Aw, the zany days of Season 1! This was great fun. Loved the voices and the dynamic.

♥ Cordy ♥

Hee, thank you! ♥ CORDY IS OUR QUEEN. I am suddenly greatly nostalgic for her snarky amazing.

it’s not like I just made you be the Spice Girl who wears track pants all the time

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (she screams!) This is everything I love about the trio of Angel/Wesley/Cordelia and more. So much banter-y delight! So much fun! You nailed all my favorite parts of their character: wonderfully evil but still sweetly sarcastic Cordy; petty, super defensive Angel; geeky, suck-up Wes. NAILED THEM.

And this part:

“Hey! I used to put thought into my murdering and torture! Back when I, you know, did that. I’m not saying it was right. I’m just saying - there’s a certain level of artistry involved when you’re a vampire.”

“Like?”

“Like,” Angel mumbles, “occasionally I’d do some sketching beforehand.”

That is so perfectly perfect I can't even stand it. Angel would do some SKETCHING before the murdering and torture. Hahahahahahaha.

You are fantastic. You know this. You could write ANYTHING or ANYONE. You're golden, my friend!

Thanks for the hi-larious story, brosome! <3

GUESS WHAT, HE DID DO SKETCHING, THAT IS STRAIGHT UP CANON. When he killed Ms. Calendar, he drew a picture of her dead! IT WAS AWFUL! There were also roses and opera involved. It was like the first great fandom tragedy of my life, so I did not want to reference it too much lest I start sobbing or become overwhelmed with self-disgust for making light of One Of Joss's Greatest Tragedies, but still. True facts! He sketches!!

Er, anyway. THANK YOU FOR THIS GRAND PROMPT and for your glowing comment! And I am so freaking excited to read your new Community fic tomorrow, because it has the best title EVER.

See, the fact that Angel DOES DO THE SKETCHING (or Angelus, whatever, whatever) just makes the joke THAT much funnier. It's like the classic line of "she signaled me with her eyes" from The Girl in Question. DOUBLE LAYERS OF FUNNY. Which is why you are the best.

GOSH, I need to rewatch me some Angel, don't I? At least season five. Because -- because -- okay, fine, because I want to watch Angel and Spike bicker like old married dudes. I NEVER CLAIMED TO WANT ANYTHING MORE INTELLECTUAL THAN THAT FROM LIFE.

Win. So win.

[dollsome]

HEE, thank you!

[wondygal]

eeeeeee! Sweetest and funniest and most adorable EVER! Oh, the happy happy times of late season1/early season 2. What simpler, funny times.

[dollsome]

THANK YOU! :D Man, looking at the first season and then the last (particularly in regards to Wesley), it's like WHAT THE HELL. Joss, you cruel & magnificent bastard.

Ahhhhh this is so perfect! I basically want to quote everything to say how much I enjoyed it and laughed at stuff. I just really like seeing them being such awesome friends. Lovely.

[dollsome]

Thank you! :D This was a blast to write; those kids and their banter! Iiii might need to bust out my DVDs for some long-overdue rewatching.
