oh my god. As manipulative and evil as he is (and hey...I like my men a little evil), he wants her to love Angelus not Angel. You gotta feel a bit sorry for him.

I also love the way you are highlighting the similarities in Angel and Angelus and also their differences.

It's slightly hard to believe he'd stop killing, but drinking nightly from a slayer over harming innocents sounds possible. He'll still need to get violence in though. It's part of his nature. Angelus can't be collared in quite the same way Spike can.
Thank you. It was a fine line to walk to make Angelus evil but plausbile, and as you say, just the slightest bit sympathetic. I like Angelus over Angel any day - at least he is honest. As to stopping killing - he'd probably be content with slaughtering other demons, just as Spike is, provided his other needs are being met.

I understand that the challenge was for B/A/S but I don't know how much more I can take. Trying to hang in with you here. Hate Angelus, but I can stand him more than this Slayer-whipped thing.
Just who's controlling whom? Please, stay with it. I appreciate all your reviews, and sorry to be so late responding.

Nice hot sexy angelus and Buffy - this is really freaking good so far and looking forward to more. I am normally not a Buffy/Angel fan but I am adoring this story and looking forward to seeing how you evolve it to a threesome!
Thanks - I really can't stand Buffy/Angel either. I think Angelus is a much more interesting character.

Nicely evil, A. Buffy should cut back on those stupid pills, though.
The real trick to being evil is to be able to give the impression of being good when it matters.

*bounces* spike spike spike spike :P
Okay, get to see him briefly here - still in the wheelchair in case you forgot the timeline. We'll see a lot more of him beginning next chapter. Thanks for sticking with it.

Will there be an end to the Bangel soon? WTF is up with Angelus acting nice? This Angelus is from another dimension.
Thanks for sticking with it through the icky Bangle parts. Yes, the Bangle is ending soon (sort of). And although Angelus has a few tender moments, I wouldn't exactly call him nice. He just has a different agenda, which should be obvious if you want to know - just read the challenge.
