Fic - Lilah/Young Wes - Whose Love is Innocent

[eloise_bright]

Things that make me go squee today:

1. Buying Cath Kidston raincoat. I love flowers and now can be covered in them when it rains. Which happens a lot in N.Ireland.

2. Eating chocolate Kendall Mint Cake. Sucking the chocolate off it and letting the sugary mint dissolve in mouth. Rated NC17.

3. Watching Doctor Who.

They call the wind Delilah

Cute. I like your descriptions of Lilah's thoughts and observations. But it makes me wonder if his father hears of the story -- he'll receive more scars.

(BTW, "Lilah" is Hebrew as well. Means "night", too, but is also the name of an semi-important angel. "Delilah" is "the night" but in Aramaic. And now that song is stuck in my head.)

Thanks! It was originally meant to be slightly less thoughtful than this. I dearly hope Roger did not find out about his Spin the Bottle escapades.

Thanks for the name info - I originally had the name Lileth confused with Lilah - I thought she was a demon. So, she's a semi important angel. Has anyone told the brooding vampire that? *g*

("Layla"'s a he, one of the few Hebrw nouns that look feminine but are masculine.)

Lillith is definitely Angel's kith and kin, if you go back far enough. And I'll bet after the body switch with the old guy, Angel knows how close to heaven he got. (Snort, that's bad, yasi, bad.)

Awwwwwwww :) That was a lovely sweet look at both Wesley and Lilah - kind of ironic but true to form that it's the complete innocence that wound up being Lilah's achille's heel. She knows how to deal with backstabbing and verbal foreplay, but give her genuine honesty and she's stumped. *hugs* Bravo!

[eloise_bright]

Thanks! I liked the idea that she'd find his guilessness her undoing. She's so used to playing games with Wesley she can't cope with honesty. And I can pretend in my head that this really happened, and that's why she's so worried for him in Rain of Fire.

Awww, too adorable -- but with a dark edge to it.

Thank you! It was meant to be all naughty innuendo, but it turned into something else entirely. I'm moderately pleased with the direction it took - I like to imagine Lilah, Wes and Roger meeting at some point, and Lilah calling Roger on his treatment of Wes, very casually.

*is sick and obsessed by Wes Dad Angst*

dude, I shouldn't even tell you what I'm working on right now, because i probably won't finish it and you will be angry with me :)

[eloise_bright]

Please god tell me you are having them meet. All three of them in a room, and there is a dream sequence and Wes calls Roger "Papa" because the dream is in French...

No wait, that's my dream. Sorry, I'm slightly obsessed by this.

(go on, tell me, even if you don't finish it, you could email me what you've got done, yes you could, you know you want to...)

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! I saw your post on your name just after I'd posted this and I had a massive grin on my face. I do love that poem so very much. Love that it's about how good and pure she is, nothing to do with the night at all. Which young Wesley gets, and Lilah doesn't.

*hugs*

What a wonderful 180 degree curve on Spin The Bottle and you played it so perfectly; that it was Lilah and not Wes that almost got eaten alive. Maybe it will take a little while for that spell reversal to take?!

(I love Cath Kidston too!)

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! I'm quite pleased with how this turned out - you're right, I originally intended for young Wes to be eaten alive by her, but about a third of the way in, I realised what had to happen. I should just call her Lilah-Sue and be done with it, really.

Oh, I'm a happy shopper today. *pets the flowery raincoat* Pretty thing.
