Why this must be read: This is the funniest fic I have read in the last five years, seriously. Cordelia stages an intervention for Angel. Because she thinks he has Seasonal Affective Disorder and needs a therapist. Or a shoulder to cry on. Or Prozac. Oh, those wacky Los Angeles therapists! Littera does a great job with all the characters, but especially Cordelia, a bundle of enthusiasm that can force the men in her life to do anything by giving them a mean look. The plot is awesome, funny and in classic S2 style, I couldn't stop laughing as I read it.

"Angel?" Cordelia, on the other hand, sounded like she was trying to herd sheep with her voice. Retarded sheep. Retarded, easily spooked sheep. "Angel?"

And, damn. He couldn't remember what they were talking about. "Yes?" he said, trying to remember if he was agreeing to something, and if so, what.

"Good. Okay, I'll start." She looked at the papers again. "Angel, we called this intervention because -"

"Wait. Intervention?" This was definitely the first time anyone had used that word.

Cordelia plowed on, ignoring him. "Because you've seemed a little, well, down lately."

"Buffy died. The world almost ended. The wheels came off my rolly chair. It's been a tough week."

I have fond memories of this story--it's one of my favorites among pieces I've been privileged to beta. Humor is difficult to get right.
