Vanilla shippers unite! Which reminds me of the temp job I had typing at a church supplies place, and I persisted in sending invoices to the Untied Methodist Church. Sadly, no one caught it but me.
Wonderfully in character S1 C/A. *squee* Of course Angel would want to stop her brooding. One more level of guilt he didn't need. :) Thanks for the lovely C/A moment.
I really have entered into such a feeling of sadness about Cordy's fate that I can't write more than moments in her canonical time...AU is my refuge for my Cordelia!
The canonical fate of Cordelia in Joss' 'verse is too unkind---of course it was dictated in some measures by the RL choices of CC in getting pregnant, but still, horrid. And would we have done without Conner entirely? No...but I coulda done without him in bed with Cordelia. I'm amazed that I became the fan that I did, as the first "Angel" eps I saw were the ones right in the middle of the amnesia!Cordelia/pregnant!Cordelia. (The name of the goddess character escapes me in what I am sure is a Freudian slip) That's why I don't write more about Cordelia, in a straight story---I prefer her in AU, and not with Angel, because Angel was her death, just as she feared when she was the Queen C of Sunnydale. And it just pains me what Joss did to her, to Tara, and to Fred.
Joss is not kind to the women he creates. Between s2 and s6 of BtVS he literally strips Buffy of everything meaningful in her life.
He destroys Fred, literally, to make room for his X-Man.
Tara. God.
And what he did to Cordelia doesn't even bear repeating. CC getting pregnant in no way meant that Cordelia had to sleep with Connor. That was...beyond inappropriate is the best I can say.
I can't believe you stuck around if those were the first eps you saw. *blinks* I was hanging on by my fingernails at that point. Probably why I don't write her much after mid-s3. It's too painful. And watching YW is a guarenteed bad time. But my love for C/A and Cordelia remains as strong as ever, thus I write them. Even if most of it is angst galore. :D
But thanks for this little vignette. It was effortlessly perfect. *loves*

I like how Angel sees beyond the teeth, to why there's more teeth at times than others.
I like that he knows what will make her day. Night. You know what I mean. :D
I absolutely love this look into one of their small moments, when Angel just gets it. Cordy's stronger than I am. I almost burst into tears. *sniff*
