"I closed my eyes, because I did not want to see her go. And I did not open them again, because I did not want to see her gone. "
- "Gone" -Felicity
"Next to me, was my future. On stage, luscious and dangerous in leather pants, was the past I'd never been able to forget.
And, really, look at her : who could ever truly forget Buffy Summers? "
-"Climb"
He was leaning against the wall, regarding her through hooded lids, dressed all in black -- bottom half leather, top half silk.

"...Like Monopoly?" she asked hopefully.
As she expected, he ignored her quip.
-"Bittersweet Legacy II"

"Buffy looked up from her burger with an exasperated expression. "What are we doing?" she asked Angel pointedly.

"He didn't say anything at all. If we'd been any other two people in the universe, I would have thought that he didn't remember me, didn't recognize me, but...
You couldn't go through what we'd been through together, and then forget all about that person. It just wasn't possible."
-"Climb" I have this thing with "Climb" quotes, lol

"Sighing, Jenny tried to make him understand. "You're going to hurt her. You won't start out to do it intentionally, it's an unavoidable effect of being close to you. But that won't make it any easier on Buffy. You will destroy her."
"I won't let her go," he said, knowing he sounded like a petulant child.
"Then you are condemning her," Jenny said sadly. "
-Damage Chapter 10- Indie
"Wanna grope some fruit?" she asked him giddily.
"Come on. Look, I'll have the banana," she said, fumbling for one. "I'll let you have the grapes. Or even the pears. Pears are sexy." She looked at him smugly. "Not as sexy as my banana, though."
- "Living Space Vignette" The whole vignette is hilarious!
"What the hell?
Back away from my woman, man. I'm warning you. Three steps back, or
else--Hey! Hands off! Wh--I can't believe Buffy is letting him touch her like
that in a public place! There are children here! And on her back, too! Good,
that's it. Retract hand. Withdraw. Say buh-bye now. Cordy, you better not be
drooling. If you're drooling then you so deserve me going behind your back
with my plan. If you're--
Whoa, is that his car?
Hot damn."
-Master of Tactics: Misdirections That last phrase got me laughing hysterically! I could imagine Angel saying that...............in my head and it was hillarious.
A glint of sliver caught her eye, and she grabbed his hand. Angel’s Claddagh ring was on his ring finger. “You take that off!”
“But it’s so pretty.” He held it up and turned his hand so that the candlelight flashed off the ring. “Shiny. I like shiny.”
“You are - are - “
“Wonderful? Handsome?” Grinning, he laid his hand over his heart. “A stud in the sack?”
“Scum!” She bit out. Turning, she stomped out of the room. The mocking laugh made her ears hot.
-"The End of Days"- Maquis Leader
"What's this for?"
The tears standing in her eyes caused a sharp pull in his chest. This was supposed to make her feel better, not worse. Wildly looking from her face to the cup and back to her again he blurted out, “For coffee.”
His answer broke the tension she felt and Buffy burst into laughter, sliding the mug to a safe place, away from the edge. "
-Weathering the Storm"- Trammie
"Once, he would have cared. He would have felt the same way, would have been burning to touch me, to hold me.
Ironic, really, that now that he could, without danger, he no longer wanted to. "
-"Climb"
""What's that?" Xander asked the former watcher.
"Enough tranquilizer to put a small elephant to sleep,"Wesley replied.
"She's a slayer-vamp," Xander pointed out.
There was a pause, then: "I'll double it," Wesley agreed."
-"Bittersweet Legacy I"
"Angel looked dizzily at the tiny blond. He had no idea how she was still sober… unless he was just so amazingly drunk that she seemed sober when she wasn't REALLY sober…"
-Criminal
"With his hand wrapped tightly at the base of her neck Angelus growled into her ear “Shut the FUCK up Slayer! You still don’t get the point of this exercise, do you?”
Silence.
“Do you?” he spat.
Silence.
“Answer me!”
“I thought you told me to, quote, “Shut the FUCK up”, end quote” Buffy blandly answered. .
- "Wicked Seduction of a Vampire Slayer" How I love this fic......let me count the ways.....
