Author’s Notes: I really, really, really liked the Willow/Oz ship that we saw on screen – and his brief reappearance in season 4 – and they’re two of my favorite characters, so I jumped at the chance to write them. I set it in Brazil not to add Kennedy as a main focus of the piece, but because I thought Willow would like it there and be able to learn a lot. It has so much culture and quite a bit to experience that I really think she could thrive there. As for Kennedy – I wasn’t fond of their onscreen relationship, but I can’t say (as much as I’d like to) that Willow would automatically take Oz back or dump Kennedy, so I wanted it to be a Willow/Oz piece that left that aspect as open-ended as I could make it.
