You have achieved absolute PERFECTION with Cordelia's voice and interior monologue. And on top of that, the peek into Xander's guilt (and the monster you used to show it) was very well done.

Wow, thank you! High praise indeed :D I'm so glad you liked it!

Your Cordelia is so dead-on. She was one of my favorite characters from Buffy, and you have written her perfectly. ♥ I just loved this so much.

Okay, so: Put that way it doesn’t sound very sexy, true, but the same could be said about Xander, and she knows for a fact that his sexiness is kind of like a ninja. It just sneaks up on you and smacks you in the face when you’re least expecting it. That was great. There were a lot of times when I could really see this happening on the show, like when Cordy looked in the mirror and saw the bullet. Flawless Xander voice here, too - Well, let this inky-handed peasant fill you in, then. Kid spends the night here on a dare from his buddies. A little harmless fun, right? Next morning, though, he doesn’t come back out., I heard his little breathy laugh when I read that. And then after that I got too sucked into the story to note other things that were also awesome. Except what's in the trunk -- what if it's just another monster coming to eaaaat them? SEQUEL. Basically though this was just excellent. ♥