""Buffy!" Cordelia screamed. "Where the hell have you been? You're supposed to be at home, healing!"
Buffy frowned and rubbed her head, trying to wake up from her very deep nap. "I am home. You called me, remember?"
"The spell didn't work!" Cordelia exclaimed hysterically.
The Slayer snapped awake. "Is Xander okay?"
"Screw Xander!" Queen C snapped. "He was in my car!"
Buffy frowned. "Why was Xander in your car?"
"Are you even listening to me?" Cordelia shrieked. "Willow's spell did not work. Angel was in my car!"
"Oh. Where's Willow?" she demanded.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you! Angel has Willow!"
"In your car?" Buffy asked trying to make sense of the brunette's hysterical ranting.
"No!"
"So, Angel has Willow?" Buffy queried. "They are not in your car. They were in your car, but they're not now. So where are you?""
-"When in Disgrace"
"...... to prevent those around me from looking at me with *that* expression, that look that told me they knew how unhappy I was, that expression which made me guilty that I wasn't happier, that I wasn't dealing as well as I should be."
-"Climb"
"She won't stay here forever, forsaking the life she's always wanted for herself, the life she's dreamed of since the day she was Called.
Someday, she's going to be done. And when she is, I will be, too. This time, for good.........................
...Now, the promise held a different meaning for him, one weighted down with unfulfilled longing, and the imagined answer he knew she would one day give him:
'I ain't gettin' any older
I am'"
-"Paved"- Vatrixta
"I'm sitting here with the freakin' most perfect couple in the world, and I'm desperately, mind-muddlingly, heart-wrenchingly, bone- crumblingly in love with one of them.
Excuse me while I die. "
-"Climb"
"“Nobody around here has a sense of humor.” He skipped up the first few steps leading upstairs before turning and catching her hand. “Let’s blow this joint and have some fun, Buff.”
“Let’s don’t and say we did.” She tried to tug her hand free, but he kept a firm grip on it."
-"End of Days"
"Lots of rooms,... must get a lot of lost souls."
"A few," she said as they walked down one of the
long hallways in the hotel.
-"BitterSweet Legacy I"
"The silence that followed was stark, heavy, harsh. I could hear his heart beat.
"Buffy....." He started, looking at his hands, "When I didn't come back...I don't want you to think- I mean, it wasn't because- I just thought-"
"Don't," I cut him off, rather harshly. I could feel a ball of pain surfacing in my stomach. "It doesn't matter. IT's in the past, and that past is...gone. It worked out better for everyone."
He nodded, slowly, and then got up, going into the kitchen to get some tea.
"Everyone who's not currently Buffy," I whispered to the empty room.
-Climb
"Angel sighed in barely contained exasperation. "What do you mean you don't know? Buffy, you are one of the girliest girls I have ever seen. You had every Barbie doll known to man. You change your clothes at least three times a day. You were a princess for Halloween. Every. Single. Year."
"So?" she pouted plaintively.
-"Damage"
"'I love you,' he allowed. 'I just hate myself for it.'
'But I'm evil now!' she declared, as though it made all the difference. 'I can understand hating yourself for loving the goody-two-shoes, stuck up former me, but this is Buffy version 2.0.'
A little frown marred her perfect brow. 'I'm all new and improved.'
-"Bittersweet Legacy"
"Peeling himself free from her embrace, Angel covered her back up before going into the bathroom. Splashing cold water on his face, he looked up at the mirror. “All things considered, I look pretty good.”
The smiley face he’d painted on the mirror smiled at him and didn’t answer. “Shut up.”
-The Ghosts of Vices Past" I loved this quote!
"'You know, that's two times now you've clutched that table,' she pointed out.
He gave her a condescending look. 'I assure you, it's not a sexual thing; the table doesn't have to die.'
-"Bittersweet Legacy"
"He leaned forward ever so slightly and I thought for sure he was going to kiss me, but that's only because I'm pathetic and sad and am going to die a virgin."
-"Culture Shock"
""Will, he's way more than cute. Tomorrow we're thinking about eloping in Vienna and having little Austrian babies."
