New Fic: Darkness Falls

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

Kris,

god, you're so bad! i don't know why i got myself into this. and yes, i admit it, i loved it but i need more, this is the most horrifying cliffhanger ever - are you aware of that? that also means it's well written, i know, but ... c'mon, give us the update, i know you can do it! and don't "tick, tick, tick" me or i'm gonna tell B, i will, and we may just decide to go on with the show without a "Mistress of..." . anyway, have fun today writing the update.

Heh, no worries



Yes, they are good. Touching is always good. I was reading this yesterday and when I was finished my knee was all wet. Now you might ask how that comes .. well, I read stuff on the comp with my left foot on my chair and my chin resting on my bend knee. I couldn't make those tears stop from falling, and yes, it's sad, but when a writer can evoke such strong emotion in me it's all sorts of good.. good writing that is Because that is what I am reading for.

Lindy: I made you cry? Yay me! I mean to say, yay, I wrote good, not yay you cried. Oh, nertz, you know what I mean, darn it!



C,

I told you, I’m not really bad, I’m just drawn that way! The worst cliffhanger EVER?! Excellent. Oh, uh, I mean, oops. . . Don’t tell B, I’ll be good, I’ll write, I’ll write.



Kris

“Frell that!”

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

Kris,

see you made other people cry as well, how can you? i'm sure you're just around in glee at home that your refined methods of torture still work impeccably

and B'll know anyway, we share everything - hello! 'bout to be married. and you should better get on with that writing and no more cliffhangers or you'll just have and kittens in your thread here!

enjoy typing.

ZipityDoDa, I'll have to ask C, but I see no problem in you comming to our wedding, I mean, after all, we have the board and Kris to thank.

C, equality is essential, but I don't think that will be a problem. You are a great harasser. And seeing as we are to be married, my pride for you is the least that you could ask of me.

Kris, I heard the tick tick tick! You know what I have to say about that!? Nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag!!!

[KrisBo5]

C,

How can I make other people cry? I guess pretty well. Hehehe. I do it all in love, ya know. Sitting around in glee at my house? Oh, yes, that’s me exactly – gleeful. Well, don’t ask my co-workers about that! But I love cliffhangers, I can’t do them anymore?



B,

Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh. . . .

This story is phenomenal! I was reading the last update on the edge of my fricken chair. Very very dark, I like that! You have a wonderful way of balancing the dark and angsty with a strong portrayal of the beautiful love between our favorite witches. I also love the way you write the rest of the Scoobies, they are extremely likeable, unlike the crap we got this past season. Keep up the brilliant work. Can hardly wait for next update!

- Dime con quien andas y te dire quien eres -

[KrisBo5]

4WiccanLuv: Why thank you for them kind words. I aims to please. Update is in the works, so stay tuned. . . oh, yeah, assume crash positions.



Kris

"Frell that!"

[Marilda]

NEXT. PART. NOW!!!!

[salsasharkok]

Great googly moogly.



This has a nice and fuzzy happy ending, right? Please?

[KrisBo5]

Night talk here, just checking in:



Marilda: LOL! All good things to those who wait . . . .



salsasharkok: Um, that would be telling . . .



Kris

“Frell that!”

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

Kris,

you advise people to assume crash positions? this is bad! so how's the typing going?

B,

Kris can come to our wedding - if she has a printed copy of the NC 17 rated, 23-paged last update with her (not that we would need any inspiration for the wedding night, it'll just be a bonus ).

[KrisBo5]

C,

Well, you said "Do Tell" so, eh-hem, assume crash positions, yes that would probably be good. Oh, and the emergency exits? You should probably keep them in your line of sight, too. As for the typing, you're reading these words, aren't you??? Yay, I get to come to the wedding!! Woo-hoo! Um, 23 pages? Really? Maybe I should slow down, take my time . . .

Kris

"Frell that!"

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

oh god Kris, you evil woman! if you take you're time and slow down and keep it up with the tick, tick i'll never get married! could you actually live with that????????????

[KrisBo5]

C,

Hmm, why yes, I believe I could . . .

Kidding! You'll get married, believe you me! I'll get you two to that altar one darn way or another!

Off to bed now, glad I caught you online -- I stayed on hoping I would.

Kris

"Frell that!"

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

sleep tight, Kris.

[KrisBo5]

C,

I sure did, unfortunately, no kitties there to keep me nice & cozy!

Kris

"Frell that!"

