Story Notes:
This story was written for the April 2023 Challenge Event at Elysian Fields, for responses to Challenges previously posted on the site.
It’s also part of my “What-If Books” Series, answering Willow’s question: “What if Cordelia had Wished for Something Other than ‘Buffy never came to Sunnydale’?”
I put Queer Themes as a genre, and they're definitely here, but I should warn y'all, there's also Homophobia. It's not particularly violent as of now, but it may get there, FYI.

This chapter is mostly focused on Cordelia, since it starts from her wish and defines the new world she's created. Future chapters (once I get around to writing them) will be focused on other characters.
