OH 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?

I think Wesley's character development over the course of Buffy and Angel is one of the best--if not the very best, imo--of any character on any show I've ever seen.

Spike is probably at #2 for me.

I agree 100%. Cordelia may be a close second for me, and for many of the same reasons. Both of these characters start out basically as caricatures, and take really complex journeys. And both basically end up as different people than they started out as, which is a natural progression in human development. Wesley is far more realistic though, and Cordy maybe didn't get as dark (but that's arguable).