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

Kris,

i sure would oblige if i did get an update every night, besides other ... stuff - i probably would happily do it with the promise of just stuff and no updates, but then again i'm already taken, but we could work out something with the aid of B too. think about it.

no that you're rested and awake you can finish the update to be posted later this day, right? you have started writing on it, sure you have ... you haven't? well you must have.

C

[KrisBo5]

C,

See me? This is me? Type, type, type, type, type, ding, return, type, type, type, type. . .

I'm sure B would LOVE to oblige. . .

Kris

"Frell that!"

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

a typing (update typing, mind you!) Kris is a good Kris, just like a fast posting Kris is a great Kris.

[KrisBo5]

C,

I'm not "great" unless I'm fast-posting? Oh, the slings! The arrows! I'm hurt. I don't think I can type anymore. Wah!

Kris

"Frell that!"

[VampNo12]

Wow Kris that was an amazing update, definitely a roller-coaster of emotions! First I loved the scene of W&T waking-up together. It was just so sensual, caring, and above all a true depiction of their love. Also I loved how W&T conveyed that the words "I love you" really doesn't say all that is between them (ie they are so connected body and soul, sometimes words can't convey the depth of feeling they share with one another).



As for the next part I love the "calm before the storm", with the quiet of a Sunday, a simple action of retrieving coffee for the gang, and then wham the start of the nightmare begins. I am truly intrigued with Tara being "gifted with sight" (ie she was able to see the demons, as well her dreams foreshadowing the ugliness to come), and you get the sense of how harrowing this situation was for Tara if she was willing to do the spell on Willow in order for her to see the "truth".



Lastly, the last part was truly riveting and harrowing at the same time. I could so feel each of the scoobies fears as they were edging towards the destination of the car. And when that dart hit Willow, with her slowly fading out of consciousness it hit me as hard, as it hit the scoobies (especially when Willow made Tara promise she would protect Buffy). I can't wait to find out what Madrine plans on doing with Tara, and what happens to Willow (she has to be ok)!

[KrisBo5]

VampNo12: Oh, my, you just give the bestest feedback! Thank you so much! Glad it was sensual and riveting and harrowing. I try, you know. Hope you keep reading, the update is forthcoming. . .

Kris

"Frell that!"

[funkyasian]

no for the love of all that is good...not willow...my willow (okay, i wish my willow but not really)!!



please put my mind at ease...not willow!!!



steph

[KrisBo5]

funkyasian: Shhh, don't tell . . . but, yes, afraid to say, your Willow. Um, if I said not your Willow, that would be telling, wouldn't it? Thanks for reading!

Kris

"Frell that!"

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

Kris,

just checking, can you type again? and you know we love you anyway, but updates get you so much more loving! btw, have you seen B around? i miss her.

so now that i've reassured you regarding our undying love for you, you can post, right?

C

[singgirl]

C!! I missed you too, I'm sorry I have been gone, my internet died again. I think I never proposed properly to you. *gets down on one knee holding out a ring* C, there are lots of trials and tribulations one must go through through life. All these years I have suffered my own, however, I never gave them much thought. The worst fate i could think of is to live my life without you in it. C, will you marry me?





Kris, "I'm sure B would LOVE to oblige. . ." what are you trying to say about my character?? Where are the updates?? nag nag nag!!

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

oh B,

this was so cute! *sniffs happily* the loveliest proposal ever. the answer is YES, yes, a thousand times yes. and i love the ring! and while you were away Kris has been bad (she's says she's not bad per se, that she's just drawn to it, but it's kinda hard to believe), she made people and she won't post!

see Kris, i told i would tell B, my knight in shining armour who will not tollerate such behaviour towards her fiance! and you still didn't post the update for the happy couple (that's us, if you forgot) - how about it: an update as an engagement present?

C

[singgirl]

Kris, you are making people cry?? More importantly you are making my beloved C cry?? HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the only proper way to appologize is to update! C, I am defending you, hope I get a reward or do I have to wait for the wedding night, cuz for you I would wait an eternity, I just...would rather not!

[IsayAmberBensonsgorgeous]

B honey,

of course you'll get your reward, and i have a pretty good idea how to reward you, i'm sure you do too and waiting until the wedding night - overrated and NO WAY, we can always pretend we did wait, noone will know the truth .

Kris,

appologizes accepted (if you have 2 updates in your backpack - one will not do anymore). rise and shine (while writing) - it's a beautiful saturday (lots of spare time you can properly use for updating - and these are no subtle hints, we're demanding here).
