This was a good AU and i enjoyed it greatly.  I wish it was more.

I loved it. Both endings were great! You are so talented and the story was very believable.

Hi Fatal Mars.  Just wanted to let your know I've posted the first chapter of my newest True Blood fanfic, Save Me.  It is a Jason/Tara pairing that takes place between Season 3 episode 9 and 10 and will explore their relationship over the years through a series of flashbacks. If you get chance, please read and review.  I would love to get your feedback.

Actually, I enjoyed both versions and I have to admit that Bill is not my favorite person on the show but you made me like Bill, scratch that, you made me love Bill.  This was a different pairing and you pulled it off nicely.

Hi Vie.  If you get chance, please read and review my newest TB fanfic, Save Me. It is a Jason/Tara pairing that takes place between Season 3 episode 9 and 10 and will explore their relationship over the years through a series of flashbacks. If you get chance, please read and review.  I would love to get your feedback.

First, I would like to say you're a fantastic writer...very detailed imagery you employ in your writing...

I really only planned to read the first alternate ending of this tale...but curiosity got the better of me...and I read both...if I wasn't a fan of True Blood...I would say that the second ending was all kinds of hot...it was if I was truthful...yet I couldn't help but be skeeved out as I read...because Season 3 has really made me dislike the Bill character immensely...and not because of Sookie (I swear that character is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me now)...but because of what Bill did to Tara in Russell's mansion when she pleaded for his help but he refused her and left her to her own devices as Franklin mentally and physically abused, tortured, and RAPED her...that I can never forgive...probably the same reason I'll never see Eric in a 'romantic' light after what he, Pam, and Chow did to Lafayette when they chained him up like an animal in the dungeon at Fangtasia for selling V and fed from him...HYPOCRITES...in my mind, what Bill did Tara is the same or maybe even worse than Franklin did...at least Franklin was certifiably insane and fancied himself 'in love' with her...and Franklin was such an entertaining loon...at least for me...not so much for Tara...I absolutely hate the victimization of Tara...enough already, geesh...

But interesting take on the Bill/Tara dynamic...I'll grant you that much...I just never want to read about Bill's skeevy paws/fangs on her again...

Brilliant work!

I loved both versions. Both expertly done!! Will there be more?

Read it. Loved It. Want some more of it.

Update soon :)

Although I am a die-hard TAMshipper, I must say I enjoyed this pairing and often thought what it would be like to see these two rolling in the hay.

Now that Tara has a less negative perspective on Bill, I wonder if this means that she is more perceptive of supes in general and will this mean that she will accept Sam as a shifter. Great story! This is more than a treat!! Happy Thanksgiving!

I usually don't read the fanfic type stuff. But you have me wanting to see where this goes.

Wow!!!  YOu stopped right before the hot, butt naked sewx!!!!

Author's Response: LOL.  Sorry.  You'll just have to wait until Part 3 for the butt naked sewx.

This is a good start.  Bill mentioning that Tara is important to him as well (probably because of Sookie).  I can't wait to see how you find a way to put these two together.  I think it will be hard to win over Tara because of the abuse she suffered at Franklin's hands and Bill didn't do anything to help her.  However, it would be nice if he got a chance to explain himself to both Sookie and Tara.  I just hope that if he and Tara become closer they tell Sookie about it and not keep it from her (and that Bill isn't just using Tara, although I doubt he would).  Right now Bill on the TV show is getting a raw deal, so hopefully he will be redeemed in your story. Please update soon.

You know, this is what I want to hear from Bill next season, with regards to Tara. Because I'm not feeling him these days. The dialogue was really on point here. Tara would not have taken a dime from him and she is always fiercely protective of Sookie. I cannot imagine how Bill and Tara will come together but I cannot wait to read more and find out.

wow i am liking this so far i never liked sookie character and hell i love me some tara so this story definite got my intrest whoo tara and bill hmmm this is going to be fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
