Eeeeeeee, I love all the bits of advice he gets (wanted or not!) from all the different people.
This is brilliant. :D

There needs to be a little aside, about the Horsemen, there really does! *pokes*

Thank you :D I just couldn't resist adding the bits with Hastur, Ligur and the Four Other Motorcyclists.

I did think about adding a small coversation with the Horsepersons, but when I tried to write it nothing was forthcoming.

Oh, perfect! All the bits of advice are just amusing and *so* in character! Poor Adam, being beset by all of them!

Thanks :D

Hee. Adam was defintely right to favour Anathema's suggestion.

Ee, so cute!

Also:
“I was hardly suggesting that he do the latter Crowley.”

That should be “I was hardly suggesting that he do the latter COMMA Crowley.” There is a large difference between "Let's go and eat, Bob" and "Let's go and eat Bob." You made that mistake a few times.

...Somehow, leaving out the comma there makes it much, much more hilarious.

*Goes into facepalm mode*

Oh dear, I'm thinking terrible thoughts about what Aziraphale was suggesting Adam do to the 'former Crowley'.

Well, the former Crowely wasn't at stylish. The latter Crowley left him in the fourteenth century.

oh my god, you wrote the four other horsepersons? I loveyou! With added psychotic penguins of doom on top! (it's like cherries and whipped cream, but more personal)

Who, moi, soft spot for ridiculously minor characters? Never. (I'm not on my own. This is the fandom that will actually read Hasutr/Ligur.)

Thank you :D Hurrah for psychotic penguins. I keep meaning to write fic focussing on the other four Horsepersons but never seem to quite get round to it.

Who, moi, soft spot for ridiculously minor characters? Never. (I'm not on my own. This is the fandom that will actually read Hasutr/Ligur.)

My take on Hastur/Ligur is that upon discovering the GO fandom you only *think* you're not going to like it, then somebody links you to daegaer's H/L stories and you're instantly hooked - well, that's what happened to me.

Not exactly what happened in my case. I was reading the book for the second or third time and the pairing breifly popped into my head. Next second I go "EW, nobody would seriously read that". Then I find the fandom.

I should have expected it, knowing what people in other fandoms read. The stuff in the Potter fandom is frankly scary - far, far worse than the H/L fics here.

Hehehe. Well, nasty, unpleasant, homicidal Dukes of Hell need love lust too.

Heh, there are a number of times when I've stumbled across a HP fic that has left me unable to open - or in one case even look at - the books without wincing and being forced to ward off an attack of bad mental images.

You have made my day. This was great, amazing, and a bunch of other adjectives that are not coming to my brain at this moment in time. I don't know where to begin in pointing out my favorite parts.

How, after all, was he supposed to become a sensitive yet tough high flyer to whom success didn’t actually matter, with the body of male model, the face of a boy band member, the eyes of a movie star and the soul of a poet - but not a depressive one - who could cook (whilst making sure that he still looked tough whilst doing it) and do DIY (but without being too macho about it) and dress stylishly (without of course being fixated with appearance).

Is so amazingly true that I almost fell over laughing.

Aww thank you :D I very glad you like it.

Heh, I did once overhear a male friend of mine being instructed to read women's magazines in order to better understand what his girlfriend would like him to be like. I dearly hoped that he wouldn't, owing to the fact that trying to fit this mould would probably require multiple personality disorder with a side order of manic depression.
