Cam,
You little rascal you. Tara the captain of the Priapus indeed.
As with Emm's Moon story, you have embraced the poetical and classical allusions with your element of fire.
From the setting sun on the horizon to the interior decorating of Willow's cabin to WIllow's tresses, you have shown fire and flame to be the colors and harbingers of desire, lust, and all things hot-blooded.
Telescopes and peg-legs and diddling the galley wench, oh my!
This tale of the High Seas with pirates and buckling of the swashes is tailor made for Errol Flynn if he were a woman.
I also like imagining Willow and Tara wearing the tunics.
Shiver me timbers, me hearties.
Looks like Willow and Tara will be dining in on freshly caught fish again.
I can deny chicks in chainmail nothing.

Good stuff!

It’s going to be really interesting seeing how 7 talented writers with very different individual styles approached this as a group project. I’m enjoying the commentary from the other participants almost as much as the stories themselves. Was there some kind of creative orgy, or was this more structured? Maybe y’all can give us some more details about the actual mechanics of the project after the last story’s up. One specific thing that I'm really curious about are the transitions between stories, the way Moon ends with the line about it just being Monday, and Fire has that reference to the descending Moon.

A really fine start with Moon. Beautifully written story, no surprise there. Atmospheric, understated but with lots of detail. I loved the dual fantasies. It reminded me of the good old/bad old days when same-sex fantasies had to be re-routed to both parties mutually wanting the same third object as a way of really saying they wanted each other. Here, the research/photography session is the third object, but the mutual desire is so strong, the pretense of the third object isn't even defined (T not really knowing what W is doing on this trip--funny). Now don't stone me, y'all, but I like where Moon ended. It seems complete exactly where it is, on the verge of the characters putting into action the very sensual fantasies they've just had.

Fire - And for something completely different--some outrageously funny lines from clever wordplay and annotating canon lines out of context and hot, playful boinking. Yet, with lots of affection, too, amid the bad guys getting their comeuppance--it's Disney on poppers with hot lesbians, aarrrr.

Two different writers, two very different stories so far, but both within the premise of the project. Both writers did wonderful jobs with working their themes and delivering great stories. You guys are not disappointing. Again I say, good stuff!

Sure! We can post about the mechanics and how this series was born, nurtured and matured. Orgy? May be a tiny glimpse, we have to maintain our mystique!

Onto fb for the Cam.

~~~~~~~~~~

Fun fun fun! I’m dubbing this story "Once More, With Pirates.”

What a contrast between Moon and Fire. I’m so deliriously happy that we have such a diverse range of talents for our series, and I’m so happy about how our posting order turned out. We have the serene and atmospheric first meeting story from Emmy and now you’ve given us another first meeting scenario that can’t be any more different! But a good different, not trying to compare here. I mean, comparing Moon and Fire is like comparing, well, Emmy and Cam. Or I dunno, The Sound of Music and Schindler’s List – both are set during WW2, both won Best Picture, both are masterpieces in showing the good and bad side of human beings ... but in different genres that make it impossible to pick a favorite.

Is this better than your original idea? Haven’t read the other one [** Cam rolls her eyes, “duh watty, I haven’t written it.” **] but if we were to pick a writer to combine W/T gay lovin’ and a pirate setting effectively, you’d get first pick (or dibs or whatever the term is). I’m utterly floored by your ability to write something believable and hilarious yet touching and ... dare I say ... full of the sweetness and shyness you find in new lovers.

Yes. Sweetness and Comedy combined into a tasty sundae, you switch between the two so well. From the first time they set eyes on each other, Willow with her lusty gaze and Tara being all shy and coy. That is, until her righteous side came out.
“Under the authority of His Majesty King George, I hereby place you under arrest!”

I mean, she’d just been rescued by these pirates, and she’s stuck there on the ship at the mercy of the Flame ... and ... and the first thing she does in gratitude is try to arrest her savior? I want to say she’s stupid, but it’s Tara, so I’ll just say ... loyal and misguidedly devoted to the Crown.

The whole story ... what a tale!!! We have swordfight! Swordfight as foreplay! Gratuitous groping! Joyous reunion with Xander! Jealous Willow! And muchly heavy innuendos. Did the girls get their hands on an advanced copy of Anya’s Naughty Bits handout from Ubercon? Or did the smut workshop convener came across a historical copy and used it in the workshop? I mean, “tending to ouchie parts on nekkid patient”, the “telescope” and the “peg-leg”, “climbing masts vs exploring caverns” ... so it’s like a smut writers’ heaven. So it was you who led that workshop?

The gay lovin’ was hot? Yes, of course. Do I even have to say? The imagery of bounties revealed and skins aflame as they met; blasts of heat as Tara reached climax and her
half-closed eyes fell on the stove that, to her hazy vision, seemed to glow and pulsate, and she could almost see the flames burning higher and hotter as her eyes rolled back and she screamed Willow’s name.

... you’ve tied it up to the Fire theme so brilliantly.

The shirt that hung loosely over the pirate’s frame stretched nicely across Tara’s chest, and Willow leered openly as she pulled on a boot, frowned, wrenched it off and pulled it back on the proper foot.

Love the detail there. I can imagine Willow’s sheepish face at the boot mix-up. It’s definitely something that could happen to any of us. Wait? Was that personal experience? Teehee.

The confrontation with the Baron was another barrel of laughs, despite the seriousness of the situation. Having Giles present as shocked bystander / outrageous extra adds to the gravity of the Baron’s heinous deeds. He fully deserves that whack on the head. Oh, and Donald deserves that kick too, I hope Willow made sure it was well placed if you know what I mean.

It actually took me 2 or 3 rereads to catch the foreshadowing
Willow observed the Priapus head away from them, Buffy skillfully tacking into the wind.

and
“Oh. I was actually thinking about giving up piracy,” the redhead replied with a casual wave of her hand. “In fact, I already told Buffy the ship was hers.”

I’m sure Buffy will keep the name and reputation of The Flame intact. For Willow to give up the first love of her life for the true love of her life. Sigh. And how sweet is this:
“I don’t know…this is the first time I’ve ever wanted anything,” Willow breathed, her wide, hopeful eyes making Tara’s heart flutter.

All together now ...aaawwwwwwww ...

The watty is happy now.

Wow I loved that story too! I was surprised that I got into it much as I did because at the beginning I was sceptical (not really my sort of story) but, being the great author that I've realised you are, you were able to captivate me and truly engross me in the story. This was the first story, be it long or short (except for "The Date"), that I've been able to read in one go and not have to take two or more sessions to get through it...sorry Emms, as much as I love your work, it takes me two nights to read it whilst paying complete attention!!! :blush

Anyway, once again can't wait for the next story and I'm so glad my eyes have been opened up to other fanfic authors on here, thank you for that!!!!

What a fun story! I've never seen a W/T uber-pirate story before, and now I'm wondering why, because that was awesome.

“Under the authority of His Majesty King George, I hereby place you under arrest!”


Tara is so cute. Trying to arrest Willow on her own ship.

I was hoping Xander would be on Will's ship. Yay, for him not being all dead and stuff.

