Tara/Willow

A Girl With Kaleidosope Eyes
by Kyra Cullinen
Horror; post S6

A very short piece about love and loss and being haunted. Tara is dead… so why can Willow still see her? Beautiful and very sad.

Always the Good One

Angst; Character Study; S6
Willow's always been so good, but it's not enough any more. I love how visual this is.

Beloved Wife
by Kate Elizabeth
AU; post-Tough Love

Willow couldn't reverse what Glory did to Tara; months later, she sleepwalks through a typical day. Made me cry.

How Good Girls Get Laid
by Pares
Romance; Character Study; S4
A really sweet vignette about the moment when Willow really notices her new friend.

Little White House
by Kawcrow
Darkfic

This reminds me of a lot of Neil Gaiman's story poems - it's creepy and twisting and not about domestic bliss at all. I share the author's views on fan poetry, but I really enjoyed this.

Slices of Life: Subtext
by Jet Wolf
Humour; Fluff; S4
Supreme cuteness as the girls debate Xena slashy subtext.

Truly and Forever
by Melymbrosia
Horror; post S6
"There is something wrong with her eyes…." Little vignette from Tara's point of view where just when you think you know what it's about… Very creepy.

Whereas the Body
by Teanna

Surreal vignette. 'I hear you killed a boy for me today, Willow.'
