Angelus Mortis: Chapter 44 UPDATE ALERT

UPDATE ALERT Chapter 44: Reconciling with Death

Hello lovelies! A new chapter is out! Enjoy <3

Hey Seraphina! Hope you’re doing well. Love your stories. How does it feel being so talented? There is not a single story you’ve written where you didn’t devour. I just read the new Levi and Slayte story in Ao3 and was wondering if you can repost your oneshots of Thanatos, Hypnos, Cronus and Nyx which I remember reading in your Ao3. They were so good, I don’t understand why you deleted them in the first place😭😭😭Or do you have any other random oneshots sitting in your computer?Im so starved for Angelus Mortis, I’ll take anything😭😂

Hi, Anon. Thank you for your kind words of support, and for enjoying my writing.

I removed those stories because I thought they weren't well written, to be honest. I'm very critical of myself, and dislike my writing most of the time. When stories have more hits/views than actual comments feeding back, you're left not knowing what readers think of it. With a writer's brain, that can convince you the writing quality probably sucks.

I'm surprised to still be getting Asks and interest about Angelus Mortis though, considering it was discontinued ages ago. I thought only people from the Discord server ever read it, lol. But that's also me assuming the Anons asking about it lately aren't from there, and that you aren't one of the people who already reviewed the works before. Apologies if you are - hard to tell without a name.

Any non-Quietus content going forward will be posted under my new Pseud on Ao3, though, including AM once I'm added back as co-writer. I may re-upload the gift oneshots under there at some point (minus the Thanatos one), if people really want them back. It's a shock to me that anyone even noticed they're missing to begin with😅

Thanks for messaging.

Blood Vengeance

So today in the Fanged Four Discord server, we were talking about ship/group names, and I had a realization that I've never had before in the twenty years that I've been writing Spangel fanfic.

Spike: What do you have in mind?

Angel: I think it's time the Immortal found out exactly who he's dealing with. I think it's time for blood vengeance.

Angel: Blood vengeance. Look, I'm sure we're on the list. Is there anything under blood vengeance?

I love everything about this scene, of course, but the more I thought about it this morning, the more I was like... Angel is referring to himself and Spike here, together, by the name Blood Vengeance. As if that's how they're collectively known, the two of them. As if that's what people call them (or maybe what people call them specifically when they're out for revenge). Like some kind of super group made up of just Angel and Spike: you've got the X-Men, the Avengers, the Justice League, the Power Rangers, the Suicide Squad, and Blood Vengeance.

And it's not just that he refers to them this way, but that he's literally asking if they're on Morty's invitation list this way. This is a list of real people's names! And he's checking to see if they're on it together under the single title of Blood Vengeance!

I know that none of the ship names we use in this fandom are actually mentioned in canon; we do the common smooshname thing for our ships, which is fine. But it's really interesting to me that aside from names like The Oracles, The Furies, and The Gorch Brothers - who are all siblings - Blood Vengeance is the only (???) group of two characters who canonically seem to have a name that means both of them together, that they actually use to refer to themselves in the specific context of names, as on an invitation list. Literally a ship name built right into the show. It's kind of a shame that the scene occurs right near the end of canon, after the name Spangel was already established for the ship. Because I think it would be so fun for their ship name to be a thing they actually - at least sometimes - call themselves.

But also, after Angel has them check the list for Blood Vengeance, there's the best part:

Spike: Maybe it's under Angelus.

THEY LITERALLY CHECKED FOR BLOOD VENGEANCE FIRST! BEFORE THEIR ACTUAL NAMES.

I'm constantly finding new things about AtS to love, but I think this is going to be my favorite thing for a little while. It just makes me happy.

gay xander and what could have been

allegedly, whedon had planed from the very beginning to eventually have one of the scoobies come out as gay, they just hadn't decided right up until the writing of season four whether it would be xander or willow. So what happened is we ended up with three seasons of gay subtext popping up around both of them. and obviously, with willow, we get the follow through. But with xander, all of those little moments and hints just...fizzle out.* It adds such a frustrating element to his characterization. I can't help but wonder what kind of character he would have ended up being if they had decided to make him the gay one rather than willow.**

the main issues with xander that a lot of fans have pointed out over the years and which now dominates the narrative around his character analysis is a) jealousy over any man who receives attention from buffy and/or willow b) entitlement to the bodies and sex lives of the women around him c) continually unchecked slut shaming of women, both his friends and love interests and of course d) the show not only excusing all of this but actively framing him as being right

so if they had landed on making him gay...how would that have effected the way they wrote him? Gay men can absolutely be misogynistic, but the particular flavour of xander's misogyny is so fuelled by his sexual attraction to, resentment of, and entitlement towards the sex lives of the women around him.