"All in one day? Go SuperMom."
"We work fast," Buffy boasted. "
-"Living Space" SS
""I'm watching my son eat, not ogling your breasts."
"Yeah, well, I'll have you know my breasts are damn ogle-able," I mutter, still utterly frustrated."
-"Shadows of a Dream"
"Dating whom?" Giles asked absently as he checked the orders.
"Certainly not a customer," Buffy said innocently, suppressing a smile.
"Good. Nice to hear." He frowned. . "And Buffy? Please refrain from dating the customers."
-"Living Space"
"........He looked alive.
"I'll make you happy," he whispered.
"You do make me happy," I said.
"No. Not like I want to. I'm going to make you happy, Buffy,"
I knew what he meant. He meant us having a life. He meant a future. We both knew there would be some interesting problems with it, and we both knew none of them mattered. The only thing that mattered was us.
I fell asleep right there on his chest. But then I woke up and he was gone.
And now I'm crying again.
Where is he? "
-"Buffy's Diary"- Harpy Sigh
"Holy fuck," Buffy said suddenly, grasping Willow's wrist.
Willow looked at her, startled. "What?" then, "Don't swear."
-"Living Space"
"He had no idea that a few items would cause so much sadness and so he started to babble, "I'm sorry. I just thought you didn't have any money right now and maybe you'd want to take a shower and change. God, please don't cry. I'll take them back. We can pretend this never happened."
"No," she said, shaking her head and wiping an escaped tear away, "It's just that no one's ever done something like this for me before. It's so...sweet."
- "Puppy's Revenge"
"Buffy didn't hear most of what he said, too distracted by the thoughts bombarding her one after the other.
// He came to see me. What does he think he's *doing*? God, he looks good. How's my hair? I *love* his hair. Were his shoulders that broad last time? He wants me to move in with him! Go Buffy! //
-"Living Space"
"Buffy's heart had slowed slightly, and her blood whispered sleepily to him. Opening his eyes, he saw that she’d fallen asleep, her head lolling forward at what had to be an uncomfortable angle. 'Some bodyguard'
-"The Ghost of Vices Past"
"You're all glowy and smiley," her friend observed.
"It's probably all the steam from the coffees I've been making," Buffy reasoned.
"Steam makes you smiley?" Willow asked, quirking an eyebrow. She handed Buffy a bowl of strawberries.........
Buffy didn't respond, snapping down the lid of the blender more forcefully than necessary. Willow watched, both amused and concerned.
"Stop abusing the blender," she said, pulling it away from further harm. "He's a hottie."
"The blender?" Buffy smirked, concentrating on laying slices of tomato neatly on a foccacia.
-"Living Space"
"However you want to put it, guys," Angel said, chuckling, "I don't need one of you walking in on one of my naked visitors, so stay out. If the building is on fire and the choice is to go into my room or let me die, you'd better think about what you're going to wear to my funeral.
-"Abused" Chapter Two
"But,” he couldn’t resist adding, “they are full of empty calories.”
Buffy’s jaw dropped and her eyes flashed for a moment. “Are you saying I’m fat?” she asked in a dangerous whisper.
Angel gave her a long incredulous look, then suddenly laughed out loud"
-"Weathering the Storm"
"And now *you* might be living together. What about that?" Willow said pointedly.
Buffy shook her head. "That's different. They're practically married. They might as well be married." She struggled for words. "He's *married*!"
"Except for the whole no-wedding-no-ring thing," Willow said dryly. "Well, duh. Then of course, he's married."
"They've got little happy snaps of each other all over the place," Buffy said emphatically. "There's a naked drawing of Darla that Angel says isn't Darla but I bet it *is* Darla because, you know, why *wouldn't* you stick a naked drawing of your girlfriend on your living room wall?"
"Are you broken?" Willow asked worriedly, raising an eyebrow.
-"Living Space"
"Giles was not a failure!" she cried. "Giles understood this! He wasn't some -- some -- pointy-headed pencil-pusher who tried to run my life like, like, I don't know -- Dilbert's boss or something."
Frances sighed and said, to no one in particular, "Do you understand anything she's saying?"
