It's so well done though. Cordy returns to the Hyperion (I can't recall where she'd been) to find the new renovations she'd helped him with in ruins because Angel had gone into a rage after reading her test results. It ends with them laying in bed together both scared but agreeing to make the best of what time they have. Quote:
Some good examples are: 'Friends and Neighbors' by Lysa (they're not exactly living together but are living next door to each other in adjoining apartments so close enough) and 'Sleeping with Tigers' by Califi. Angel arguably saw more of Cordy in the--what was to--1 or 2 days that she lived in his apartment than anyone ever had in her life including her parents. Quote:

But I'm so off topic from CA rn, so moving on... Quote:
I also love in RWAV when she stays with him. Funny how in S1 he wanted to get rid of her, but in S3 he'd be happy to have her staying however long she wanted. Quote:

I'm surprised no one has fanfic-ed the peanut butter coming up again in season 3 with them as a couple. I wonder if she'd continue to deny it. Quote:

Nice parallel catch!
Groo isn't as much of a dumb oaf as he seems. __________________

I appreciate that Groo actually did the healthy thing there, which was confront Cordelia about her feelings for Angel, instead of being jealous and pathetic and trying to keep them apart. Quote:
The "you laugh at the same jests" make me think of the episode where Cordy says something like "no one gets my humor" and Angel adds "I thought it was funny." What episode was that from again? I'm having a brain fail. __________________

I've (reluctantly) never thought Groo was a bad guy, I just hate what his appearance did to CA. It's a bit maddening that just that small speech was all that was needed to open Cordy's eyes to her feelings for Angel and she accepted them so easily yet no one thought to give it to her sooner! Like before Groo showed up! While Angel got the Kyruption speech twice and dismissed it both times! Or did she need to whole Connor kidnapping thing to happen to figure out her priorities or something? Quote:

And IA. Angel laughed at her Barbie dream car joke in Halloween. Suffice to say, he always appreciated her humor. Quote:
Quote:
Am I a bad person for not minding teenage Connor erased? Then again, it would also give Connor a do-over and the life he missed growing up with Cordy & Angel. Quote:
I never disliked Groo himself, though. I appreciate that he recognized Cordy for the Queen she is (unlike, say, Xander). He treated our girl well, so I'll give him that. Quote:
Quote:
We also theorized about Jasmine possibly keeping CA apart and maybe having some influence on Cordy as early as the end of Birthday (when Cordy was 'demonized' into a higher power). __________________

"Did you just compare me to a car?" "Well, it was a very nice car." I forget if there are any moments in the series that support it but I've read fics where doesn't like to let other people drive his GMX not even Cordy because it's like his baby. 'Long Time Coming' is one. I remember when the Fang Gang went to LA to check with Lorne if the revised curse to secure his soul worked, Faith wanted to drive his car and he refused until the return trip so he could hold Cordy while she slept. Even then he was watching her pretty closely. Hehe. I've also read one or two where he rages at Cordy for "borrowing" his car without asking and denting it in minor accidents. Quote:
I'm having a tough time choosing between To Shanshu in LA, Birthday, and That Vision Thing. Quote:
This is one I have in my rec list: Promise Me by Misha. I personally prefer eraser fics to fixers though I'd totally read the plot I mentioned and ironically one of the fics I hope I can see through is a fixer (Or well, more like a different but better dumpster fire that is able to be fixed with no deaths). Quote:
Quote:
"What can I offer her?" Funny thing is if Cordy knew this she'd probably fume and go "Shouldn't I be the judge of that?!" Quote:
I suppose her history could be a factor but how would they know? I don't expect that she was really open about it or that Angel would disrespect her privacy by talking about it behind her back. Quote:

It's such a nice day outside today.
Quote:
There was this moment in First Impressions: https://therearenopeoplelikeus.tumbl...t/187052967555 I can't think of any others, but Cordy does seem really excited like driving his car isn't something that happens often. Quote:

