Ack, perfect and wonderful and ack!!!!!!!! Brilliant. I especially loved the last one, a look inside Cordy's head /their/ perfect moment. Great work.

Thank you very much! I admit I made myself cry on that last one. I'm pathetic. :)

Man, any time that scene from YW is even mentioned/referenced/whatever, I get teary. I totally understand. And to imagine that that was their second choice for that episode. Grrrrr.

I get very angry when I think about ME wanting SMG to come in and save Angel from himself. That wasn't her role - at least on AtS - and S5 was already more about Spike and Buffy than Angel already. Arrgghhh! But I'm so thrilled that CC came in and did her thing and made that episode the best one of the season, IMO. Plus, we finally got a *real* C/A kiss so the other ships could STFU about canon. :)

That was perfect. I especially liked Part 3 - this is how it should have happened. I had tears in my eyes when I read Part 5.

Thank you. I'm glad you liked the third part. I always thought we needed to see Cordy forgive him before the clothes or else it cheapened both Angel and Cordy. And yay for a reaction to part 5. It's always great to hear that someone is moved by something I wrote. :)

Wow, I just got around to reading this. What a beautiful piece.

I love your altering of events that happened in the show and how you took them. And by the end...just like in the show during that episode, I had tears in my eyes. I enjoyed reading that moment from Cordelia's point of view and having Angel fade out of view. broke my heart.

lovely! :)

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. We all need a little altered reality from time to time. I'm glad this one worked for you. :D

Ahh 😮‍💨🥹
This makes me so sad and happy at the same time.Reading pieces about YW with same outcome makes me so emotional.
