This is wonderful--my sympathies on the reason for delay, I do quite understand. It's always good to see Aziraphale's book habits get love, and this was about the right level of hilarity, right down to the footnote about the dog.

Why do I suddenly see Crowley spending the next few years trying to talk Aziraphale into saving the dog's soul, and the dog being...not exactly useful to have had around for effort?

Ten points to whatever house you're in.

Your dialogue's just hilarious. I love this passage in particular:

"No… the point is… Why create something with a huge brain which could give most humans a good run for their money in the intelligence stakes, then stick it in a body which is shaped like a fish? Hardly fair, is it? I mean, how many times do you think that some wise dolphin has come up with an amazing invention or idea and decided to patent it, only to be thwarted at the last moment 'oh bugger, no hands, no opposable thumb…'. Eh?" Crowley jabbed a finger on the table for effect. "Did He have a surplus of fish-shapes to use up, or maybe He hadn't got to grips with the idea of legs at that point. Maybe He was just having an experimental moment… Angel? Er, ANGEL?"Having an experimental moment indeed. I'm going to use that comeback next time somebody amongst my Conservative (religious) family members natters on about God creating X, Y, or Z. I'm sure it'll cause some excellent consternation ( ... )

Ah!!! What a dirty rotten cheat!!! I was half-hoping to see Crowley take up the bidding and give that man a run for his money, but alas. I really enjoyed the auction scene!! Great story!!!
