Okay... on Lindsey as Connor's father:

I get that in The Trial, the PTB gave Darla her life in the form of Connor. Okay. But Lindsey and Darla were screwing aplenty -- and it just always seemed more fascinating to me to have Angel love this child, claim him, and then to find out that he was Lindsey's? Talk about the ultimate triumph of evil over good and another hurdle in a ste of endless hurdles for Angel. It would have made for some fascinating AtS S6 drama.

Now I know this flies in the face of the Nyazian scrolls, but it might *not*, considering that everyone who worked for W&H was bound for eternity to the firm -- so in a post-NFA scenario, Lindsey is still a player (as are all the AI team members)and there's the opportunity for the plot device. We would probably see a return to the 'setting women on fire!Angel' -- all wrath and fury and sorrow, and it would be wonderful to see where he could go -- especially if Spike took the role of balancing influence (a la Cordy or Doyle).

If I wrote long-form fic, I'd give it a shot to see here it goes, but my atention span for longer pieces in non-existent.

Wacky? Wild? Impossible?

I'm not sure Darla and Lindsey were actually screwing. Lindsey is just the type of man to get *that* worked up over a woman he's never slept with (just like he's worked up over Angel, who doesn't give two shakes enough to either fuck him or fight him). And Darla is just the sort of woman who'd revel in Lindsey's wanting-her-and-not-getting-it.

We would probably see a return to the 'setting women on fire!Angel'

I don't know about that. I guess I'm having trouble even fathoming what Angel's reaction would be if he found out Connor wasn't actually his son. But I guess at that point he would just feel so royally screwed over, I'm not even sure he'd have anger left.

If I wrote long-form fic, I'd give it a shot to see here it goes, but my atention span for longer pieces in non-existent.

Well, this whole idea makes me really really REALLY wish that you did write longer fic! Because I'd be interested to watch Angel's reactions play out.
