Oh My! once I got past Eye of Newt, this was a delightful story. I am also on the side that everyone has "forgotten" what happened except Crowley and Aziraphale (and Adam, of course!).

I am so sorry it took me a little while to react - the draconian Christmas regime at the parents' has begun - but what an utterly perfect gift to receive! The characterisation is gorgeous, the prose delightully phrased, and the gentle suggestions of how all the characters relate to each other is so thoroughly wonderful. The reason for their disagreement and its subsequent awkward resolution was fantastic, and oh that little scene at the end.

Thank you so very, very much. You've utterly made my Christmas. ♥

I like Anathema's family!

I don't even know where to start with this, but that's pretty typical of anything you write, so ;) Anathema using a slow cooker instead of a cauldron is fucking canon, as far as I'm concerned, because her carry-a-bread-knife-in-her-belt brand of pragmatism knows no bounds. Your version of her daughters (her family, really) is now as dear to me as my own version thereof; it takes a lot of pushing to wedge something in beside my own writing-fashioned headcanons, but you're always the one to do it. I'm dosed up high enough on various medications for the bronchitis right now that the rose hips maaaybe did me in a bit. Have you had the jelly they make from R.r. hips in New England? It's really good stuff, and I won't be able to get it out here in the desert. I've been experimenting with things made from prickly pear, though! CHOCOLATE BARS, IMAGINE.

Happy, Happy New Year to you, old friend. You can't hide from me; I can't hide from you <3

yaaaaaaaaas witch

ok, seriously: this was delightful! I would 100% read an entire book about Anathema's ordinary witch life, just her and all the conferences.
