CHAPTER THIRTEEN:

Considering how restless their previous night had been and everything else that had happened since, it was no wonder that the witches ended up dozing, their arms wrapped around each other.

Tara woke first, blinking at the mid-afternoon sun that flooded the room. Beside her Willow snored softly.

Aww cute, the blonde ( Read more... )

CHAPTER TWELVE:

In the morning, both witches woke to the same thought - Why are we fighting? - and the determination to put things right.

But despite their resolve, their initial meeting was awkward.

Willow shifted from foot to foot as she stood in the doorway to the kitchen. In a matter of seconds, her mind frantically came up with a ( Read more... )

CHPTER ELEVEN

NOTE: This chapter is dedicated to Sayumi, on her birthday.

To her and to everyone else who’s been reading “Days of Grace,” thanks for your patience, and sorry for the long wait. =)

It’s just the two of us.

If that hadn’t been on Willow and Tara’s minds before, there was nothing like arriving at the quiet, empty ( Read more... )

Breakfast was good. The witches were treated to full-blown Summers fare, complete with heaps of bacon and eggs and, to their delighted surprise, crepes filled with sliced strawberries and cream.

"Least we can do," the sisters smiled. This was part of the plan too.

Afterwards, by some unvoiced agreement, the foursome split into pairs. Tara ( Read more... )

CHAPTER TEN

Some time in the night they had moved.

Morning found Willow lying on her back while Tara had turned around to face her, draping an arm over her waist and burrowing into the familiar crook of her shoulder. Somehow, a Willow-arm had snuck beneath and around the witch’s body, pulling her close.

It was like a hundred other ( Read more... )

Dawn didn't take too well to Buffy's announcement that she was flying back tomorrow...and that the youngest Summers was coming with her.

“I understand that you want to spend time with Tara. Really I do. But you can’t just go AWOL, Dawn. You have to let your teachers know. I don’t want them dropping you just because you’re suddenly a no- ( Read more... )

CHAPTER SEVEN:

Willow looked intently at their joined hands, as if to draw strength from their connection.

“There was a girl,” she began. “She was Dawn’s age, a precog. Her name was Cassie Newton, and she had a premonition that she was going to die. We tried to save her, and in a way we did, but in the end we still lost her. Buffy says ( Read more... )

CHAPTER SIX:

Willow woke up to what was probably the happiest morning of her life in recent memory. Until panic set in. It was real, wasn’t it? It wasn’t some long, incredibly detailed dream?

She leapt out of bed and checked the other rooms, but even Dawn’s bedroom was empty. Nervously, she made her way down towards the kitchen.  No words ( Read more... )
