Love your icon, fractured moonlight. Cordy's cat costume was iconic.

Ugh.
We had a citywide internet outage all day today (Wed Oct 21) for some server update and it just came back on about half an hour ago. Although I'm usually hardcore with quoting, all those amazing caps--I can't do it. Angel: "I'd call me, wouldn't you?" Cordy's face: Hell yeah I would! Since our 'Provider' watch party, my favorite line in the episode is: "I shouldn't have left you and the baby alone like that." Anyone who caught that moment with no knowledge of the rest of the franchise would have assumed Cordy was Connor's mother. She was such a natural with Connor that I've wondered if perhaps she did some babysitting on the side while she worked at the dress shop in BtVS s3 for extra money. Quote:
I also have a guilty pleasure for fanfics that have the Scoobies react to CA as parents. __________________

Do you have any fics like that you can recommend off the top of your head? There's one I really like with A & C getting into a food fight and The Scoobies walking in on them, but I can't remember the author right now. __________________

It is and for me, another one that has stuck with me despite that I've never re-watched post-WITW season 3 and never will was when Connor was kidnapped. Fred had suggested that Angel call Cordy on her stupid vacation and Angel refuses, snapping at her something to the effect of: "Cordy will be back soon, with gifts for Connor and he's going to be here so she can give them to him!" (I'd look it up because I prefer accurate quoting to paraphrasing but don't recall the exact episode.) That came across as a very spousal thing to say, as though he wanted to protect a mother from the pain of losing her child. Quote:
I hate to find it amusing because it's very Xander but yeah, I do. Quote:
There's the one I mentioned on Discord: Seperate Hearts by Becjane. Angel has Cordelia and Connor go into hiding from W&H at the Summers' home under the protection of the Scoobies. It's extremely well written and while angsty, CA/Baby!Connor is ultimately fluffy and sweet. As I mentioned on Discord, her Buffy reaction to Connor is spot on with Buffy's line in 'Halloween' about preferring vampires to taking kids trick-or-treating. I believe Wavelengths by Lysa might be considerable although CA's parenthood isn't so much at the forefront. It's a fusion of sorts of Connor's kidnapping and the BtVS episode 'Gone' in which Cordelia and Connor are both kidnapped and Angel finds he must enlist the Scoobies' help to find them. Even if it doesn't quite fit this particular trope it's still an excellent fic. The last one I have on hand (because I'm grabbing from my rec list) is Prophecy Boy by wereleapard58. The writing isn't great. It's a time travel fic with a rather badly inconsistent BtVS timeline but the overall plot is well-conceived and the tropes were portrayed well. __________________

Thanks for the recs. Am currently reading Seperate Hearts by Becjane. Some Halloween caps in honor of Halloween. (Can't believe October is over already...) Cordelia: I know. Is the Bronze so not happening? Or what? Buffy: I was late due to unscheduled slayage. Showed up looking trashed. Willow: Was he mad? Buffy: Actually he was pretty unmad. Which probably had something to do with the fact that Cordelia was drooling in his cappuccino. I'd say Angel was definitely looking very unmad. The way she's looking at him is #relatable. I wonder how long he stayed at The Bronze after Buffy bailed on their date. Did he stay for that cappuccino? The way he's looking at her here is cracking me up. He has no idea what to make of her lack of tact. Angel: They were just incredibly dull. Simpering morons, the lot of them. I always wished I could meet someone... exciting. Interesting. Also...Angel in Offspring. Angel: "You know, I've been around a long time..." Cordy: "Which reminds me. Next birthday, you think we could skip the two-hundred and fifty odd candles on the cake and the inevitable fire marshal and just go and just go with a little song?" Angel: "And I've never known anyone like you." Cordy: "Well, duh!" Looks like he got his wish. Cordy and Angel working together to help the (helpless) Buffy. They had no idea how soon working together for them would be second nature. Xander: (shakes his head). Give it up, Cordy. You're never gonna get between those two. And thus begins why Cordy was so oblivious/in denial of her feelings and Angel's in ATS S3. __________________

Which reminds me of much the same expression on his face while he watched Cordy's performance as Nora in 'A Doll's House' in 'Eternity' (I can't imagine her stooping so low but I also can't imagine how she got that role without sleeping with someone). Quote:
DB might have gone off-script because he couldn't manage to look "uncomfortable and disgusted" but I actually think the "unmad" reaction fit better. Cordy treated him like a person rather than like a parolee even if it was out of ignorance and talked to him about cars, how could he not be interested?! Additionally, we got Jealous!Buffy which was awesome. Sorry, that sounds kind of evil but it was. Quote:
I mean just look at the guy! Quote:

Reminds me of a fic I read in which Cordy throws Angel a huge birthday party and even invites the Scoobies but of course danger is just around the corner. Seeing and Believing by LadyJubilee. The plot is really well done and has a unique and well-developed villain. Quote:

I don't think she slept with anyone for the role, but the casting director/someone important in the play must've had a huge crush on her and been willing to overlook her, uh, lack of suitability for the part. Quote:
Buffy wouldn't have been jealous if she didn't sense something there between CA. Or at least, that's what I'm going to believe. There's just so much unintentional foreshadowing in the ep, Buffy's jealousy included. Also Willow's "Angel will never fall for her act". Cut to S3 when Angel has, in fact, 'fallen for her act'. Buffy was right to worry. Re: Cordy treating him like a person. It's probably because I read too much fic, but I like to believe he was a little disappointed when he realized she hadn't known he was a vampire and backed off once she truly found out. Quote:
It's highly possible her continued pursuit was partially due to her and Buffy's rivalry, but I also think she genuinely thought he was a hottie and wanted some Angel smoochies lol. Quote:

Lorne's "It's fate. It's the stars" comes to mind. I love waxing poetic about these two in here. No other ship makes me gush this much haha. __________________