"Yes," Angel said. The others all turned to look at him, and to Buffy's surprise, Angel actually smiled. "I understood every word. It's weird, the things you remember -- Dilbert was -- it was a cartoon, right, Buffy?"
Buffy felt the sob that had been welling in her throat suddenly turn into a short little laugh. "Yeah."
"Right!" Angel said. "Well, Dilbert was this little guy who worked in an office, and he had a necktie that went like this --" Angel made a swooshy motion with his hand in front of his chest, and Buffy laughed again. Nobody else at the table did. Angel dropped his hand and looked somewhat abashed.

-Damage Chapter 10- Indie
"Wanna grope some fruit?" she asked him giddily.
"Come on. Look, I'll have the banana," she said, fumbling for one. "I'll let you have the grapes. Or even the pears. Pears are sexy." She looked at him smugly. "Not as sexy as my banana, though."
- "Living Space Vignette" The whole vignette is hilarious!
"What the hell?
Back away from my woman, man. I'm warning you. Three steps back, or
else--Hey! Hands off! Wh--I can't believe Buffy is letting him touch her like
that in a public place! There are children here! And on her back, too! Good,
that's it. Retract hand. Withdraw. Say buh-bye now. Cordy, you better not be
drooling. If you're drooling then you so deserve me going behind your back
with my plan. If you're--
Whoa, is that his car?
Hot damn."
-Master of Tactics: Misdirections That last phrase got me laughing hysterically! I could imagine Angel saying that...............in my head and it was hillarious.
A glint of sliver caught her eye, and she grabbed his hand. Angel’s Claddagh ring was on his ring finger. “You take that off!”
“But it’s so pretty.” He held it up and turned his hand so that the candlelight flashed off the ring. “Shiny. I like shiny.”
“You are - are - “
“Wonderful? Handsome?” Grinning, he laid his hand over his heart. “A stud in the sack?”
“Scum!” She bit out. Turning, she stomped out of the room. The mocking laugh made her ears hot.
-"The End of Days"- Maquis Leader
"What's this for?"
The tears standing in her eyes caused a sharp pull in his chest. This was supposed to make her feel better, not worse. Wildly looking from her face to the cup and back to her again he blurted out, “For coffee.”
His answer broke the tension she felt and Buffy burst into laughter, sliding the mug to a safe place, away from the edge. "
-Weathering the Storm"- Trammie
"Once, he would have cared. He would have felt the same way, would have been burning to touch me, to hold me.
Ironic, really, that now that he could, without danger, he no longer wanted to. "
-"Climb"
""What's that?" Xander asked the former watcher.
"Enough tranquilizer to put a small elephant to sleep,"Wesley replied.
"She's a slayer-vamp," Xander pointed out.
There was a pause, then: "I'll double it," Wesley agreed."
-"Bittersweet Legacy I"
"Angel looked dizzily at the tiny blond. He had no idea how she was still sober… unless he was just so amazingly drunk that she seemed sober when she wasn't REALLY sober…"
-Criminal
"With his hand wrapped tightly at the base of her neck Angelus growled into her ear “Shut the FUCK up Slayer! You still don’t get the point of this exercise, do you?”
Silence.
“Do you?” he spat.
Silence.
“Answer me!”
“I thought you told me to, quote, “Shut the FUCK up”, end quote” Buffy blandly answered. .
- "Wicked Seduction of a Vampire Slayer" How I love this fic......let me count the ways.....
""Buffy!" Cordelia screamed. "Where the hell have you been? You're supposed to be at home, healing!"
Buffy frowned and rubbed her head, trying to wake up from her very deep nap. "I am home. You called me, remember?"
"The spell didn't work!" Cordelia exclaimed hysterically.
The Slayer snapped awake. "Is Xander okay?"
"Screw Xander!" Queen C snapped. "He was in my car!"
Buffy frowned. "Why was Xander in your car?"
"Are you even listening to me?" Cordelia shrieked. "Willow's spell did not work. Angel was in my car!"
"Oh. Where's Willow?" she demanded.
