Your fav 5 fanfic cangel?
There is a lot of CA fic out there, it's just spread out across multiple different archives (which can admittedly make it hard to find). A03 wasn't what it is now back when the majority of CA fic was being written, so they weren't posted there.
Some CA fanfic archives:

Angel's Oasis
Go Team CA
Darkness and Daylight
Re: my top 5 favorite fics. Aaah, that's a really hard question. There are some really talented CA writers. I'm not sure I can choose, so I think I'm gonna go with the five I've probably read the most.

24/7 by Dock
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Cordelia and Angel must pretend to be married 24/7.
Radiance is one of my favorites too! But I’ll pick another one for my top five. The category here is “fics I think most about most often” and yes two are by the same author because their work is amazing.

Queen of the Night by Starlet2367

also this one gets an honorable mention because while it’s not heavy CA, it’s really good and I highly recommend it:
two roads diverged (and that has made all the difference) by RoseyPoseyPie
Rating: T
Summary: Thanks to some research done by Anya, the escape in Spiral is to a different dimension, where hopefully they should be safe from Glory’s all-powerful grasp until the window for the apocalypse passes. But trying to get home will be another matter altogether, in a world where humans are slaves, vampires undergo peculiar transformations, and Cordelia Chase is the messiah. Reuniting with old friends doesn’t guarantee things will get any easier, especially if their enemies also team up to maintain the status quo. What does it mean to be The Key? How many regimes will Buffy overthrow? Is there no place like home?

