Thank you so much! SunnyD and I write at, like, opposite ends of the fandom spectrum -- she writes mostly S/X -- so I was kind of freaking out when I first started looking through her library, and ended up having to choose a drabble. But I kind of like how it turned out; I'm glad you did, too.

It's betrayal again. Skip betrays her, and she doesn't see it coming. (She totally should, because Angel is all about betrayal . . . but whatevers. She was blinded by pride and the Mission.)
I cry every time I watch "You're Welcome." I hated so much of Cordelia in S4 -- well, it wasn't really Cordelia, but you know what I mean -- and "You're Welcome" was my girl back again, and the whole episode . . . omigod, it kills me.
Every time. Seriously.
I'm really glad you liked the story. Thank you.

This was beautiful! Aw, Cordy. I love how you've got this sort of magical, dreamlike, storybook kind of narrative voice going on, and then every once in awhile these snappy Cordelia-isms will jump in: Honestly. It’s just plus and minus, dumbass. In what way was he a champion? Hee!
Anyway, I think this was a beautiful way to take us through Cordelia's entire journey, starting as a superficial girl and then seeing the person she gradually became through growth and experience. Awesome! I haven't read the original story yet - definitely will soon!

Welcome back! Did you have a nice weekend?
Aw, thank you; I'm so glad you liked it! I love Cordelia a lot, so it's nice to know that I did her justice.
And the original fic is a drabble, so it shouldn't take you long, hee!
