buffyversetop5I've already focused on some of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kwritten's Buffy/Tara fics in my last rec post; here's more by various authors focusing on Tara herself rather than as half of a ship:
The Real You bybrutti_ma_buoni (Tara, Dawn, mentions of Buffy and ensemble, S5-S6?); for eilowyn: Tara spends some time, that summer, trying to work out when Dawn became. Too few fics explore Tara's relationship with Dawn but also Tara's skill as a witch in her own right. This fills a need; satisfying and poignant.
Filling Holes byfoxstarreh (Tara, implied W/T, canon-compliant S6, post-Once More With Feeling) There's this hole in her head.
Her Own also byfoxstarreh (Tara, implied W/T, canon-compliant S6, between Tabula Rasa and Smashed.) Tara moves out of Revello and back to campus. Some of Tara's things are Willow's and she leaves those behind. Both of Fox's drabbles are incredibly haunting.
The Things You Find in Vending Machines by the ininimitablevelvetwhip (Tara, Buffy, canon-compliant S4, post-New Moon Rising). This was written as a gift to me in return for the banner I'd made for her amazing fic "Soft and Pink and Very Sad" ; a deleted scene that reminds me how hungry I am for more Buffy and Tara friendship scenes. Oh great. Not only is Buffy officially a dork, but Tara looks like a deer caught in the headlights, so now Buffy feels guilty… and still wigged out.
Eagles on the Wind bykerkevik_2014 (Tara/ Faith, post-series) Another gift for me; sly, sensual, confident Tara taking the lead with a Slayer whose cocky attitude doesn't mask her nerves or her fear of intimacy? YES, PLEASE.
"Aren't we gonna screw?" / Tara tutted at Faith; slowly undoing the buttons on her new wife's dress.

BRW - your icon looks like a detail from an early Renaissance painting although I suspect it's actually from a period movie or tv show. GORGEOUS. tis a lust-worthy thing.

Snaggage will happen (with proper credit of course) while I scoop my jaw of the floor. I did not recognize that at all, so kudos to the wonderful artist!
