Sorry to be limping in behind everyone else. Couldn't comment during the holidays (just enough free time to read and look at art) so I'm behind everyone thanking the participants for their bounty of efforts and not being able to comment as much as each deserves.
This one is a marvelous long, involved plot, with cliff hanger sieges, angel and demon busy misinterpreting each other and tripping over their hearts, Adam figuring it out but the big moment is Aziraphale's as is appropriate since he was bundled off to Lower Tadfield, thinking he was being sent to the boonies as punishment. Anael is an interestingly three-dimensional version of another angel and Shae is scary. Sarah having little Grace Hope reminds me of the Messiah returning as a baby girl in Crown of Stars and makes me wonder if you are saying more than simply a hopeful statement with her.
In any case your interpretation of the "canon" move to the cottage by the sea is delightful and Newt managing not to destroy anything--even the VCR is endearing.

A nice long, well-plotted, satisfying read.
