Met Your Match

Summary:

After escaping one of the Order of Taraka, Cordelia has a meltdown, finding another bug on her. She calms down with Kendra.

Notes:

This was for a 60 hour flash fest where the word count minimum was 60 words! I decided to try this in 60 words!🤭
I'm so glad I could treat ya and I hope everyone enjoys this! 💖✨ Comments welcomed!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

 

Cordelia's cry, deafening—

"I HATE THISSSS! OH GOD, I HATE THIS!"

She squishes Norman Pfister's bug, and Cordelia 'eeps!' when pretty brown fingers snatch Cordelia's jaw.

Pretty dark brown eyes unblinking.

Nearby, Xander smirks—"met your match, eh, Cordy?"—and gets Buffy's punch.

"Witowt makin' more fuss... yuh alright?" Kendra deadpans. Her heat rises up to Cordelia's cheeks.

Oh.

Oh.

 

Notes:

Commenting can be hard! I wish it was easier than staring blankly at the screen and struggling with words. So you don't have to use words. Not always! 👏 Emoji comments can be lots of fun! In the spirit of other ficcers -- here's my comment cheat code!

(It's been asked before but no--this is not an original idea. People on and off AO3, for years, have made their own different emoji comment 'codes' or 'lists'. I decided to make mine in 2023--and I think if this inspires you to make your own, please do that!)

❤️🔴🟥 - I loved it!
🧡🟠🟧 - I loved it (but in this ficcer's favorite color🧡🧡🧡)!

💙🔵🟦 - OMG I'm devastated! This made me so sad.
💜🟣🟪 - MIND BLOWN. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. AAAAAAAA.
🖤⚫️⬛️ - Literally what did I just read...
🤍⚪️⬜️ - Please don't reply to my comment, thank you.
🤎🟤🟫 - Your fic was good and I am showing support in commenting but please don't reply to my comment, thank you. (I'm shy/anxious/don't wanna talk today/don't like the feeling of being acknowledged when I'm reading on AO3.)
