Characters: Fred/Wesley
Prompt: Half life
Word Count: 218
Rating: G
Summary: It’s a half life that he lives now.
Notes: Written for myloveshine. July 24. Tag to “A Hole In The World”.

It’s a half life that he lives now. Now that she is gone (but not gone, really – her body lives on where her soul does not), his world is a mass of pain and remembering and wishing they had had just a little more time.

They did have some time together for which his is grateful but it will never be enough. It will never be enough that they loved because she was taken from him far too soon and for what? Knox’s sick obsession with his God, Illyria? Is that really why she is no longer alive and well by his side?

It all seems so pointless. Death should have meaning. Shouldn’t it?

Hers most definitely does not, contrary to what Knox said before bullets put an end to his pathetic existence. Hers was a sacrifice by a man whose right to live was not, in his opinion, worth much at all. Hers was a life stolen.

It’s a half life that he lives now, without her bubbly, infectious personality, bright grin and her amazing intellect to make him whole. He knows it will continue to be so until the day he dies and is able to join her in the afterlife if there is such a thing. Only then will he be able to find peace again.

Fred/Wes were a big reason why I watched the show and this is just wonderful! :)
I'm not much of a Angel/Buffy fandom writer (so far I've done lots of crossovers and one Spuffy fix) but I've been meaning to write for it for a while now.

Look out for my next request post and you might get some (plus I love Spike/illyria)

Aww, cool! I watched mostly cuz Joss Whedon. That name on a thing means automatic watchingness from me. :D Fred/Wes is an awfully good reason as well.

I never was big in the BtVS/Angel writing either but lately have found I'm getting into it. Tis awesome! :D

Glad you liked!

This one is so depressing. But still written wonderfully, even if it's two hundred words. *sniff*
