Just opened up LJ ... and, Well Done at SlayerStillness.
I have been so bad at entering recently - I must get organised. I am trying to do 4 sets of 20's a month .... so that tends to drown out the creative juices!
Thank you hon! I see you entered btvs_hush (as well as recent icons for star trek and blakes 7 on your LJ) so you hardly seem slacking to me! (the little bad icon you did with the colored ray effect was one of your most delightful ever btw.)
And I think you'll quite enjoy the story, Gabrielle did a wonderful job of capturing so much in a "little moment" of time.
Will get there to see the story soon. btw, did you see the link I gave you in the last Buffy/Tara post you made ... I think they were such an unused friendship.
I did see your link thank you! I absolutely agree Buffy and Tara were an un(der)used friendship.
I do beg to agree to disagree on the notion of Tara as a spuffy shipper in an S6 setting (which is so problematic eight ways to Sunday and back.) S7 on the other hand? Oh yes, I could go for Tara in S7 friends with Buffy and Spike, and she and Spike having Buffy's back in Empty Places. Oh my yes...
but variety is the spice of life, yes? If we insisted our friends thought exactly the same as us, none of would have any friends!
Oh I know what you mean about season 6 Spuffy .... I very rarely read fics from that year, which is why I surprised myself with the fic idea!
I think that if Tara had been allowed to develop she would have been a real calming influence, but would have also taught the others to be more accepting of those around her .... maybe BtVS would have finished at the end of season 5, but the Scoobies would be more at peace with themselves, even while mourning their loss.
Oh I so, so agree. I once had someone tell me I had been brainwashed as I believed in the Bible ... I asked her why she wanted me to believe in her faith, and she said because it was correct ... to my way, if I had changed I would have been brain-washed. I love all the jobs I have had as they have been working with the general public, and that is one of the things I love, the variety ... you learn so much more that way.

Off to read the Buffy/Tara fic in a moment.
