Wasn't Darla also April 14, 1997?
Yeah, but not on Angel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Aha. Good point. I was outside time and space. And my head.

Doyle, Wes and Fred were the only ones that really hurt for me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wes hurt at the time but since it was the last ep, I never got to really feel that pain. There was a wound but no salt poured into it or anything.
Lilah was a character I missed more than I ever expected.
And I never realized how much I didn't like Fred until AA was playing Illyria . Which is heresy but means I didn't really mourn much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got sniffly over all of them. Except for Holland and Gavin. I didn't even like Fred much, but her dying broke my heart. I'm even sad over the last four deaths we didn't see, that I'm almost sure happened.
NO MORE DYING.

Did I miss a Darla death?

Art Crawl!!!
You know -- in the 1600s when the Master turned her. I know it isn't surprising -- but I bet it was in Sweeps.
(Well, yeah, cause it was the same night as FFL -- but the William to Spike death probably doesn't count either -- even though that was in sweeps too.)
Hey -- so the origin stories of major vampires happen in sweeps too and also involve a death.

Trust my rage
1) Her original death in the flashback
2) Drusilla sires Darla
3) Darla stakes self
4) Angel stakes Darla (on Buffy)

I was mostly thinking of the deaths that Joss gives us that make us think he's a sick bastard, and we're not healthy for loving them so. That's why, since we already knew that Angel and his brood had a death behind them, they didn't quite count as audience abuse.
Of course, not everyone stayed dead, but I was wondering about how often we were dealt that feeling of loss. Which flashback kinda obviates.

Trust my rage
Darla's first death was really just filling in the details, but it didn't have the gut-wrenching HSQ factor to it.
