Angel/Wesley is the slash pairing of Angel and Wesley Wyndam-Price from Angel the Series.
Fandom
Both of these characters had previously appeared in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but this pairing didn't become common until the inclusion of Wesley in season 1 of Angel. For a long time, Wesley/Angel was the dominant slash pairing in this fandom.
Angel/Wesley is such a dark ship for me. Wesley/Lilah is so fluffy by comparison. I wouldn’t ever want these two characters to get together. However, their dysfunctional chemistry is so obvious and so compelling. The gay subtext….sometimes rapidly becomes text. ;-) If it’s not Cordelia’s friends assuming that Wesley and Angel are a couple, it’s Angel riding bitch with a pink helmet on Angel’s motorcycle, or it’s Angelus basically singing arias on Wesley’s attractiveness in his cage or arranging his hostage negotiations with Faith so he can pull Wesley real close against him. For taciturn, shadow guys, subtlety really isn’t a thing with those guys![1]
