Hello! I'm new to Supernatural and Destiel, so apologies in advance if I mess this up. I'm wondering if anyone has ever written a fiction based on/similar to the episode 'I will remember you' from Angel?
Welcome to destiel! If you think that Buffy and Angel had it rough, youāre in for an angst ride of a lifetime with Dean and Castiel. ;)
For those who are not familiar with Buffy/Angel or the plot of āI will remember youā episode (Angel The series, season 1, episode 8) hereās a short, spoilerish summary. Vampire slayer Buffy and vampire Angel are in love, but canāt be together intimately because of a terrible curse. In the episode, the curse is lifted and and they have the best sex ever. Except, thereāre consequences and decision is made to return to previous status quo. The price - Angel will always remember their night together while Buffy will forget it.
We donāt know of any destiel fic with this exact premise but thereās plenty of fics that play around with āsudden happy times until one of them forgot everythingā trope. At least Buffy and Angel knew that their love is mutual, Dean and Cas never had that luxury. Hereās some fics we think capture this tragedy the best. Canonverse fics will have spoilers for their respective seasons, take care if youāre not up to date with the show.
Fics were Dean and Cas donāt end up together romantically are marked with unhappyish here and their reviews have unhappyish tag. Ā
