Consequences by Neil Vagg
This is my very first fan fiction so go easy on me ok! The idea is that 99% of the story is told from Willow's POV during the closing episodes of Buffy season 6, but each time a major event takes place when the other Scoobies are around the story also takes in their reactions, basically Willow-centric with a dash of Scooby Gang. Hope you like it!

Prologue
EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT THE SLAYING.
Or atleast it was up until 5 months ago it was. Life had been so simple, turn up to class, do homework then juggle a social life and save the world at the same time. You know how it was, the odd evil substitute teacher who turned out to be a giant bug, deceased piers rising from the grave and trying to bleed you to death. The normal teenage life… in Sunnydale it is anyway.
But when you're Willow Rosenberg it's easy to dodge the many evil things lurking in the shadows. Your best friend is the Slayer [the one girl in all the world who can stop the vampires and the forces of darkness], you have a werewolf for a boyfriend and at the same time you're a witch.
That's just how life was when your High School library was directly on top of a Hellmouth. A gateway that lead directly to hell, which could be opened and closed with the use of a spell. Bringing about hell on earth.
The real problem was then some big evil came around and tried destroying the world. They would always face it and they usually won. But when the mayor of Sunnydale [Mayor Wilkins 3rd] decided to hold is ascension at the class of 1999's graduation it was blatantly obvious something was going to go wrong. Sure enough it did. After spending weeks searching their extensive dark magic library the Scooby Gang [or Slayerettes] found that the only way to stop a pure ascended demon was with a rather large volcano.
Faced with the problem of total annihilation Willow had to make the sacrifice that she'd hoped she would never have to make. She had to aid in blowing up the High School in the hope that the blast would also take out the mayor.
You see Willow had always loved school. She excelled at being studios and was pretty much guaranteed to get an "A" in everything she did. They had to practically invent an entire Willow curriculum just to make sure she wasn't bored. That's why she got into magic and became a Wicca, she needed a challenge. Not that it provided much of one. She seemed to be a natural just like she was with a computer.
That was her Scooby job since day one. To hack into government files and find out about victims, missing persons and anything else that appeared to be going wrong on the Hellmouth. Giles didn't approve of Willow's use of magic. He was afraid she would go off the rails and become addicted, but she was sure that she was ahead of the game and would be fine.
But anyway, that was 5 months ago. Now Willow had new challenges. She was at UC Sunnydale. It was like a campus of Willows… and Buffy. The summer had brought quite a lot of change for the gang. Xander, Willow's best friend since kindergarten, had left on a road trip then come back when his car broke down and evil super-bitch Cordelia had left for L.A. Willow spent the summer helping Buffy get over the event of graduation but nobody took any notice of her own problems.
Some big evil was brewing and Willow couldn't determine whether it was she or something else. You see that on campus werewolf/boyfriend had been having an affair with a girl/shewolf so Willow had been on her own. Until she found Tara. Now everything was complicated, suddenly a whole New World of Wiccan ways was open to her and she was questioning her own sexuality.
That's when everything started to get complicated, you weren't supposed to have lesbian affairs, your boyfriend wasn't supposed to leave you and find religion and your best friend certainly wasn't supposed to pay no attention to you.
As usual Willow had turned to magic… but magic always has consequences.
