I'm crying here. I loved the "tweedy bird watch" references that cycled through every interaction. I also loved your hints to Xander's situation before the big reveal, they made me cry even harder. When Xander sees the "star" I thought it was going to be Anya, but I kind of forgot about Cordelia's position within the PTB structure. Way to weave your knowledge of the show into the text.
did I mention so so so so good?
thank you so much for writing.
