After The End Of The End

After Ace was killed, Tara and the gang rushed Willow to the hospital. The hospital had asked lots of questions, but after they had come up with excuses, the hospital had pushed the cause away to help Willow. 

"You people are keeping this place in business anyway." One had said. Willow had lost a lot of blood, again, and her body was worn out, so they had stayed in the hospital for almost two months, but she recovered her strength after a while, with much tending to from Tara and the gang. Buffy had gotten a concussion, so the gang had forced her to let them take over patrol. So she mostly kept Willow company in the hospital, much to the redheads delight. She had really missed her best friend, ditto Buffy, but Buffy was better at hiding her excitement at the best friend time. Xander provided them with donuts, and Buffy insisted Dawn do her homework before bugging Willow, but Willow was glad to help her with it. Tara didn't leave Willows side unless physically dragged away, and when Buffy suggested they give the two some alone time, Xander was proud to find Dawn had taken on Anyas lack of tact for the situation, much to the slayers annoyance. Giles often came, but he had also gotten a job as, regretfully, a librarian again. The scoobies made sure to not let him forget his boring career, but even if he seemed annoyed, he was just glad that his only friends, even if they were a bunch of American youngsters, still showed an interest in his life instead of leaving him.. Even if they teased him. For Willow and Tara.. They were just glad to be back together, and constantly promised the other that they would always protect them and never leave them. Willow was still quite weak in the mind after her ordeals, but even if Willow was closed off and not very good at voicing thoughts or such, Tara always knew what she wanted and needed. And even if she was distant from the group and jumpy, Willow knew they would always be there for her. Through abusive relationships, hell dimensions, angry exes of exes, and whatever life had to throw at them. No matter what, they would stick together. The world could be very harsh.. But as long as you have people to protect and love you, everything will turn out okay in the end. 

((So I tried to make this story shorter than After The End because I realized in that one that it was like two completely different stories and plotlines mashed into one? If you want ANOTHER continuation of this universe please tell me - if I do make one, I promise no more demons - at least not other than mental ones. I will try to make it more upbeat and happy, but with all that has happened, angst is obviously going to be there as well. But no more demons or such to torment poor Willow! Somehow all my plots get dark and angsty - this one wasn't supposed to be as horrible as it was, honestly. But if you want another one, I promise only inner demons, other than the normal vampires and such - it wouldn't be Buffy without them - but poor Will and Tara will finally get a break and happiness. It'll give me a chance to work on more happy plots, because god knows mine are dark. I'm very indecisive over if I should continue this universe or not. I've started working on another story where Tara is a vampire hehe, but I'm trying not to make that one TOO dark either. Not sure if I should post it? Idk, I need to make up my mind on things lol.))