I can never get enough of !jealous! Benedict because he's usually so self assured. Could you write about that?
Anon, I don't know who you are, but it's your fault that the Lady Mary Penwood series is going in the direction it is going in. I hope you enjoy! <3
He calls on Sophie for a week straight.
They spend time together. He even takes her to Rotten Row to promenade.
Benedict thinks maybe he can do this. Maybe he can prove his mother wrong.
He does not run from that which he loves.
Except that he absolutely does, and he can feel it in his bones that Sophie will absolutely be one of those things.
The idea that he loves her hits him on the way into Lady Mary's drawing room, just before he hears a number of voices both familiar and not.
When he steps inside, Mary and Sophie are there like usual, but they are not alone.
Anthony, Kate, Edwina, Prince Friedrich, and a man Benedict doesn't recognize are there as well.
The man, Benedict notes, is intensely handsome. Tall and blond. His smile wide and very, very easy.
“Brother!” Anthony cries happily, rushing up to hug him. “What are you doing here?”
Benedict gives a startled laugh. “Me? You were in India last I heard.”
“They stopped to spend time with us in Prussia before coming home,” Edwina beams. “And we decided to come along.”
“How…how nice,” Benedict smiles, patting Anthony's arm. “I uh…I came to call on Sophie…”
“Did you?” The man he doesn't recognize comments, looking to the woman in question.
Sophie pops to her feet, pursing her lips. “Uhm…Mr. Bridgerton, may I present Baron Leopold Von Schrader. Baron, this is Mr. Benedict Bridgerton. The Viscount's brother.”
“And the man who is courting my sister,” Kate adds, giving the Baron an unimpressed look.
“Is he?” The Baron asks Sophie.
Sophie nods. “Yes.”
The Baron grins a little. “I see. I am quite surprised that your only option here in England is a second son, considering how clever and lovely you are.”
The entire room looks a little offended, but Sophie gets there first.
“I am certain my options would be quite numerous were I interested, Lord Von Schrader. But my attention is definitively occupied. Thank you.” She huffs out a breath and storms towards the door. “Excuse me.”
Kate and Edwina both stand and follow her quickly, Kate giving Benedict a look to clearly stay put.
He looks back at the Baron and lifts an eyebrow with a smirk. “Obviously that jab did not go quite as you planned it.”
“Yes. Well. I am here to win Miss Gun's heart,” the Baron shrugs. “Clearly it will be a more difficult task than I previously thought.”
Anthony rolls his eyes a little and leans in. “He offered a courtship back in Prussia and Sophie turned him down. The Prince convinced him to give it another go.”
Benedict nods slowly as he watches Lady Mary awkwardly make conversation.
*****
Kate and Edwina follow Sophie as he paces around the room.
“I tried to tell Friedrich that bringing Leopold was not a good idea, but they were both determined that he should try again,” Edwina explains. “Forgive me, sister, I should have tried harder to dissuade them.”
“And I should have thrown that baron off the boat,” Kate adds.
Sophie huffs out a breath. “He is going to run.”
“Sophie-”
“I did not tell Benedict about the Baron because there was nothing to tell,” Sophie babbles. “He kissed me, I felt awful, I turned him down. That should have been the end of it. And now they are both here, except not for long because Benedict will take the excuse to end things and then I will be stuck with the Baron!”
“Breathe, sister,” Kate soothes.
“Benedict would not give up so easily,” Edwina tells her.
Sophie turns to look at them, still upset. “He will run.”
“He will not run,” Kate assures her. “If I have to order Anthony to sit on his brother to keep him from running, I will, but he will not run. I forbid him to run.”
Edwina takes Sophie's arms gently. “I do not like this attitude, sister. If Benedict is looking for an excuse to end things, he will find one one way or another. And he should be the one fighting for your affections. Not you for his. Clearly, you are not making him work hard enough for your favor. Having another interested suitor may be just the thing to wake him up.”
Sophie opens her mouth to argue, but Edwina cuts her off.
“You are sweet and lovely,” Edwina says. “And deserving of more than a man with one foot out the door.”
Kate nods. “Edwina is right. If Benedict is keen to run, then he does not appreciate you enough, and that is his failing. Not yours.” She rubs Sophie's shoulders gently. “Take a deep breath and calm your nerves.”
“And walk back into that drawing room, and know that you are worth being admired and fought over,” Edwina adds. “You are not the one who must work for their favor.”
*****
The Baron is handsome, and it’s clear to Benedict that the man uses his looks and wealth to get his way most of the time. He’s clearly not used to losing, and doesn’t expect to. Certainly not to Benedict.
And the truth is that if Sophie were not always on his mind, he would be sitting here in Lady Mary’s drawing room trying to flirt with the man himself. It isn’t as if he can blame Sophie for attracting such a man as the Baron. They made no promises, and Sophie is so beautiful, she was bound to gain some attention while they were apart.
But she never mentioned.
She would have mentioned, if something serious had been offered, would she not?
Suddenly, he wonders why Sophie is so set on Benedict himself when the Baron seems to intent on her to cross the ocean to try his luck again.
“You are staring,” Anthony mutters.
“Hm?” Benedict asks, blinking rapidly.
“At the Baron,” Anthony clarifies. “You are staring. Stop.”
“I-”
“The man is not so singular,” Anthony tells him quietly. “He was mostly insufferable the entire way here. So much so that Kate wanted to murder him in his sleep.”
“She feels that way about a lot of people,” Benedict points out.
“Even so,” Anthony insists. “You clearly have Sophie’s affections far more than he.”
Benedict shrugs. “I do not see why she would want me when she has a Prussian baron crossing oceans to win her favor.”
Anthony rolls his eyes. “Do not question it, just be grateful.”
Benedict frowns at him. “Was it not you who wanted me to end things with Sophie back when you were courting Edwina?”
Anthony looks sheepishly guilty. “I was trying to cut any and all ties that would mean seeing Kate again. I was being a fool, and I am sorry for that.”
Benedict looks at him in surprise. “An admission of wrong-doing brother?”
“Shut up and take the apology,” Anthony orders.
