Ramblings of an Old Kweer

 
   This one was conceived ; written; edited and, now posted this morning as the latest in a set of fics written for elisi 's birthday.

 

  TITLE: The Shadows of Reality

  AUTHOR: kerkevik_2014

  FANDOM: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  CHARACTERS: Tara Maclay; Dawn Summers;

  SUMMARY: People's fears and insecurities never go away really; some learn to hide them better that's all.

  A/N: Sometimes I wish we'd seen more of Tara the Mom on the show; Willow being the Dad in most people's fanfics, which I can see actually, and honestly who would Dawn go to when things begin to develop with Lisa?

 

     “Gotta trust her Dawnie.”

   Dawn muttered.

   “It's that simple.”

   Tara stared steadfastly back into Dawn's frustrated, miserably apologetic eyes. “What did you expect me to say?”

   Dawn laughed bitterly, “You're worse than...”

   “You're sister?” Tara suggested.

   “Mom,” completed Dawn, sticking her tongue out, apathetically, when Tara winked; thanking her for the compliment.

   Hugging Dawn she told her softly, “She deserves to know, Dawnie.”

   “And I need to know whether this is real?”

   Tara's heart broke when Dawnie looked up at her, “How real am I?”

   Gripping her tight to her breast she answered.

   “You feel real enough to me, Dawnie.”

 

 

     Goddess watch over us all,
