Day 27: Lilah/Wes, Lilah/Wes, Lilah/Wes!

*snickers* Okay, so I have a bit of a love for my favorite pairing. Sue me. They're pretty, they're smart, they have the sexy sex, and they're really pretty.

In honor of the Lilah/Wes month-ender, yours truly has a new layout (with love to katemonkey for the graphics and relentless web standards pimping) at Double Indemnity. Which is all shiny

No, it stopped making sense to me, too, and for one big reason. The Wesley I understand, even a Wesley who fell for Fred (though I admit, a Wes who fell for Fred after "it's not always about holding hands" is really hard for me to buy), who knew that someone he cared about was rotting in Hell would have tried to find a way out for her. Not for some grand happily ever after, but because letting her rest in peace would be the right thing to do.

And seeing as Wes broke up with Lilah, not because he didn't like/love/care for her, but because it was "the right thing to do," having there not even be a scene where Angel sees Wesley looking over a book that says, "contract law" reminds me why S5 happened in the crackverse for me.

I can understand Lilah not getting in touch with Wes, because it was entirely possible she was unable to, being chained up to a wall in Hell or something? (though I agree that without the supertext, that barely plays -- she would have found a way) But the Wes stuff really stops playing in my head, because I'm like, "okay, wait. He saw her undead, knew she was going back to...and didn't even try to...oh, screw you, Joss Whedon!"

Really, it does not play. She convinced Angel to join W&H, knew just the card to play to bring him in, and she gets rewarded by being sent back to punishment? She didn't cut herself some kind of deal? That makes no sense.
