That's so ... nice. Thats the only word i can think of to describe it. It just makes me feel so fuzzy and warm inside. So ... lovely!

I adore the last line.

That is entirely beside the point. Cathedrals. Cathedrals are too grand for Aziraphale to have thought of them. Aziraphale went in for the early churches-Peter’s Basilica, the Hagia Sophia, that sort of thing. The Sistine Chapel has Aziraphale written all over it, in the line of God’s pointing finger and the angels in unabashedly pink robes that line the walls. Michelangelo was Aziraphale’s sort of human, or perhaps Aziraphale was Michelangelo’s sort of angel, back in the day when all parties agreed that a bit of extra fat was aesthetically delightful. Crowley’d had a bit of difficulty during the Renaissance, at least until he met da Vinci. But that is neither here nor there, and Leonardo was always more interested in flying contraptions than cathedrals. Which are Crowley’s point.

This paragraph in particular is lovely. I agree completely that Aziraphale would be more for the early gothic churches, and that Crowley secretly likes cathedrals. I also think you've gotten a pretty good hold on his bizarre thought processes, too.

nice imagery in your writing. I really enjoyed this... I also liked the subtle emotional work between A and C.

overall, a lovely read!
thanks!

This is quite possibly my favourite Good Omens fic I've ever read. Just absolutely perfect in every way. Subtle, and understated, and Big Things below the surface, and bookAziraphale, and the dynamic is just right...

Bloody hell, it makes me happy. Thanks so much for sharing it.

I'm gonna go memory and rec it now.

Wow. Thanks.
