Angel committed for them, though they all said, "Oh, OK." It could be an interesting legal debate. If they all got the standard contract, then the end of A:tS had interesting ramifications.

"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
Hmmm. I would assume that they'd need your legitimate signature in your own blood on a contract that clearly contained the fine print in order for Wolfram & Hart's retirement policy to be effective. Surely even Fred wouldn't have been crazy enough to sign a document promising her immortal soul. (Though if she were, psyche! on finding a loophole...)

I can't even.
Oh, god, he's dead. I'd managed to forget that...
I know. And with no one around to properly handle and catalogue the books, clearly we're going into another dark age. Andrew can probably bag and board an Outsiders #1, but he's got a lot of catching up to do.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know there's something else I should be doing, but instead I was surfing buffyguide to put air dates to character deaths. I'm trying to work out how many of Joss's startling kills fall during sweeps.

My definition of startling is obviously subjective, and Buffyguide's synopses end around spring of 2001.
Which ones am I missing? And sweeps -- November, February, May, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Angel in Becoming II. Harmony, Larry, and Snyder in Graduation Day. Principal Flutie. Anya. Jonathan.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Warren. Tara. Spike.
eta: Warren's girlfriend (can't remember her name, the human one). Also, the robot girlfriend? She kinda died. Buffy the second time.

Angel didn't die in Becoming II, but I guess I can stop being a pedant about that. Sure shocks the fuck out of you anyway.
We don't see Harmony die, right? So I don't think she counts.
I should also put episode titles in there. Can you give me titles?
eta:

But it wasn't surprising, was it?

We do see Harmony get bit. Don't know if that counts.

Trust my rage
I think we saw her get bitten, but it wasn't startling to me, at least. It was more background.
ETA: Posted before I saw Chikat's post. I didn't mean to sound snippy.
