I know this is from last year, but I found it again now and just wanted to say how much I loved the ending! I was a little confused at the beginning with all the jumping around, but I stuck with it and then the last two chapters drew everything together and I understood the continuity and it was AWESOME.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that Aziraphale missed their anniversary because he was using the Julian calendar. That is just SUCH an Aziraphale thing to do! I had figured out that O.S. and N.S. stood for "old system" and "new system," but I was thinking that the N.S. scenes were set in the distant future (hence part of my confusion with the timeline at the beginning), and I never even suspected that different calendars of /the same stretch of time/ might be in effect. But awesome reveal and I'm so happy they finally got their anniversary!!
