Notes: Takes place in Season 1, during "In the Dark."
The ring was beautifully beguiling, Angel thought. To walk in the sun again, to not have to worry about some overzealous enemy with a lucky crossbow... Surely the Powers wouldn't begrudge him this?
They wouldn't. But his soul would. It'll make your life too easy, it whispered. You don't deserve it.
No, he didn't. He knew Cordy and Doyle would debate that. They'd say he'd earned some time in the light, out of the shadows. They'd argue that he could help more people than ever now.
Seduction took many forms. This was just one more to resist, before his redemption.
