This is a co-written Wes/Angel story by WesleysGirl and Magpie.
WG has overall control of the Angel POV and voice, and Magpie
handles Wes. Magpie is English and uses British spelling.
NC-17. Very dark. Slash - m/m explicit sex. Elements
of non-consensual. Don't click on the links below unless you are
18+, otherwise the dead boys will come round and give you a good
kicking.
Set in an AU that leaves canon about halfway through Rain of Fire.
Wesley's links to Lilah led to a successful alliance against the
Beast, and the threat was eliminated before things went too far.
Within BtVS continuity, the story starts at roughly the same time
as Lies My Parents Told Me.
Thanks to Mer for beta'ing the earlier sections, and Jane Davitt
for taking over so graciously.
The title and quoted lyrics are Leonard Cohen's. Of course.
