A Woman In Uniform - FINISHED (finally) 3/23/2013

[taralicious]

Magical, poetic, and magnificent was this update to a favorite series of mine as who indeed could resist the allure of the hippie chick and the cop?
Willow shall try it on with the pretty blonde, prettier than the one her grandmother alludes to IMO, and Tara will make her very happy as they complement each other in such a spiritual way already.

[love_2003]

Happy that this story was not forgotten. Looking forward to reading more.

[The Rose24]

I am so happy you are continuing this story.

Now, let's get Heather!

[umgaynow]

Thanks everybody for the enthusiastic response...it's a good feeling that you haven't given up on me...not sure when the next update will be...the muse is a harsh mistress, especially when Fibromyalgia is playing pingpong with your brain cells...but I promise you it will be finished at some point...we're maybe 3 or 4 chapters from the end...I won't leave you hanging...Sandi out

[sapphoselene]

[mmmh-Hot-Sauce]

Damn, I thought there was an update.

[Willowtree252]

My wife has an update ready to go as soon as we get internet access she will post it

[umgaynow]

Don't want to shock anyone too much, but I have drafts of two chapters written. Just need some touchups and will post as soon as I can get to the library. But prepare yourself, the angst train is about to burn the rails

A Woman in Uniform - Chapter 24


Tara leapt up, knocking her chair off its legs, "You bitch! You duplicitous little bitch!"

Every eye in The Bronze was riveted upon her, most especially those of the stunned and stunning redhead seated across from her. Eyes filled with pain and confusion and a mouth hanging open in mute shock.

"Stupid!" the blonde exclaimed, stomping her foot and gesticulating like a madwoman, "I am so fucking stupid! What the hell was I thinking getting involved with a cop?!? Bunch of testosterone soaked control freaks..."

The little redhead made a feeble attempt at speech, but managed nothing more than a jagged sigh.

"You just couldn't leave it alone, could you Willow? You just had to put your dick in the cup!"

Tears pooled in lovely green eyes, spilling over as they blinked, the only sign that the face they resided in did not belong to a statue.

"How many times did I tell you I could handle this on my own? Can you tell me that? How many, Willow? Huh? How many?" Tara's voice broke a little as tears began to flow from her own eyes, "Uh-huh...that's what I thought...Jesus Christ, did you ever trust me at all?"

Once again the redhead endeavored to respond, but was cut off by the force of her lover's rage.

"No...don't bother...don't even bother...I already know the answer," a shuddering breath, "I thought we had something, Willow...I really did...I loved you...God help me I still love you...and shmuck that I am I probably always will...but if I can't trust...if I can't..." roughly, she swiped at a tear that was hanging off her cheekbone, "FUCK! You know what? This is pointless...it's over, Willow...I'm done..."

She turned, as if to walk away, then paused and looked back over her shoulder. "And you better take a good long look at this sweet ass of mine, cuz it's the last time you're ever gonna see it!" she tossed her hair defiantly, "And don't even think of trying to put a tail on me!"

At last, the devastated redhead found her voice, "Tara! Baby...no! Please no...I need you baby...I need you...Tara!"

The angry blonde stepped closer, fixing her eyes on those of her now former lover, speaking gently, like a whisper only louder. "Awww...you need me? Well, that changes everything...forget what I just said...I'm sorry, sweetie...I take it all back." Then Tara hauled off and kicked her fallen chair halfway across the dance floor, "You know what? Fuck you, Rosenberg! Fuck you and the whore you rode in on!"

With that she turned toward the exit, extended one long, slender middle finger and without so much as a glance at the woman whose life she'd just tossed a grenade into, walked out the door.



"One...two...three...this is a test...Juicy Lucy comin' at ya...do you read me, Firecrotch? Come in, Firecrotch...OVER"

"Goddamn it, Faith! It's FireFly not Firecrotch! OVER."

"Sorry, B..."

"Uh-huh...Tinkerbell...are you reading me, Tinkerbell? OVER."

"Like a trashy Tinsel Town tell-all, FruitFly...OVER!"

"FireFly! It's FireFly damn it!"

"HeeeHeee," Xander giggled, impishly.

Just then, a low-flying clue happened by and hit the petite blonde right between the peepers. "Aaaaarrrrgghhhh...you guys are such assholes! Is Rebel Yell with you, Tink? OVER."

"Uh-uh...he went looking for a Starbucks. OVER."

"Grrrrrrrrrr..." Buffy snarled, "If you guys mess this up, I swear I'll..."

"Here he is...Ooooh sprinkles! Quit! That tickles! I mean OVER."

"Just pay attention, OK?" she sighed, "OVER."

"Aye-Aye, Firecrotch...OVER."

"Bitch! Juicy Lucy? Come back, Lucy...OVER."

"Is this that booty call I've been waiting on?"

"Faith! I really think your girlfriend is a bad influence. OVER"

"Just kidding, B...Yeesh, don't have a coronary! Reading you loud and clear...OVER."

