Interesting take on this scene. Willow vs. Sentinel and Guide - quite a matchup! And Blair picking up, however subtly, on Tara's power. Too bad Jim scared poor Xander....

[lit_gal]

Willow really was out of control, and Jim and Blair are not going to make any excuses. And I'm not sure if Xander was more afraid of Jim or of Jim trying to stop Willow.

Blair & Jim would be the perfect team to help out Tara after the mental rape done by Willow. It doesn't matter how much you love someone, what Willow was just wrong.

[lit_gal]

I can really see Tara being drawn to Blair's energy and Jim's protective instincts. They're good men. And yeah, Willow was way out of line!

It's too early in the morning for me. I just glanced at the header and it saw Sentinel /Buffy so I assumed it was a continuation of the one with Riley and all of a sudden I'm back in S6 so all it did was confuse me *sigh*

Now that I'm slightly less confused I can't wait to see what will happen next.

It's now almost my bedtime and I've reread it and like the others I'm wondering what happened to Xander as the three of them - Tara, Jim and Blair - go off to confront Willow minus the Xan-man.

Also is Buffy around in this AU? Or was she never brought back?

Oh yeah, that would be totally confusing. The TtH shorts are just whatever crosses my mind. And who knows whether I'll continue any of these or polish them into real stories. And Xander is off working very hard to keep Willow from splatting Jim for trying to get in the middle. Although I'm sure Jim *thinks* he's intimidating Xander.

I always felt badly for Tara that was such an awful thing for Willow to do. I like the idea of the three of them taking her on, she might just have met her match with that threesome. I'd be interested in knowing what happens next if you choose to expand on this. Thank you.

[lit_gal]

That really was a horrifying thing to do. I know I wouldn't have been able to forgive her, and I really think that Jim and Blair would counsel Tara to get out and stay out of this relationship.

I had to think, I wonder what Jim would make of Buffy. This is really good, I do like Buffy/Sentinel crossovers.

[lit_gal]

I think Jim and Buffy would probably hate each other--two alpha dogs in a small space, so not good.

[yanagi_wa]

Oh, yeah. Buffy would be all Valley Girl and Jim would get Dark Ops. The snark alone would kill. *g*

I had fun with Experience Curve just because I loved putting those two in close quarters and watching the homicidal urges pop out.
