Title: Ghost in the Room
Author: Redrikki
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 100
Prompt: 031, BtVS: Tara
Pairing: Tara/Willow, Kennedy/Willow



She touched the spot where Tara had lain. Xander had long replaced the carpet so all traces of blood were gone. She ran her finger down the repaired glass and sat down in the bed they’d made love in. This had been their room, Willow’s and Tara’s. They had lived, loved and died here. Buffy slept here now with five other girls, but it was still Tara’s room. Kennedy backed out and closed the door. If everything went as planned, she’d be kissing Tara’s girlfriend by tonight. Someday they’d have sex too, but never in that room. Not Tara’s room.

Poor Kennedy. She always will feel that she's competing with a ghost.

Very nice. I wrote something with a similar kind of message only from a different point of view a while ago- in short I concur.

I'm not a Kennedy fan, but I definitely liked your take on her feelings here.

You have a unique ability to actually make people *feel* for Kennedy; well done.

Agreed, but a lot of people don't bother trying to get past that!

Glad to see more stories without the Kennedy-hate. I mean if nothing else, the girl has taste folks. And really isn't someone pushy enough to make a move on the grieving widow exactly what Willow needs? I love Oz and Tara, but the both would have been standing back respecting Willow's grief and letting her go on being unhappy. So I say yay for the pushiness of Kennedy.

Nice touch - Kennedy being both sensitive and brash at the same time. Those last sentences really do so much!

Really great piece. I have to pretty much agree with everyone else. I really like that there was no Kennedy-hate here, just respect for Tara. And of course, given the prompt, that Tara was the focus, even with another character.

Awwwww it must be hard living with a memory of someone that was torn away, a what if tara had been alive Kennedy may not have had a look in.

It is sad in that way brilliantly done

Nicely written. And yes, it's good to see some appreciation of Kennedy, sometimes the very obvious Kennedy-bashing sets my teeth on edge on otherwise well written material.
