and i'm glad Tara listened to it!



Can't wait 2 c where the next kitten takes it!!

~Ashley~

Willow: We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know... insane.
Tara: I said quirky.

[Tawilove]

Saule77, i would never have guessed that english was not your mother language cause that was great! like all the other parts i've read from this fic, it's really a good idea and i'm impatient to read the next update!

Nothing I can do, you just took my soul with you »

saule77: WOW, awesome update!! I knew there was something wrong with Ruby...thanks for clarifying that one.



Iamyouknowyours you're up next. I can't wait!!



scans the room looking for Kathy94...Whew, safe for now...ok back to writing - I mean work, yeah I'm at work...back to work

A dream is a wish the heart makes.

Willow: "You had two eggs, sunny-side-up. I remember because they were wiggling at me like little boobs."

Tara: "Sassy Eggs."

[vix84]

That was great!! I loved how both Willow and Tara realised they needed to go and find each other....



We didn't have time, though, to see Tara get drunk and dance? *pouts* That could have been fun!



Yay, you made Ruby evil! I hoped you'd do that



edited to add: Celia, I got the hint (that u wanted Oz dead) but purposely kept him alive. I'm more cruel, I want him to 'suffer' through Willow and Tara's love (just like New Moon Rising). Sorry if I disobeyed!

-------------------------

Willow: Those darn Salem judges. With their less-satanic-than-thou attitude.

Tara: Oh, honey, let’s change it. The Discovery channel has koala bears.

Hey!! Ruby is mine!! Love the update though. Confused Willow is bad she should dump Oz and come running to Tara's arms. Oh then smoochies and snuggles.

Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love, the clarity of hatred, and the ecstacy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bare. If we can live without passion maybe we'd know some peace. But we'd be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered, and dank, With out passion we'd truly be dead. Angel in "Passion"

[kathy94]

Loving this fic more and more!!! You guys are all doing great!!!



Tazz you can't hide from me. I'm watching you!! If you're not writing I will be really upset

"Can you just be kissing me now?" Tara- Entropy

"She's my everything"
Willow-Tough Love

[tiredsoul]

That was a great part. The song choice was good and I loved Willow's thoughts in this. It's amazing how all of our minds work to push this one way or the other. It works out to be a great story.



vix84, it wasn't so much a hint. The best part of this thread is that we take it our own ways. I like your theory on his suffering though. It's got a nice evil ring to it.

[TheWhiz]

Just read parts 7 & 8, great updates Vix84 & saule77

Each chapter is flowing well. So Ruby is bad & very Faith like-hmm.. Like Willow's questioning of her feelings.

Can't wait to read next part.

more.....more.....more......I need more soon, PLEASE!!!!!!



I love this fic! You guys are awesome!!!!!



Ruby is evil........Buffy still clueless to whats going on around her.......and Willow and Tara relizing they have to find each other!



Why cant the Pens writers be the ones writing the show this season? It would be soo much better. Of course parts of it might have to be aired on HBO or Max after 10pm.



Uh....erm....um.....ok ignore the last sentence



blushing profusely Ice goes to hide and wait for next update



ICE

[ally02]

Ahhh just caught up and aaaahhhhh!!! Knife happy Ruby and her "I'll get you next time Red..." OH Maybe Faith has swapped bodies AGAIN!! OR maybe Faith has a sister and the madness was hereditory...or however you spell it...so many possiblities!! Well cant wait to read the next part!



Aly xxxx

You all didnt happen to do a bunch of drugs did ya?

[spazz07]

*Ducks head in the front door quietly, hoping no one notices his late arrival again* Great stuff saule77 you wrote it great and if its any consolation, i dont use a beta writer either, just to damn eager to post on the board sometimes Loved the direction you've taken us with evil faith like Ruby and Willow and Tara having to find each other.



Cheers

Nath

Isn't it funny how you feel your most tired five minutes before you have to get up.

[saule77]

First of all, a big Thank You to all the Kittens who gave me feedback on this part, I really appreciated. I won't give up writing just yet...



MissQuirky: Yay! I got a clap! Had a hard time deciding whether the song was a good idea or not and then deciding if this one was the right one or not! Glad it mad sense. And yes, Ruby's ...



Tawilove: Thanks for the support, hope you continue reading and have as much much doing so as we have writing it.



SlayerTazz: couldn't help but make her evil. The opportunity was too good. I think she's Faith's sister and comes to avenge everything that the Scoobies did to her (well, that's a matter of oppinion, isn't it?)

Actually, that's a good idea... If anyone ( winks to Iamyouknowyours) want to go with that, it'd be great! Then, she can go out with Riley!