"Is...um...Anya in position?"

"Anya? No sabe, FireFly...OVER."

"You're gonna make me say it aren't you?"

"Yup..."

"Can you see Deep Fried Pussy from your position? OVER."

"Yes ma'am...the Puss is deployed...OVER."

Buffy grumbled to herself, "Deep Fried Pussy, what does that even mean? Alright...alright...look sharp...target acquired...headed for your sector...OVER."

"You got it Firecrotch...Juicy Lucy OUT."

TBC

Well that's all for now my patient little kitties, hope you dug it even if the first bit was traumatic...then again angst is like getting hit on the head with a hammer...it feels so good when it stops

I still need to do more re-writes and my brain and body are a little tapped out after doing this...so it'll be next weekend unless we get to the library again before then

[zampsa19752001]

Yay for great update-y goodness... I truly hope that both Tara & Willow realize their mistakes and take huge steps in correcting them...

[Grimm]

Okay, I'm guessing this is all part of Willow's plan to flush out the suspect and that this was a staged fight . Deep fried pussy... ....Glad the story is back.

[Kajun]

Sandi, I was so excited to read that a new chapter was on the way that I dropped everything to re-read the entire story from the beginning. Soooooo glad I did. I haven’t had this much fun in a long, long time. If I pulled every quote that I loved.. well.. it wouldn’t fit into one post for sure. BUT.. I will revisit this one just coz it’s so dang funny:

Uh-uh...I was just wondering how many Muppets had to die to make this shirt.

There is so much going on here: hilarious banter, hottie hippie chicks in handcuffs and nail biting suspension that’s left me hanging so far off the edge of my seat that I’m not even sitting anymore!! Oh boy.. Willow has a plan to catch this psycho succubus.. err.. I pray all this is part of the plan. Assuming it is.. Poor Tara, I know the public break up was part of the plan but it must have been really difficult for her.. and Willow. Thank goodness the scoobies are on board coz that demon sounds especially evil with a capital B. I.T.C.A. The tag names are hilarious and even with all the goofing around, I’ve no doubt when it gets down to the nitty gritty, they’ll be all business.

I’m not the most consistent of feedback leavers but please know that I’m definitely keeping an eye on, and enjoying, this story. Thanks so much for continuing and I’m looking forward to the next part.. Excellent job!

PS: Especially loved Willow’s letter from Bubbeh. Really nice touch there.

[Ariel]

Umgaynow and Wow!

What a story, loved it from the first pillow fight between Willow and Buffy on chapter 1, page one. Love the angst and love the humor . . .

"One...two...three...this is a test...Juicy Lucy comin' at ya...do you read me, Firecrotch? Come in, Firecrotch...OVER"

"Goddamn it, Faith! It's FireFly not Firecrotch! OVER."

"Sorry, B..."

"Uh-huh...Tinkerbell...are you reading me, Tinkerbell? OVER."

"Like a trashy Tinsel Town tell-all, FruitFly...OVER!"

"FireFly! It's FireFly damn it!"

As someone who (briefly/amazingly) was a cop for the city of Oakland California, I LOVED the radio chatter - freakin' hilarious!!!

On a more sober note, liked Tara's furious monologue - had the feel of a real person talking and I loved Willow's response: face impassive, body still, and all the pain in her eyes . . .

:pride LOVE THIS!!!

Keep writing!

Ariel

[taralicious]

A new chapter at last from our favorite women in uniform and then out of them.
The angry and hurt Tara on display here bears all the realism of how misunderstandings can turn into actions and words which require a lot more effort to take back than they did to put them out there to begin with.

[Willowtree252]

I am so happy to see an update. What took place in the Bronze was heart breaking for both our girls. You could feel the pain coming off them in waves. All of the sudden I am there with them time goes into slow motion. I am worried for both of them. We don't know who is at fault please dont keep us waiting long you tease

[BuffyFan4ever]

I'm confused. The last updated ended with Bubbeh's Letter and now they're fighting??!! Hopefully it will be explained soon.

[love_2003]

Happy to see an update. Was worried when there weren't any updates for a while. I'm hoping Tara yelling at Willow is some kind of plan to get the suspect. I need my happy couple to be happy.

A Woman in Uniform Chapter 25


A couple blocks up from The Bronze, Tara was leaning against a lamp post, trying to get herself under control, but mostly she was shaking like a chihuahua hopped up on Red Bull. She'd had to do some pretty difficult things in the relatively short span of her life, enormously difficult even, but this one was a doozy. What she had just done ranked right up there with the time she'd fallen ass-first into a cactus bed and had to pull the spines out of her own back because there was no one around to help. The trouble was she really did love Willow. She loved her more than anything or anyone she had ever known, even Annie.
The things she'd said to her...such awful, hurtful things...each word that passed her lips tearing a small piece of her heart out along with it. Now she just felt empty...alone...she'd never felt so alone...not even that time when...NO...I cant think about that now...gotta stay on my toes...come on Maclay...snap out of it...pull yourself together...you're The Hunter, damn it...strong like an amazon...right? You can do this...yeah...I did it alright...I did the hell out of it...and it can't be undone...not after the things I said...

