From this you can see why Cordy thought she had a career as an actress. And as ever, Angelus lies with the truth. This was waaaaay creepy. Good stuff.

Thanks! Yeah, the girl needs to be properly motivated in order to be a good actress. I think trying to save her own or someone else's life qualifies. Like when she psyched out Lyle Gorch and the great Angelus. LOL

And \o/ for thinking it was creepy. I like creepy Angelus fic.

Note-perfect characterization and dialogue for Cordy and Angelus. Just marvelous-I'll be sure to recommend it to other fans!

Really? Thank you! Getting them in character is important to me so it's awesome to know you thought I did. Thanks for reading. :D

“Is that all?” she questions him with an arched eyebrow. “Because if you want poor little Cordy to cry, you’re going to have to do a lot better than that, fang face.”

Perfect! ;) You really highlighted just what it is that makes Cordy a hero: facing up to what terrifies her the most despite everything inside her telling her to run. And doing it while gorgeous. :D

Another great C/Aus moment. And the picking flowers part - I know was meant for Buffy - but I took it as foreshadow for Persephone. *chills*

[samsom]

She was even gorgeous when she was scared, wasn't she?

Thinking about your suggestion and remembering how she was when she faced Billy...well, it was easy. I'm glad you like it. Duh. :P

I might swing the sequel to this into a prequel for the Persephone fic. :D
