belated crossposting, because I am competent like that.
Title: within a shadowed forest
Pairings/Characters: Most of the main cast makes an appearance, along with several minor characters and OCs. The only completely visible pairing is Anathema/Newt, but there are also hints of Shadwell/Madame Tracy, Adam/Pepper, Brian/Wensleydale, and Aziraphale/Crowley.
Rating: PG-13 for violence.
Summary: AU. Adam… succumbs to his inner Son of Satan, when the time comes. Adam being Adam, this still involves a little rewriting of the Plan. Written for steadfast 's prompt in the go_exchange for 2010.
Warnings: Major character death. And not in the sense of "Death is a major character", although he is that.
A/N: Because there's nothing more festive than a long, bleak story about the last day on Earth. I've strayed a little from the prompt, but I think I kept true to the spirit of it. In addition to Good Omens, I've drawn from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series for everything from throwaway lines to theology, but knowledge of the series isn't necessary to understand this story.
Many thanks to my beta, clodia_metelli. Without you, who knows how this would have ended? Heck, everyone might have lived happily ever after.
We can't be having with that. ♥
