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.)

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!

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 06:51 pm (UTC)Don't apologise, it was one hell of fic. Well worth the price. :)
Now, repeat after me.
"Yes, Angel."
and
"Pretty boy."...
