Re: FIC: A Firm Foundation (7b of ?)

RW,

Exhibitionist!Willow is a cool concept, but it doesn't seem to really
fit with Will's major freakage earlier in the chapter.  Plus I suppose
there's a difference between "Woohoo, someone could be watching!" and
getting peeped on (and taped, and possibly distributed on the 'net)
without your knowledge/consent.  

Come to think of it, I'm getting a vibe that the slap is supposed to
excuse what Tara did (since Willow also did something "really shitty")
and it feels a little like you've jerked Will around just so we're not
angry at Tara.  Which...not with the liking.  Especially since I think
the "once a Scooby" sentiments would have allowed a reconciliation
without that plot device.

But enough with the negative.  Thanks for the reminder on Willow being
magic-free and loving it;  thanks for Dawn standing up for B/W as true
love;  thanks for Willow being upset at Buffy (because, completely
illogical as it is concerning the actual events, I do see keeping Willow
happy as being Buffy's purpose, and when Will was freaked earlier, I was
a little upset at Buffy for letting it happen).

And thanks for "But see, it's that thought right there that kinda turns
me on."  I don't know if you were deliberately echoing "Consequences"
with that line, but it's a lovely mirror to the "pissing me off" line,
with Willow's being torn between support and jealousy recalled as Buffy
pingpongs between anger and arousal.

And of course thanks for "And we all know that no one touches my
Willow."  Darn tootin'!

But most of all, thanks for the index cards.  And :p to you, Dawnie, for
mocking Willow's preparedness.  It's a Hellmouth;  those index cards
could save a life!  (Well, they *could*!  I mean, you never know...)

So keep it coming!  And make Dawn an extra-long mix tape for those
headphones :)

Was Willow using the different-colored pens?  I have to know!

(Yes, originally that's a W/T reference.  But it's AllAboutWillow, and
thus adaptable for other 'shippage.  [See Lar's excellent "Gifted" for a
reference in a Willow/Xander context.])

Buffy:  "I kinda love you."
