Hey gang! Is it too late to post a Christmas(or Hannukah) challenge? Oh well, here's one. My challenge is simple; write a warm, sweet story involving Buffy and Willow, either as an established couple or just discovering the possibilities together. The story must be set during the Christmas season, from any year, and must involve the following song by Sarah McLachlan, "Song For a Winter's Night". The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top The snow is softly fallin' The air is still within the silence of my room I hear your voice softly callin' If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love Upon this winter night with you The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead My glass is almost empty I read again between the lines upon the page The words of love you sent me If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love Upon this winter night with you The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim The shades of night are liftin' The mornin' light steals across my windowpane Where webs of snow are driftin' If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love And to be once again with you To be once again with you. "Once, years ago, I saved the life of a wise old priest. Grateful, he made a gift to me of these few precious words: If you find yourself on a cliffside, trapped, with a hungry tiger waiting above and a hungry tiger waiting below, and by chance you spy a single strawberry growing from the cliffside... pluck the strawberry... and bite into it... and taste it." --Frank Miller "Ronin" |
