Fred: People might start to talk.
Gunn: Why would they?
Fred: Well, you know, us.
Gunn: 'Us' has been doing breakfast for weeks now. Everyone knows that.
Fred: I know, but now that we've kissed, things are different. I mean, they are, right?
Gunn: Oh yeah.
Fred: So you don't think they can tell?
Gunn: From here?
FRED: I'm being ridiculous, I know. It's just, I don't have a lot of
experience in this area. I spent the last five years in a cave.
Gunn: Yeah, I know what that's like.
Fred: How could you?

"Because now everything's so bright my eyes hurt."

After spending years in a hell dimension where humans
Are treated as slaves, Fred Burkle is nothing short of a
Survivor. Quirky and brilliant, Fred becomes a wonderful
Addition to the Angel Investigations team.

"She survived. Girl's strong."

https://image.ibb.co/fXSxOS/gunn_s2_...xauto_4873.jpg

Growing up on the streets is never easy, especially when
You’re fighting vampires. Gunn is tough and street smart.
His fighting skills and connections are crucial to the Angel
Investigations team, as is his much needed comedic relief.

"I'm forkin' with Gunn!"

https://image.ibb.co/jO9Yxn/tumblr_l...wk5lo1_500.jpg

"Maybe it's not so much magical but chemical when two people
are attracted. Maybe it's like the DNA knows what it needs and
when it finds it, nothing can get in its way. It just takes it."

Reasons:

Because Gunn knows that Fred is strong woman who has survived a lot.
Because she always made him smile, even when she was crazy.
Because Fred saved Gunn’s life before she even met him.
Because he thinks she’s gorgeous and that makes her blush.
Because he’d rather take a walk with her then fight monsters.
Because they go to breakfast together almost every morning.
Because she can guess what he’s wearing just from talking on the phone.
Because they know each other and understand each other.
Because she would never leave him behind, even if it was dangerous to go back.

https://image.ibb.co/dKyhq7/tumblr_l...lo1_r1_500.jpg

Gunn: Fred, why are you still here?
Fred: I got your back! Well, actually I got his back.

https://image.ibb.co/epzcOS/tumblr_l...wk5lo1_500.jpg

"I've been fighting vamps and demons since I was a kid. That sense of doing
good, of waking up in the morning and making the world safer - better ... I've
always had that ... But I never had a Fred before. If we have to, I choose you."

https://image.ibb.co/iTNWiS/hbkhj_o.gif

Future titles
Because they both survived the tough times that made them stronger.
Because he never had a 'Fred' before her.
Because if he had to choose the job he loves or her, he chooses her.
Because they got each other's back.
Because she knew something was wrong with him when he broke up with her.
Because he killed a guy to save her from herself.
"And all I ask - is one last kiss - as the light is dimming."
Because there's something about Gunn, that makes Fred melt.
Because according to Fred, best boyfriend ever. Breakfast in bed.
"I miss you. Can't we just go back before any of this? I just want to go back."
"Ah, come on. You know you're gorgeous."
Because she couldn't imagine what would've happened if she lost him.

:lmao: Perfect. Gosh, what an underrated couple.

Great pairing at the wrong time.:(
Meaning they would have been more accepting and popular now... way more popular.

I agree, it seems like I have a habit of picking those couples :lol:

A small moment :lol:

^ I guess we just have better shipping patterns. lol

That must be it :nod:

She's happy that he had her back there :D

^ Yes.:lmao: Hilarious reaction.

It's like she was trying to be street :lol:

I did say I was going to post an Illyria/Gunn moment from the comics for you!
Check this out.

I know Illyria isn't Fred but she had Fred memories by the end of season 5 continuing on to the comics and it just was so perfect to see Vampire!Gunn without a soul breaking down to her....
Illyria even mentioned she feel this need to protect him because of Fred.:cry:

It was nice to see the comics actually remember they had a romance... since season 5 of ATS and the end of season 4 of ATS was ridiculous with Fred/Gunn's history....

In the photo, Illyria tells Gunn she can find a way to restore time to fix what happened to him! She really doesn't like him hurting, and Gunn doesn't believe she can help him since he's about lost gone and saw that Illyria was a mess as well.:rotfl:

I'm happy to hear that they kinda acknowledged Gunn/Fred through Illyria too. I think that if there is still a part of Fred in her, then of course Gunn would have to mean a lot to her :nod:

& I bet Gunn still thinks about Fred all the time when he's around Illyira, how could he not? :sigh:

^ Yup it's very strongly acknowledge! She was referred to as his "guardian" for a comic series because she was watching over him to make sure nothing bad happened to him. :bawl:

The love Fred has for Gunn is strong on Illyria. lol

So I think personally you would have loved this Gunn as a vampire storyline for that! we even got a little glimpse of a Fred/Gunn scene and it explains why being around Illyria just feels right for Gunn since she does have some Fred still in her because of the memories.:)

I felt they really cared about writing a good Gunn arc and if you are a Fred/Gunn fan, it made up for them being forgotten about in season 5 and a bit disrespected at the end of season 4.

Nice to finally hear that someone cared about giving Gunn a good storyline!

That panel is really sweet, & so rare to see them together like that! She's still the love of his life :bawl:

& it's so sweet to hear that she's his guardian :melt:

Yes she is clearly the love of his life which is why Gunn feels this comfort around Illyira over everyone else.
He was even trying to force her back into Fred at one point since Illyria can switch between them to.

I think before Gunn said he missed her and she wondered if he was talking about her or Fred... it was a mixture of them both. ;)
