A couple of weeks ago within another query of mine, the topic of Willow abusing her magic and is punished came up: - In one case, warrior gods/goddesses bind her powers due to her conceit [Origins series by Niamh] - In another case, a demon goddess (who's a friend of Anya's) curses her because of her audacity to use a minor dog for a sacrifice. So whenever Willow uses magic, she ages. (She becomes quite old.) [Spike's Will Be Done series by TalesofSpike]
This all reminded me of another punishment for Willow. A high power regresses Willow to be a baby and sent off to be raised elsewhere. At the very end of the fiction/series, 18 years later, a college bound Willow arrives at a train/bus station where she encounters a couple picking up their teen daughters. They know Willow and greet her and offer her a ride to campus. Of course it's Buffy and Spike (still young looking) carpooling their daughters home (think their twins but dress differently like parents). Willow wary of them cause she doesn't know them.
Help! This has been bugging me for 2 weeks now, running through so many series on the web and that I've saved. Put me to rest please. |
