Fiction of the Wolf: Discord

Discord

by Red Wolf

Witty and urbane, Lorne was the perfect host. His vocal talents were commensurate with his ability to keep Caritas' diverse clientele — human, demon and otherwise — from slaughtering each other.

Tonight he had a regular in for a reading and his people managing skills were being put to the test. A quiet word here, a free drink there. Sometimes he wondered if one man's continued patronage was worth the drop in profits.

Coughing nervously, the man stepped up to the microphone. Angel's renowned fight against evil did little to lend verisimilitude to a singing voice that sounded like cats being strangled.

*coffee-choke* Oh, God! I needed that. Thank you! *snickering into travel mug* — via LiveJournal — posted by Willa at 05.05.2004 11:32 AEST |

I am so mean to Angel in fic (all two of them) but it's more good natured than my relegating Buffy to the role of bitch queen. All in good fun, disregard the axe handle.

Your icon is adorable. Pointy cats are pretty — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:33 AEST |

Hee hee! This is so great. And you used all three words! — via LiveJournal — posted by alliterator at 05.05.2004 11:34 AEST |

Colour me the pretentious smart arse of the day.

I wanted to get a drabble out for the challenge and didn't think I'd have time for more than one — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:35 AEST |

I just hope he wasn't singing "Oh Mandy". Oi, how I've suffered over the years with that song! — via LiveJournal — posted by Grandmum at 05.05.2004 11:39 AEST |

Wind Beneath My Wings? It will be something hideous that you last heard mangled into muzak in an elevator — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:40 AEST |

Wind Beneath My Wings?

Buffy wanted that for her first dance after she'd married Spike in Something Blue. Yes, there's a certain irony to that! lol — via LiveJournal — posted by Grandmum at 05.05.2004 11:40 AEST |

Whee! That was awesome — via LiveJournal — posted by babies stole my dingo at 05.05.2004 11:44 AEST |

Thanks. I do silly things to Angel in drabbles — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:45 AEST |

[evil grin] I made him a contestant on "American Idol" once... — via LiveJournal — posted by babies stole my dingo at 05.05.2004 11:45 AEST |

Considering the dross on that show, he may well have won — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:46 AEST |

*snerk* He can save the world, but he can't carry a tune. Poor guy — via LiveJournal — posted by Julie at 05.05.2004 11:49 AEST |

Neither can I. Scary singing voice.

I'm thinking it was a good thing Angel didn't make an appearance in Once More With Feeling, the nightmarishly bad singing of Buffy and Willow was bad enough — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:49 AEST |

There are only 2 episodes of Buffy I actively want to see, and that's one of them. (Hush is the other, though I was disappointed to learn that it wasn't done for the sake of being artfully silent, they were actually all magically silenced or something like that.) Of course, every time I tune in, it's one of the same 5 episodes, and those aren't them — via LiveJournal — posted by Julie at 05.05.2004 11:50 AEST |

Both are amongst my favourites. Hush has the creepiest villians of the series in the Gentlemen. Perhaps that's just mime-fear speaking — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 05.05.2004 11:51 AEST |

Ah! One of my favorite Angel moments brought to life. Good one! — via LiveJournal — posted by Murielle at 06.05.2004 17:58 AEST |

Thank you! — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 06.05.2004 17:58 AEST |

Cute story. I know what you mean about Angel's singing! — via fanfiction.net — posted by Imzadi at 06.05.2004 18:03 AEST |

Hey, I'm glad to see something from Lorne's point of view, even if that view is Angel singing horribly — via LiveJournal — posted by Dawn S at 07.05.2004 13:25 AEST |

I like Lorne and he called to me when I tried a three word challenge in one hit — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 07.05.2004 13:26 AEST |
