I think Illyria loved Wesley with a selfless love.
I think Illyria loved Wesley with a baby duckling love.
No, seriously. He was her guide. He made the world make sense to her. She imprinted on him, she loved him, she followed him -- in an infantile way. I don't mean this as an insult. I mean, literally, that she depended on him as much as an infant depends on its mother, although her needs were emotional, psychological, and philosophical, rather than emotional and physical.
Ha, X-post.
I mean, by those lights, Connor should have boffed him, not Cordy.
Now I'm just trying to figure out why, of all pairings, Connor/Wes is setting off my squickometer.
[eta: And word to the baby duck comparison. Illyria needed Wes, but I don't know if she was emotionally mature enough to feel what I'd call love.]

Heh.
I tried to write it, and it made mine go pingpingping.
And everyone KNOWS mine's broken.
You people are sick. It makes perfect sense.
I think that the point of making Angel sign the agreement is his willingness to do so -- I don't know that he has any actual power to refuse a shanshu if it's not actually being offered to him at the time.
I'll be in the corner with Dana. Or, you know, in my bunk.
I'll be in the normal freak other corner with Plei.
Angel issues. Daddy issues. Betrayal and the face of failure and a love-starved kid being the focus of all of Wesley's scary need.
I'm just sayin'.
Oh, I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I'm just saying the thought of it makes me want to think other thoughts instead.