It also made me smile to see Riley with the good guys, as opposed to, say, helping Lindsay (yes, I know, but I wasn't there yet) mutiny against Tara. I wasn't a big Riley fan when he was on the show, too much of a Bangel shipper I guess, but after being subjegated to The Badness, aka Spuffy, I find myself rather fond of the soldier boy in retrospect.

But then, Lieutenant MacDonald wasn't Lindsay! That was a surprise. Or was I the only one thinking that it was Lindsay? Anyway, for me, it being Donny was a nice twist.

Loved the smackdown of Tara's father.

And this line:

“I don’t know…this is the first time I’ve ever wanted anything,” Willow breathed, her wide, hopeful eyes making Tara’s heart flutter.


Is one of the sweetest things ever. Awwww.

Great story.

Arrr, that be a fine tale, says I! In all me long years I never did hear such a fiery yarn of romance and adventure on the high seas, full o' such swashbucklin' courage and daredevil nerve on the part of Cap'n Willow and her bonnie lass Lady Tara. And by the gold of the main they be a hot pair o' ladies! I scarcely dare think o' the grapplin' they been a-doin' in the Flame's luxurious bed, lest I start givin' off sparks near the powder magazine and blow us all to Davy Jones!

I be commendin' ye also on the verisimil... verrysi... the way that it all felt just like a pirate tale should, with the language and the fancy nautical jargon and such like. And ye be without a doubt the mistress of fire, which ye tamed from bein' a sea-dog's worst nightmare, and let loose to provide quite another kind o' burnin' entirely, which I be sure not a man nor woman on any crew would want to shy away from!

Congratulations are in order also for the skilful dispatchin' of those traitorous curs MacDonaly and Baron Maclay - never was a spot on a deserted isle so richly deserved, and may they curse the day they ever thought to do 'arm to such a lovely lass as Tara, or cross swords with a true buccaneer like the Flame. Me, I took particular delight in her Captainship runnin' rings of cannon-smoke around that clueless landlubber MacDonald and 'is worthless crew, though I'll admit, I did be givin' a hearty guffaw when Willow bonked the old man on the 'ead.

I raise me glass to ye, and be wishin' ye fair winds to sail afore, and fat Spanish galleons to plunder :bow

Dear Lord Cam, that was so entertaining! I love the flirtyness of this story. You do uber-W/T so well. There are very few stories that I lose myself in, and this is one of them. I'm gonna say it, yep, I am...this story is in my Top 5 All Time Favorites. It's so clever and witty.

Did I mention there was excellent use of your element throughout? From the stove in The Flame's quarters to setting fire to the Priapus, it was never forced but oh so subtle.

I loved it! Oh yeah, I fancied the smut too, as always. :-D

cam, you have stong pirate mojo my friend. i can just picture you as an eight year old, wearing an eye patch left over from a ljs kid's meal, eating your cap'n crunch cereal, and thinking "when i grow up i'm going to write pirate smut".
actually, that's one thing that strikes me most about your stories, what a strong sense of play you have. whether it's this, or ger, or dopeygayland, you always convey such fun, and wonder, they are truly playful in the best sense of the word. the fact that you also weave in humor both subtle and broad, action, tenderness and hot hot smut only enriches it.
i really love getting to read these stories now in order and context, i'm catching things i didn't in the development process. like how emms story moves like the moon, deliberately , gracefully, and then you follow with fire, crackling and swift. yummy stuff cam~mary

Oh, c'mon, Mary...you've met Cam. Not all that hard to picture, really....since that's pretty much how she is now.

Cameron of the Gay,

What a delightful romp! I loved this story the first time I read your initial incompleted draft. And that love continued to the next draft -- even if you did leave us "mid grope" for a while. This last read through of "Fire" is even more delightful.

You are the W/T AU Queen! I've always loved the way you're able to balance the basic characteristics of Willow and Tara with the non-canon universes you so beautifully create. There's such detail in every sentence...it's mind boggling, really.

Thanks for letting me be a part of the process, Cam. I truly enjoyed it every step of the way...from the glimmering of an idea to the final product. Quite a joy.

Carleen

Arrrr! What’s this I see off the bow? Why it’s a school of Kittens bearing feedback! I guess none of you land lubbers’ll be walkin’ the plank.[br]
SallyMcFine: Sally, I’m so glad you liked the one-liners—I quite enjoyed writing them! I also really appreciate your comments on the fire imagery, as I was afraid I went a little overboard (ha!). Thesaurus.com is truly my best friend.
Now that I’m done reading I have a burning sensation in my…
Arrr…sounds like an advanced case of “fire down below”—no shore leave for you! Thanks, Sally![br]
starcomed: Rachel! Posting feedback! Damn, girl…you gonna start writing fics next? I was so psyched to see you here, and I’m glad you liked it. Thank you.[br]
hermitfish: Thanks, Cyd. I like Pirate Willow too—I think she ended up a cross between Green Eyed Red and Vampire Willow from Dopeygayland. Maybe one day I’ll write a canonesque shy, sweet, innocent Will and throw a Temptress Tara at her. I’m glad you liked the story part as well as the smut…you and I may have gone the most plot heavy, and after reading all the other fics I was worried that there was too much unnecessary background. Glad to get the thumbs up from one of MY favorite writers. :) [br]
irishgrl3: Thanks Anna. I actually wrote much of the dialogue before I even had a story…piratey one-liners are fun!…so it’s nice to get so much positive response. Thanks also for mentioning the supporting cast, even though I didn’t give them much to do (especially Buffy and Giles).[br]
Tiggrscorpio: I’m so psyched you got the “Buttuc Simian/Butt Monkey” gag! Ahh…my H.S. Latin teacher would be so proud! The “telescope” was originally going to be put to use, but I decided I didn’t want to write two toy scenes. I also didn’t want to omit either that or the peg leg joke, though, so I appreciate the comments.
How absolutely perfect for your theme that she is a pirate called The Flame
I know! When I was doing my (admittedly limited) research, I found several mentions of a woman called The Flame who was a 14th century pirate/privateer (depending on which side of the English Channel you were on). I actually squealed with glee when I read that, and knew that HAD to be Willow! Thanks![br]
AntigoneUnbound: Naughty? Me? I know not of what you speak, Mary. :flirt Again, I’m so happy that the one-liners were a hit. Before I even wrote a word of the narrative, I had an entire page of piratey banter just waiting to be used. I actually used Priapus for Tara’s ship based on the myth that Priapus attempted to rape one of the nymphs, who had sworn never to be with a man. The theme seemed too heavy for the tone of the fic, though, and I didn’t bother to change it. The humorous connotations never even occurred to me. As for the whole “he bothered me” interaction…that was the lovely and talented Carleen. I was just gonna knock him out, but she very bossily told me there should be some dialogue, and proceeded to write it, which I copied verbatim from Yahoo IM. I think that line got more quotes than any other, and I’m really happy for Car…yep…not at all bitter. :p [br]
Guppy: I don’t even have a W/T pirate placemat! Now I want one too. I’m glad you like the series so far. More goodness ahead.[br]
umgaynow: “Mistress and Commander,” huh? Well, who knows…Pirate Willow may get itchy on land someday and need to sail off on an adventure, with a bodacious Baroness by her side, of course! Thank you Sandi![br]
kindagay: Thanks so much, Jeanne. There’s so many great quotes from the show, and I love to be able to use them in different contexts. I didn’t even catch the Vamp Willow connotations of “he bothered me,” but as I told Mary, I didn’t write the line…that was the work of the brilliant Carleen. (still not bitter…nuh uh).[br]
Miss Kittys Ball O Yarn: Thanks, Emmy! I’m glad you liked the segue from “Moon.” I didn’t consciously set out to do it, but then it seemed really fitting. Almost makes me wish I’d thought to do a lead-in to “Water.” Thanks for your remarks r.e. the dialogue, the smut, and the supporting characters. Xander’s “booty” line was one of my favorites to write…it was one of the first things that came to me when thinking about the story.
