Angel in Vampires Fanfiction
Angel — A vampire cursed with a soul who atones for a century of slaughter as Angelus by brooding in shadows and loving the Slayer he can never be happy with. One moment of perfect happiness, and the monster comes back.
Vampires — Creatures of hunger and immortality, whether canon provides them or the writer turns the cast. Vampire fic spans gothic horror, aching romance across mortal lifespans, and domestic comedies about blood-bag logistics.
The vampire is fiction's most flexible metaphor — desire, addiction, otherness, eternity — and every fandom generation reinvents it in its own image. Angel's (also known as Angelus, Liam) role in Buffy makes them a natural fit for vampires storylines, which is why this combination is one of the most popular in Buffy fanfiction.
