I Have a Theory...oh, wait, no I don't

[crazydiamondsue]

I need help. I'm working on the last two parts of Sunday Morning, and it's like trying to lose that last 10 pounds...it's hard and makes me want to say screw it and have a sundae (heh, get it? Sundae? I'm so lame - why do you people read this drivel?)

I'm working on the scene where Tara & Xander discuss why Tara went along with Willow's resurrection plan. Was she still in the "Yay, Willow! She's a brainy type," mode or did she really believe Willow had covered all the angles and considered every possible consequence? Or was it just convenient story telling? (If you're thinking, "Jeez, Sue, write your own story and stop sponging off your flist", feel free to read spikedluv's "Stay" or spikendru's "Run for Your Life" and ignore me and my pitiful mumblings.) Feel free to express yourself candidly, there are no stupid answers, only stupid people. (And that's me quoting "South Park," so please don't slap a kerfuffle jihad on me. That handwriting analysis thing said I was diplomatic, and we know it didn't lie!!!)

Any help is appreciated. And there could be drabbles written for you as thanks (although you'll have to provide the plot 'cause I'm obviously the least creative person in this 'verse.)

Do you suppose Willow could have used a little whammy on Tara to persuade her?

I've never heard that theory floated before, but now that you say it, that sounds extremely plausible. And leading towards all sorts of deliciously disturbing possible storylines...

If you don't want to go that route, however, I would agree with the person above who said that Tara simply couldn't stand up to Willow. She really does do whatever Willow says until OMWF. I suspect that she was deeply troubled by the spell but didn't know how to tell Willow no.

It's an interesting question!

I agree, I think she found the entire idea terribly wrong, but Willow's determination and her repeated assurance that Buffy's death was "mystical" probably won her over. Thanks!
