That was great - well done. I've always liked the evolution of Cordelia's character through the Buffy and Angel series. You capture her growing maturity and diminishing selfishness very well, as well as her pain, physical and metaphysical.

Thanks! It's lovely to hear you liked it! Cordelia's character arc is one of my favorites in Buffyverse, and I tried to have it work on different levels, so I'm glad it worked for you here.

Thanks! I'm so happy you enjoyed the fic and how it charts Cordy's changes! [She deserved so much more than coma girl.]

Ohhhh, so lovely. I really liked her time with Fred and how it shows her growth. Plus, girls shopping together! Fred needed that!

Thanks! I'm really glad you liked the scene with Fred! I wanted to show Cordy growing to want to help another woman look nice and feel good about herself.

Great. Neat progression from shallow and self-centered to real woman.