"That's what I've been trying to tell you! Angel has Willow!"
"In your car?" Buffy asked trying to make sense of the brunette's hysterical ranting.
"No!"
"So, Angel has Willow?" Buffy queried. "They are not in your car. They were in your car, but they're not now. So where are you?""
-"When in Disgrace"
"...... to prevent those around me from looking at me with *that* expression, that look that told me they knew how unhappy I was, that expression which made me guilty that I wasn't happier, that I wasn't dealing as well as I should be."
-"Climb"
"She won't stay here forever, forsaking the life she's always wanted for herself, the life she's dreamed of since the day she was Called.
Someday, she's going to be done. And when she is, I will be, too. This time, for good.........................
...Now, the promise held a different meaning for him, one weighted down with unfulfilled longing, and the imagined answer he knew she would one day give him:
'I ain't gettin' any older
I am'"
-"Paved"- Vatrixta
"I'm sitting here with the freakin' most perfect couple in the world, and I'm desperately, mind-muddlingly, heart-wrenchingly, bone- crumblingly in love with one of them.
Excuse me while I die. "
-"Climb"
"“Nobody around here has a sense of humor.” He skipped up the first few steps leading upstairs before turning and catching her hand. “Let’s blow this joint and have some fun, Buff.”
“Let’s don’t and say we did.” She tried to tug her hand free, but he kept a firm grip on it."
-"End of Days"
"Lots of rooms,... must get a lot of lost souls."
"A few," she said as they walked down one of the
long hallways in the hotel.
-"BitterSweet Legacy I"
"The silence that followed was stark, heavy, harsh. I could hear his heart beat.
"Buffy....." He started, looking at his hands, "When I didn't come back...I don't want you to think- I mean, it wasn't because- I just thought-"
"Don't," I cut him off, rather harshly. I could feel a ball of pain surfacing in my stomach. "It doesn't matter. IT's in the past, and that past is...gone. It worked out better for everyone."
He nodded, slowly, and then got up, going into the kitchen to get some tea.
"Everyone who's not currently Buffy," I whispered to the empty room.
-Climb
"Angel sighed in barely contained exasperation. "What do you mean you don't know? Buffy, you are one of the girliest girls I have ever seen. You had every Barbie doll known to man. You change your clothes at least three times a day. You were a princess for Halloween. Every. Single. Year."
"So?" she pouted plaintively.
-"Damage"
"'I love you,' he allowed. 'I just hate myself for it.'
'But I'm evil now!' she declared, as though it made all the difference. 'I can understand hating yourself for loving the goody-two-shoes, stuck up former me, but this is Buffy version 2.0.'
A little frown marred her perfect brow. 'I'm all new and improved.'
-"Bittersweet Legacy"
"Peeling himself free from her embrace, Angel covered her back up before going into the bathroom. Splashing cold water on his face, he looked up at the mirror. “All things considered, I look pretty good.”
The smiley face he’d painted on the mirror smiled at him and didn’t answer. “Shut up.”
-The Ghosts of Vices Past" I loved this quote!
"'You know, that's two times now you've clutched that table,' she pointed out.
He gave her a condescending look. 'I assure you, it's not a sexual thing; the table doesn't have to die.'
-"Bittersweet Legacy"
"He leaned forward ever so slightly and I thought for sure he was going to kiss me, but that's only because I'm pathetic and sad and am going to die a virgin."
-"Culture Shock"
""Will, he's way more than cute. Tomorrow we're thinking about eloping in Vienna and having little Austrian babies."
"All in one day? Go SuperMom."
"We work fast," Buffy boasted. "
-"Living Space" SS
""I'm watching my son eat, not ogling your breasts."
"Yeah, well, I'll have you know my breasts are damn ogle-able," I mutter, still utterly frustrated."
-"Shadows of a Dream"
"Dating whom?" Giles asked absently as he checked the orders.
"Certainly not a customer," Buffy said innocently, suppressing a smile.
"Good. Nice to hear." He frowned. . "And Buffy? Please refrain from dating the customers."
-"Living Space"
"........He looked alive.
"I'll make you happy," he whispered.
