(Loved the Darla/Connor, btw. Nicely done. Why yes, I have been making up for a tiny bit of my lost ficreading time today...)
Why, thank you kindly! It's just a wee bit of the squicksome, but I'm somewhat fond of it.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

The only thing I've found squicksome of late was Ms Yarkona's Teletubby story.
shudders.
Although I didn't actually read it, so that may be judgmental of me. But I had a visceral "notevenifit'sthefunnieststoryintheworld" response, and had an attack of temporary blindness.
....so, any liklihood of Angel/Connor? Or Angelus/Connor? Since I am on the Express train to Special Hell...

Funny you should mention that...
Umm. Yes, actually.

Ahem.
Whoops. I appear to have misplace my soul. Oh well, never mind, eh?

Up with the sun
I can't see Angel/Connor any more than I could see Dawn/Buffy, and I have almost the same reaction to Angelus/Connor. Maybe if the fic started with Angelus vamping Connor, but then it's almost like a Spike/Angelus story with even more of an edge of joy in transgression. But that's me, and I'll be interested seeing what Plei does with the idea.
I did like the Darla/Connor ficlet, but I think it worked for me because it started from the premise that Darla didn't know who he or she was, and it's from her viewpoint, plus it's so short that the visceral disgust doesn't have time to set in.
I have no special opinion on canon/noncanon relationships; I read for plot first, writing second, characters third.

Always Anti-fascist!
I think I agree with Plei.I think you would have to "make more from less".Um, not that my opinion counts very much.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Sometimes writers put people together because they think "he's cute! and (s)he's cute! Yeah, that'd be hot!" without really giving a damn about good characterisation. Which isn't a particularly good thing, imho. YMMV.
But I do that. I mean, not the characterization thing, but the ooh-pretty thing. That's how my Xander/Wes went, and then the Billy Tallent/Wes thing. Just an urge, and fic in response to that urge.
Hey, Plei, I'm lucid if you maybe wanna do some pinging.