The first three seasons as they are would still be the same, and there is a lot of xander being utterly unbearable while the show insists his behavouir is perfectly acceptable and understandable and even noble at times. from The Pack to Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, to just his entire attitude towards angel and later angelus and even later towards buffy in relation to angelus...oof.

i wonder then, if there would have been a shift from young, insecure and closeted xander who covets women as objects, into a self actualized out xander who realizes the way he treated willow, buffy, cordelia, anya ect. was the result of his own sexual repression and desperate need to be validated as a Successful Heterosexual Man.

I mean. we almost certainly wouldn't have. I guess it depends on whether of not whedon continued to identify with xander and use him as a self insert/mouthpiece even after the character was made gay, and if xander no longer being the lense through which whedon could project his own issues would have made him let go of the character a little , and if that would have allowed the writers room to re-evaluate their approach to the character and maybe gain some insight into the ways in which they had been perpetuating misogyny through him. and okay i kind of doubt it...but if that had happened, maybe we would have gotten a less misogynistic xander...or perhaps he would have been just as entitled and judgmental as ever and it all would have been a confused muddled mess because while the doyalist reality of whedon's own misogyny would have continued to dictate the character there would no longer have been any watsonian explanation for xander's attitude/behavouir.

anyways, this is a far from a well put together string of paragraphs but im just pondering the celluloids ya know? And oh man, as a side note, gay xander would have at the very least saved us all from 1) having to watch him thirst after the teenage potentials and 2) dating dawn in season 8.

*okay there was that one time in s5 where he goes on in detail about what makes spike so alluring but other than that

**ofc you can pry lesbian willow from my cold dead hands and even then i'm counting on rigor mortis to keep my claws in it

TLDR: the writers at one time considered making xander gay and i'm curious how that would have affected his characterization

WIP Title Ask Game: tell me about #5!

In Hora Mortis Nostrae is a psychological horror that explores Drusilla's mortal life and Angelus's torment of her from the confession scene until the convent massacre, and delves deep into her mental deterioration and her fracturing mind as it fractures, and the effects of ongoing complex trauma and extended terror.

Early stages though because, ah, it requires a lot of research and is very heavy subject matter. Also, I kinda got waylaid by some of the other things on the list >.> But talking about it now makes me wanna get back to it XD Here is a banner:

Chapter Update!

Angelus Mortis, Part XLVI: The Lost Night is now live! I hope you enjoy it and that I can keep this momentum going <3 As always, comments are appreciated so much more than you know! Find the latest update on your platform of choice!

Part XLVI on AO3 or on Fanfiction. net!

Hi! So I was rereading Angelus Mortis and I was wondering if there was any reference photos for Itachi's earrings? The ones he originally had and the ones Elissa gifted to him?

I had to do some serious digging to find these again.

The ones on the right were his original earrings. If I recall correctly, they had amber stones instead, and ancient Greek rune engravings. The ones on the left were gifted to him. They're more similar to part of the earring set he wears in Quietus.

Thanks for re-reading. If you hadn't already, please kindly consider leaving a review. My former co-writer wrote the earrings scene and she receives the comments. I'm sure it'd brighten up her day.

\Cari fratelli e sorelle\Porto quotidianamente nel cuore, con dolore, la sofferenza delle popolazioni in Palestina e in Israele, dovuta alle ostilità in corso\Le migliaia di morti, di feriti, di sfollati, le immani distruzioni causano dolore, e questo con conseguenze tremende sui piccoli e gli indifesi, che vedono compromesso il loro futuro\Mi domando\davvero si pensa di costruire un mondo migliore in questo modo, davvero si pensa di raggiungere la pace?\Papa Francesco\Angelus\

"C'è un quadro di Klee che s'intitola Angelus Novus. Vi si trova un angelo che sembra in atto di allontanarsi da qualche cosa su cui fissa lo sguardo. Ha gli occhi spalancati, la bocca aperta, le ali distese. L'Angelo della Storia deve avere questo aspetto. Ha il viso rivolto

al passato dove ci appare una catena di eventi egli vede una sola catastrofe che accumula senza tregua e la rovescia ai suoi piedi. Egli vorrebbe ben trattenersi, destare i morti e ricomporre l'infranto. Ma una tempesta spira dal Paradiso che si è impigliata nelle sue ali, ed è così forte che egli non può chiuderle. Questa tempesta lo spinge irresistibilmente nel futuro, a cui volge le spalle, mentre il cumulo delle rovine sale davanti a lui al cielo. Ciò che chiamiamo Progresso è questa tempesta".

Walter Benjamin, "Tesi di filosofia della storia"
