Like Father, Like Son

[shapinglight]

The 1st of June today, so I've once again turned over the page in my sueworld2003 fanart calendar. Could only manage a drabble this time, which is a pity, because June is Angelus month. Bet you didn't know that, did you? In fact, we should probably divide the months of the year between the show characters - so January could be Buffy month etc, etc.

Or perhaps not.

Like Father, Like Son

Setting: AtS season 4, though chunky AtS season 4 Angelus has mysteriously morphed into slim, BtVS season 2 Angelus. Odd, that.
Rating: G
Pairing: Angelus, Connor
Fanart: sueworld2003. Unfortunately, the only version of this picture I could find on my HD was one I used for Age of Unreason, but never mind.





Just look at him.

Quite a picture, isn't he? Murder in his face. He'd like to kill – how about everyone, starting with me? And his scent – oh, delicious! Pain and rage -a dash of teenage hormones adding fuel to the flame. He's primed and ready to go off like an atom bomb. And he's cute, in a psychotic sort of way.

I tell, you, it makes a father's heart proud.

You've gotta hand it to that Holtz guy. All his hard work has really paid off. When it comes to raising kids, I couldn't have done a better job myself.

Oooh, I like this, and it echoes my own take on him perfectly!

[shapinglight]

Good to know. :)

[sentine.livejournal.com]

So perfectly Angelus... :)

[shapinglight]

Thank you.

[lokifan]

So darkly funny! Loved it

[shapinglight]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

Very dark and such a twisted version of fatherly pride. Angelus in all his glory. Shudders!

[shapinglight]

Glad you liked it, love, and Connor is definitely a chip off the old block.

[acacia5.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was so chilling, and so very much Angelus. Excellent drabble for Sue's exquisite artwork.

[shapinglight]

Thank you. Angelus is fun to write, and you could always see that DB had a ball playing evil.

[hello-spikey.livejournal.com]

mmm darkalicious! :D

[shapinglight]

He's lovely, isn't he? In a sick, soulless way of course.

[rahirah]

He's such a devoted dad. *g*

[shapinglight]

Yes, bless him. He's a model to dads everywhere.

[mrs-underhill.livejournal.com]

Ooh. I never thought about how Angelus would think of Connor. Perfect take! And Holtz dig in the end is great.

[shapinglight]

Perfect take!

Thank you. I'm sure Angelus was utterly thrilled with Connor. Something else to twist and destroy. :shudder:

cute, in a psychotic sort of way.

Oh yes. You've got the family vibe perfectly - and Angelus has no trouble with incest, I suspect...

Beautifully ick.

[shapinglight]

and Angelus has no trouble with incest, I suspect...

Oh, I'm sure not. In fact, if he thought there was any danger of him getting his soul back, he would make a point of it.

Think what Angel's reaction would be! He would brood for a couple of centuries minimum.

Perfect. Connor does take after dear old dad, doesn't he?

[shapinglight]

Connor does take after dear old dad, doesn't he?

Oh yes. There's a definitely family resemblance.

[ash-carpenter.livejournal.com]

Oh, great Angelus voice. That nice mixture of gleeful and chilling.

And hey, don't blame you for the slim!Angelus morph ;-)

[shapinglight]

And hey, don't blame you for the slim!Angelus morph ;-)

No, he's too pretty for words. Bet he was really miffed in AtS season 4 to find the leather pants of evil were too tight.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

Oh, very nasty. You've nailed it.

[shapinglight]

Thank you. :)

Thus answering the question 'could there be anything worse than being raised by Holtz in Quartoth?' with a resounding 'hell, yes'. Never thought of that angle before - shuddery!

[shapinglight]

Thus answering the question 'could there be anything worse than being raised by Holtz in Quartoth?'

Yep. In fact, the only thing I can think of that would be worse for Connor would be being raised by Angelus and Darla as a couple. :shudder:

[mistletoe54.livejournal.com]

There's no doubt Angelus found Connor ripe for the plucking. Oh you nailed him good. I too have opted for the younger ickier Angelus.

[shapinglight]

I too have opted for the younger ickier Angelus.

Yes, he's a lot more menacing, isn't he? Plus, at least he got to kill someone.

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

What a lovely Angelus voice - at his most smug. Very nice.

[shapinglight]

Thanks, Maz. Glad you liked.

[sarian71]

And the award of 'Dysfunctional Father of the Year' goes to...

I feel a cold chill down my spine! ::shudders::

[shapinglight]

Heh! Yes, it's a good thing Angelus never really got his hands on Connnor.

[kidcyclone.livejournal.com]

I love your Angelus voice, and 'cute in a psychotic sort of way' is a great description! And because I'm a great big sicko, I'd have loved to have seen Angelus/Darla raise Connor... ;>

[shapinglight]

Oh me too! The closest I ever got with that was him being raised by Spike and Darla in Family Reunion.

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for reading.
