rabid1stSo, a connected buddy of mine is telling me about the latest Angel sides and suddenly the conversation looks like this...(paraphrased for the most part)...
ME: You are kidding?
Her: Uhmm...no, that's what it says?
ME: But...BUT that's a book...
Her: Excuse me?
ME: Seriously (and here I mention all the major plot points again)...that's a book...Spike and Dru...or rather...WAIT...no...NO...it's fanfic.
Her: It's a fanfic? What part?
ME: All of it...okay...part of it is from the novel Spike and Dru...and the rest of it is...wait...mind...WORK mind...yes! It is from an older fanfic...and a really good one, too.
Thinking I MUST be misunderstanding...I attempt to recap what I have learned so far...
rabid1st: There is a sub...and Spike flashback to evil...and for some reason Spike takes 2 gay vamps with him to rescue some people for the INITITIVE...and Angel acts all mopey?
Her: lol
Her: Nooooooooooo
Her: this guy, Mr. something or other, comes to visit Angel
Her: Angel sees him
Her: there is a flashback
Her: to 1942
Her: or 43
Her (paraphrased): and Spike is on a submarine...killing people. And there are nazi vampires. Or the nazis are trying to make vampires so they can use them as weapons.
ME (turns out I did read that right the first time): That's Mustang Sally...hang on...let me make sure...
I go to ask CAIA (she knows everything...if I was on Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire...she would be my "phone a friend" lifeline...the one that OBJECTS TO THE UNION...she never "holds her piece")...and she confirms my suspicions...
JW and COMPANY are using a big chunk of a fic called The Heart's Filthy Lesson by Mustang Sally and Rivkat in an upcoming Angel episode.
Not that I blame them. It happens to be one of the few fics I wish I had written.
Still...it has come to this...they are officially out of ideas of their own...and also...Fury and Petrie are doing a Mary Sue, if rumor is to be believed. There are characters of both of them. Sheesh! Maybe this is just a bad joke to tide us all over the hiatus?
