I'm writing the Angel/Nina essay for ship_manifesto (squee!) and I'm desperately in need of fic for them. Anybody written or seen any? It doesn't have to be the focus of the fic.

So far I've got A Day in the Life of Puppet Angel and a drabble from Buffyverse1000 which I've happily read approx. 10,000 times. anniesj, I know you wrote one for me at tigannie_con but I can't remember which thread and whether it was locked...

*plots meta stuff about Angel/Nina as Giles/Olivia and the potential for darkfic and why the not-even-close-to-soulmates-or-true-love relationships are so damn appealing*

Another example, actually the one I was thinking of when I was initially making the post: I love Angel/Cordelia. It was my first Angel 'ship and even though there were definite moments (episodes...) of trainwreck, I still think it had potential.

But kyerumption. Dear lord, kyerumption. Never have I facepalmed so much. It just seemed like so much of a short cut. "Hmm, they need to go from best friends to potential lovers. Let's see, this could happen organically from their characters and existing relationship or we could make up a word and have Fred and Lorne lecture them on how Meant to Be they are."

Again, my opinion, everyone else's minds may vary...
