Fic: I Dream of Spring

Title: I Dream of Spring
Fandom: BtVS
Prompt: song titles -> k.d. lang's "I Dream of Spring"
Summary: Tara's thoughts after she left Willow

Tara kept the dried flowers. They were delicate, fragile. So tiny and yet they had destroyed her world, but of course the flowers weren't to blame. Willow's grubby fingers had rummaged through Tara's mind, stealing away her soul. Willow had promised to give up magics, but hadn't. Willow who still didn't understand that what she'd done was wrong. Willow who cried and said she'd change. Was the Willow who'd hurt her the real Willow? Tara hoped not. As the dust of crushed flowers drifted from her hand, Tara cried. Her world was dark and cold, but Tara dreamed of spring.

Thank you. I was listening to the song which talks of frozen lovers and beds being cold and ends with "In cold dark places, I dream of spring." and this is what came out.

Thank you. It's been a while since I've written a drabble.

That was sad...
I loved imagery of the flowers being crushed.

Thank you. That image came in during one of the later edits. Yay editing!
