Shattered images and fragments filtered through a mind tired, a body bone-weary, healing itself of the injuries incurred in days past as the sleep of day crept up to claim him, voices whispering through his thoughts, scattered like leaves blowing on the wind.

The golden, sunlit hues of a boy in his mind. He'd been strong, built to fight and trained to kill. Eyes that locked on his own, a body poised to fight, that didn't back down, not even when quiet vulnerability crept into his voice, because there had been steel underneath.

A chin risen in defiance, silent challenge accepted and met and despite everything, Angel had been impressed, for the boy had fought well. He had held up where most humans wouldn't have, spurned on by what Angel knew was rage, fueled by jealousy because he himself had been filled with it.


The boy, who was able to walk in the sunlight, a boy who would be all the things for Buffy that Angel couldn't be. This boy would have-has had-things he would never touch again. Things that were only a dim dream to the vampire. He had her.

No....Angel didn't like him and yet...there was a grudging kind of respect mixed in with the dislike and a disquieting feeling in the pit of his gut. He didn't know why that was, only that it was.

Might hurt you

Shaking his head, the vampire closed his eyes, words softly spoken, full of menace and deadly with promise repeating an endless loop as he fell under the thrall of inevitable sleep.

Please try

Apparently I'm the sort of dork who feels the need to justify her plot-bunnies which will never even be written... *facepalm*

When Lindsey and Riley meet in Nepal, in my own little 'verse, it's more about the interactions and the weird little stuff they seem to have in common, rather than any crazy-jungle-sex-up-against-a-tree. *sheepish grin* Damned if I know why I felt the need to clarify that. XD

you are so writing that for me!!!!!!!! YES!

Exactly. They both fell in love with women who couldn't see past Angel to see them. (Tiny blondes what's up with that? Then there is of course, Angel himself. So many issues. Oh and a shared vamp thing mmmmmm.

Why aren't you writing yet missy?

Huh Huh Huh?

*is demanding*

Hee! If it weren't for my complete and utter lack of a Riley-voice at this time, I'd agree to that in a second. ;D (Although I've had the notes done up for it and filed in a neat little pile labeled 'Nepal' since before I finished 'Healthy Attachments'. *g*)
