By the time the taxi reached the Wolfram & Hart building, I was so desperately missing the black cabs of London and the simple, common courtesy shown by their drivers-- at least in comparison to the ruffian behind the wheel of my conveyance-- that I was fighting a continuous urge to instruct the man to turn the vehicle around and spirit me back to ( Read more... )

I never knew there were multiple ways of being bored out of your mind. When I ascended or did whatever the hell that was, I thought that boredom was my punishment for making the wrong choice and being stupid. Now that I'm working for Woflram & Hart, I think that boredom is my punishment for Angel making the wrong choice and being stupid. It's based ( Read more... )

Lilah Morgan doesn't cry.

That's what I told myself, over and over as I'd walked away from Wesley's office.

It was a rule I'd lived by as I'd risen in the ranks at Wolfram and Hart. Never show weakness, never remind them you are a woman unless it's useful to do so, and never ever cry in front of anyone. I'd earned the reputation of being a cold- ( Read more... )

I think Connor knew something was different after we ran into Alex ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what it feels like to share your soul with someone else -- particularly tonight. Not only one, no, but two.. share your spark with two other people and not being able to call it your own. You can feel each speck of their anguish and dance deep inside their misery.. ooooh. It must be painful. But what happens when one of you ( Read more... )

"I meant with him being an important member of the team, and Angel's right hand man, of course." "Of course," I replied back at her with a smirk on my face and an idea in my head. Seemed t'me that Miss L was actin' like a skittish kitten 'round the subject of Percy. Huh. And here I thought there might've been somethin' with her and Eve ( Read more... )

The flight had been a necessary evil, but somewhat brief, at least in a relative sense, and certainly better for its being all but solo. Despite being deprived of its long-standing Headquarters, its senior governing members and the majority of its local support and junior staff, the Watchers' Council was not without its assets. A small fleet of ( Read more... )

So Lilah was sendin' some team out to get Miss Burned ta' Bits, which hey fun for them. However I wasn't 'bout to go spot checkin' her work just yet. Besides I had left that parking garage with a bit more than fiest in me. There was something off about it all. I rolled my shoulders a bit tryin' to loosen up a bit, but damn if I still didn't have ( Read more... )

I cruised into work right on time, which is like after everyone else. So that can all see my entrance of course. I decided to favor them with this new really stunning pink cardigan set I had picked up at Saks on sale, which totally meant I got to spend the money I saved on this matching pair of strappy sandals. Well, the saved part plus about half ( Read more... )

I woke up energized, refreshed, and tingly in a few places I had sort of forgot could tingle to begin with. Looking back I couldn't remember the last time I had that much fun...or even when I had been that fun in and of myself. A day at the Observatory, a picnic in the twilight, and then an evening spent seeing just how quickly I could turn and ( Read more... )
