Bahahahahaha! Boy, that's hilarious. To be honest, I haven't seen Angel seasons 3 or 4 that much, so I wouldn't really know. xD The only real rough-and-tumble Wesley I saw was season 5, and he was *very* off the nugget there. (Although I did see when he stole Connor and Angel's reaction to that--you know, Forgiving? OMG that hospital scene! I did NOT feel sorry for Wesley, he really, really deserved it. *pets poor Angel*)
OMG YESH ANOTHER DARLA LOVER! They are incredibly rare in fandom, I swear it! I dunno why, I mean she kicked total vamp butt, dude! I was even contemplating doing a Spike and Darla fic of their relationship through the years--I loathe the Darla-hating-Spike stereotype most of the time, and my brain wants to counteract that with my own character study. xD
