Bloom

by Red Wolf

Spike enjoyed watching Tara. As the centre of attention she was clumsy and tongue-tied, but if he chanced to observe her unawares, a different Tara emerged.

When helping Dawn with homework, Tara was eloquent and patient, always able to communicate the logic and complexity of a problem. When she was preparing spells or packaged magic ingredients for Anya, there was a grace and fluidity to her movements.

Seeing her dance when she thought nobody was watching, Spike mused that she was much like his younger self. He hoped she had a chance to blossom without the demonic intervention he suffered.

Excellent thougts actually, a comparison i would never have drawn, but so right — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 14.01.2005 13:05 AEST |

I really like Spike's introspection — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 14.01.2005 13:07 AEST |

Now the prepared I understand, as I rejigged that section, but where was my brain with glace? Weird.

Thanks for the catch and pleased you enjoyed it — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.01.2005 13:07 AEST |

This is a lovely little snippet. It's well constructed and completely self-contained — and I think it captures the emotion involved without resorting to either too much or too little. I like the concept of how people change when they don't think they're obligated to be self-conscious. Enjoyed it. X3 — via LiveJournal — posted by Luci at 14.01.2005 13:08 AEST |

Many thanks, you've made me feel all warm and fuzzy — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 14.01.2005 13:08 AEST |
