Why this must be read:
I'm a total sucker for good Angel/Lindsey, and this one balances between a romance with an ominous soundtrack and a completely unromantic, D/s dynamic that I can totally believe in. I like the appearance of Buffy, the way Cordy, Wes, and Gunn feel like themselves, and how twisty Lindsey is in his need to survive. This Angel is my favorite Angel, a bit of a bastard and still a bit of a woobie because of the curse.

I really enjoyed this rec. Never really considered Angel/Lindsey before, but this was really well done. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed the rec and the pairing. Angel/Lindsey tends to feature antagonistic sex, but that's got its own appeal when we are talking Angel, who should not be having schmoopy/happy sex if he's cursed and it takes place during canon years, when unhappy-making things are happening in his undead life.

antagonistic!sex features heavily in Spike/Angel, so I'm definitely no stranger to it. That must be why I enjoyed this rec so much...
