"Even that guy,” she said, nodding her head toward the reticent gentleman, “probably has some demon he’s dealing with." >> HA! How wonderfully put! :D I really love the idea that Aziraphale is a code breaker! It fits him so well, cause we know from the book he IS great with crossword puzzles AND he understands the Nice and Accurate Prophecies AND he can scribble in those weird signs that only a handful of other people on Earth can understand! Brilliant! I also love that Newt and Anathema have this beautiful, platonic friendship. I like them better this way than as lovers.
"1904: An olde Enemie sharle becomen the beft Ally." >> :') I love the description of Crowley in the first paragraph of the third bit! And how he always makes sure everyone has enough tea <3 And how he always mutters about Aziraphale X) Also, the letter :') Every word of this letter is so beautiful. That Zira writes to Crowley, that he's happy they are, for once, on the same side, that he's like "I'm sure you won't do evil right now, since I'm not there to thwart you", that he mentiones Tadfield Airbase, THAT HE THINKS ABOUT "THEM" WHEN HE SEES THE DUCKS!!, how he keeps his bookshop safe as at least a TINY haven in the chaos he's not allowed to order, how Newt succeeded in something by making a mistake!, how Aziraphale thinks about getting a computer later, Anathema's predictions, HOW HE "MISSES" CROWLEYYYYY, how he quotes Sun Tzu, the "we'll win, of course", how he looks forward to deal with "the demon that he knows best" again, and, of course, "cordially yours" <3
This was such a lovely fic, wonderfully written! I was a bit afraid when I saw the setting because I thought it might be angsty, but no, it's very sweet! Thanks so much for writing this, I'm sure your recipient will love it! :)
