Title: Not a Lie, After All
Fandom: Angel
Rating: PG for character death
Words: 100
Disclaimer: Not mine, they're Whedon's. *sob*
Written for: challenge100's #21 "Character Death" challenge.
Notes: Okay, I know...but you know, Sparrow and Knox had ulterior motives, and we don't really know if they were telling the truth about Fred's soul, do we?

---

"Lie to me," he'd said. And she had. "Soon you'll be where I am, and we'll be together." But Fred's soul was annihilated when Illyria had taken over her body, so there was no chance of that. It was, nevertheless, a beautiful lie, and even while Wesley's Watcherly self rebelled at the falsehood, his emotional side embraced it.

And yet, as he faded out of this world and into the next...he thought he must be dreaming, or still dying, or something. Because nothing else would explain the vision standing before him, waiting to welcome him with open arms.

:sniffle: I'll be all right just me a moment. Good one.

That was very sadly-sweet :)

Hey, I can fanwank with the best of them.

I really really wish we'd gotten a 6th season so that we might have been able to explore issues like this, though.

Aw. And word about Season 6. I read in an interview that Joss planned to have Fred and Illyria split into separate entities in S6. Wouldn't that have been cool? Oh, what could have been!

I know David B said he wouldn't do TV Angel movies...but maybe he'll change his mind. I can dream, can't I?

Just wait until he's staring in The Crow 7: It Sucks Beyond Measure or Valentine 1/2: The Prequel. That's when he'll start thinking about Angel tv-movies.
