Written for: LJ Community Wordoftheday100's "transmute" challenge.
Notes: Takes place during Angel 5:20, "The Girl in Question." Wesley's POV.
Steeling myself, I take her parents into my office to tell them the bad news. Their little girl is gone, replaced by a God-King with a bad attitude and blue hair.
Oh, God, they look so happy. Why didn't anyone call them? Anyone else, that is? Because I? Was not up to having that conversation.
They natter on about the Hyperion and how we're family, and I'm still not up to having this conversation. Then she walks in, and I hear Fred's dear, familiar accent. Illyria's transmuted herself back into Fred for them.
And my heart cracks all over again.
