Changes Update...

[tabaqui]

Hullo! I've put the next chapter of 'Changes' up on my site.
And i have...i dunno...notes?

First, there is some Spanish in this chapter...Derio speaks! Hee.
The thing is, i have no real clue if it's RIGHT. I asked a Spanish speaker to traanslate for me but he admited his Spanish was 'rusty', so... If it's totally, completely, HORRIBLY wrong, for the love of all that's...unholy, TELL ME! I hate to think anyone who can speak the language is reading it thinking 'god, what a moron!'. Or feeling insulted 'cause i mangled their native tongue. Also, Derio is from Puerto Rico, so if that makes a big difference i'd like to know.

There is also a little bit of home-made Santeria in here. It's probably not 'right' right, but i'm thinkin' the boi is a bit like my friends and i when it comes to our own practices - take what you like from all sources and make it work, and don't worry about the 'structure' imposed by others. Unless it'd get you killed.
'Eclectic' is the word. So, please don't be upset if Santeria is your relision of choice - we mean no disrespect! And would welcome input!!
Anyway - enjoy!

::aches for Tara and Xander and Buffy and Dawn and Giles who has to live with Willow and some of the worst damage she did... and for Buffy and Dawn for being left behind... cuddles Tara for staying... and Spike, all guilty for the pain of separation::

::worries over Ethan and Ethan's magic:: He doesn't perceive himself as much beyond it, does he?

Oooo. Such vivid... ::starts planning vacation to WA rainforest...::

And the beads and the power and the additional binding...

And the hunt... ::snaps and stretches and stalks::

Thank you! I sometimes wonder if my...emotions? Are believable... It still feels like i got them all into their respective relationships too fast!
But i'm so glad you like it.
Oooh, Mt. Rainier is just so amazing and beautiful and...
I wanna go, too!

Stalks?
Stalks ME?
*flail*

predatory grin. stalk...stalk...Pounce! ::pins you down and licks you all over::

[tabaqui]

Wait.

Right there.
*gibber*
*streeeeeach*

::licks lips contentedly and settles in...::

And as for the in relationships too fast thing? Pah.

Xander'd had two years of it sneaking up on him and months of figuring it out.

We have canonical evidence that once Spike experiences that paradigm shift he falls hard and fast.

Giles and Ethan are just recovering from years of denial. The combined effects of Buffy's death and Ethan's torture at the hands of the people Giles handed him over to...

And as for Oz and Derio? Oz had the wolf's instincts working for him. The awareness of potential pack would have brought down all sorts of barriers and people tend to either run like hell from that or reciprocate...

Then all four of them went through some substantial crap together... So.. Nope. Still with you all the way along.

Ooooh!!!
I think i'll copy this and put somewhere where i can read it all the time!!
Neat! You summed up all my bois so nicely and...yeah!!
*bounce*
You rock!
And, you know...the licking thing isn't too bad, either...
