Will you stop posting about Angel/Lindsey dammit, woman! Because I'm edging this close to tumbling head over heels for them. And it's all your fault. Just read your story and it's...ahem, well yes *fans self*. And now I've been checking out the excellent and affecting music-vids you recommended.

From there it's only a teeny tiny step to searching out all the fiction. Well, the good stuff, anyway. But Lindsey's a lawyer, blast it. And lawyers? So not Teh Sexy. Except that Lindsey (and Lilah) are.

But I don't have time for this right now. Work calls. Loudly. *shakes fist at elynross*

Hon, wait and talk to me when you've been playing the damn vid on infinite loop for two days straight

*laughs* I'm not that far gone. Yet. But I have watched it several times...

Besides, what's not to love?!?

Absolutely. I think the only reason I didn't fall before was because I don't tend to read much Angel or Buffy fanfiction so your story really hit me where it, er, hurts? So glad to read that you're planning a sequel.

And wants Angel. And hates him for it. And wants him anyway. And guh.

Oh yeah! I love those type of relationships. Mulder/Krycek. Chakotay/Paris (in the early seasons of ST:Voy) etc.

I've only just started looking around at other A/L (of which I don't find tons to start with), and I'm hesitant, because the Lindsey out there seems...a lot squooshier than I see him.

That doesn't surprise me. Krycek is often portrayed as being squooshy, as well. I think it's because we love our anti-heroes but don't want them to be really bad so we soften them a bit in our minds, and in fanfiction. I think that there are things the writer can pick up on in order to soften Lindsey if they want to but a harder-edged portrait is more true to canon. And I like canon.
