They may fight with each other, but if there's an outside threat, they've got each other's backs.
Except that time she ditched him in the barn for the vampire hunters.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I always thought of Angelus and Darla's relationship as "I love you more than I love anyone except me." So she'll conk him on the head to save herself, but go back and rescue him - as soon as she knows she herself will be safe. He'd do the same. They were perfectly suited for each other.

That was the conking on the head I was talking about. What Zenkitty said, really: if it's a choice between herself and Angel, she'll save herself. Just as Angel was willing to narc her out in "Heartthrob." And faux-Spike saw that as evidence that they didn't love each other, but their reaction when he was trying to goad them seemed more like, "Ah, yes. You betrayed me. I respect that. Good times."

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
It seems that Angel and Darla incorporated their evilness into all aspects of their lives, even their love for one another. Whereas the more floridly romantic couples like Spike & Drusilla and Elizabeth & James conducted their love affairs in a traditional sweet manner while reserving their evil behavior for everyone outside.
I think it's telling that once Darla was out of the pictur, Angel started applying that same sensibility to his gestures toward Drusilla, and she seemed to respond much more favorably to that than to Spike's schmoopier demonstrations of love.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I never wanted Angel and Buffy to be together as much as watching I Will Remember You
Oh, the heartache. Ohohohoh. I love that ep so much, just for the last two minutes.

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

I sobbed long and hard on that line. I think it may be my favorite non-comedic line.
