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?

Have to comment because I was talking about this very arc recently. Wesley is one of those characters that Joss does so well, in my opinion. The kind that you never saw coming, but the psychology is sound. Wesley has had some shitty things happen to him since we've met him, that plus allusions to some sketchy adolescent experiences makes for a realistically fucked up character. And I just love love Love *how* dark he gets. It's like someone's popped his cork and he's just bubbling over (insert innuendo if desired) with badness. AND he seems to revel in it, which makes so deliciously twisted. It's as if he recognizes that he is SO discontent, and decides see how just far he can take it. And yeah, W/L is fucked in the head, but works for me on every level.

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).
