Suddenly, she felt the familiar prickling sensation all over her body that usually accompanied her glowing demon powers. Her entire body took on an ethereal glow as light shone from every pore.

Now is what I was wating for! It should have happened (as many other things too) on the show a lot more often... It's awesome and pretty nifty, huh? LoL.

I'm loving this story more and more, yeah... =).

"Willow? What are you saying?’ Angel said, finally sitting down.

‘We might be able to bring Cordy back,’ she told him.

... Now se... This is what could have happened if Joss hadn't given up on the show. When he killed Cordy off he ultimately killed the show off... Uggh.

So really, thank you for this story.

How can it go so lovey dovey, goody goody so happy it makes ya almost wanna puke to... the neck snapping of a kid and life sucking kill and vicious beating?! Just.. :Blank stare:

I just hope those vamps got the ** beaten outta them for shure later on...

Great start.

Best A/C EVER! Best apocalypse story EVER! LOVE!

i loved this. was under pen name goldenshadows but had to change my account

Oh my gosh! This is crazy. I had to take a double-take with the second chapter because I was like, this looks exactly the same! Then it changes with Cordy's appearance. This took skill. I like the setup and will continue reading! Great job!

I really liked this story. It was entertaining and I actually felt compelled to read it through to the conclusion - which I don't often do with novel length fics.

Couple of things that bothered me a little though:

- You seem a little distracted with describing everyone's hair colour. It becomes a bit comical after a while. It might be nice if the physical descriptions were varied a little. Or if you just used the character's names instead of the physical feature when referring to them.

- Cordy and Angel seemed to be locked in the same 'Cordy stay back!", "No Angel I have superpowers and I can fight" argument the whole way through. It got a bit boring after a while. It would have been nice if the relationship had developed a bit.

- A lot of what happened seemed to be a rehash of what already went on in the series. Not just the flashbacks, but the emotional beats, and the way the characters fell back on previous experience so much to solve their current problems. Characters seemed to be learning lessons that they had already learned on the show.

- All problems seemed to be solved with Cordy's powers. It felt at times as though the others may as well not be there.

But on the upside:

- The twist with Angel being in hell at the beginning was very cool.

- It was C/A and there just isn't enough of that.

- The dialog was all well in character.

- Ilyria spending all that time watching over Wesley was disturbingly touching.

- I really liked the Reiff/Rondel dynamic. Good thinking bringing those two together.

- Throwing a scene with Angel, Buffy and Anne in the mix was nice.

- Dawn being distracted by Connor and the following dialog with Xander was just adorable.

- The brief bonding between Angel and Xander was very nice.

Thanks for writing this. :)

Wow...this was just really beautiful! Thank you for the wonderful story. Well done. :)

Fogi, *taps toes* I have been waiting ever so patiently... gonna get a new chapter up soon? *whines*

Anywho, I love this story, just so you know.

That was a good story. Keep up the good work and I hope to read more of your Angel/Cordy stories in the future.

I can't believe I haven't read this before. I mean, I love your CSI fics. Well I have finally read it, and I love it.

It has all the things I like in an Angel story - Angel/Cordy, presence of Faith, Willow, Spike, Buffy and Illyria... okay no Fred etc but that's understandable! A good plot, well written...

My only complaint is the final chapter, having Cordy lose her powers! But it's nice at the same time, having her give them up so Angel could Shanshu.

All in all, great story, and I hope you write more Angel/Cordy in the future.

and thank you for a great story. i enjoyed reading every part of it. I would ask for a sequel, but this ending actually wrapped everything up nicely!

Wow! What an adventure this fine piece of fiction has been and best of all the ending left me feeling content and hopeful - feelings whcih are often rare in Angel fiction. i hope you are working on other projuects as I would be very interested in reading more of your work. Thanks for the fic

Just awesome.I have read it from beginning to end and just think you hit the mark so well. One of the things Angel always wanted was to be human again. So many episodes in both BTVS and ATS dealt with that. When they killed Cordy for good in 'You're Welcome' I was devestated. I love how you handled their characters and your storyline. Thank you for completing it. Well Done!

You had me there.
I was worried sick that you were going the "big sacrifice" road,Cordy leaving Angel alone with his newfound humanity.
I was like "No! Not again! I read that a million times!It sucks!"
B*tch!

Anyway,it was a great ride!Wow!
I'm glad the story's ending well.All these characters fought hard to win.They deserve some peace and happiness.

I'm not a C/A shipper (No vampire/anyone ship for me.I prefer breathing characters.) but if Cordy wants him,it's fair that she got him at last.She worked very hard to.And he's human now,so...
Angel can be pretty sweet when he's not behaving like a jerk or an idiot.*G* (ducks quickly to avoid 'virtual'-Thank God!-slaps!)

This story was a real success.I enjoyed it from beginning to end!

Thanks again for a great read.
I hope you will give us something else to read in the close future.
