Lightening On The Wind

Title: Lightening On The Wind
Series: Leaping In The Dark
Characters: Willow
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: Willow stopped a moment and thought about that. She hadn't wanted anything specific in a very long time. Oh yes, she put on a good show, displaying what was expected of her – clothes, jewelry, boy toys – but there'd been nothing she'd wanted for herself. Until that night. For a moment, as she looked over at Naomi to answer her, Willow wondered what drove Naomi to work the impossible hours her job demanded. Willow drove herself, and those who worked closely with her, to exhaustion. It was the only way she could sleep at night.
Disclaimer: They are not mine.  Not yet.  But they will be mine, once I've taken over the world.  Bwah-ha-ha.
Notes: While you don't have to read the entire series, to understand how Willow got to where she is in this story, you should read How My Love's Song Gently Cries.  However, it's very dark and full of squicks so summary: Spike kidnaps Willow.  Treats her badly.  She's very wounded.  (I'm a better writer than a summarizer.  Honest).
