TITLE: "The Lost Songs"
AUTHOR: Doctor Strangelove (strangelove317@hotmail.com)
PAIRINGS: Willow/Tara.
SPOILERS: "Conversations With Dead People", takes place during
"Help".
FEEDBACK: I'd love it.
DISCLAIMER: Joss owns all the Buffy characters. I own the songs they sing.
A/N: Okay I know this fic is supposed to be songs from "Once More, With
Feeling" but when "Cassie" mentioned that Tara still sang to
Willow I just started writing this. Now, I know "Cassie" was trying to
trick Willow, but let's just assume she was telling the truth about Tara still
singing.
"The Lost Songs"
Written by: Doctor Strangelove
[We see Willow sitting in front of Tara's grave.]
WILLOW
Hey. It's me.
[The picture slightly blurs and we pan out to see that someone is watching it through what looks like a puddle in the air. A very familiar tune begins to play as a glowing hand reaches out to touch the puddle.]
WOMAN'S VOICE
I lived my life in shadow,
It always seemed all right.
When you came along that changed,
[The camera turns around and we see a glowing Tara kneeling in some dark blue mystic looking place.]
TARA
[Glows brighter]
You became my light.
I'm under your spell
Known from the start,
My life, you were a major part.
Things didn't end too swell.
But death won't keep us apart,
You'll forever have my heart.
Had to leave you behind,
End of my mortal days.
I always took for granted,
We'd be together always.
Even though I had to leave,
I will always believe!
I'm under your spell,
My death made you blue,
Your vengeance hurt me, true.
And my heart, it fell,
But know, no matter what you do,
[We go away from Tara and focus on Willow again, still in front of the grave. We see her lips moving but can't hear her talk.]
TARA [cont'd]
I will always love you.
[The music comes to a slow close, not the abrupt end like last time, as Willow continues talking.]
