This post is all about Angel
Self, note that leaves/lives are two different things gadamit. READ YOUR TAGS BEFORE POSTING SHEESH.
Plus, playing Cordelia and Illyria at the same freaking time is hard. AGH. I DID NOT THINK THIS THROUGH OKAY.
Anyway! I know I'd already thanked![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
notcrazy_honest for like a bajillion times, but dude - THANK YOU. I've been wanting to read After the Fall ever since I heard of its existence/publication. HOBOY. And, just in case you missed it - THANK YOU!
Man this comics made me realize I ship Illyria with Wes AND Spike and I can't decide which pairing I like more. And it's great because in the comics, both guys' relationships with Fred are the reason Ten-storey-Illyria! was brought down. I mean, in Season Five I was all about Wes/Illyria, but reading SPIKE made me ship them hard. GAH.
Anyway. It just... saddens me a bit - because I am biased and I love Cordy and I know she's dead in here and everything - but, I don't know. Fred's... significance to the team is... overplayed, I guess? I can't think of an appropriate word right now. Like, every single one of the men were relating to her most of the time. She is their weakness. She is their dream and desire. And, yes, I get that the reason this is so is because of Illyria, too, but... cue my internal flailing because I can't explain this properly. Agh. Go me.
Anyway (for the third time if you're keeping count), as I said, I am biased - so I love the Cordelia bits. Man. The breeze scenes with both Wes and Angel made me go T_____T and thank you, writer/s, because you realized that waaaay before there was Angel Investigations, there was AI with only Angel/Cordy/Wes.
And then there's Gwen.cherrybomb25's Gwen made me love this character, and OMG. Her role in the comics broke my heart. And they even inserted Gwen/Connor which is like LOLHUHWHAT but it makes sense, dammit.
And of course, Cordy/Angel. Man my heart breaks for Angel even more after reading this. DAMN YOU WHEDON. CAN'T YOUR CHAMPIONS LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. I'm a huge, huge, huuuuuuge C/A shipper, so seeing their moments together makes my shipper heart a-flutter, but... awww. Knowing that they can never be until she's returned to life or he dies? T_____T
And then there's GUNN. I don't know how to feel for him, I mean for the second time in his life he lives to regret something he's done. UGH.
And Lorne. LORNE. I miss you, Andy Hallett. :(
