Angel - drabble "What was Surprising" - PG (Wes/Lilah)  

Title: “What was Surprising”
Author: [info]dreamincolor
Fandom: Angel
Pairing: Wes/Lilah
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: Joss wins.
Words: 100
Written for:  [info]btvs_ats_100

Prompt: Addiction

 


 
There was something about Lilah - when she smiled that vain, feline smile - that made Wesley’s blood boil and brought out the worst in him. It was that same something that attracted him powerfully, passionately to her.

She was a better escape than sleep, work, or whiskey, so nothing he did surprised him. His attachment to her, his addiction to her, was not surprising.

 

But what was surprising - as she pressed a hand to her bleeding stomach and looked at him with scared, pleading eyes that told him what she could not - was her addiction to him.

Thankies! :D

Oh, Bravo!

I was actually playing with the idea of doing a Wes/Lilah (since the addiction prompt really fits, here), but you've done such a great job that the itch is satisfied!

And the way it twists around at the end - is fabulous.

Thankyou hon! -squishy hug-

I was actually playing with the idea of doing a Wes/Lilah (since the addiction prompt really fits, here)

Too true. I've been trying to branch out from writing Lilah all the time, but this prompt just begged for it. That or Buffy/Spike, but you got that itch yourself!
The Anti-OTP[info]snowpuppies on March 7th, 2008 06:30 am (UTC)
Well, see, I've never actually written Lilah, or Wes for that matter, so the urge was a very strange one.

Never? Wow.

I suppose that makes sense. You seem to stick on the Buffy side of Jossverse - and Wes was there for all of 10 seconds as the stuffy, bothersome British guy.

I must rewatch Buffy, it's been too long.
The Anti-OTP[info]snowpuppies on March 7th, 2008 06:42 am (UTC)
It's kinda strange. I really, really enjoyed Angel, and at points, I almost Liked it more than Buffy, but for me, the Buffy characters speak louder and clearer in my mind than the Angel ones. I might actually be because Angel himself has never really resonated with me. I dunno. Weird.

Nah I getcha, I've got the same thing going. I loved Buffy, but for some reason writing Buffy characters is always harder for me. I hope that maybe rewatching it in bits when I get the chance will help.

That was fabulous! Thank you!
I find the relationship between Lilah and Wes fascinated, and you did a great job with this drabble!

Thanks! :D

BTW: I love your icon.
Lisa[info]lzod on March 7th, 2008 08:29 pm (UTC)
this one was given to me by [info]rua1412 I think it was a Christmas prezzie, but she would remember that better than me.....& you are a House freak too? I got a few of them going.....[info]shannon730 is one also. *G*

writing 'bout big damn heroes[info]dreamincolor on March 8th, 2008 02:27 am (UTC)
I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan cause I'm never home when it's on, but the 5 or so episodes I've seen I loved. The writing is fantastic.
Lisa: House Voldie[info]lzod on March 8th, 2008 03:15 am (UTC)
Lets see.....on USA its on Friday & Saturday nights....I'm in the central time zone & its on at 10 pm. It *was* (before the stupid writers strike!) on Tuesday nights at 8 on Fox but [info]shannon730 said it suppose to be moving around to maybe Monday night. We'll see. My son thinks House is hilarious. *G*

I love your icon here.....I think wolves are adorable creatures. What do you think of this Icon? I know [Unknown LJ tag] made it for me just cause I had none. *G*
writing 'bout big damn heroes: Giles - sombrero[info]dreamincolor on March 8th, 2008 03:31 am (UTC)
Aw thankyou, wolves are my favorite animal. I'm hoping to go into conservation, especially conservation of wolves, cause I love them so dang much.

Aah! Between his expression and quote that icon is priceless. Maybe if I watch more House, I'll try to pull together some icons.

But in the mean time, Sombrero!Giles - just because.
Lisa[info]lzod on March 8th, 2008 03:42 am (UTC)
*giggle* Oh thats good.....I got a bunch of wallpaper & pic's & Icon for my birthday, I just have to get them on my account.....I just need to remember it. *G*

Ok....just for you I went and looked at my cheat sheet *G*:

House

UK Wolf Conservation

The second one I got from a person who post's at [info]customers_suck. *G* There are some wild post's over there.
writing 'bout big damn heroes[info]dreamincolor on March 8th, 2008 06:33 am (UTC)
Ooo..that second link is really nice. What an awesome site. Thanks!

Hehe..I went to check out that community. There is some pretty funky stuff over there.
Lisa[info]lzod on March 8th, 2008 04:08 pm (UTC)
You know countess right? Anywho, she had a day that needed to be posted there.

Some of those just blow my mind. I haven't worked in retail in over 12 years but I have *never* acted like that! If I'm with someone who acts like that I'll tell them they are acting like an entitled bitch & to shut up. Some of those.....they make me weep for mankind.

& I just remembered this. I live in southern Minnesota & one day when I was up at my parents, across the road (we do not live in the city but on the outskirts, there is still alot of land around with woods) in the guys field there was something walking around. We couldn't see it clearly enough so my mom went & got her binoculars. Come to find out, it was an older wolf. :O! Wild experience.

We have deer, pheasants, turkeys, bunnys, squirrels & all those little woodland creatures running around our back yards. But that was the first time we actually *saw* a wolf. You could see the paw prints in the mud or snow, but we never saw it. :)
writing 'bout big damn heroes: Illyria[info]dreamincolor on March 8th, 2008 04:29 pm (UTC)
Ooo..what a nifty thing, to see a wolf walking around outside your house! I want to say I wish that happened here - but since I'm in the middle of the city, I'd feel terrible for the poor wolf that meandered his way in here!
Lisa[info]lzod on March 8th, 2008 04:43 pm (UTC)
eh gads! I know....if that happened here the people would be all up in arms about it.

They never take in to account that *they* are the one's encroaching on the animals territory.

We have one development that they started, just one level duplex's that the people are bitching that the geese are crapping all over their patio's! The city *HAS* to do something about this!

I heard that & was like "MORONS! That was the geese territory *LONG* before you moved your self entitled arse's there!" I hate idiots......

I agree that Lilah having feelings for Wes wqs something neither of them expected.

Mhm. Thanks for commenting!
[info]tylerluscious on March 7th, 2008 11:30 pm (UTC)
Oooh. Normally I like to slash Lilah, but this reminds me of why I loved Wes/Lilah and why I began to hate Fred. Heh. What can I say? I like the twisted ships.

Very good Wes voice.
writing 'bout big damn heroes: Lilah/Wes - Lovers[info]dreamincolor on March 8th, 2008 02:30 am (UTC)
Thankyou. :D

Yeah, they were one of the more twisted ships..but damn it was a good twisted!