OK, I digress.



vix84: Thanks for all the open possibilities you left me, first of all. I only followed a few but I made Ruby evil just for you! Tara drinking and dancing... thought about it but she'd need to do that with Willow within reach so that it could lead to... well...



Sorry, Celia but I have to agree with vix84: I didn't want to kill Oz because then, Willow would grieve and feel guilty for having feelings towards Tara with Oz's body still warm and then it would delay the Tara-snuggles and Tara-smoochies and Goddess knows we don't want THAT to happen! Look at me, I'm babbling! Glad you liked the song choice.



XWickedXWiccan: Sorry I (pretty much irremediably) turned your Ruby bad, but it had to be done! And she has nothing to do with YOUR Ruby. It's a different Ruby. A Ruby without her Trinity. Yeah, that's it Forgive me?...



kathy94: we love you for loving the story!



TheWhiz: Glad you enjoyed it! It's easier to write a good part if the writer before wrote a good part and so far, well, they all have!



iceprincess2076: Soooo, we got you hooked, huh? This fic is actually going quite fast, so keep checking! You shouldn't be disappointed.



ally02: I think it's her even more evil sister too... We'll have to see where it's taken next!



Nath, you're forgiven for arriving so late, although I have to admit I was eager to know what you thought of it. Glad you liked it... As a little reward, I would like... An update of "All you wanted"... Cheeky, I know... but I don't think I'd be the only appreciating it!





Iamyouknowyours: please have mercy and write an update soon!

Season 7: "Is this supposed to be some sort of sick joke?"
"Please continue with the story of failure"

[Centauri2002]

I have to admit I have already read your update, saule77, but I was naughty and didn't leave a comment. *offers wrist to be slapped*



So, I shall do so now... Well, you've definitely left us with an intriguing part. I like how you incorporated that song into it. That was a nice touch.



I really want to know what's up with this Ruby character but that's up to future writers now. Heck, it might even get round to my turn again and I can use her for my evil plans. Heh heh.



Anyway, nice job with that update and look forward to reading more stuff from you.

Tara: I got so lost
Willow: I found you... I will always find you

[XWickedXWiccan]

Dont worry saule77. You are totally forgiven. ................I just forgot what I wanted to ask.....oh yea who's next in line cause I'm getting antsy. Who ever is next hurry up!! Sorry if I'm bugging you but like I said antsy.

Yay! Hadn't checked this in a while and I got more feedback... BUT WHERE IS THE UPDATE???



Caz: you're forgiven. The slap on the wrist won't be necessary ... The important thing is that you eventually got round to it! Thanks! I know there are a few people due to update this before you do but if you get a chance, run with it! Make her more psychotic than Faith! : -->

*Saule77 is going mad with the emoticons...*

I'm glad you liked it. God knows I was scared enough posting!



XWickedXWiccan: I'm getting antsy too... Or maybe it's the caffeine...



Tara22 and ensam: Thanks for the support!



Spreading the to all Kittens!

**peeks in looking to see if there is an update...notes the eyes looking over this way...**



Um, HI everyone. Nath is on Holiday for a bit...I'm jealous as hell, but that is another story. If anyone needs to talk to someone about the thread and doesn't want to wait for Nath to get back - please go ahead and email me at tazz72@yahoo.com.



According to Nath's list - Iamyouknowyours is up next.



Ok, back to pretending to work for me.



Oh and Saule77 I agree - why ISN'T there a kitten emoticon?? How wrong...

Sorry to keep you all waiting, but no one emailed me (a thousand lasheds with a wet noodle) to tell me the order. I figured I had several other people before me to go. Must start writing the newest chapter right away.

Summary - Kittens choose different routes to take the story once they get a go at posting. So basically anything could, would & should happen throughout



Part Eight



Tara was torn. To help Oz meant throwing away the only chance of her and Willow getting together. But to not help Oz? Good Goddess, she wasn't a monster. Not like so many who resided in Sunnydale. Besides, how could she even think that Willow wanted her? Shy, little stuttering Tara? Insecurity engulfed her. Willow was straight. Any attraction had purely been in her own mind. The kiss was a fluke. It would no doubt ruin their friendship. For Tara, the decision was made.



She would do the spell.



The most important thing to Tara was that Willow was happy. No matter what unhappiness that caused Tara herself, they both needed to follow their hearts.



"I'll d-do the spell," Tara said. "But I can't do it alone. I n-n-need Willow. To help. Together we're st-strong."



There was more going on there than met the eye, Buffy realized. Tara was behaving so strangely about the whole ordeal. The Slayer hoped that it was not demon prejudice and made a mental note to avoid all talk of her unconventional dating habits until the situation had been felt out further. "Great. Let's get you two wiccans set up right away. Speaking of witch, where's Will?"