"You do make me happy," I said.
"No. Not like I want to. I'm going to make you happy, Buffy,"
I knew what he meant. He meant us having a life. He meant a future. We both knew there would be some interesting problems with it, and we both knew none of them mattered. The only thing that mattered was us.
I fell asleep right there on his chest. But then I woke up and he was gone.
And now I'm crying again.
Where is he? "
-"Buffy's Diary"- Harpy Sigh
"Holy fuck," Buffy said suddenly, grasping Willow's wrist.
Willow looked at her, startled. "What?" then, "Don't swear."
-"Living Space"
"He had no idea that a few items would cause so much sadness and so he started to babble, "I'm sorry. I just thought you didn't have any money right now and maybe you'd want to take a shower and change. God, please don't cry. I'll take them back. We can pretend this never happened."
"No," she said, shaking her head and wiping an escaped tear away, "It's just that no one's ever done something like this for me before. It's so...sweet."
- "Puppy's Revenge"
"Buffy didn't hear most of what he said, too distracted by the thoughts bombarding her one after the other.
// He came to see me. What does he think he's *doing*? God, he looks good. How's my hair? I *love* his hair. Were his shoulders that broad last time? He wants me to move in with him! Go Buffy! //
-"Living Space"
"Buffy's heart had slowed slightly, and her blood whispered sleepily to him. Opening his eyes, he saw that she’d fallen asleep, her head lolling forward at what had to be an uncomfortable angle. 'Some bodyguard'
-"The Ghost of Vices Past"
"You're all glowy and smiley," her friend observed.
"It's probably all the steam from the coffees I've been making," Buffy reasoned.
"Steam makes you smiley?" Willow asked, quirking an eyebrow. She handed Buffy a bowl of strawberries.........
Buffy didn't respond, snapping down the lid of the blender more forcefully than necessary. Willow watched, both amused and concerned.
"Stop abusing the blender," she said, pulling it away from further harm. "He's a hottie."
"The blender?" Buffy smirked, concentrating on laying slices of tomato neatly on a foccacia.
-"Living Space"
"However you want to put it, guys," Angel said, chuckling, "I don't need one of you walking in on one of my naked visitors, so stay out. If the building is on fire and the choice is to go into my room or let me die, you'd better think about what you're going to wear to my funeral.
-"Abused" Chapter Two
"But,” he couldn’t resist adding, “they are full of empty calories.”
Buffy’s jaw dropped and her eyes flashed for a moment. “Are you saying I’m fat?” she asked in a dangerous whisper.
Angel gave her a long incredulous look, then suddenly laughed out loud"
-"Weathering the Storm"
"And now *you* might be living together. What about that?" Willow said pointedly.
Buffy shook her head. "That's different. They're practically married. They might as well be married." She struggled for words. "He's *married*!"
"Except for the whole no-wedding-no-ring thing," Willow said dryly. "Well, duh. Then of course, he's married."
"They've got little happy snaps of each other all over the place," Buffy said emphatically. "There's a naked drawing of Darla that Angel says isn't Darla but I bet it *is* Darla because, you know, why *wouldn't* you stick a naked drawing of your girlfriend on your living room wall?"
"Are you broken?" Willow asked worriedly, raising an eyebrow.
-"Living Space"
"Giles was not a failure!" she cried. "Giles understood this! He wasn't some -- some -- pointy-headed pencil-pusher who tried to run my life like, like, I don't know -- Dilbert's boss or something."
Frances sighed and said, to no one in particular, "Do you understand anything she's saying?"
"Yes," Angel said. The others all turned to look at him, and to Buffy's surprise, Angel actually smiled. "I understood every word. It's weird, the things you remember -- Dilbert was -- it was a cartoon, right, Buffy?"
Buffy felt the sob that had been welling in her throat suddenly turn into a short little laugh. "Yeah."
"Right!" Angel said. "Well, Dilbert was this little guy who worked in an office, and he had a necktie that went like this --" Angel made a swooshy motion with his hand in front of his chest, and Buffy laughed again. Nobody else at the table did. Angel dropped his hand and looked somewhat abashed.
