The sickness hollowed her out. Her mother had never been a heavy woman, but illness made the humanity seem to fade away: the light in her eyes, her smile, they just faded away as her skull became more and more apparent beneath the graying skin.
The first time Tara sees a vampire dusted, she isn’t frightened because a world of impossible monsters is opening up before her; she is frightened because in the moment before the ashes fall to the ground, she sees the wound of death bare the bone.

Malcolm Reynolds is a very tense man. It’s not to be unexpected: he’s got a lot of responsibility resting on his broad shoulders. Captaining, thieving - Simon has learned not to call it “petty” thieving; Mal’s etiquette prevents him from hitting women but does not extend to any men anywhere, not even soft-mouthed, clumsy-tongued ones who share his bed - and struggling against the shadow of the Alliance leave a man a bit beleaguered during the day. But not at night. At night, as Simon slips the suspenders from Mal’s shoulders, as he unbuttons his shirt and removes that, too - he insists on doing these things; Mal’s a big boy, but there are certain things that fall in a lover’s domain, and it has become a nightly ritual that Simon strips Mal of his clothing and his burdens and leaves him naked and relaxed and his.

Tara’s power wasn’t as strong as her mother’s, but she was always a reader. Even as a child, her empathic ability was strong. Therefore, when Willow introduced her to Faith-in-Buffy’s-Body, it didn’t take her long to figure out the ruse.
The girl in Buffy’s skin made an impression though. Such an angry, loud slash of aura, screaming from inside. Tara thinks she feels her sometimes, in crowds, on the street. They’re destined to meet again somewhere: Faith is seeking her out.

I can't wait to see what else you come up with. hehe.
You know, you're a wicked good writer, have you thought about RPing? It might help sometimes pass the time and what not.
Ok, my drugged butt's heading to bed. Night dear, I'll be around tomorrow [prob early] if you wanna/need to talk.

Ohhhh I so very love.

I'm glad you like it! And yeah, you have provided me with some challenges. I'm interested to see what I come up with, too. :P

I don't actually have time during the school year. I'm actually over-booked and this is me being irresponsible. But no, I haven't RP'ed, really.
G'night, hon. Sweet dreams!

Home economics is totally worth it. Harrison never considered Sam the domestic goddess type, but after little Mac was born, she had a sudden surge of maternal instinct and switched from shop. He changed, too, partly to join her, partly to avoid Brooke, physically fine after the incident with Nicole’s car but not a picnic to be around after the incident in the restaurant preceding it.
As he watches Sam absentmindedly lave cookie dough off her finger, the thought echoes through his mind again: Totally worth it.

And just so I don't sound like a broken record, I'm going to go with Brooke/Sam, fireflies.
(but I'm not shipping Mary Cherry; you can't make me do it)
Oh, but I think you should. With Gwyneth. It could be an unrequited type of... um, thing.

They lay on their backs in the warmwet grass, watching the dark sky, marred by unnatural stars.
Brooke’s comments are punctuated by the crunch of popcorn: “Isn’t it weird how in LA you can see the fireflies so well because the sky’s too polluted for the stars to show?”
Sam’s just glad she’s eating, and thinks that weirder things happen in LA, that beautiful girls starve themselves pretty when in other places in the world people are literally dying for something to eat. She can’t think of anything to say that won’t earn her a derisive snort or a “God, Sam,” so she turns to her side and busies her mouth kissing Brooke’s neck.

Above comment makes me happygiddy.
It's posted. You should come back and read it. And you can request Sam/Harrison for your next one. (Yay procrastination! I don't need to learn no stinkin' physics!)

You're so awesome at this. Sam/Harrison, new.

This came out not as happy as I wanted it to. Sorry.
It’s hard to adjust. They’ve had their traditional roles for so long: non-threatening, one-of-the-girls guy for Harrison; always-second-best, never-Brooke for Sam. And now it’s different to have to bloom into the new position of first and foremost, beloved. Birth is always painful, but the overriding quality to the newness is an awkwardness that neither of them has ever felt with the other. Sam spends wasted hours in front of the mirror, wondering if it would be beyond stupid to bleach her hair, if she’d be what he wants if she wears a better eye shadow. Harrison haunts bookstores, looking for the perfect words to soothe his nervous tongue. It shouldn’t be like this: it was never like this before.
But sometimes, when they’re together, they can get caught in the moment, in the experience of one another, and completely forget that they’re supposed to be dating, and it’s almost like nothing ever happened, that no new territory was ever staked out.
And that’s better.