You may not be a sailor…but you were definitely a pirate in a past life
Well…I’ve ridden Pirates of the Caribbean at Disney World several dozen times…and I wear a single hoop earring…does that count? Oh yeah…Sound of Music Julie Andrews is mine. You can have Mary Poppins Julie.[br]
JustSkipIt: Thank you so much, Debra…your suggestions over the course of many drafts were so helpful. In particular, the whole opening paragraph was added to ‘fire’ it up more from the get-go, so I’m glad you liked it. I honestly don’t even know what plum pudding is, so I wasn’t aware it didn’t go well with hot cocoa. It just sounded old timey and British. :p
I’m a sucker for the whole starting out fighting then coming together in passion thing
When I watched Showgirls with a bunch of friends, we ended up giggling madly over what one of the guys dubbed “lesbian sex fighting.” I always wanted to write one of those scenes, with the smoldering eyes and pent-up…stuff…and the rising…music. Glad you liked. I always thought Tara’s dad needed to be knocked out, but really I was just too lazy to write a duel scene with four people.[br]
Justin: Thanks, Justin! I was halfway through the story before it occurred to me that Willow was technically a bad guy, so I made her a benevolent pirate. She did leave it behind rather easily, but as I already hinted, she might get the urge to set sail again someday. As for the Baron, I think he’ll be soundly dealt with, since the men of the Priapus will not be too happy to be abandoned on an island with nothing. Feel free to imagine many unpleasant things regarding the scoundrel.[br]
caz: Thank you, Caz! Lol r.e. the “Bodice Rippers.” I used to watch a lot of old Errol Flynn movies on Sunday afternoons as a kid, and I got most of my inspiration for Pirate Willow from them. I loved writing this story, and may indeed continue it someday, but not til I finish some of the other stuff I’ve been neglecting.[br]
sacinema: I know how you feel, sacinema. Reading these stories has made me hope for continuations on all of them. I’m glad you liked the humor in “Fire,” and if you’re a fan of Shadows and Sunlight, you’re gonna love “Water!” As an aside, Justin already supplied the info on what “diddled” means…I went with the ‘vulgar slang’ definitions. Thank you.[br]
badkitty: Glad you liked it, bk, and that you found time to leave fb. Now if you’d only find time to update Behind Enemy Lines…that would make me happy! Thank you, and stay tuned…“Water” is sure to please.[br]
taralicious: Thanks, Blayne! A fellow Errol Flynn fan…hurrah! You know, I thought about going into the dichotomy of fire’s properties as both destructive and life-supporting, but then I said…nahhhh. Let’s make it about sex! I know what Kittens like.[br]
binky: “Creative orgy?” Would that be like an orgy with costumes and finger painting and stuff? Cause that’s about rig…oh…I’ve been told that Watty and Car (our fearless leaders) will be answering any “how’d we do it” questions at some point after all the fics are posted. Sorry. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the series so far, and I thank you on behalf of Emmy and myself. I think Emmy had the hard part of going first, and I’m just glad I didn’t put people off with my silliness after her beautiful, poignant tale. I love your description of “Fire” as “Disney on poppers with hot lesbians,” and as far as I’m concerned, there can never be too much “playful boinking.” Thanks![br]
Watson: Good god that’s a lot of feedback, Watty! I’m not sure this was better than my original idea, but it was certainly better for me. Not that I’ll never write serious canon, but I’m really glad I changed it, and that you were all so supportive of me. I think it’s really funny how hung up you got on Tara trying to arrest Willow. What was she supposed to do? “I guess I’m your prisoner now, just tie me up and have your lusty piratey way with me.” Hmmm. Is it too late to do a re-write?

I appreciate all the praise, but so much of it should go right back to everyone else, whose comments and encouragement made the final product what it is. Tara wearing Willow’s shirt? I’m pretty sure you suggested Tara needed fresh clothes. The kick to Donnie’s gut? That was Carleen (though I think she wanted the kick a little lower). And I think Debra must have stated “needs more fire” in at least a dozen places on my drafts. Working with all of y’all has been the best part of this experience, truly. Thank you.[br]
lollipopgirl: I’m actually not sure if your feedback is for Emmy or me, so I’ll just say thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.[br]
the hero factor: You confused the hell out of me with the Lindsay remarks, but I get it now. I forgot that was his last name. I actually originally had Riley as the bad guy, til I decided to include the whole “Donnie as evil half-brother” subplot. I don’t really mind the big lug, and I’ve made him an insufferable boob several times now, so I thought I’d let him be a good guy for a change. Glad you liked it![br]
Artemis: Why thank you, kind Sir! Wow, Chris. I really should have had you write all the dialogue…excellent pirate-speak! You are the reason I know what Uber fic is, and it was the fics at your site that inspired me to start writing my own. I can’t thank you enough.[br]
terra21: Top 5? Wow. I’m speechless, T. Thank you. Thanks for the comments about using the fire theme throughout. I got to a point where I’d thrown in so many “heated glances/touches” that I was afraid it would be repetitive, so it’s nice to hear it worked. Maybe I just read the damn thing too many times. I don’t think I’ve ever worked on a fic as much as this one, but it helped to have 8 other people looking it over, and 6 other writers I had to live up to. I’m just glad my work here is done. I’d hate to have to wait weeks and weeks to post. :p[br]
meretricious:
that's one thing that strikes me most about your stories, what a strong sense of play you have
So you admire my immaturity? YAY!!! I think it was Doctor Who that said “what’s the fun of growing up if you can’t act childish?” Heather once mentioned that my fics are like the old serials, and I’ve always liked that description…I tend to use that style of pacing, I think, as well as the cliffhangers, action/romance/comedy, borderline cartoonish good guys/bad guys. I’m very happy I ended up with fire, since I think I was the only one who didn’t actually choose their element. It got down to two and Watty said “mind if I take Earth?” and I said “sure, dude.” Then I spent several days chanting “fire! fire!” in my head a la Beavis. Then there was the Willow as an arsonist/Tara as Smokey the Bear idea that luckily never even made it to visual imagery. Then there was that serious canon thought, and honestly, one of you should have bopped me in the head with a sword for thinking that was a good idea. “My pirate mojo is strong”…I think you may have given me a new sig line, Mary. Thanks![br]
GayNow: Fashionably late again, I see! Carleen, you’re like the Alistair Cooke of our little Masterpiece Theater…“and now…final thoughts… here’s Carleen.”

I am truly indebted to you for all the help on Fire, from chatting out ideas to Live! While-U-Wait beta fb, to actually writing the most quoted interaction in the entire fic! (really NOT bitter. Grrrrr!) Working with you is an absolute joy, Car. One thing though…I don’t wanna be the AU Queen. I wanna be the dashing gallant knight. Make Chris be the Queen.

