His soul knows her as part of itself and she is all that can make him whole. She is solace and rapture and dignity and redemption all made flesh. Angel tries to deny it, tries to see her only with the eyes he owned before his love sent him to Hell and all his passion for the Chosen One was burned away from him along with his flesh, but there’s no use in it and it taxes him beyond endurance to keep up his pretense. Willow is all he has, even though he doesn’t have her. Even though he shouldn’t have her. Because none of the reasons they can never be, must never be, matter. Not anymore. He will have Willow. Of all the things Angel knows, he knows this with a certainty that is blinding and unshakeable. She is the world, his world, and he won’t rest until he is her world as well.The End

great take on that particular prompt. I've been having a hard time with all of the elements. Water was the easiest but the rest... Anyhow I love the imagery for this one. Sometimes all it takes is freeing yourself from a too literal take on the prompt. Once I stopped thinking of Earth as an element and started thinking in terms of it being the world we inhabit, I found it much easier to work with this prompt. I'm pleased you like the imagery here!GabrielleVery true... I've found that with some of the other prompts. But I just can't seem to think of the four remaining elements as anything but elements. And I always love the imagery you use. It's what makes your fics so powerful. It took me a while, too. Wow! What a lovely compliment! Thank you!Gabrielle Aww, I love it. That's all I really have to say. Thank you so much! I am delighted you enjoyed this!GabrielleThis fits in well with Angel's obsessiveness over the women in his life. Buffy on BtVS and Darla during the first half of season 2.He would definitely want to be Willow's world as well.Mare From: velvetwhip2006-03-03 06:56 pm (UTC) Re: The World is a Woman (Link) Wow! I am so glad you see this as being in character.Gabrielle
