Why this must be read:
A dark, quick, little punch of a story where season 3, despondently suicidal Wesley runs into Lindsey while both are out drinking away their sins. The author nicely captures characters on two separate, but equally devastating, paths of self-loathing and spiraling despair. They attack each other in passionate acrimony that turns into straight passion. I like Wesley's inner dialogue. His thoughts are by turns bitterly revealing and just plain weary. I also particularly like the last thought by Wesley- it is a a final, strong ouch.
“Was it good for you too?” the sarcasm was so thick it was tangible in the grimy little room – holes in the sheets and deep yellow stains on the ceiling. Every hissed word sliced clanged through Wesley’s head and rattled behind his aching eyes. He felt disgusting.
“I wouldn’t know – I recall falling unconscious. Did you molest me when I was asleep?” words barbed as he clutched his head and prayed the world would stop spinning and knowing it wouldn’t.
Lindsey ignored the question, took a deep drag of his cigarette, “did Angel put you up to following me?” the words were followed my a dull click and slide of metal against metal. Wesley looked up into the barrel of a gun. “How long have you been following me? How did you know I go to that bar?” rapid succession of questions fired instead of bullets, but Lindsey still looks surprised that Wesley hadn’t so much as flinched.

I'msperrywink and I'm excited to be rec-ing Angel this month. I'm fairly focused in this fandom, so expect a month of Wesley recs with the occasional Spike one thrown in.
