#doylecordy

[oveliagirlhaditright]

Also, not Cordy totally saving the day during this one moment in the Angel novel "The Summoned," during this "The Three Stooges" like moment that Angel and Doyle have. LOL

This girl, Terri Miller unwittingly got involved in this murderous cult, and Doyle has befriended her and convinced her to tell him where the cult is meeting (which changes every week).

But for some reason, Angel thinks that Doyle can't handle this alone (even though this is essentially just a reconnaissance mission and nothing should go wrong--they're not planning to take anyone on in a fight or anything--as Doyle's just going to pretend he wants to join the cult), so he decides to follow Doyle and Terri (without telling them: he doesn't want to make Doyle think he doesn't believe in him) and just watch what he can see from his car.

Cordelia for some reason finds herself bothered by Angel's plan to follow Doyle--and then she herself decides to follow Angel, all the while berating herself for doing so and not just letting herself just have a quiet evening at home--but you know what? It's a good thing she did!

Because the cult people do not like Doyle at all and beat the crap out of him, and eventually throw him in an elevator. And Wolfram & Hart is there and they taze Angel and toss him in an elevator (the same one Doyle eventually is put in). So it's a good thing Cordelia was there to be able to find her guys and help them both limp back to headquarters. XD

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Thursday, October 22

ANYA: No, you see, usually, when there's an apocalypse, I skedaddle. But now I love you so much that instead I have inappropriately timed sex and try to think of ways to fight a god and worry *terribly* that something might happen to you, and also worry that something'll happen to me and then I have guilt that I'm not more worried about everyone else but I just don't have enough, I'm just on total overload and I honestly don't think that I could be more nervous than I am right now. XANDER: (offering her a diamond ring) Care to wager on that? Anya, you wanna marry me? (little pause, then she slaps him) Can I take that as a maybe?

JUST FINISHED WATCHING ANGEL.

NEED A "DOYLE" FIX-IT FIC STAT.

...

STAT.

I'DLOVEYOUFOREVER

Since Cordelia receiving Doyle's visions was actually the catalyst for every bad thing that later happened to her (A.K.A. the Jasmine arc), has anyone written an AU where Angel or the whole A.I. team go back in time and make sure she gives them to Groo, like it was prophesized she should have? (And the Jasmine stuff can't happen then, if Groo has them.) And then in obviously still needing to be able to know what these visions are, and what the Powers That Be are trying to tell them, they convince Groo to stay with them and to become a permanent part of Angel Investigations?

Or maybe a similar idea to all of this... but one where the author thought the visions weren't that important after all (which is definitely a stance one can take, because: Jasmine arc and The Powers That Be wanting the Twilight prophecy in the comics to happen. And how many people died there?), and then maybe had Angel or the team go so far back that Cordelia never got the visions from Doyle at all?

If the former fic exists, I imagine the author had Cordelia comforted that she is useful to the team without her visions? Because while she did take them on in "Birthday," largely in seeing the alternate universe where Angel had them drove him insane, and selflessly not wanting that for him, I do think there was a bit of Cordelia not wanting to be the "Zeppo" of her team, ironically, and that's part of the reason she thought she needed them.

I love in this one Angel the Series book I just read, how there was this demon who looked like the person one desired most to whoever saw him (when he gained enough power to be able to do that again: long story, that).

And Angel Investigations learned about this demon, and that he was targeting certain people and killing them, so they of course decide to use Cordelia as bait. And when they're scheduling this meeting, the demon asks Cordelia what her dream guy looks like (she then says a mix match of some celebrities), and lo and behold, the guy she met online just happens to look just like that! It must be destiny, and they have to meet!

So Angel, Cordy, and Doyle all go to the location, prepared to see the guy they saw in the webcam (Cordy is by herself waiting for her "date," while Angel and Doyle are waiting in the wings to jump in when they need to)...

Except that when the demon gets close to Cordy, he turns into who she actually desires: Doyle. And then Doyle ends up seeing two Cordys standing beside each other, essentially. And Angel sees Buffy, of course. LOL

Edit: This was the Angel book "Avatar." :)

#i thought they doylecordy stuff in particular was really cute #angel the series #buffy the vampire slayer #and i totally called that doyle was going to see two cordys. and right before it happened that cordy was probably going to see doyle #and that. obviously. angel was going to see buffy #part of me wasn't sure that cordy would see doyle because while they did end up being canon for their part of the story this is still prett #early on. and cordy was either oblivious or in denial for a lot of the doylecordy stuff #but then i was like 'nah. it'll be doyle. that just makes sense.' #and it did. and it--and all the doylecordy stuff here--was adorable. and cordy WAS so in denial about it. lol

Wait... but what if the Boom comics bring Dolye in and do more with him?

But I also feel like they might not do this for obvious, sad reasons, of Glenn Quinn no longer being with us.

But maybe they might if they’re still using Lorne (who’s actor, Andy Hallett, also passed away: may they both rest in peace). Though Lorne, of course, was in the show a lot more than Doyle was: once again getting into some sad reasons there, that I’m sure other Buffyverse fans know.

#angel boom comics #angel the series #buffy the vampire slayer #also since xander's dead. and bangel might start soon-ish(?). part of me is like 'they could do this and do doylecordy ship #but then i also feel like they might do a spikecordy ship perhaps? so maybe they won't do anything like this. lol #also i know that there are comics coming out where cordy and angel are going to be working together. maybe they'll even do cangel before #bangel despite some of the setup they're already doing for bangel. who knows?

ANGEL: I know you can't help me, but could you maybe not root for the other team? SPIKE: Hey, I'll root for anyone with half a chance of taking you down a notch. ANGEL: What is your problem? SPIKE: You are, ya ponce! You're my problem. You got it too good. You're king of a 30-floor castle with all the cars, comfort, power, and glory you could ever want; and here I save the world, throw myself onto the proverbial hand grenade for love, honor, and all the right reasons, and what do I get? Bloody well toasted and ghosted is what I get, isn't it? It's not fair. ANGEL: Fair?! You asked for a soul. I didn't! It almost killed me. I spent a hundred years trying to come to terms with infinite remorse. You spent 3 weeks moaning in a basement, and then you were fine! What's fair about that?!
