Seer’s Requiem: Epilogue B

Leave a Comment

EPILOGUE B: THE GRACE OF IT ALL The roof of the Hyperion was quiet except for the wind and the distant hum of a city that had never cared what it cost them. Dawn bled across the sky in ugly pinks and golds, the kind of light that made Angel’s skin look almost warm. Cordelia was in his arms—lighter than she should have been, all sharp bones and sharper tongue, the visions finally winning the war they’d been waging since she’d whispered the truth to him alone. Her head lolled… Read more Seer’s Requiem: Epilogue B →

14: Someday

True Confessions: Someday Late afternoon sunlight slanted through the tall windows of the Hyperion, turning the lobby a soft, lazy gold. It had been one of those rare, blessedly quiet days—no visions, no clients, no apocalypse knocking on the door. Cordelia was stretched out on the red couch, head resting against Angel’s shoulder, his arm draped loosely around her, fingers idly tracing patterns on her upper arm. It had become their spot.

True Confessions: The Vision I Never Told You About The Hyperion lobby was unusually quiet. Wesley sat at his desk, glasses perched on his nose, muttering over some ancient text and completely oblivious to anything that wasn’t written in dead languages. The latest client was running late, the others were out on a supply run, and rain from the night before still dripped from the eaves outside. Cordelia was sprawled sideways on the red couch, flipping through the latest issue of Cosmo. Angel had finished his book twenty minutes ago… Read more 7: The Vision… →

5: The Almost Kiss

Leave a Comment

True Confessions: The Almost-Kiss The Hyperion lobby was quiet except for the soft tick of the old clock and the occasional creak of leather as Angel shifted on the red couch. They’d made it back in one piece—barely. A Raskthor demon had nearly taken Cordelia’s head off with one swipe of its claws. Angel had gotten there just in time, tackling her out of the way and taking the hit himself. Now a shallow gash ran across his ribs, already healing, but the adrenaline still crackled between them like static.… Read more 5: The Almost Kiss →
