Wow, no kidding about Cordelia/Giles -- looks like it was recced only once before all the way back in 2006! Clearly a rare pair.

Wow, I didn't realise it was that rare. I may have to have a go at writing it myself sometime just to see how it goes. :)

We had a bit of a run of Giles/Cordelia at SOG this year. It's always great to see variety. We had a strong year in general and you've listed some great entries.

And thanks for the rec!

There was definitely a run on G/C this year - it was great to see.

And you are welcome - your stories always make me happy.

Thank you again. I found “Better Left Unspoken” easy and fun to write, and I’m not disappointed to see that it still attracts a small bit of notice.

It was easy and fun to read as well, and a pleasure to rec.

Don't be surprised to see it turn up on my own end of year review in December.
