BtVS - Willow/Tara - first kiss

and she's the moon; willow/tara

[eppic.livejournal.com]

the thing about their first kiss is that tara kisses willow and not vice versa. tara remembers that her palms had been sweaty and her heart had been racing and she'd meant to ask, she really had, (is it okay if i kiss you right now? she'd wanted to say, she'd been thinking the words over and over for at least twenty minutes) but tara tended to trip over her words when she was nervous, and willow made her nervous. the good kind of nervous, but still, nervous all the same.

later, when tara kissed willow, willow always tasted of magic. it would crackle at the back of her throat and along her lips and tara could feel it when she pulled away. but that first kiss had tasted of nothing but willow (maybe chapstick, but tara hadn't exactly noticed; she'd been slightly preoccupied) and the surprised, "eeep!" willow had made when their lips had connected.

it was a good eep, willow had told her later. (after tara met oz she'd wondered if oz had made willow go eep.)

willow's lips had parted and tara had put a hand in her hair, and it was awkward but it was good, even if tara couldn't get close enough because willow's desk was inbetween them, or if they'd jumped apart when willow had accidently nudged one of tara's textbooks off the desk and it landed on the floor with a bang. willow had laughed and her cheeks had flushed red and tara felt herself blushing to match and...

"that was really nice," willow said, and her smile had been small and shy and tara had fallen just a little bit in love with her just then. "can we do it again?"

tara meant to say yes, but instead she just leant forward again and pressed her lips back to willow's.

Downton Abbey - Matthew/Mary - winter morning

Empty Rings Around Your Heart. Part 1/2

[oltha_heri.livejournal.com]

I haven't even reread through this. It's late. And it's angsty.

The pacing came through the wall back and forth, towards her, then away. Mary could hear him (and she knew it was him, could picture the wringing of his hands the way her father would offer him a scotch to steady his nerves, and the halting way he'd choke it down, nervous, nervous, nervous). He is waiting, and so is she now. She tried to be helpful! She was helpful during the war! But apparently she found the idea of childbirth far more distressing than bandaging a leg that had been partly blown away by a German shell. Her mother had sent her from Mrs. Crowley's bedside (Countess, Mary would have to call her one day, the title her Mother held, her Grandmother had held, and what would she be, what would she be? Lady Mary, never anything more, she thinks).

The door behind her opens and she can tell from the heavy way the door opens that it is her father not Matthew who is leaving. He does not look down the hallway and she is left alone to her vigil over Matthew's steps. Towards her, away, towards her, away: he is waiting for his child she tells herself as she digs her nails into the upholstered arms of the chair she sits in. It is not her place to comfort him (as it was not her place to meet him at the station when he returned, as it was not her place to smile at him and kiss him and press him to her bed with her lips and hips to remind him home, home, home, as it was not her place to stand beside him while he grinned stupidly at her father and introduced him to the next mistress of Downton). She hears the pacing stop, and suddenly that worries her (suddenly, and she nearly laughs at herself because of course she is worried, he is so scared and she would not wish for a second of any pain on him). She is determined when she rises from her chair, certain of her decision to watch over him when she reaches for the handle, positive that she will only check when she twists and opens the door. And then he is there, his profile clear and bathed in the soft winter light that comes through the windows of the library. And momentarily (as always) she is taken away by him.

He turns to look at her, and his mouth drops slightly in surprise (he has never learnt to properly conceal his feelings, and inside she smiles fondly). She finds her hand is twisting nervously against the handle she has not released and takes a breath to still herself, control herself. "I was removed from the sickroom," and she smiles self-depricatingly only to see his whole face drop, and it hits her. "I didn't sickroom, I meant the birth room- the- I-." Her unforgivable babbling foolishness is shut up by a bang. Her hands are raised to help explain and the door, once free from her nervous grip, flew shut. She is a dolt, a stupid, graceless, buffoon.

But suddenly Matthew smiles slightly.

It feels like her world brightens. (Stop, she tells herself, as she has had to tell herself the past two years he has returned. You gave him up, she thinks. Inside there is a part of her banging against her ribcage for release. A thump that has sat there since before the war: I never didn't love you. It was never for want of loving you. I would've said yes if we had had to live on the streets if only I was worthy of you, but she wasn't and she never would be so that feeling remained locked beneath her heart and her heart was to stay quiet underneath her breeding).
