rmOH MY GOD, WE JUST STARTED ANGEL S4!
Wesley and Lilah. Holy crap Wesley and Lilah and then Justine was kneeling and gagged in his closet?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?
And I guess, amongst the many things (and there are many) I'm startled by here, I must say the following:
- ya sort of get the impression that Wes is a really good lay.
- ya also sort of get the impression that Wes really, really likes sex and it often makes him damn stupid.
- man, what is it with Joss Whedon shows and the oral sex? (Not that I've a problem with that, but I'm amused by it as it's a notable tic in the way both Buffy and Angel construct sex scenes).
So where are the fic recs that treat Wesley like the batshit crazy, ruthless, fantastic fuck he apparently is and not the poor little insecure woobie Angel has to keep reassuring about whether or not he's attractive most of fandom seems to think he is?
Hot fucking damn.
To recap: Wesley. Lilah. Justine. Closet. Gag. Extended speechifying about the nature of slavery. OH MY GOD ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Date: 2010-06-13 03:55 am (UTC)Wesley is HARDCORE, isn't he?
I &hearts Wesley/Lilah. I mean, I loved Wes/Gunn like nobody's business, but then there was the throat slitting, and the not giving a damn, and... but there's something fabulous about Wesley/Lilah, there really is.
And, yes, he keeps Justine in his closet, and threatens to take her bucket away. Because he is HARDCORE. Batman level hardcore.

Date: 2010-06-13 04:18 am (UTC)though I will say, this is the season that finally cured me of Angel as a show, the way season 7 did for Buffy. There were too many moments (and this right here is a big one for me) where I was like, this is so far out of the original character arc, that I now consider them a plot tool, because someone is 'playing barbies' with them ("Hey, what if we make them do this?"), rather than writing a consistent character...

Oh, yeah.

Date: 2010-06-13 04:44 am (UTC)Oh, agreed. Want something really weird? Watch Wesley's first appearance as the not-Giles fail!Watcher, then watch season four of Angel. It's like a whole different person, and yet, I really never felt like his character was derailed at all. It's a natural progress.
Which is pretty sad for Wes, given the places he goes as a character. But lovely for us viewers!

Date: 2010-06-13 04:40 am (UTC)Hm, fic recs, fic recs. I'm sure I can wrassle up a couple. Wes almost never comes off as Woobie-esque in Wes/Lilah fics, that's for sure. You looking for something sexy, or more PG?

Date: 2010-06-13 04:50 am (UTC)re: the oral sex thing - i think it's... an easy visual to imply, more than many other things, without actually *showing* it in any detail, with strategic placements here and there, you know?

Date: 2010-06-13 05:05 am (UTC)Now I need to go back and re-watch. Dark!Wesley is so much sexier than Fail!Wesley (much like Dark!Willow v. Innocent!Willow).

Date: 2010-06-14 12:09 pm (UTC)(S4 is like a novel btw - apart from the odd, almost-stand-alone, it's all arc. I'm curious to see how you like it, because it tends to divide people.)
