underherspell: (And nothing)

I want to search for her

WHO: Willow and Tara
WHERE: their apartment
WHEN: sometime after the whole Buffy is gone and Skrulls are here revelation!
WARNINGS: None that I can think of? Will update.
SUMMARY: The world seems to have gone crazy... which is their standard but, still. This calls for a private moment between the girls over dinner.
FORMAT: Quick


[There was something surreal about watching the world around her fall into paranoia and despair and not having a certain blond Slayer here. Tara can see it so clearly in her mind; all of them sitting together brain storming. They'd come up with something that resembled solid plan and through a lot of improvising the day will somehow be saved. Moments like these were when Buffy and the rest of the Scoobies by association shined brightest, Tara thought.

Buffy was gone though. The Scoobies were down to just two witches. Tara wasn't sure where they could fit into things here. All she did know for certain was that she had little intention of leaving Willow's side until this blew over. If it did.]


Baby... [Tara calls out from her spot by the stove. She's trying to make a spaghetti dinner for the two of them.]

Do you want some garlic bread or mashed potatoes with this?

*Willow's been trying to do some reading online. Productive is good, right? It's distracting, and goodness knows that she needs to be distracted a little bit lately. Whether or not it's working is debatable, but it's something.

She's quick to shut her laptop and join Tara in the kitchen.*


You need help? 'Cause either of those sound pretty good, but I feel sorta lame not participating at all.
magicking: (content willow is content.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-09 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that I can definitely do. I mean, I'm not so much with the culinary ability, but potato-mashing is definitely feasible.

*A big smile. Things don't seem so overwhelming when they were having their semi-silly them time.*
magicking: (enthusiastic willow is enthusiastic.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-10 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Perfect. Useful time is good indeed.

*So she'll get right to it.*
magicking: (thinking willow is thinking.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-10 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I've -- y'know, I've been better.

*Siiigh. Smile.*

But it's gonna be... okay.
magicking: (serious willow is serious.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-11 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Mostly I'm just -- I'm worrying. Kind of a lot.

*Big deep breath.*

And it feels strange and wrong and I don't know what's gonna happen, and that's also... really not good.

*Nervous laughter, now.*
magicking: (comforted willow is comforted.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-12 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
*Willow tries for a smile.* Yeah. Together's the thing to do. Definitely really is, and we'll -- we can do it.

*Together means she's a little less afraid of herself.*
magicking: (serious willow is serious.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-13 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
That, that's -- part of it, yeah.

I'm afraid of what could happen. I just don't know if it can be made okay, and it needs to be.

And I think I'm also afraid of -- *Her voice drops.* y'know, what I might do. If and when the going gets tough. Which is seriously selfish and unhelpful, but.
magicking: (nervous willow is nervous.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-14 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
I think -- I don't trust myself enough to know what I would or wouldn't do.
magicking: (affectionate willow is affectionate.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-15 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
*She's reaching for one of Tara's hands to hold onto now.* I'll try. As hard as I can, maybe even harder.

*Then, almost anxiously:*

What about you? How's all of this... what are you feeling?
magicking: (serious willow is serious.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-17 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
There always was, y'know. A certain sense of we-can-do-it with her. Now it's... yeah. Not so definite.
magicking: (perplexed willow is perplexed.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-18 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
*A heavy sigh.*

Sometimes I think this place just brings out the worst in people. A lot of them are so... something that they can't just help each other. Which isn't at all good.
magicking: (serious willow is serious.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-18 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I --

*Frown. Well, there might be. But she's not going to do it, or suggest it, or even think about it too hard.*

I think if we do whatever we can, it must count for something. Both in a getting-things-done way and maybe a showing-examples way, maybe.
magicking: (perplexed willow is perplexed.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-19 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Like... "look! You don't have to be angry with each other, you can do things like this!"

Or something like that.

*Doubtful, maybe, but hopeful.*
magicking: (doubtful willow is doubtful.)

[personal profile] magicking 2012-02-19 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
*Yes, right, potatoes that need to be mashed, too.*

Sometimes that's -- yeah. There's not a lot of other choices.
magicking: (content willow is content.)

*Tara's smile makes Willow smile, too.*

Of course, baby. I'll always.
