Title: Merry Christmas Darling
Summary: One-shot/song fic. Willow and Tara. Tara thinks about Willow and wishes her a Merry Christmas from afar. This is technically in the breakup, but the breakup time is different here since I know that Willow and Tara were still together, but I'm changing the time period.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Characters or the song. The characters belongs to Joss Whedon and Mutant Enemy and the song belongs to its rightful owners.
Staring up at the stars, Tara smiled softly as she watched the snow fall, causing the stars in the sky to flicker. She couldn't help but think of Willow as she looked at the stars, remembering the time she had laid of the roof with her lover looking at constellations. She smiled as she remembered Willow's child-like voice asking Tara to teach her the version that Tara created with her mother.
Tara sat there thinking of Willow, when a familiar song came on the radio. Tara smiled as she started to hum along with the radio before singing along.
Greeting cards have all been sent.
The Christmas rush is through.
Turning away from the window, walked over to sit on her bed, looking around her dorm. It hurt to think of spending any holidays without Willow, but Tara knew it was for the best. Tara frowned as she continued singing along to the radio.
But I still have one wish to make.
A special one for you.
Tara reached out and grabbed the familiar picture on her nightstand of a smiling Willow. Tara ran her finger over the smile she loved so much as she sung to the picture, thinking of her lover.
Merry Christmas, Darling
We're apart, that's true.
Tara frowned as she thought about her recent breakup with Willow. The magic addiction had become too powerful for Willow, and Tara knew that Willow was too far gone right now for her to be able to reason with her.
But, I can dream and in my dreams
I'm Christmasing with you
Holidays are joyful
There's always something new
But every days a holiday
When I'm near to you
Tara closed her blue eyes as she lowered the picture and let the words fill her heart with love as some of her favorite memories of last year's Christmas with Willow came to mind.
Oh the lights on my tree
I wish you could see
I wish it everyday
The logs on the fire fill me with desire
To see you and to say
Tara stood and walked back over to the window, letting her thoughts lost themselves as she whispered the last couple of verses of the song.
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I was with you
Oh the logs on the fire fill me with desire
To see you and to say
That I wish you Merry Christmas
Happy New Year too
I've just one wish on this Christmas Eve
I wish I were with you
I wish I were with you
Merry Christmas, Darling
