lonelybritHere I am, determined to wallow and be unconsolable... and then all those wretched people on LJ have to go and write beautiful posts that actually start making me feel better. Damn you! ;)
Two/three general reading recs, in the unlikely event you haven't already read them. (Spoilers, obviously.)

janedavitt: 'Exit, Stage Left.' A post Angel 5.22 fic Short, bittersweet, but leaves you with the last thing to come out of Pandora's box.
2)justhuman: *Another* brief post Angel 5.22 fic. When I first read it, it made me tear up, but in a good way. When I read it again, I remembered janedavitt's fic. And in my mind, these two fics run parallel to each other. Meaning that the sun really does rise on a very, very hopeful new day...
3)butterfly: Analysis of 5.22. It's worth just browsing round her LJ anyway, as there are several posts on the ep, all of them well worth reading. This one made me tear up, and also made me smile. Made me think that actually it really could have been worse.
ETA: Also thought I'd remind people about the virtual AtS Season 6 series that are being written after the summer break.

ats_nolimits. Includes people like thebratqueen, wolfling, mpoetess... Need I say more?
ii) 'Angel Renewed' - from the writers who did Angel ReVamped. Basically, over on ASSB, when it looked like we might not get a season 5, a group of writers got together and wrote their own version, picking up where Home ended. It went so well, they went on to also do a Season 6. Both seasons were *very* fun, and there was a killer final arc for season six. This year, they've decided to do the same thing, another Season 6, this time picking off after 'Not Fade Away'. They've just released their first Angel Renewed Ad. (I think you'll need Flash to view this. Spoilers for 5.22.)

It's amazing what a few well chosen words can do...

Date: 2004-05-21 05:58 pm (UTC)And yes. Angel went and hugged Connor, they were happy.
Angel then returned to the hospital to check up on Gunn. Discovered Wes was in fact *alive*. Burst into tears and kissed the slightly dazed man silly.
**nods**
Imagination is a grand thing!

Date: 2004-05-21 06:13 pm (UTC)Connor and Spike arm wresteld to be Angel's best man at the wedding to Wes.
Gunn taught Illyria to sound word.

Date: 2004-05-21 06:25 pm (UTC)'He's lost the mission, bro.'
Sure she'd have no problem mastering the perfect tone of utter disdain that must be used when using the word; 'dog.'
I can also imagine Angel and Wes just grinning like fools. It's a nice picture...

Date: 2004-05-21 06:31 pm (UTC)Heh. I have a feeling that both of them would have 'The Look' a la Protocol by brunch the following day...

Date: 2004-05-21 06:35 pm (UTC)And now I know how you all felt at the end of Things Past. I'm so sorry again.
*starts to sob again*
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 06:51 pm (UTC)Don't apologise, it was one hell of fic. Well worth the price. :)
Now, repeat after me.
"Yes, Angel."
and
"Pretty boy."...

Date: 2004-05-21 05:10 pm (UTC)It's too soon. I need time to grieve.

Date: 2004-05-21 05:17 pm (UTC)2) Do what the rest of us are doing. Go into denial and look at the many ways it didn't happen. Or, READ THIS FIC, then go and kiss
3) Remember
**cuddles you**

Date: 2004-05-21 05:30 pm (UTC)Maybe I should just go to bed - I am totally incoherent with grief.
*Clings to you tightly and wails*

Date: 2004-05-21 05:41 pm (UTC)Seriously. Wesley Wyndam-Pryce is sex on a stick. Just want to lick him. Till he melts.
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 05:56 pm (UTC)Heh. Get in line... ;)
LOL! You made me think of the 'WHATEVER!' AtS vid. Loved that little piece of genius.
'How many licks it takes to get to the centre of Jason's tootsie pop...'
BWHAH! :)

Love my spanked dead gay hero.

no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 06:25 pm (UTC)It's the way Wes is standing, I think - with his hands folded just so... penitently. Like he's sayng I've been bad and must be punished. Both shots are from Lineage (surprise) - but from different scenes. The Angel leaning on his chair is from the scene where he's yelling at Wes. The penitent Wes is from a scene with dearest Dad. Put them together and you get
'Over my desk, Wesley. Now'
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 06:29 pm (UTC)So that's how you did it. Very impressive.
Yep, poor Wes looks utterly penitent, and a little tense. You can just tell he needs to loosen up just a little...
Ooh, and btw. If you ever do get weepy again, I can tell you that popping to the archives of Protocol and rereading the erm, *cough*, 'choicest' scenes does have a wonderful way of lifting one's spirits :)
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 06:39 pm (UTC)"I *order* you to feel pleasure, Wesley"
"Yes, my... Angel"
Oh, that's the stuff!
You do realize that Angel has told us he has no problem spanking men. Mind goes to lovely fic denial bubble where Illyria tells Angel about Wes' perfect day...
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 06:49 pm (UTC)Oh my. That scene... GUH! There were teacups and showering silverware and tablecloths...
**shivers**
And, yes, definitely. Illyria has grown as a person. She cares about Wes and I'm sure before the wedding night she would mention that little comment he made to her in 'Not Fade Away'. :)
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 07:18 pm (UTC)"Over my desk, Wesley. Now."
"Yes, Angel. Erm, desk, Angel? We're in the bedroom."
"Don't be cheeky, Wes."
(penitent Wes stance) "Yes, Angel."
(folds arms over broad chest and looks sternly at Wes, tapping his foot impatiently)
"I'm waiting."
"Oh. Yes. Right. Sorry. My mind was on some mindnumbingly boring research I was doing and I was also mulling over the fact that my father is not very nice to me"
"Mm, you're pretty when you bite your lip because of your deep-rooted father issues."
(blushes an obligingly pretty shade of red and bends over bed in a smutty but somehow incredibly vulnerable manner)
*fades to black*
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 07:30 pm (UTC)So this then becomes our joint fic venture. A mad smutty spanking AU where Angel and Wes spend all day in bed.
Good God, woman, don't wave something like that about! You *know* that if
**discretely tries to come up with a plot...**
no subject
Date: 2004-05-21 07:51 pm (UTC)Go over to ABoD site and read Inyron's fic written for me - it's got lovely hints of Dad!angst and a couple of little shout-outs.
Will contemplate smutty spank joint fic plot. In bed. (that wasn't meant to sound as dirty as it does)
*kisses you goodnight*

no subject
Date: 2004-05-22 09:37 am (UTC)If you do look at Angel ReVamped, just be aware that there are links to the archives at the very top of the page. So if at first you don't see the first ep, look through the past posts and you will find them :)