Title – Water

Author – JustSkipIt

Pairing – T/W

Feedback – Oh yes.

Spoilers – None

Rating – NC-17: BDSM Warning.

Disclaimer – Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy own Willow and Tara and the Buffyverse as well as the Dopplegangland verse. Watson owns the idea for this series. No one owns the days of the week. Cam owns one flannel shirt. Mary owns 500-600 compact discs. Car owns an apparent inability to discern the difference in the brown and red lines and a gazillion views on her first fic. I own a new pair of Chaco sandals and 274 inches of 7ft tall bookcases.

The idea for this Scene came from the excellent story Just Drops by Ruth Gifford. I found it in Best of the Best Lesbian Erotica edited by Tristan Taormino.

Note – This story is a sequel to Shadow and Sunlight which can be found in the Fic Challenge 1 thread. You’ll be a little lost if you don’t read it.

Note 2 - Thanks to the G9 team for your awesome writing and for challenging me to improve my own skills.

Note 3 – I got some water tidbits from this site.

Note 4 – Yes, this story contains BDSM. I am not an expert on BDSM or even on writing BDSM. Although I’ve tried to maintain most of the rules that I’ve heard for play, I still am not an expert so please don’t use my stories as any kind of primer or “how to” manual. In this story, there is no safeword. They are vampires! They say that vampires don’t safeword. If you’re not a vampire and you decide to try play, you need a safeword. Please…



“Mmm geroff,” Willow mumbled, swatting her hand lazily at the fly irritating the tip of her nose. When the irritating feeling didn’t stop, she rolled over, wrapping her arms around Tara’s legs and pressing her face into the girl’s thigh.

Tara laughed and ran her fingertips slowly through Willow’s hair as the smaller vampire only squeezed her tighter. She wondered, if she were still human would that hurt? It was quite hard but actually it felt kind of good. Kind of tingly in all the right places. Mmm. Slowly she traced her fingertips over the back of Willow’s neck.

Tara extended a hand and allowed a pillow to float from the floor into her hand. She leaned forward slightly to prop it behind her back and continue holding her lover. Sun poked around the edges of the heavy curtains in her parents’s room and she could smell the dew evaporating off the grass. The two vampires hadn’t returned from town until well after midnight and she was sure they hadn’t fallen asleep until five or six o’clock. She stretched slowly testing for soreness. Their night’s exploits and those from the night before didn’t seem to be leaving any permanent or lasting impression even if it sometimes felt like it would at the time. Willow did have a talent for … intensity.

Willow rolled over and a shock ran through Tara’s body as the top of the girl’s head pressed against her pubic bone. She smiled at the sight of Willow’s small nipples pointing skyward, the peach a contrast against her bone-white skin. Tara allowed her fingers to continue idly stroking Willow’s now exposed shoulders and her eyes to drift to the other two contrasting colors on the redhead’s body: the black of her fingernails and the auburn curls at the juncture of her legs. The smile on Willow’s face gave away her pretence of sleep.

Tara smiled and ran her fingertips along the redhead’s slight breasts until they reached the nipples. She traced them, enjoying the nubby sensation of their hardening before curling her fingers and pinching viciously, allowing her sharp nails to pierce the redhead’s skin. If she were expecting Willow to be displeased, she was sorely disappointed. “Mmm, looking for another go, lover?” Willow’s deep voice lilted as if she were casting a spell on the blonde.

Tara relaxed her grip only slightly leaving her fingers curled menacingly around Willow’s hard nipples. The temptation to return some of the torture of the last two days was strong but she had other plans. “You know what today is?”

Willow’s eyes finally opened to meet Tara’s. “Wednesday?”

“Try again.”

“The day we finally leave this all-forsaken wasteland?”

Tara’s fingertips relaxed their position surrounding her lover’s hard nipples. “That too.”

“I’m telling you,” Willow said, “you’re going to love Los Angeles. Food everywhere.”

“You just want a toy store,” Tara teased nipping at the redhead’s nose.

Willow rolled quickly on top of the blonde, pinning her hands to the bed. “That pick axe handle was no fun.” Her childlike pout belied the story behind that particular experiment.

“Splinters…” Tara smiled at the redhead on top of her. “But first you said…”

“I know what I said,” Willow snapped as she rolled to the side. “You get your little time.” She rolled back on top of the blonde and pressed her leg into the girl’s curls. “After all, you’ve been a very agreeable playmate.”

Tara thrust only once along Willow’s thigh before pushing the redhead off her body. “Let’s go shower first.” She pulled Willow by the hand toward the bathroom. Once there the blonde reached into the shower stall and turned both controls on high allowing the water to pound against the opposite glass. She stepped in without even checking the temperature and shuddered slightly as the water hit her cold skin, the contrast in temperature seeming to scald her.

Willow stepped in immediately after Tara and pulled the door shut behind her. Without a word, she reached around the blonde and gave the hot water faucet a twist, lowering the temperature to something more reasonable. She grabbed a washcloth and squeezed soap onto it as she looked at her lover’s face leaning back into the spray, her hair becoming thoroughly soaked. Red lines marred her perfect porcelain skin where the water had hit her and Willow smiled at the angry marks. With one hand she caressed Tara’s soft skin with the wash cloth, while she used the nails of the other hand to scratch the already red marks. It would be so easy to use those nails to draw blood and Tara was already moaning as her hands slid along the glass walls of the shower stall.

Switching hands, the redhead continued to soap her lover’s gorgeous body. Her right hand now occupied itself tormenting Tara’s breasts—scratching them and pinching the nipples. She smiled as she thought of the blonde watching herself heal from Willow’s rough touches in the last few days. She seemed thoroughly fascinated by her quick recovery and healing--each scratch, welt, or cut gone in minutes.

There was no doubt to Willow that her childe was made for this unlife. The girl thrived on Willow’s power. She liked to pretend she had none, to allow Willow to use her and hurt her and it just pleased both demons more and more. She’d even suggested to Willow that the redhead pretend she were still a human. A human Willow could physically control.

Oh, that game was so fun.

Smirking, Willow stopped her attentions to Tara’s soapy body and handed the blonde the washcloth. Tara didn’t voice a moment of displeasure or disappointment at the loss of Willow’s cruel touch. She knew what the redhead was up to. What she wanted. She wanted to set the pace and Tara would let her.

For now.

Tara took the cloth and mirrored Willow’s actions, soaping and washing her lover’s body, the skin the temperature of the water. Carefully she washed every inch of her sire’s skin, dropping to her knees to delve between the girl’s toes. With each movement of the wash cloth between Willow’s toes the girl tried and failed to restrain her giggle. Such a young thing. Tara smiled at her lover. Tara was 20 years old and 2 days dead, Willow 17 years old, 3 years dead.

“What are you laughing about?”

Tara stood up and brought her lips to Willow’s. Finally pulling away, panting from the bruising kiss, she whispered with a smile, “Jailbait.”

Willow’s eyes darkened in playful anger. Tara knew already what it would take to anger her lover and this was not it. The girl did like to play, however.

