My triumphant return to
open_on_sunday drabbles (for the prompt "Stamp"), which I've been meaning to write, only not writing for quite a while. Months, really. I did two, which I'm posting seperately, so here's drabble the first. It's a Cordelia drabble, because, for whatever reason, I can't seem to write more than 100 words of Cordelia, even though I'm actually rather fond of her.
Title: Within the Lines
Characters: Cordelia, Harmony
Pairing: Cordelia/Xander mentioned, but mostly gen.
Rating: PG
Summary: Cordelia Chase didn't need to conform. Set during Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered.
Disclaimer: If I owned these characters, I wouldn't be writing fanfiction about them.
Within the Lines
When she was a tiny, pigtailed girl, Cordelia loved playing with stamps. She would spend hours with her rainbow of inks, making patterns, and chaos, and masterpieces.
She liked the freedom of not having to worry about coloring within the lines. All of her friends followed the lines, but not Cordelia. She made her own lines.
When she and Xander walked past Harmony, “Sheep!” ringing in the still air, Cordelia wished she had a stamp, just to brand SHEEP across Harmony's forehead in bold, red ink.
Cordelia Chase didn't need to conform.
She’d never liked coloring in the lines, anyways.
