It's angst! It's man-pain! Kate is, at the core, Angel's mirror -- at least through the end of Season 2.
It's why I love her! There used to be an essay up somewhere about Angel and noir tropes, with some discussion of Kate; what I always wanted for Kate was for her to be a protagonist in a female-centric/feminist noir story.

Me, too. I really think that's what they originally intended for her and then it all just sort of broke down, which is just a shame. (And now there's another AU in my head where Angel and Fringe crossover and Kate meets up with the Brown Betty-verse Olivia and Astrid, and together they all fight crime... Oh dear.)
I enjoy this AU scene!
Thanks! I love the concept of this one, and it gives Kate a good noir arc -- though she definitely shares the spotlight with Wesley (and the OCs). It's on my list of 'projects to finish already, damn it.' Unfortunately, there are quite a few of those.

... that is a glorious, glorious AU right there.

Well, I'm sure we're looking forward to all of them! :)
