Disclaimer: I claim no ownership over these characters. I am merely borrowing them from Joss et al.
Distribution: joss10k, my LJ/site, Walking a Thorny Path, the usual lists, anyone with previous permission. Anyone else - just ask.
Feedback: Yes please! It makes me happy and keeps me writing.
Thanks to my betas: strangecreature, kallie_kat & emeraldswan for all of your help.

Author's Note: While this takes place during season 5 of Buffy, I'm leaving out some things to suit my purposes. 1) No Dawn & Joyce isn't sick, so Buffy is still living in the dorms with Willow as her roommate. 2) Tara is just a friend.

Author's Note 2: Yes, you read that subject line correctly, this is the final chapter in this story. It turned out that I was able to wrap everything up faster than I thought, even though it probably took longer than you hoped that it would. Thank you so much for sticking with this story! {{hugs}} If you need a refresher, or read for the first time, you can do so HERE.

( Chapter Nine )

I missed my writing anniversary. Again.

I was just doing some updates on my website, trying to make it a little easier to read (adding indents so that the stories don't go to the edges of the page anymore). I was working on my Giles stories today, as most of you know that Willow/Giles was the first pairing that I wrote in fanfiction.

I've had it in my head for years that I started writing after Thanksgiving in 2002, but once again was reminded that my first story was written in September 2002. I had a vague feeling that I've forgotten this fact before and lo and behold, December 31, 2005 I had this same realization. And that was only my three year anniversary.

This year I missed my five year writing anniversary. How does one forget that? Probably because I don't remember when I submitted my first story to Willow's Little Secret, since it was emailed directly to Jen and not to the group.