                        *        *        *

"So, a surprise huh?" Willow was having second thoughts. Surprises on the Hellmouth tended to be of the nasty kind. Willow's assessment of the situation was both right and wrong.



"I got something special, just for you." Ruby reached into her hand bag. She fished around and slowly pulled out ... a chapstick, which she applied to her lips. "It's called information. This guy I'm fu-dating happened to mention something about a Daniel Osborn. That's your boy toy, right?"



Guilt plagued Willow's senses. But who was she really feeling guilty about, Tara or Oz?



"Yes. He was, is my boyfriend."



"Well, seeing how he ran off on you, I would say you're home free with Tara."



Willow was confused. "Ran off?"



Well actually he was kidnapped, but Ruby didn't feel like explaining.



Ruby put a comforting hand on her knee. "Look he's not even ... I hate to break it to you kid. You're beau's a wolf."



Willow was unfazed. "I know. He's been a werewolf since I met him."



"If that's what you wanna call it. But he's been quite the wolf all day." An unpleasant side effect from the massive amounts of drugs pumped into him by the initiative. But Ruby didn't feel like disclosing that information.



"But what should I-"



Tara and Buffy burst into the room.



"Oh thank God, we need to tell you-" Buffy realized the redhead was not alone. She slipped into blatantly obvious Scooby code speak. "You know Oz? How he, um, forgets to shave around the full moon. Well he's been spotted sporting major stubble.."



Tara attempted to help. "Yeah, we're talking full on b-bushman b-beard."



"And facial hair is NOT his best look," Buffy concluded.



"It's ok," Willow informed them, "Ruby knows. We were discussing... Um,"



Tara noticed Ruby's hand on Willow's knee. Goddess, what a perfect knee. Willow hadn't pushed it away. And Willow had told her about Oz and they hardly knew each other. She felt sick. What if Willow really was gay, but it was someone else she fancied?



"Great," Buffy said. "Then we don't have to beat around the bush. There's a spell, to turn Oz back to how he was. You and Tara can perform it."



"Actually it's to return someone to their true state," Tara corrected, "but it sh-should work. It's complicated, but together I think we can h-handle it."



"As long as we find Oz. He has to be present for the spell to work," Buffy added.



"I can help you with that," Ruby told them. She pulled the copy of Dangerous Liaisons out of her bookshelf, and a panel in the wall opened up to reveal a staircase. "Um, surprise!"



"Did anyone else know our dorms had secret passages?" Willow asked.



Ruby took Willow's hand. "Follow me down." Once more a pang of jealousy shot through Tara.



They found themselves in a huge lab filled with monsters of all shapes and sizes. There in a small cage sat Oz, all furry and growling.



"We've got about five minutes till security kicks in," Ruby warned. "Better get your asses in gear.



Willow and Tara locked eyes. They were terrified of what they might see in each other, or worse of what the other girl might see in them. But what they found was a mutual determination to do what was right. Tara lit a candle. She placed it between them. The two witches sat, cross-legged, still staring into each other's eyes. They linked hands. A pleasant tingle shot through Willow at the skin on skin contact. No, she scolded herself, no naughty thoughts while doing spells! It was taking enough effort on her part to keep focus and not let her eyes stray to the way Tara's lovely chest rose and fell as her breathing became more heavy. Tara began the chanting. Curiously enough, during spells her stutter always went away.



"Goddess Hecate we implore thee. Solidify thy true form, false form kill. Return to thy true soul. Do thy will!"



A bolt of power shot through the two of them. Tara's heart skipped a beat and so did Willow's, but was it the force of the spell or something else? Willow brushed a couple of sweat soaked strands from Tara's eyes. The blond gave her a little crooked smile, savoring the feel of Willow touch. That smile just killed Will. She had never wanted Tara more, onlookers and WB sensors be damned! She searched the blond's face for answers. Was Tara as aware as she was of the scorching heat between them?



Their tender moment was interrupted by a disapointed Buffy. "Damn, it didn't work."



Willow and Tara looked the cage and then looked at each other. They both knew the spell had worked. They had felt it. Hecate had secured his form beyond the shadow of a doubt.



Oz was still a wolf.

oooooooooooooooh wow....

thanks for the update!!

I love this fic! it's such a cool idea!!

Tara: Every time I... even when I'm at my worst, you
always make me feel special. How
do you do that?

Willow: Magic

[tiredsoul]

That was great. I like how you made furthered Ruby's character. Is she good or is she bad? And Tara's emotions ranging from "Willow's straight" to "Maybe she's gay and likes someone else" are well done.



I also liked how you played out the spell, their first really powerful one. My favorite line was:
