Why this must be read:


I think that one of the characteristics of an outstanding story are the fact that four years later, even though you can't remember the author (or even the title in this case, boy was that fun to track down) it's still stayed with you. Te is a fantastic writer, I'm not sure that any one in the fandom needs to be told that and this little vignette is just so utterly, perfectly dangerous that it's stuck with me all this time.

Set vaguely in season two, Cordelia's on her period and Angel's... a vampire.

The last line kills me.


She'd said: "Angel, do we need to talk about the concept of personal space again? Because I'm thinking I should just type out the lecture and staple it to the wall."

And all he'd been able to do is drop to his knees. Lean in and inhale, broadly. Let her know, right there at her desk, daylight blazing outside.

And yes, Cordy, within your world this *is* sick, and wrong, but Angel needs it to keep from being Angelus. That's the story, and that's what they both stick to, for different reasons.

Oh, man. I was just thinking about this story the other day and wondering if I could remember the title/author info or otherwise find it again! *g* Thanks.
