Good Omens Holiday Exchange

Title: If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe

Summary: Things are changing in Heaven. Angels can no longer see the fourth dimension, and Aziraphale’s been assigned to tasting fruit– that is, quality checking the biological life forms that will populate the Earth. He thinks senses are among God’s best inventions, but his friend Kabaiel misses crafting stars. When Lucifer appears with an idea for a secret project that will pit gravity against quantum level forces, Kabaiel signs on eagerly. Everything seems to be going well, but Aziraphale is worried. There’s something about the new project that he doesn’t like. If only he’d stop remembering the future…
