Prompt: Angel, Lindsey/author's choice, trust.


When it all comes down to it, all you can count on is family. Lindsey's choking on blood, watching Lorne walk out the door, dying by Angel's order and Lorne's regret.

Thank fuck for failsafes, and the fact that Lindsey only trusts one person (being?) in any realm.

Gotta kill 'em both at the same time to kill either, and he feels his brother's rage in the back of his mind, sending strength and love and determination.

I'll be there by morning, his brother swears, and Lindsey lets his eyes close.
