help!

I've got the tiniest tiniest bunny but I need some help remembering a bit of canon.

I'm looking for instances in which we see Angel or Angelus or Liam interact with children (with the exception of Connor, because I know where those eps are). so far I can think of:

his sister Kathy (As1 Prodigal)
that possessed evil boy (As1 I've Got You Under My Skin)
the kid that Dru was trying to put the whammy on on the playground (found it! Bs2 Lie to Me)
ETA: arguably As1 Blind Date (thanks to sweptawaybayou for also pointing this out)
ah! I forgot about Holtz's little girl (As3 Quickening)
spikesgurl supplies the baby-rescue at the end of As2 Darla
germaine_pet provides a bunch:
pregnant woman in As2 Judgement
The First appears as a man whose family was murdered by Angelus in Bs3 Amends.
Lindsey's fake-son shooting at Angel et al in As5 Unverneath
and the father-figure references to Angelus by his vampire line

ETA: ok, I think I have what I need. thanks!

anything I'm missing? allusions to Angel(us) with children that we don't *see* but *hear about* count as well (ie, the same way we hear about Angelus and the valentine's puppies). I have a theory, but that's a rather random thing from canon to remember on my own.

I present it to the fandom braintrust. help? :)

Nightmare Lullaby, an Angel-centric genfic

I had this dream last night, and then this bunny ate my brain this morning. I was gonna post more Burn today, but I hope you’ll like this because it had to happen.

It’s always been interesting to me that Angel, who we’re supposed to believe for the first 4 years we know him is very socially awkward, is really comfortable with kids. Every time I watch As1 I’ve Got You Under My Skin, I think about that. if it weren’t for that ep, I’d be inclined to guess that before Connor, the idea of caring for children would panic Angel a little, because he can be so uncomfortable with human emotion, and who wears their heart on their sleeve more than children? But he’s so comfortable with the kids in that family…in a joking-but-not-talking-down-to, I’m-familiar-with-kids way. In fact, he’s more comfortable with the kids in that ep than the parents, and he knows how to talk to them.

Interesting. And unexpected, until I started thinking about it.

thanks to everyone who helped me out by answering this post!

man I suck at titles.
