I’m desperately curious about any opinions on the Angel/Wesley interaction in After the Fall (aka season 6). There are a few images of A/W scenes from it behind the cut, if anyone’s interested.

I love the idea of not!touching angst, but I hadn’t thought about it in those terms. That makes the time period even more appealing and full of potential!

And Angel definitely tried to touch Wes at some point. It’s on the tip of my tongue (fingers, whatever) and I can’t remember what it was…
