Crowley blushing and saying he hadn't quite grown soft made my day.

hehe thank you!

That was one of my favorite lines to write.

Wow. Just wow, Secret Author! Have you been stalking my brain? (You must be. We even gave our fics the same name. :D) How else could you find out about my obsession with Bronzino and Jane Austen? I'm afraid the obsession with Gabriel/Crowley is all too obvious, but I hope you didn't mind writing the weird pairing. Gabriel's officious tone and annoying habit of asking too many questions was perfect and I think you reflected Crowley and Aziraphale's friendship beautifully. Poor Azi... *g*

You even worked in Adam and Death! I laughed so hard at Adam's gifts, especially this part:

“Mwhuh?” Aziraphale snapped out of the bell-induced trance. “Whatever could you want to put in a bicycle basket?”

WHATEVER I WANT. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

In short, this is perfect. It's everything I wanted and totally worth the wait. Thank you so much!

I deny any and all allegations that I have been stalking. *shifty eyes* (I just read all of your story, and it is FABULOUS. I'll make a more proper squeeage on your posts later)

The pairing was a bit weird, but definitely interesting. It was a wonderful exercise for the creative muscle. I feel more comfortable writing Gabriel now, but I think I need to work in more of the officiousness. You really pinned him down, I think, in your "Twelve Days"... that's the image I was trying to reach for but couldn't put a finger on. That's why I concentrated a lot on the friendship.

I do so love Adam and DEATH. There wasn't originally any presents involved, but then Adam came along and demanded that DEATH have a bell, and that was that.

I'm sorry it was a bit late, and I"m so ridiculously happy that you enjoyed it!

This was really quite enjoyable - I think your decision to write it from Aziraphale's point of view worked very nicely.

Also, Adam and DEATH were fantastic!

Thank you! I've grown to love Aziraphale even more (if that's at all possible), and Adam and DEATH were pretty much my muses.

[oddsbobs]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words.
