This is a gem of the Good Omens Holiday Exchange! I didn't want this story to end, it sucked me right in and I kept constantly returning to it in my thoughts during the days it took me to read it :) First of all, this is such a clever human AU, both of them are so in character, even though they are not actually the angel and the demon, their personalities stayed the same. You don't even question Aziraphale's name, it suits him so well, just as it is when Crowley starts to call him "angel" <3 Oh, how perfect your Crowley is, such a brittle sarcastic show-off, but so caring and hopeful and ridiculous XD <3 Their first meeting, the Fall, the way they both were dithering around each other was just brilliant and so endearing <3 And I want to thank you especially for making them middle-aged, it's not a common thing for a human AU, and it really suits them! And I loved how you handled it: they have their own separate histories behind them and so their chance for a new happy life together feels all the more precious <3 And I applaud your sense of humour (oh, Anathema with her comments was quite something! :D) Delicious, delicious angst. Perfect pining Crowley. All the amazingly beautiful scenes, like their first kiss, or Aziraphale coming to Crowley's house to bring him books, the storm... How cathartic was Crowley's breakdown, and how sweet and caring was Aziraphale <3 The hottest bedroom scene *_* And the fluffiest of fluff in the end! I love them <3 Masterful work! Can't wait to learn who you are, dear Secret Author :)
