30 Days Couples Meme-Day 9

I'm catching up, not spamming your flist. :)




Oh God, easy peasy. Cordelia/Angel. They evolved slowly, naturally, and believably.


From strangers who got along



to advesaries



to the beginnings of friendship



and flirting



along with some bumps



and sweet, sweet forgiveness





and sometimes when you almost lose someone, you realize they mean more to you than you ever thought possible




and theb you realize you're in love


and it feels so right





and you realize you're holding everything you ever wanted in your arms



and you never want to let go



~~

So what I'm trying to say is that Cordelia and Angel are in a unique position in the Buffyverse. They are the only pairing that had room to grow naturally over two series and seven years, and they're the only couple that was built on a foundation of friendship and mutual, genuine respect that never wavered.

I love them so much!!!!!

AHHH....the pretty GIFs showed their journey perfectly...

They are the best and most believable love story in Buffyverse because they get to go through every stage. Usually, we are just randomly told that a couple loves each other. *cough* Bangel *cough*..but these two... their journey is shown in seven long years.

Amen. I just love that their love story snuck into the narrative, and that it was allowed room to breathe and grow. Love them.
