NOOOOO I REFUSE. I REFUUUUUSE. I honestly believe tthat "Angelus" is just a term Angel (and everybody else) uses as a coping mechanism. That reading is there, in the text, it's just that the characters are extraordinarily unreliable narrators. That said, I WANT YOUR PENT-UP BUFFY AGGRESSION. LET US RANT FOREVER. \o/ (lol, post-traumatic Joss syndrome, yes indeed.)
he hates sharing Stefan
*nod*
Totally agreed about Spike actually having experience with relationships (lol). It's interesting to me that Damon had every opportunity to build something real (e.g. Bree), but he consistently chose the path that would bring the most misery and isolation upon himself (i.e. holding on to the dream of Katherine). Damon is indentured in his self-destructiveness in a way Spike never really was.
Side note: do you ever find yourself thinking, hey, Damon and Stefan are older than Spike.