A sudden noise intruded upon Tara's inner ramblings. And now that she thought about it a vaguely familiar one at that. The closer and louder it got, the more it became clear that the sound was indeed that of a familiar set of footsteps. A rhythm she'd become attuned to over time, slowly internalized and eventually came to know by heart.

Running on pure instinct, pulse racing, she swallowed a sob and reached out blindly.

Time slowed then...heart hammering in her ears...adrenaline beginning to flow...senses heightening...she could hear herself blink. Each and every time they met it was the same and she remembered them all. Those white-hot moments when her redhead's flesh met hers. Tara moaned as she pulled her lover into her arms, both of them trembling, melting into one sobbing creature.

"I'm sorry, baby...I'm so sorry..." Willow blubbered, "I didn't mean to...I just...please Tare...please say you can forgive me...even if I don't really deserve it..." The blonde just held her closer, rubbing her back, "I'm scum...pond scum in fact...something you'd find hanging off a frog's backside...mmmmhmmmm...amphibian feces, that's me..."

"Shhhhhhhh...it's OK, Will...hush now...shhhhhhh my love...we'll work it out..." she kissed her on the forehead.

A self-satisfied smirk crept across the redhead's lips.

"I'll make it up to you, baby...I promise...please let me make it up to you...let's see...we'll go off somewhere together that's it...the country maybe...yes...that's it...we'll take a picnic...maybe go riding...how's that sound?"


"Whew...OK...target is on the move again...heading straight for you, Tink...do you have a visual? Juicy Lucy OVER"

"I sure do...mmmmmmmmmmmmm...damn that man has a fine ass..."

"Harris! Focus! Those binoculars are not intended for staring at Billy's ass...pay attention! I repeat, do you have visual contact? OVER"

"Confirmed Juicy Lucy...should I let the boss know?"

"You're supposed to say OVER, Tinkerbell!"

"Is that you, Red Leader? Sorry...I forgot...OVER"

"It doesn't matter...can you give me an ETA? OVER"

"The bogey just came out of Deep Fried Pussy...OVER"

"Oh, that is sooo wrong...come again, Tink...OVER"

"Target just exiting Pussy's territory...ought to be in your sector in about 20 or so...OVER"

"Oh...that soon? Yikes...OK...I can do this...I can do this...Thanks, Tink...give the word to the others...I've got it from here...I hope...wish me luck...Red Leader OUT"

"This is Tinkerbell...do you read Juicy Lucy? Rebel Yell? DFP? Firecrotch? We are now moving into Phase 3...I repeat Phase 3...Tinkerbell OVER and OUT!"

TBC

That's all for now folks...until next time...UMGAYNOW OVER AND OUT

[zampsa19752001]

Yay for great update-y goodness... I hope that they catch the bad guys quickly so our girls can take a long vacation somewhere far away and concentrate on eachother...

[taralicious]

Aliases and call-signs ahoy as the bad guy catchage is delaying the talk they need to have and then the extended make-up sex.

[Ariel]

umgaynow and wow!: Part II

she was shaking like a chihuahua hopped up on Red Bull.

Roll over, Dashiell Hammett – there’s a new pen in town! Hilarious take on hardboiled detective prose!

Referring to the sound of Willow’s approaching footsteps:

A rhythm she'd become attuned to over time, slowly internalized and eventually came to know by heart.

True and beautifully expressed.

Time slowed then...heart hammering in her ears...adrenaline beginning to flow...senses heightening...she could hear herself blink. Each and every time they met it was the same and she remembered them all. Those white-hot moments when her redhead's flesh met hers. Tara moaned as she pulled her lover into her arms, both of them trembling, melting into one sobbing creature.

Oh, baby! Hot tamale time!

Don’t leave us hanging, girlfriend – keep those updates a-comin’!

Ariel

[Willowtree252]

I was giggling a lot on this update. With gang the banter is so good. My gut tells me there's a storm brewing. Deep fried pussy now. Who could that be ? lol

[Grimm]

I'm still of the thinkage that this is a trick to flush the suspect out. I think she's (heather) posing as Willow so that she can get to Tara.

[love_2003]

I feel so confused as to what is going on with Willow and Tara now. Was their fight staged to bring out the suspect? Hoping this will all lead to some awesome plan that I, for right now, can't figure out. The code names make me laugh.

[taysla]

Wow, that was amazing.. I keep laughing for half a hour...

Can anyone explain for me what is bloody happening?

Why am I feel so confused on what is going on in the story now?

The code names still keeping me calm about the mix on the story for now..

Anyway, please keep updating


Tay

[Jenga]