Quickly Tara found herself turned around with Willow pressing against her from behind. The small but powerful redhead gave her lover a not so gentle push and Tara was sandwiched between the shower wall and Willow’s unyielding body. She could feel Willow’s fingers questing at her sopping entrance for just a fraction of a second before they were unceremoniously thrust inside, nearly lifting her from the floor. As Willow thrust inside, she used her legs to spread Tara’s own as wide as she wanted them.

Willow gave no prelude before thrusting deeply in and out of Tara’s hot wet cunt. She knew how much her companion liked it like this. Liked the feeling of loss of control. She flexed her fingers inside Tara’s body and felt the shudder pass through the other girl’s body. She began taunting her pet. “When we get to LA, we’re going to a toy store.”

“You … said…,” Tara gasped.

“I’ve got quite a few ideas.” Willow’s hand moved faster as her free one gripped her lover’s hip.

Tara’s hands clenched and unclenched but found only the slick surface of the shower as the water continued to pound into her side and face. Her breasts were pressed up against the glass and it felt awkwardly cramped. The water had long since turned cold but neither vampire took any notice. Being such a young vampire, Tara couldn’t maintain her human countenance when her orgasm hit. Throughout the powerful waves that shook her body, Willow continued thrusting, coaxing moans and screams from her lover.

Finally content that Tara had taken all she could at the moment, the older vampire removed her hand from her lover’s body and quickly shut off the water before kicking open the door and carrying Tara to the bed. “Mmm,” Tara purred, “so chivalrous.”

“Or I want you on your back,” Willow teased as she moved to hover over Tara’s waiting mouth. The blonde didn’t have a chance to answer, other than the quick movement of her lips, tongue, and teeth over Willow’s center. The redhead kneeled on her arms, effectively holding her in place. Tara could easily lift Willow off but didn’t want to. Both women liked this game. This game that said Willow was the sire and she was in control.

Tara knew it was only a matter of time.

And they had hours before sunset.

Willow’s hands wrapped around her childe’s head, stilling it so that Tara could only move her mouth and tongue. “Mmm, just like that, Pet,” Willow moaned, beginning to move forward and back, humping herself against Tara’s mouth and chin. Tara moaned in response, her sounds effectively muffled. Willow shifted only enough to allow the younger vampire to free one hand. “Touch yourself.”

Tara did so, moaning louder into Willow’s center as her hand glided through her wet curls and against her clit. She could hear Willow’s cries becoming louder and the vampire’s fingers clutched painfully at her head. With her orgasm she screamed into Willow’s center, the vibrations of the sound apparently pushing her lover over the edge as Willow loosened her hands from Tara’s head and fell forward. Apparently enjoying the extra stability of the position, Willow bucked harder onto Tara’s face, rubbing on Tara’s forehead ridges and keening loudly throughout her climax.

Having rolled onto her back, Willow now lay on the pillows, her arms wrapped around her childe. “We’re not supposed to be like this.”

“Like what?” Tara traced her fingertips over her lover’s hip bone and around her belly button.

Willow placed a kiss on Tara’s forehead. “Gentle. We’re supposed to be all ‘grrr argghh’ and hurt each other and fight and have hot sweaty violent sex.”

Tara quirked up her eyebrows. “Which part of that are we not doing?”

Willow’s eyes sparkled as she smiled at her lover. “It’s different. I-I-I feel … something for you.” She leaned in and gently kissed the younger vampire.

“Isn’t that normal? I mean was it like that with you and your sire?” Tara didn’t want to seem obtuse but Willow had told her very little about her turning. For all the blonde knew, she would be out of the picture when they got to LA. That thought hurt but she knew that if it was what Willow wanted, there was little she could do about it.

“Drusilla?” Willow laughed. Then she noted the look of insecurity and fear on Tara’s face. “It’s definitely not normal. My sire turned me only to hurt my best friend. She didn’t want me like I want you.” She nipped at the blonde’s neck. “Like I want you every day, every hour of every day.”

Tara turned her head to kiss her lover more deeply before asking, “Why did she want to kill your friend?”

Willow nodded her head. “She was the Slayer.” At Tara’s quizzical look she elaborated. “One girl in all the world meant to fight the forces of evil, blah blah blah. Now she’s one girl in all the world decomposing in Sunnydale Memorial cemetery.” She got an evil smirk on her face.

“So you killed your best friend?”

Willow smiled again. “Both of them. Slayer blood is quite a rush.” She looked wistful for a moment. “I miss Xander though.” Her lips curled up in a cruel smile. “He always knew the best places to party.”

Tara quickly flipped so that she was on her stomach on top of Willow. She pressed her body into the smaller girl’s. “I want you again,” she growled.

Willow returned the kiss with passion and was surprised as Tara pulled away.

“My turn.”

--

“I thought there were going to be more smoochies,” Willow pouted a few minutes later as she lay face up on the cot in the basement. When Tara didn’t answer she taunted the blonde. “This room has such memories for me.” Tara fastened the cuffs around her sire’s wrists and then pulled them tight so that Willow’s hands were bound under the narrow bed. She had already fastened the leg shackles in such a way that Willow’s knees were raised and bent, her center fully exposed.

“How is that?”

“I’m not hoping to spend weeks like this but I can stay this way for a while.” Willow smiled as her lover prepped the scene. It was all she could do to keep from laughing. Here was Tara, the sweet, if insane, girl whose virginity she had taken the same night she’d turned her, a girl who had never fought a second of Willow’s games and in fact had welcomed them, had suggested more. And suddenly she wanted to play at Mistress. Willow figured it ought to be an entertaining way to spend the afternoon. And if Tara didn’t fulfill her dreams it would only cement their roles and ensure more fun.

Assured that the bindings were tight enough although she knew that if Willow chose to use magic, the binding would not hold, Tara ran her fingertips from the redhead’s toes up her leg. Suddenly she grasped the girl’s cunt, slipping three fingers inside and kissed her deeply, breaking into her demon visage and nicking Willow’s lips with the tip of her tooth. She licked at the cut and pulled away leaving her hand in place. “I know you can break the binds but if you do it will be like safewording.”

“Vampires don’t safeword,” Willow said smugly.

“I think you might have mentioned that.” She checked the bindings again before leaving the room. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

Willow smiled as she allowed her eyes to wander and linger around the room. It certainly did bring back memories. Of course she had taken her lover here for the first time as well as turning her in this very room. Tara was her first childe and right now, she felt the girl would be her only. Over the past four days she had frequently felt quite confused about her feelings toward the girl. She was supposed to be a demon. Not some pansy human. Not some weak creature who had deep feelings. Certainly she wasn’t capable of love.

At least she knew what to do when those feelings arose.

“What are you thinking about?” Tara stood in the doorway, one hand propped on her hip, the other wrapped around some type of metal stand.

“Fond memories.”

Tara laughed. “The riding crop?” She entered the room and set the stand down next to the cot. Seeing the glazed over look in her lover’s eye at the mention of the riding crop, she guessed again. “The rake?”

“Ooo, that too,” Willow said with a smile. She raised an eyebrow as Tara hung a large rubber bag from the arch of the metal stand.

Tara didn’t respond to the redhead’s inquisitive look until she had checked the placement of the bag. Then she pulled up a chair next to the cot and sat down gracefully. Her hand reached out and began stroking Willow’s hair. “Do you think you’ll mind a blindfold?”

