Time drabbles take 1

[cornerofmadness]

I hope to get a bunch of drabbles from this challenge and hope to get some of the fandomwishlist  hol.iday requests done at the same time (Nice community, check it  out if you'd like).

As per request this is a set of Lindsey/Darla drabbles set S2 of Angel.

 

If she had only met him at some other time, some other place maybe she could have loved him. Darla watched Lindsey sleeping, wondering why fate was so cruel. Why bring her back only to let her die? Did Lindsey know that was their intent? Why was her heart holding him so close? Shouldn’t she hate him for what had been done to her? How could this handsome little mortal be competing for Angel in her soul, both of them almost making her want to keep the awful thing just so she could be with them. Lovingly, she kissed him.

 

If only he had understood Wolfram and Hart’s true intentions in time to make a difference. Lindsey cradled Darla in his arms, heedless of the broken glass around him. He wasn’t supposed to be here, to be so in love. She shouldn’t be sobbing in his arms, half insane, destroying the mirrors, trying to erase herself. How could he have been party to such evil? Where had he lost his own soul? All he wanted was to protect her, love her in the little time that was left to them. Maybe she could forgive him a little before the end.

 

He’s out of time. Only he and Lilah are left alive. Darla looks at him with those yellow eyes, her beautiful face twisted by the demon inside her. She ran a hand through his hair as he waits for death.
"I deserve it for what I did," he whispered.
Darla pressed a finger to his lips as her face regained its humanity. She kissed him and he didn’t flinch away from the taste of blood. He didn’t even really mind dying at her hands. After the kiss, she smiled. "You get to live."
Stunned, he watched her leave with Drusilla.

Ohhhh. Nice. It's actually been a while since I read any Lindsey drabble, so yours was extra refreshing. Very nice, lovely vivid imagery...You captured the...the angst between them beautifully. Thank you!

Thanks. I'm glad you liked them. I was hoping to do a more full story since I like this pairing but time escaped me.
