AU! AU! AU!!!!! ANGELS AND GOD AND THE DEVIL!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'M IN LOVE! I'M OUT OF MY MIND!!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF WITH ALL MY CRAZY SELF!!! It makes me think of Dante and the Divine Comedy and the greatness of these creatures that I find it simply sublime and larger than life!

He dropped to his knees, breathing hard. “…You watched everything, right?” He asked slowly.

This part here had a GREAT impact on me. The kind of impact only great tragedies can have. Oh, Kaoru...

The Devil shook his head, “My happiness means doom and destruction.”

“Those are your desire. Your happiness… lays with him.”

I love how you portrayed God all along the whole fic. How he's so wise and full of love and understanding and how he has answers for everything and manages to soften the Devil's heart :)

“…A human will die.” And that, was the inmost fear within the fearless Devil. Out in the open. Kaoru didn’t even know why he let that out. Silence hung in the hall.

Again, this is such a strong part. Seeing the devil miserable, aware of the humongous scale of differences between his position in Hell and Toshiya's position as a human is simply breathtaking. Because we can see that the Devil has his weak points too and because of that you tend to pity him more and have more understanding for him. We can that his answer is a result of a personal torment. LOVED IT!

“The story of you and Toshiya will never end. That is my blessing for you two.”

AND THAT WAS A VERY SMART PLOT IDEA!!!! I COULDN'T FIND AN ANSWER MYSELF WHILE READING IT, AS TO WHAT GOD'S BLESSING WAS REFERRING TO! COMING TO AN END THOUGH I THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING, THE IDEA YOU CAME UP WITH ;)!

I'm sooooo glad you enjoyed it :D

This fic was what halted me in posting my fics for such a long time. I got stuck, I tried to play around the idea, but it still wouldn't finish. Initially, this was supposed to be multi-chapter (because the song is too rich/awesome to be translated into mere drabble/oneshot). In the end, I decided that it's better to just pour everything I have in mind for now and finish this.

God is, after all, the creator of everything, including Kaoru the Devil. God loves them all, and for God, Kaoru is one of his most beautiful creation (Lucifer, Lucifer, Lucifer).

The Devil blames himself for not only torturing Toshiya, but to actually made Toshiya into what he is today: a human. No more immortality. Imagine you have to watch the person you love die over and over again, even though you know you will see him again as on his future rebirths. But even God knows that if Toshiya didn't come down there as a human, Kaoru would never return his feelings. Therefore, sacrifice must be made from Toshiya's side. And Kaoru must understand that and make his part of sacrifice by seeing Toshiya die.