Willow smirked openly and wondered why Tara wasn’t punishing her blatant lack of respect. Sure she didn’t respect her childe’s effort but shouldn’t that offend the girl?

Without another word, Tara tied on a bandana and ensured that it completely covered her lover’s eyes. Then she began stroking Willow’s red hair. “I’ve enjoyed the last few days.”

Willow’s smirk grew again. “Me too, pet.”

Tara’s hand stilled on the top of Willow’s head. “For the afternoon, you are my pet.”

Willow’s smirk did not diminish but at least she addressed Tara appropriately. “Yes, Mistress. Of course.”

“You’ve been quite… attentive.” Her hand returned to stroking her pet’s hair. “Right here in this room… so many times… so very… how should I say? Compelling.”

Willow forced herself to breath deeply. She wondered if Tara were weaving some sort of spell. She couldn’t detect any magic but it was if the combination of the girl’s words and her light stroke was lulling her to sleep. She felt so very relaxed.

“I’ve felt wood, leather, metal, and flesh.” Willow kept herself from responding to Tara’s fond reminisces. “Sometimes more than one at once.” She leaned close to her lover’s ear. “And it was always absolutely worth it.” She was pleased as an almost imperceptible shudder ran through Willow’s body. “All those substances are cold, rigid, or unfeeling. Or all of the above.” She waited and when Willow didn’t interrupt continued.

“But water can be soft and sensual. Little feels better than a hot bath at the end of the day.” She moved her hands to stroke Willow’s face. “The human body is 50-65% water and a child’s body is 75% water. A person can live weeks with no food but only a few days without water.”

Bored now.

“When that girl fell down the well in West Texas, they used a water drill to cut through solid rock and get her out.”

Great so she’s going to put me to sleep?

“The Tsunami killed over 100,000 people and that was just water.” Tara lifted her hands from Willow’s body. “Water can be the most gentle and refreshing substance in the world or one of the most destructive.” One of her fingertips softly touched Willow’s clit and the redhead smiled. Willow felt a drop of water run off Tara’s finger and onto the side of her clit. “Perfect,” Tara whispered and removed her fingertip.

The second drop fell directly on Willow’s clit, neither hot nor cold.

“How is the temperature, pet?”

“Perfect,” Willow responded, the feeling of another drop of water on her clit. “Is there going to be holy water sometimes?”

“You wish,” Tara laughed. Next Willow felt her lover’s mouth by her ear. “Now pet, I don’t want to hear you speak unless you need to safeword.”

“No safeword.” Willow repeated stubbornly. Another drop of water hit the redhead’s clit and she wondered if Tara was just going to stand there while it rained on her. This has the potential to be as boring as one of Spike’s poetry-fest afternoons. And she only ever agreed to one of those when they were trapped inside by daytime and he had snacks. As another drop of water hit and then another and she finally heard Tara move away. The blonde’s footstep on the stairs was light and then was gone and Willow could hear her moving around upstairs.

Willow’s anger rose at her childe. I agree to let you play at Mistress and you can’t even stay and watch? Another drop of water fell followed by another and another. Actually it was starting to feel good. Each drop seemed to increase the swelling in her bud. But why had Tara left? Perhaps she could stave off the boredom of the scene by imagining another scene?

What if those steadily falling drops were actually Tara’s talented tongue? Willow might be sitting in an armchair, her pet kneeling in front of her, hands bound behind her back…

Another drop fell on her clit and then another.

Once they returned to LA, they were definitely going shopping. Nothing Tara owned was even remotely suitable. While she had a few pairs of tight jeans, denim shirts were not the look her lover would be sporting in front of any other of The Blood. Ooo, another drop hit her clit just as she was picturing her lover’s ass in black leather. A long duster would maintain the cowgirl look but have very sexy appeal.

It seemed as if it had been an unusually long time since the last drop had fallen and Willow began to concentrate on the rhythm. She wondered if she could time the water. As a drop fell she started a mantra, hearing Tara’s voice in her head. “Yes, Mistress. Yes, Mistress. Yes, Mistress.” Exactly three times through the recitation the next drop fell. Now she could time the drops to know when the next one was coming. Not to mention that hearing Tara’s voice in her mind only increased her building excitement. Another drop fell right on schedule almost burning into the swollen bulge of her nub. Her mantra was forgotten as she released a low hiss of frustration at the next contact.

Immediately she concentrated on scanning for Tara’s presence. She would never hear the end of it if her childe had heard her exclamation. No reason to allow Tara to know just how wonderful and torturous the water felt. The blonde was still not in the dungeon and Willow returned her attention to repeating again the mantra. If she knew when the next drop was coming, she was sure she would not allow a sound again. “Yes, Mistress.” Tara’s whispered voice lived in her brain.

Each drop of water fell just on schedule. Each a little more potent than the one before. She noted Tara’s quiet return and then the girl seemed to settle herself into a chair nearby. Willow would have expected the blonde to say something, to speak, or touch, or take some action to assert her dominance. Instead she just sat stone-still as drop after drop struck.

Sometime after Tara returned, Willow noticed a low sound in her ears. She suspected that her childe was making some noise of approval as she watched Willow’s increasing frustration. It wasn’t until another three drops had fallen, each perfectly timed by her mantra, that she realized that the sound she heard was her own teeth grinding. She opened her mouth slightly to release the tension and felt another strike.

This simply would not do. She had to concentrate on her dominance of the blonde. “Yes, Mistress…” the phrase repeated over and over, every three recitations punctuated with another bullet. Every part of her body ached and she wondered how many hours she had been tied here. It seemed to have been forever, as if she had never existed anywhere before this room, as if she would never exist anywhere after this room. Her legs and arms in particular felt strained and she realized that she had pulled the bindings tight, in fact was bowing the frame of the cheap cot, so hard was she tearing against it.

She willed her disobedient and aching limbs to relax once again, wondering if Tara was smirking that half-smile at her. That half-smile… So cute. So sexy. Another drop struck and she willed the voice to sound in her ears again. “Yes, Mistress.” Her own voice sounded sultry and sexy and she wondered at the difference in timbre. Again she heard her voice echoed in her mind. “Yes, Mistress.” Once more and she felt the next so-needed drop.

Oh, her childe was such a wonderful lover. Willow had plundered every one of her secrets and wanted to come back for more. She would kneel at Tara’s feet, drinking her juices, bathing her face in her luscious honey. “Yes, Mistress.”

She expelled an unnecessary breath as the expected drop didn’t come. Perhaps she had counted wrong. Her voice echoed in her brain once more and still no drop. Tara squatted right next to the cot and Willow wondered how the blonde had risen and crossed the small room without her notice. She expected the girl to say something. To demand some acquiescence but there was only silence and stillness. Her clit throbbed with need. It was all she could do to not scream for attention, for fulfillment.

She heard the other vampire’s hand move and then water was pouring onto her center. Willow screamed as her orgasm broke free, tensing up toward the flow of water. Her childe proved once again her mastery of the scene as she magically released the bonds and the blindfold so that Willow’s arching body rose toward the waterfall. She continued screaming as her body rebounded down against the cot once again, shaking as shudders racked her frame.

Willow tried to speak. Tried to say something pithy but all that came out was “wwpphyyrrr.”

