Cordelia!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's it, missy. You have some major fic to be writing now.

(Also, Xander made me giggle.)

I know, I know! I too am a tease. Especially as she's only going to get a couple of fics in this whole set, so the Full Story will have to wait a while. I do kind of know where it's going, at least.

I just thought, since I'm playing fast and loose with AtS season 5, she doesn't have to die. I have power!

I <3 AUs.

[snickfic]

It is true!

(I've lately been trying to remember why Wesley didn't die. I haven't managed it yet.)

[brutti_ma_buoni]

In the Rulesverse? He just didn't! NFA wasn't nearly as world-endy and fatal. That was all I changed, until this point.

There's actually a whole set of fics to be written about the LA end of the operation, with Angel and Lorne running the training, Wesley and Gunn more involved, and some backstory too. I think that may give me space for the Cordelia story too. Maybe.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*g*

I aim to please!

You have the power! And you use it wisely. :) Yay for alive Cordelia. Nicely done.

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Yay! I'm glad you approve!

[brunettepet]

Here I thought Angel being thankful for Harmony was delightful, and then you pull out the big guns with Cordelia no longer comatose or dying! This has put a big smile on my face!

[brutti_ma_buoni]

Hey, Harmony types like a demon! But I think living-Cordelia is bigger and better than that.

I don't know this bingo thing of which you speak, but if it generates fic goodness like this, I most heartily approve! :)

Damn, I have no commemorative Cordy icon to celebrate said goodness. A more general "Yay!" icon will have to do.

One of those challenges where you think, 'Hmm, I can write five fics from a set of 25 prompts, no trouble.' Then you get your 25 in bingo card form and realise you could write most of them. Maybe all of them. And then the obsession begins...

You've got in on the ground floor - luckily(?)