Benedict chuckles a little, before getting to his feet with the other men in the room as the three sisters step back into the room.
They sit on a couch together, the three of them with Sophie between Kate and Edwina.
“A united front,” Anthony mutters to Benedict.
“It has come to our attention that Mr. Bridgerton and the Baron have been playing some rather unimpressive games with our sister,” Kate declares. “Mr. Bridgerton, you have been making Sophie work quite hard for your affection, when it should be the other way around.”
Benedict opens his mouth to protest, but he doesn’t get the chance.
Edwina raises a hand. “And Baron Von Schrader, you have come here after Sophie turned you down, even though you were given an answer previously that you have disregarded because you are not fond of the word ‘no.’”
“From here on,” Kate goes on. “You two will have to actually put effort into your courtships. Our sister deserves the very best. Prove yourselves.”
Benedict blinks, staring at Sophie, who will not meet his eyes.
“Easy,” the Baron grins. “Miss Gun, may I-”
“Not today,” Edwina cuts him off. “Today, we will spend time as a family. And you two will go away.”
“What say you, Sophie?” Benedict asks softly.
She takes a breath and lets it out. “I say…I have not spent time with both of my sisters in quite some time. And I should like to. So I will see you both another day.”
He nods. “Fair enough.” He gets to his feet and steps over to her, reaching for her hand, squeezing it gently. “May I call tomorrow?”
The Baron looks offended. “I wanted to-”
“Yes,” Sophie confirms. “I shall see you tomorrow.”
“Then I will call the next day,” the Baron snaps.
“There is no reason to get upset, Baron,” Kate tells him, as if he is a small child she has to soothe. “Mr. Bridgerton just acted more quickly.”
Anthony gets to his feet. “I shall see my brother home. I need to see to things anyways. Benedict?”
Benedict nods and kisses the back of Sophie’s hand before stepping away.
She reaches for his hand again before he can go, squeezing it gently, and he turns back to her. He grins at her a little and then lets go and heads towards his brother.
“Come, Leopold,” Friedrich says nervously, finally speaking up in all of this. “We should away to the palace. My aunt the Queen will surely want to see us.”
The Baron nods and gets to his feet. “Fine. Fine, then.” He storms to the door without looking back at Sophie, and knocks into Benedict on the way out.
“Oh,” Benedict grins a little at Anthony. “He is going to be fun.”
Anthony chuckles and leans over, kissing Kate’s cheek. “We shall see you at home, Viscountess.”
every time someone says bridgerton season 4 had no “real” stakes i wonder if they actually watched it in full at least 💀 just because a happy ending is guaranteed (which is the case in the book because it’s a romance novel and it’s genre convention) doesn’t mean there aren’t any
I'm so confused by ppl who claim to ship both chair and dair bc they're such polar opposites in terms of... well everything. how can you want blair with both the love of her life, the man she goes back to time and time again bc she'll always want him over anyone else, the man who's clearly her soulmate and who she has the strongest romantic connection with, but then turn around and also want her with a man she canonically never loved, a man who she always looked down on and belittled even while they were dating, and who she acted more like a sibling or girl friend with during the period of time before they started dating and obviously didn't see him as he saw her. I don't think u can honestly claim to love her as a character when u ignore the majority of her canon characterisation in order to make a brief relationship into something it never was to her. dan told her he couldn't be friends with her, so if she still wanted him (one of her only and closest friends at that point) in her life then they had to date. she never actively wanted him bc she felt something, it was the fact that he loved her that made her consider dating him. dan even admits that he knows blair doesn't love him, yet he continues to date her instead of break up with her and tells her he loves her to try to make her say it back. but she doesn't. bc she never loved him.
also no more of this "if u ship chair u don't love blair" stupidity either bc again how is shipping her with the love of her life worse than shipping her with a man she doesn't want to be with?? idc if u don't like chuck, but to do all of this mental gymnastics and mischaracterisation to prove that she actually definitely would've been happy in a long term relationship with dan and was somehow manipulated by chuck to go back to him (while he was just trying to move on with his life with or without her bc all he ever wanted was for her to be happy with or without him) when blair literally states that she would rather be with no-one than with dan is just... too much. like she wanted chuck, she got chuck, she'll always have chuck, she never wanted dan long term and that's it. u can't genuinely ship both imo bc they're the opposite of each other, and the opposite of what and who blair wants and if u really love her as a character u would see that
It's literally crazy the fact he can feel her, even when he don't see her. It's partly why I believe in his theory about El survived. Yes, he could be in deep denial. But the fact he always canonically feel her during the entire show give me hope. And with that fact in mind, the idea of the Duffer brothers about El & Mike never see each other again if she is alive is bullshit. Because it is precisely partly due to this ability that they have always found their way back to each other. They are like a single being split in two.
And my heart breaks for every single version of me that didn’t end up with you. | insp
The military will always be looking for you. We’ve always known that. Which is why we aren’t staying in Hawkins. When this is over, we’re leaving. Escaping to some far off land. Remember? Somewhere where they can’t find us. Somewhere where there’s at least one waterfall.
MIKE WHEELER ♥ EL HOPPER
STRANGER THINGS (2016 – 2025)
I'm so pissed off at the way the Duffers are talking about Jane's ending like she wasn't her own person and instead just a magical being from childhood that the rest of the party needs to get over.
from their interviews it seems like they do realize they wrote an arc about el deciding her childhood trauma makes it so that she can’t live a normal life which leads to her committing suicide..but somehow this is supposed to be a touching and nostalgic story about childhood innocence and not the most depressing thing ever?