“I agree,” Tara’s whisper accompanied the lightest of touches, her fingertips along Willow’s still swollen clit and the redhead felt her body explode into climax yet again.

When Willow’s shaking had stopped, Tara gently leaned over her lover and kissed her on the lips. Her arms wrapped around the redhead’s slight body and lifted her effortlessly. Willow managed the strength to wrap her arms around her lover’s neck like a child and nuzzled her nose into Tara’s neck, thinking how she was going to repay the girl for her pleasure.

Tara’s confident stride carried them out the door of the house and into the darkness of the night. The blonde gently set her lover in the passenger seat of the car with its blacked-out windows. “We’ve got a lot of miles to cover tonight, lover,” she whispered, her hand again brushing against Willow’s impossibly swollen clit and sending the girl into another climax.

Tara started the car and backed it away from the house. Willow lifted her head lazily to watch her childe as the girl stared at the only home she’d ever known. Then Tara’s hand reached out and grasped her nub again, inciting yet another climax.

As she pulled away from the house, Tara held a container out toward her sire. “Blood?”

Willow barely found the energy to speak her response. “Water?”

:applause Well, well, well, water and old farmhouses just won't seem the same. That was the perfect conclusion to Shadow and Sunlight. Loved the fact that Willow was realizing the depth of her new feelings for Tara.

Although I must admit that
“That pick axe handle was no fun.” Her childlike pout belied the story behind that particular experiment.

“Splinters…” Tara smiled at the redhead on top of her.

Hi-ya Elvis...

Well, I just had to drop in today seeing as I'll be gone for a while and I didn't want to miss giving you feedback. First off, I thought it was inspired to add another part to the Shadow and Sunlight world. As far as this fic goes, the frame of mind/thought process that Willow went through was well done. She started out at 'this is submissive Tara-pet trying to do something she's not suited for’ line of thought and then the ghost of something else just sort of drifted into her mind as the water play slowly turned her into vamp-slave. Also, the pacing is superb...and the smut speaks for itself. Great work.

Hey Debra - if someone had told me about the idea about writing seven stories about days of the week and the elements, I would have said they were all wet. But then, in reading your story and its lovely smutty content, I realized that it's the reader who will be all wet.

Okay, I think I need to work on those jokes a bit. I'll say that in advance to head off any wet blankets.

Seriously, your story. I was v. glad to see that you continued Shadows and Sunlight! It wasn't until Carleen posted the intro to Elemental that I read Shadows and Sunlight, and was kicking myself for not having read it earlier. I love the universe of vamp-Willow turning a somewhat insane Tara into a vampire.

Also really liked how Willow's feelings for Tara were revealed in a way that made it clear that she feels something for her, loves her, whatever, but it hasn't turned her into a nice vampire or anything, and she's struggling with the feelings. I think that's very realistic that she'd be feeling consternation and I'm glad you didn't make it all like "Baby, I LUUUUUURVE you forever."

It seemed to have been forever, as if she had never existed anywhere before this room, as if she would never exist anywhere after this room.


I like that line in particular; haven't we all felt that way during a particularly monotonous, repetitive, or physically/mentally taxing moment where you don't know when the end is going to come? (What an awkwardly constructed sentence.)

This is a superb story and I'm sure you're going to get a flood of replies and be awash in prase! You'll be swamped when it comes time to reply to all the fb. Ha. (I won't quit my day job.)

Hi Debra - I loved Shadows and Sunlight. This is an excellent second part to that story. Did you get the water idea from the Chinese water torture.

Loved that Willow thinks that she is in control and that Tara proves her wrong. Some interesting times ahead for Willow - I think.

Gotta say that I loved this bit, Tara is still older even if she is the Childe.

Such a young thing. Tara smiled at her lover. Tara was 20 years old and 2 days dead, Willow 17 years old, 3 years dead.

“What are you laughing about?”

Tara stood up and brought her lips to Willow’s. Finally pulling away, panting from the bruising kiss, she whispered with a smile, “Jailbait.”

Da-yum!

That was freakin' intense. And what I love about it most is, it's not just hot, intense, BDSM-flavoured, hot, awesome, luscious, wicked, hot... further adjectives... smut, it makes perfect sense as a character-driven story. Tara's method for topping Willow is so Tara-like, it's incredible - rather than tackling her head-on (which would be iffy, given how headstrong we know Willow is, especially Vamp Willow), she quietly sets things up so that Willow does all the work for her, and turns herself into the sub without Tara having to even having to lift a finger. The subtlety of her power is amost frightening - for me, more even than Willow's overt, mercurial appetite for evil. I doubt Willow will underestimate Tara like that again - and, being the Vamp Willow she is, this whole experience will no doubt only serve to pull her deeper into the unaccustomed evil-love she's feeling for Tara.

Did I mention it was hot? 'Cause it was.

Really hot.

Debra:

Awesome story! I don't suppose you'll be writing a sequel to the sequel, hmmm? The girls in LA, toy shopping and whatnot. Yum.

I do love the juxtaposition of the two stories in terms of how arid Shadows and Sunlight is, and how.... well, how wet Water is. Ok, that's dopey. But I hope you get my meaning.

Btw, I read "Just Drops" not too long ago, and I remember after reading that I was fascinated with the water drops on the clit idea. If I thought my wife would sit still for that for five minutes, I'd actually try it. I wonder if it actually works like that though? Anyone out there ever try?

You said that S&S is one of your favorites, may be even the favorite story you’ve written. I can understand. Probably your strongest and most intense work to date.

I’m convinced already but what reinforces my belief that you are The Elvis is the subtlety, intensity and pacing of Water. You put so much care into every word, there’s hidden meaning behind much of the dialogue and description. Makes multiple readings even more pleasurable. (Please remove images of self-pleasure from your mind.) The ongoing theme that you brought over from S&S is power. Not so much power struggle as power play. On the surface, Willow has the power – she is Sire, more experienced, more evil (? perhaps less sadistic) and the obvious leader. But I get the sense that underneath all that, the person/vampire controlling their relationship is in fact Tara.

Back before she was Turned, it was Tara who allowed Willow to stay in the barn, who dictated how and when the vampire would get blood at first, and the way she invited Willow into the house oozed confidence. Well, confidence of an insane person, but nonetheless ... Now it’s, what, three days after Tara’s rebirth and I get the sense that she is still subtly allowing Willow to play the dominant role.
The girl thrived on Willow’s power. She liked to pretend she had none, to allow Willow to use her and hurt her and it just pleased both demons more and more.

I don’t have any experience in these matters but I remember reading somewhere that the one calling the shots in a D/s relationship is not necessarily the Dom. It’s a give-and-take situation, and when the partnership dynamics work, it can be extremely fulfilling.

In my mind, I split Water into two sections. The first half is the anticipation, which you build up so well:
“You get your little time.”

and
She wanted to set the pace and Tara would let her.

For now.

But in between the hot sex (you know it’s so hot it’s scorching, right?), there’s the subtle change. Perhaps not a change but a realization, that Willow felt ... something ... toward Tara. Not quite love as in candlelit romantic dinners (can't see freshly killed humans being romantic dinners), but more love than a vampire can expect to feel. It should cause concern to a vampire (“I’m evil, how can I have these weak, human emotions?”), but it seems that they have a lot of respect for the other, in between the play and the torture, there are real feelings.

