So not a fan of the bashing of any characters in fics. I think it happens in just about every faction of shipping though. One of those things where you take the good with the bad.
I am reading your other thoughts on C/A and the comments and I have to say, you might be surprised how many C/Aers agree with you. There are a few (and I hope they don't mind speaking for them), myself included, that were SO SO sick and tired of the artifical obstacles. It was like so many television writers are afraid of the Moonlighting curse, they can't put any leads together and let them be happy, to have conflicts come externally instead of internally. I've actually discussed this places before. C/A didn't have any organic internal type conflicts outside of Angel's soul. And to be honest, with how not sexually active Cordelia was, I don't think it would have been an issue for them to forgo sex. And knowing how tenacious Cordy was, she would have found a cure/loophole. I would have much rather seen them as a couple, fighting side by side ala Spuffy than all this angsty redux crap.
