Harmony: Okay, hi. First of all, I wanna thank everybody for a really successful raid on the magic shop last night. Good job, minions! Yes, you deserve it. Secondly... somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest little unicorn!
Brad: What?
Harmony: Brad, guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in the tenth grade.
Brad: I, I had to get her something. She sired me.
Peaches: Sire-whipped.

just off the top of my head, potential solutions to Buffy’s money problem in season 6 by femmedefandom

Thinking about how Lorne is always touching Fred anxiously or reassuringly. by dream2nite
i think my biggest issue with angel the series is that it starts out with a bit of a hopeful vibe, very much playing into its themes of redemption and such, but then kind of abandons it halfway through the show by xaeyrnofnbe
