I still can't believe out of everyone and everything that could have gotten rid of the loophole in Angel's curse, it was Illyria (strongly hinted at the very end of the season 12 comics). Just goes to show how the Powers That Be don't care about their champions, and are really kind of evil (though we already knew that). And they were probably keeping the loophole on purpose, thinking that if it wasn't there he and Buffy would just run off and be happy together instead of fighting for them, the bastards.

#buffy the vampire slayer #angel #bangel #buffy comics #buffy season 12 #buffy the vampire slayer comics #buffy the vampire slayer season 12 #but this has gotten me thinking 'could only someone in the series who was a god. or had god-like powers. get rid of the loophole then?'#and making me want to write some different aus now. like part of me is now wondering if maybe in the future dawn could have somehow gotten #rid of it. as she was the key connected to the goddess glory. and in the comics she stars figuring out how to use her powers and stuff #there are some ideas here for fanfiction #especially since usually in fanfiction that gets rid of it it's usually willow (maybe with tara helping her. sometimes buffy's blood being #involved)#which i GET. but the idea that it was illyria opens some other doors in fanon maybe #and how i wish more 'canon' things would explore it. and bangel in general again. looking at you boom #but you know the god thing kind of does make sense because there's also how buffy and angel have sex in s8 when they're both gods and that #doesn't trigger the curse. either because angel's technically not a vampire with a cursed soul there he's a god and/or they keep the curse #(probably he does) keep the curse being triggered with their powers or something #but back to the dawn thing: as silly as this no doubt is. there's a part of me that wants to write her just portaling the loophole away whe #she discovers her portal powers. lol. i don't think anyone's ever done anything like that before #but i bring this all up because i just read this one really well-written fic where illyria got rid of the loophole #which got me thinking about how she's the one to do so in canon #and then about the loophole in general
