Is the tree a Willow tree? It should say that... that would make it cool.

That seems realistic enough. Yeah, this was a good Tara pastfic, if not aggravatingly short.

Again, simply amazing! Very in character. I love how you explain things that happen in canon with fics set in the past!

GOSH DARNIT! (I don't curse) STOP MAKING ME CRY!

*sniffle* Aww, poor little Tara. It's a mark of how good an author you are that you can make me feel this much like killing a fictional father for what he did to his fictional daughter. Kudos for that.

;-; Wowowowowowow... ._. Tara! Dun write such good stories! *digs for hanky*

Wow ... very sad and sweet ... and completely Tara.

This worked...this definitely worked...it's short and sweet and ever so angsty! Good job ^_^

Sweet and Angsty. Great story, you have a nack for writing little Tara fics.

I love it, it makes you just want to hug tara and never let go.

that was the saddest most beautiful Tara fic so far. keep it up,

I loved this! You so have Tara's voice down pat. More?

As soon as you said cyber cookies to whoever figured out the canon reference, I knew I had to figure it out. I'm an attention-hog =) But I thought I'd missed it until I read the last sentence. "I'm Under Your Spell" from Once More With Feeling, Tara sings about being "bathed in light" and having it feel strange to her. Nice job with working that in! Cyber cookies! =)

Did we ever get a real reason for Tara's not talking and stuttering? Was it because of the way her family treated her? I can't remember exactly. This does help clear some of that up if that is the case. I remember her family not being very nice from the one episode.

You always do such an amazing job writing these past fics. Absolutely heart-wrenching.
