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.

Ooooh, there will be more of this, I hope?

Madame, how can you possibly ask for more?

I don't think Lilah will give in to young Wesley's requests. It freaks her out far too much. LOL

Thank you for the wonderful screencaps which prompted this - and for the icon. *g*

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww lilah and her soft spots

[eloise_bright]

Thank you! Lilah really was quite thrown by how much this affected her. She doesn't like losing her edge.

I'm afraid I'm rather flailing for words. That was just too delicious. The idea of a younger Wes and quoting Shelley back and forth. ::gets shivers::
Her Wesley was a book, a story of a life lived in blood and bruises, and Lilah liked to read in Braille.
That's gorgeous writing, and I like the way she thinks that as if Wesley is hers, or at least an incarnation of him belongs to her, the version he saves only for her when they're alone. Not to mention too the fact that she knows secrets about him; or she can read his body, but possibly not his mind.
“A heart whose love is innocent,” he finished, and looked up at her from under ridiculously long lashes.
If...if... only. :)
Wonderful stuff and a terrific Lilah voice. That well and truly made my weekend :)

Thank you! I really enjoyed writing this - it was originally intended to be Lilah seducing him, but I realised early on that it would be the other way round, so to speak.

Oh, I spend a lot of time imagining what Lilah thinks of Wesley's background - I can see her spending a lot of time in Files and Records, reading up on a younger Wesley.

The Shelley was just such fun to play with - Wesley getting completely the wrong idea about the sort of woman she is, and her almost but not quite wishing it was so.

Thanks again for the lovely feedback!
