That was a really great retelling and so brilliantly written! I guess it must be quite difficult to make such kind of stories engaging, because, well, everyone knows what's going to happen next and what the end will be; but you managed to fill it with such wonderful details and reinvent some of the moments in the Victorian way so unexpectedly that it always kept being interesting. :)

I absolutely loved your Anathema and her conversations with The Them.
And Newt! Oh, I'm so glad that you made him a genius - he absolutely deserves it.

This line warmed my heart: "but there was something about the way he looked absolutely terrified as he did it all that was somehow endearing." << It characterizes both of them so well!

Bently-The-Horse is amazing. Probably my favourite character in the fic. I hope she will be happy in Hell with Beethoven! :D And this was where I almost cried a little:
"Crowley walked over morosely to pick it up. It was the only horseshoe in the world that, if hung above a door, would bring good luck to the demon inside and protect him from the harmful outside influences of innocence and piety." <<< Aaaaaw! <3<3
I love it that though Crowley is terrified of hell-horses, he had such an incredible relationship with this one.

There were so many brilliant moments and lines, it's hard to mention all of them.

This one made me laugh:
"Aziraphale, who had been mid-swoon with his hand raised to his forehead at being rescued so gallantly, changed speed, scooping up the serpent and cooing at him." XD

And the conversation in the park was a very good the ending for this story! It added some drama, and also some development of their relationship. One of my favourite story elements is when A&C argue because they can't express how much they mean to each other, so I was delighted to get it here at such an important moment of the story. <3

Thank you so much dear secret author!