Basically Angel is in a deep brood mode over Darla (because he couldn't save her) and Willow invites he and Cordy to Sunnydale for Christmas to help cheer him up. It's not actually a Christmas fic that just provided the excuse to get them to Sunnydale but it's about how this trip tests both old and developing feelings. Fair warning: Angel has pretty much a 'Chosen' kiss scene with Buffy except it's a bit more mature as it's more about testing his feelings than out of numbness and while it, of course, still doesn't sit well with Cordy, it serves to provide him with more direct closure than Buffy's death did in 'Heartthrob'. There is also a bit of heavy Buffy bashing but as in all CA fics she's made to sort of need/deserve it because she's immature about CA. Quote:
Valid point about his own name. In retrospect, the one person I can recall Groo referring to by name is Angel which also happens to NOT be a birth name but one bestowed onto a strong and respected warrior even if the bestower was Angel himself or so Groo probably assumed. Angel has said at least once, specifically in "Untouched": "It's just a name" but I headcanon that he chose it in honor of his sister Kathy who had welcomed Angelus and her death into their home believing him an angel (Arguably that's where the Latin name Angelus and the moniker 'The demon with the face of an angel' came from as well). Groo's birth name is no doubt a reference of revulsion since he's considered an abomination in Pylea (like Quasimodo which literally translates to 'Half-Formed') so I can see him being wary of birth names. Though one would think Cordy would have a talk with him about it. I understand that she enjoys being a princess until it comes down to unwanted, vision stealing cumshucking but to never have her partner use her given name? I suppose that is part of how she was OOC during that time. Quote:
Damn that girl was buried so deep in denial it's kinda ridiculous. Although the dress she ended up with was a bit redundant of her prom dress, it did succeed in driving Angel crazy. His eyes had never fallen so far out of their sockets. Though the dress probably didn't matter, it was how she embodied it---and no doubt a bit of how much skin it showed, we do see later on that there is still a bit of Liam in him. Quote:
I've suggested this before but while Groo clearly was not a willing participant or even aware that he was one at all, I feel Jasmine deliberately threw him in between CA. 1. The timing could not have been more sublime as Angel was right in the middle of going for that next step. 2. Groo was a guaranteed safe distraction from Angel that provided the time needed to insta-grow Connor. 3. Someone with an agenda had to have steered Groo to the Hyperion. There is no way he would have found Cordy by himself with how huge L.A alone is nevermind Earth. He wouldn't have even known how to use the internet or a phone book or even what those things are. Quote:
She would not have allowed it. If she did fear the prophecy she would have been a lot smarter and talked to Angel or at least not have practically baited Connor for Holtz by wandering around with him out in the open. Do we even know where Wesley was going? Did he know? I can see her taking Connor to her apartment and revoking Angel's invite or perhaps even going so far as to getting Buffy involved. For Connor, she would have tossed their unresolved issues and the awkwardness of explaining his existence through that portal to Quor-Toth that Holtz jumped into. I can't recall whether the contamination to Angel's blood supply was identified before or after the kidnapping but if it was before as I lean more towards feeling, that definitely would have made Cordy skeptical. It screams W&H set up like her planted visions. __________________

Still on for tonight? I'll be on discord gaming, so I'll be easy to reach.

I loved when The Scoobies found CA cuddling. I'm trash for cuddles in fics lol. Quote:
I also imagine Angelus originally took on that moniker as a twisted mockery of his sister calling him one. I wonder when he started going by 'Angel' and dropped the 'us'. And why did he decide to drop the 'us' (if it was indeed him)? I can see it being him reclaiming it by taking on what Kathy called him. Kathy was his sister's name, right? My memory sucks. I should know this with all the CA fic I read lol. Quote:

I love that that's the line he focused on. Of course. Quote:
The idea of Skip or a Jasmine minion steering him in the right direction? It tracts. __________________
