Re: Fic: Simple Choices...NC-17 Buffy/Willow (5/?)

["Howard Russell" <howardrussell2000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Chris!

Glad to see you posting here as well as everywhere else.  I do appreciate it.  I love the fic, and not just because I made the original challenge.  A challenge, I might add, that you're meeting spectacularly.

I do have a suggestion/comment to make.  It might have been interesting to have had Giles help Willow cast the spell in the end of this chapter.  In canon, Tara and Willow's spells were a metaphor for lesbian sex (until they were suddenly a metaphor for crack cocaine, of all things!)  If Giles had cast with Willow, it would have distanced your version from the lesbian metaphor.  Returned magic to being just magic again.  Maybe also symbolically drive a wedge between Willow and Tara, leaving room for a certain slayer we all know and love.  Just a thought.

Discuss.

Your fellow 'shipper,
Howard