In the second half I see Willow completely accepting and embracing Tara’s hold over her.
“You’ve been quite… attentive.” Her hand returned to stroking her pet’s hair. “Right here in this room… so many times… so very… how should I say? Compelling.”

And here’s the shift. Every time I read this fic, I come to “Compelling” and I have to stop here and gather my senses. I love your choice of word, I can even hear Tara saying it, with a smug half-smile on her face and serious eyes.

The water play is so original and so mind-boggling. Slow torture of the kind where you don’t know when it will end, you don’t know if you want it to end. That’s the worst kind. I mean, which is worse, an acute stomach ache that is very painful for a while but goes away as quickly as it comes, or one that’s dull and throbbing but seems to be never-ending?

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Anticipation. Self-control. Frustration.

The relentless dripping, and how Willow concentrates on counting the drops, are brilliantly done. I can feel myself on the cot, it’s dark and oppressive. Damp and dank. Total silence apart from the droplets falling onto Willow’s clit. Those are the moments when the mind becomes utterly clear – was that the moment when Willow fully realized she was Tara’s and Tara was hers? Or did it come later, when she was coming and coming and coming with the force of the water and the gushing of their feelings toward each other?

Water = vampire love? Love the last part, where Willow asks for water instead of blood.

So ... compelling.


p.s. no anal analysis of water drip rate or volume of the waterbag, impressed?

Wow! Oh...wow! This is a great idea! I'm loving the stories so far. They are so neat!

Moon: So beautiful. Such calming, smooth imagery. I really like the newness of everything. It's like, the picture you've painted of the snow covered land is similar to Willow and Tara's newly formed relationship. It's all smooth and clean--it's a blank slate. Really nice.

Fire: This was a lot of fun! And it was a really nice contrast to the previous story. The pace of the story was right on--very much like fire itself. There are slow, calm moments when the fire just lazily burns, and then there are quick, exciting moments when the flames flicker and jump. The language you use really adds authenticity to the story. It's so accurate and adds flavor to the raucous fun.

Water: A nice continuation of S&S. Hopefully there will be more. I can really see VampWillow and VampTara having their own fic series. The way you maintain the water theme throughout this short story is really nicely done. The whole story is very fluid. Like Fire, the use of language in Water allows the readers to experience water in it's many forms--the slow, smooth caress as the words envelope us and pull us into the story; the fast, raging crash as the words change and let us imagine/experience the arousal. So great.

I'm looking forward to the remaining stories. I'm confident they will not disappoint.

That was a great story.

It was interesting seeing Willow's worry over recognising that her feelings for Tara were stronger than normal between a sire and a childe. Also seeing Tara worrying that this closeness was normal and that Willow would tire of her soon and go looking for someone new to sire. Personally I don't see that ever happening, since they both seem to complement each other so well.

Which just goes to show that Willow and Tara are soul mates even when they don't, technically, have souls :wtkiss

The next part seemed like a very erotic form of chinese water torture.

I liked the way Willow was, at first bored by the experience (and maybe worrying that her childe was a bit wet (if you'll forgive the pun) when it came to be a dom) but then getting more and more into it.

Then it was the perfect end to the story, with Willow wanting water rather than blood.

This is another wonderful entry in this very skillfully crafted series. I'm enjoying the range of emotions this project has brought forth - from the enchanting Moon, to the hilarity and burning desires on the high seas, and now, a darker but thoroughly refreshing exploration of water. I'm thankful for the suggestion to read Shadows & Sunlight (which was also brilliant btw) because I would have been truly lost.

This may be a stretch, but for me this story mirrored canon in a few ways. You have Tara wondering whether she will be left behind when Willow gets to LA, which was reminiscent for me of NMR. Also, how you've portrayed Tara in this story, she is the quiet strength, which was always how she was on the show. I like that. You're ending blew me a way with just one word - water. Very well done. Thank you for sharing!

Debra,
Your aqueous tale of the most versatile and all-encompassing of the elements was nothing short of breathtaking.
Willow and Tara:The Vampires that ate L.A.-Good Vibrations had better have what they need or there'll be hell to pay.
Now if my high school science class had included a video slide show with Willow and Tara in the shower describing the elemental capacity of water to be both a force of healing and also a force of absolute devestation sometimes in the span of a few seconds, then perhaps I'd have paid more attention.
Tara may have felt wood, leather, metal, and flesh but as she so ably demonstrates water is the antithesis to all of the qualities of those substances.
Whereas they are described as cold, rigid, and unfeeling, water can be hot, fluid, and tactile.
The way Tara completely shows her mastery of the BDSM game by making Willow the submissive without even touching her is nothing short of genius.
By the time the water drip had exceeded its objective rather like the machine in Kafka's "In the Penal Colony", even I sitting across the great divide of cyberspace was hypnotically parched by this form of psychological conditioning.
And I would trade anything to awaken after crawling through the desert of the mind to lap from the oasis of Tara's fountain of cream.
I can deny chicks in chainmail nothing.

Mmmmm Debra, Debra, Debra! What a wonderfully titillating (hehe....titillating) tale of WATER! I am absolutely blown away, and nearly speechless! (I did say nearly, not ENTIRELY...cause I do have a few things to say) :lol

Usually I'm not really the type to go for the VampWillow/ VampTara story scenes because I really enjoy a good romance...but I have to say that you have converted me. WOW! I didn't know that I could be so riveted and interested in two vampires gettin' it on....but I was. COMPLETELY!

I really loved the fact that you were able to hold on to the romance even though our girls were demons. They still had heart. I love that. You write passion so well....I could literally feel their need for each other mixed right along with the playful banter and self-questioning emotions. AWESOME! This was the best portrayal of Vampire Willow and Tara I've ever read! There were so many layers to their personalities and emotions that I could read sequel after sequel and never feel like I've seen all that these two have to offer.

And talk about using your "Theme" to its full advantage! As many times as I've read this fic from beginning to end (too many to mention here ) I can't help but be stunned each and every time by the flawless way you incorporated water. It was seamless and unrivalled in its fluidity the way you went from shower all the way to the modified form of "Chinese water torture" in one seamless stroke (hehe...stroke...)

I loved the way you described Willow's thoughts while she was experiencing Tara's ingenuity...going from the very calculated Willow that we all know, with the measuring of the amount of time between each drop to the vamp Willow we are all familiar with, when she felt the need to be the Dom even when playing at Submissive. I loved how Willow's patience right along with her control gradually wavered with each drop of water....WOW!

All I can say is.....well done Debra....

This story is just blissfully deviant! The dark shroud of Shadows and Sunlight carried forth to this installment. I don't know where you go Debra to create this mood but I hope you return and dish us out another episode of S/S.

As for this little helping I'm completely floored at the concept of domination by dripping water. So sneaky, subtle but effective. VT is insane, no doubt. VW is evil, no doubt. Couple those two and ooooh the possibilities. The fact that they are both bad relieves me of the sappy romance (which I love) and allows me to delve into a realm I'm not accoustomed to traversing. There still is that connection though between our girls, one that binds them, they are forever meant to be together no matter the form. I like that you kept that string attached tightly.

Wicked good, ELVIS!
