[jennyo]

Sorry. Was caught up in fandom wankery.

Today/tomorrow's assignment: list your five favorite Lilah characterizations in fic. Pick five stories, tell us why you love them, adore them, think they speak to the Lilah-ness of it all.

inyron is not alone in her sappy love for Five Ways to Have a Happy Ending, And Not One of Them True. It would have been on my list, but she really said everything I need to say about it, and so I don't need to cut one of these to get to 5. Yay!

1. This Is The End Of A Story Which No One Remembers Because It Never Happened by backfromspace. Pragmatic Lilah is in Hell, knows she deserves it and is dealing very well until Wes shows up and breaks her heart.

2. Nobody's Girl Friday by hold_that_thought. Love her snarky manner when having to deal with working for Angel, love her dreaming of writing "Kill" during a boring meeting. I'm a sucker for Angel and Lilah office stories and this is the best of them.

3. Careful Plans by Inyron. Shmoopy, heartbreaking and Princess Bride-quoting and that devious smile of Lilah's at the end makes the story complete. Love it.

4. Future Imperfect by Jennyo. Lilah's still hung up on Wes, but learns to love again with Spike. Her reactions to him being all romantic and Spike-stalkery make me smile. She's just really sweet here and that's a different look for her, but one I loved.

5. Aperture by Jennyo. My favorite Lilah and Wes story ever, and great for just Lilah if you choose to ignore the boy. I love Survivor Lilah hitting the road to stay alive, drinking with cowboys and singing Patsy and eating soup to stay warm. Loved her sending the pictures long after the time she should have moved on, loved her holding it together while waiting for her guy to come. *sniff*
