Very clever ! I particularly liked your comparisons, comments in parenthesis and footnotes.

Thank you :) The footnotes were a lot of fun. I completely understand why Gaiman and Pratchett came up with them - they are so useful!

Dear Secret Author,

Exploration of time - time travel, historical fics, dimensional manipulation & distortion etc is my very favorite trope and I cannot imagine these themes being more perfectly interwoven into a fic. I love everything about my wonderful gift. When Aziraphale was in danger I was afraid, right along with Crowley, what might have happened.
Thank you so very much for the gift of your time, converted into these expressive and often descriptively poetic words. I could pick out so many clever turns of phrase (I love that kind of writing).
Your footnotes are elucidating, yet entertaining. Special kudos for #15!
In grateful appreciation, Luna

I am very glad that you liked it :) It was a pleasure and honor to write your gift, your prompt was very inspirational and I learnt so much while researching for this story. There is still a note on my desk with a summary of ancient time units... ;)

I agree, footnote 15 is stellar. :D

[keksdiebin]

Hehe, thanks - Aziraphale simply couldn't let this story end without adding a bit of naughtiness ;)

I LOVED this. This whole story is now definitely going to be my headcanon about why Crowley has such a fancy watch, and now I'm going to be super emotional every time it's mentioned!

[keksdiebin]

Thank you! It's a great honor to become someones headcanon :) Time is very important to Crowley, I mean the first thing he does in the book is to show up late...

[maniacalmole]

Hahaha oh dear, that IS true...XD

Crowley having a fascination with time and clocks is giving me all the feels. This is such a beautifully written piece, too; your style is marvelous. Happy New Year!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it and I also wish you a Happy New Year :)!
