Somehow I have managed to become totally re-obsessed with Spuffy and Cangel. I was going to start a separate sideblog devoted to those ships and shows but am of course too lazy, so I'm throwing them in here!
The few but truly appreciated and beloved mutuals who already follow me for Friends, That 70s Show etc - please just block the Spuffy, Cangel, btvs and/or ats tags if you don't want to see those posts!
Spuffy and/or Cangel lovers who I don't already follow - I'd really love to find anyone else who still loves these ships and will follow back right away!

You're Welcome aired for ATS season 5, episode 12. This was the last appearance of Cordelia. Cordelia returns temporarily, and she and Angel kiss. This is their first real kiss, a kiss not in a dream or caused by a spell / possession. Cordelia leaves after the kiss, and becomes a higher power.
Cordelia Chase is played by Charisma Carpenter. Cordelia was in over 140 episodes of the Buffyverse. Charisma played Cordelia in BTVS S1, S2, S3, and ATS S1, S2, S3, and S4. This was her only appearance in ATS S5.

(mod note: there was conflicting information about exactly how many episodes Cordelia was in, and i'm too tired to count it all up)

My Angel (The Series) Rewatch
I'll start by saying this:
This is the first time I have seen these episodes since they originally aired.
I rewatched all of seasons 1-3. Because season 4 is….season 4, I rewatched 4x1 - 4x6, 4x10, 4x17, & 4x22. I’m skipping season 5 except "You're Welcome". I read the gist of season 5 for my memory and I remember snippets of it when it aired.
Angel & Cordelia were my OTP back then & that remains (probably even more so now that I have finished the rewatch and I am an adult now lol)
NOW (This may be lengthy, but I have alot to say)
We all know now (as much as we can know as outsiders) what really went down between Charisma & Joss. I think David Greenwalt's departure didn't help things. Lots to be said about the season 4 storyline for Cordelia (& Angel) vs its original rumored intent. LOTS. But that's neither here nor there. I'd like to shine a light on the following from what was actually aired.
Seasons 1-3 built up an incredible story for Angel & Cordelia that turned from acquaintances/semi-friends (on BTVS) to coworkers to friends to falling in love with each other.
Angel identifies Cordelia as his home. Almost the second he returned in 4x01, he told Connor "What you deserve rests on one answer. Did you do something to Cordelia?" This man, who holds his son above everyone. He tells Fred & Gunn he kept telling himself "I gotta get home to Cordelia."
He returns and he does everything to find her. In "Awakening", he dreams of being with her, together, and being okay with Connor and you realize that, underneath the terrible circumstances of season 4, there is a theme here. Home, for Angel, is with Cordelia & Connor.
He was a second too late in killing "Evil Cordelia" before she could give birth. And I wonder if that's something he really would have been able to do. Because he didn't do it, did he?
In 4x22, Wolfram & Hart offer the deal. He's not buying it. Lilah mentions the first assignment would be visiting Sunnydale and providing the amulet. He says "Buffy can take care of herself" and that he's not taking the deal. As soon as Lilah mentions they can find Cordelia & Connor, Angel stops. Now Connor endangers himself and Cordelia (Angel's' face when he sees Cordelia is strapped is heartbreaking). Angel & Connor fight. He takes the deal to give Connor a new life and to save Cordelia.
Season 5, he loses his way. He's lost without Cordelia. A shell. Unhappy. Guess who comes back to him? Connor & Cordelia, even for flitting moments. And who brings him back on his path? Cordelia. With a kiss. Because she loves him. "She set me on the path."
With the absurdity of season 4, I am so grateful we got Charisma/Cordelia back to fix it, even for one episode. Of course, I would have loved more and I probably would have watched all of season 5 if she was in it but, alas, can't change the past.
All this to say, Angel loved Cordelia and he loved Connor as he would love his wife & son ( Well, Connor is his son but you know what I mean).
He holds Connor & Cordelia as his most dear & don't you ever forget it.
And I choose to believe Angel & Cordelia got their life after the finale, with Connor involved a teensy bit maybe, we just didn't get to see it.
“Can’t fight Kyrumption, cinnamon buns. It’s fate. It’s the stars.”
*Lorne voice* That's all, folks.

In general I'm a believer that every ship has something to it, and that even if I'm not into it, someone is, and that's okay. So, caveat given, yes?
That said, I like to imagine the future where Cordy and Angel are together, the weird pseudo-parents to their kids, biological and in all but name, Connor and Faith. And Faith is with Buffy, and yes it makes Angel and Buffy uncomfortable, but no one thinks too hard about it.
