Being in love with someone who doesn't let you run away and assures you like... "It's okay, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere," and hugging you as if you're the only person in their life is powerful.
I didn't put handon in this because I put them in my last non endgame poll like this and I think they won plus I wanted to add some I don't usually put in plus some of my other favorites!! i love handon dgmw but yeah!
Rewatched the pilot of TVD and it's quite the trip to go from Caroline drunkenly hitting on Stefan, who says they're never gonna happen, to rewatching their beautiful wedding(which I did right after bc Steroline is my favorite ship on TVD and I can't BEGIN to express how stoked I was that they ended up together, and equally salty that they killed Stefan instead of Damon).
Steroline and Cangel should have remained friends (even though I seen the Cangel friendship as forced since they hardly interacted on BtVS and Cordelia still had trust issues due to the Angelus S2 period) since they function better as friends than lovers. Caroline would be #2 to Stefan while Cordelia would be #3 to Angel since Buffy is #1 because duh and Darla #2 because of Connor. Caroline and Cordelia deserve better. Plus Angel left Buffy for reasons, which kills the whole Cordy&Angel were meant to be narrative in AtS Season 3. It makes it insensitive since Buffy was brought back from the dead against her will.
