Title: Birds in Cages.
Fandom: elements of both ‘Angel’ and ‘Buffy: the Vampire Slayer’, Spike/Angel. Lynnevitational ficathon entry for
stakebait.
Rating: R, for swearing, violence, and sexual content.
Description: It was always about power. It was never about love. (It was always about lying to yourself.)
(
It was never about love, not about love in the slightest; love was something left behind with oxygen, with the taste of nervous sweat on your lip when you saw a certain silhouette in the parlor door... )

He’s gone to be a monster now, and that comforts him. That always comforts him.
Oh, yeah. That's my boy.
Let him put a soul inside his empty spaces. It won’t change a damn thing, because his emptiness will always win, will drink away the good as it drinks the evil, and he’ll come back to what he is: an ending.
Ow. And, yeah again. Even Inner Buffy agrees.
Spike dreams of angels, and of wings, skeletal and bleeding out against the sky.
If I think that's beautiful, have I been channeling Spike too long?
And I love that Buffy is War. I should have thought of it, given the conceit, but it still managed to come as a surprise.
