Wonderful! I'm so glad you continued that story. Only Crowley could screw up that badly and get away with it - that was so funny! And torturing poor Abdiel - I loved that. And Heaven without books? That sounds more like Hell to me!
Heh. Crowley is, canonically, an extremely lucky bastard. (Just be glad I decided against using James Bond-style tricks, though). Poor, poor terminally embarrassed Abdiel. At least I didn't torture passers-by this time. And I'm quite sure Aziraphale would agree about a bookless Heaven!
Oh, wow. You always manage to outdo yourself. I still think that the badly-glued on fake moustache and cheesy French accent would've kicked ass, but that was obviously for some other story. I was all moved and tickled pink by this one, hon. And, if I may say so...
Aziraphale was wavering. Crowley took off his sunglasses and handed them over. He held out his hands meekly.
“I’m your prisoner, sir. Take me away. It’s a fair cop, guv.”
That is kinky. Also:
“I’m so sorry,” he said, and gave Aziraphale a deep bite.
So's that. ;) Actually, I was too busy being amazed and slack-jawed at that point to take note, but there you are. The celestial spheres bit rocks the world.
And, Gods, Aziraphale's conversation with Michael...cracks me up. You just know that Michael would use the word 'lads'. Oi.
Hmm. Ignore the kinky role-playing, biting angels :-) (Zo, Azeerafayle, take me to votre 'umble abode weenk weenk). I'm glad you liked the celestial spheres stuff - freaky Platonic cosmology is fun!
That was simply lovely. Crowley is wonderfully endearing in this (the myriad ways he takes out Aziraphale's replacement are hysterical), and I love the overall movement of the story. You capture Crowley and Aziraphale so well--Crowley wondering what James Bond would do remains one of my favorite lines.
And they live happily-ever-after, which is marvelous. Their affection for each other shines through the entire story, although neither of them actually say it, it's obvious they care deeply for one another. Shoot, Crowley goes marauding through Heaven to find Aziraphale--if that's not love, I don't know what is. :)
Poor, flat, eaten-by-lions, shot and embarrassed Abdiel. That'll teach him to replace Aziraphale :-) (And of course A&C can't say anything - they're English!)
Poor handbag-Crowley. But then, Hastur might start using him to beat on people like a little old lady, which would be funny. "Ow, ow ow... run already, you stupid git! That's my face that's pummelling you!"
I knew this couldn't possibly go well, then Crowley turns up in heaven, oh dear. I can just imagine him as the little black speck amongst all that white. The idea of warrior Aziraphale is amusing to me too. Just like him, men, he's read a thousand books on the subject! I'm rather lost as to manna, though. Crowley attacking Zira was kind of sweet in an odd way.
I really cracked up at the steamroller death thing. I can just see a cartoon series where the hapless angel is repeatedly killed by Crowley in inventive and nasty ways. Today, Godzilla makes a guest appearance.
Crowley's worst nightmare, being back Upstairs - almost as bad as being back Downstairs.
Manna is what the children of Israel eat while they're wandering round the desert for 40 years. Basically, it's trail rations provided by God ("manna" actually means "What's that"? :-)
And yes, somehow I don't think Aziraphale would make for a terribly effective officer!

Thanks, dude. That's one exhilarating, lovely, funny, moving fic you've got there.

No, really, it makes me want to start talking about the ether and the stationary earth and stuff. S'great.
