Oh my. This is so wonderful! You have the tones and the feel of each environment and time down so well and yet Crowley and Aziraphale still read very much like themselves. Thank you so much! I love having the small mentions of other gods and beings, and of War and Despair on the battlefield, and those little hints at what's changed between the two, without overtly stating it. This is so lovely. Thank you again!

Also, I absolutely ADORED having Crowley and Aziraphale attend the Wake! Thank you so much for that extra bit!

I'm so glad you liked it!

I was worried about the historical bits, so it's nice that they turned out alright!

The Wake moved me very much when I read it - in fact I was sobbing for an entire night after reading The Kindly Ones and The Wake back-to-back. Then I actually dreamt I was at the wake, that night. Crowley's feelings here are, I admit, very similar to my own when I first read it.

He’d been on a lot of battlefields, and he’d seen Despair many times, but he didn’t think there was a personification of Glory; if there was, he’d never met her.

I loved this, Secret Author. It was vivid and maudlin and hopeful, even, in an odd way. Great job!

:D The World War I segment was hard to write and went through quite a few changes, but I think it's my favourite bit. ;)

Thank you so much!

I loved this crossover very much. All the characters blended in well together, forming a well rounded story. Nicely done.

I must admit this is only about the second crossover I've done, so I was pretty nervous. Thank you so much!

Beautiful! I especially liked how embarrassed Azriphael was in meeting Bast. :) An absolutely wonderful story.

Hee, I loved writing that bit. xD Thank you!
