Buffy: A Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes by Kyra Cullinan
A Girl with Kaleidoscope Eyes (Willow/Tara | PG13 | 1,511 words) is not about Tara. Rather, it's about (not) coping and deftly breaks Willow.
Excerpt:
Tara likes to sit very still and let the shadows drip through her fingers and she won't answer when Willow tries to talk to her. She looks instead at the wallpaper and the floor and the darkening sky through the window. Sometimes she looks sad, but sometimes she bites her lips to hide her smiles.
If Willow tries to touch her she vanishes silently, leaving behind no flash of light or rush of disturbed air, only a sudden coldness which pools darkly in Willow's stomach.
