kitao610 posted and reminded me it's been a decade since Angel's final episode aired (on the 19th actually), meanwhile, I'm rewatching Buffy and Angel with David and Lauren and Doyle just died and Wesley arrived (last night was the episode with Jeremy Renner which was cool).

So it hasn't gone, or even faded away.

We still remember.

First, Happy Birthday to ailise! Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating ::hugs::

And here's a thank you drabble for yasminke and everyone else who's helped with my computer problems; we didn't solve it but we tried and I appreciate the help and sympathy very much indeed.

It's a darkish, gen Angel drabble.

The theme this week is 'memories'. This is set in AtS S5.

The Cost of Admission

He punches as hard; Angel never did hold back, souled or not. The fist ploughing into his gut is brutal, like the knuckles grinding lip against teeth, until the sweet sting of torn flesh reminds him of a hundred blows that left his mouth just this ruined, just this ripe to be kissed clean.

But as they fight, with Spike painting a blood-limned grin on his face to annoy, he knows it's different now.

He can remember kneeling, conquered, before Angelus, but the thumb opening his mouth was never gentle.

It is now.

Or maybe he's finally stopped fighting it.

This one's for rubyblushu ::hugs::
