It is so easy to go multilayered on these two, because despite Cordelia’s sharp tongue, frankness and sometimes brutal truth, she never carried her heart around on her sleeve for the whole world to see. It took always some time for her to truly open up to people and I adored that on her, once in her heart she would go to the end of the world for you and was fiercely loyal. And she made Angel a better person with her influence, not because she wanted him to change, but because she didn’t see a point in him suffer quietly and constantly brooding in the dark. It didn’t change one thing about his past to merge with the shadows, what he did on daily basis on the other hand mattered.

The people he saved, the lives he touched and the monsters he destroyed. Like you said these two knew each other and chose to be in each others life. The bond they shared was formed deliberate and strengthen with time and the trials they endured together. Every low, every high informed who they were. For me Buffy/Angel always seemed like the idea of two people falling in love with the idea of love and with no realization who they were truly falling for. Both were blind and never wanted to wake up from that dream and face real life together.

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and I’m so happy you loved this vid so much and that it brought back so many good memories.
