When I began reading, I was skeptical. I continued reading because of the number of favs the fic gathered. I thougth, that EVERYTHING was wrong with this story, so wrong it actually felt right and justified the more I read. I almost felt like it was something that the world of GO would accept. It is a reversed, twisted version of GO, but the storytelling and style is amazing! A real masterpiece.
Afrai's fic leaves you wounded and betrayed, but also satisfied in a strange, bitter way.

LOVED this, 10/10. I hadn't read it in probably 14 years but the title percolated up in my brain earlier this evening and I thought, oh, I liked that one. That one hurt SO GOOD.

And it hurt so good again! Glorious work, well done. Exactly the right proportions of vague to specific - exactly the right amount of leaving the reader to fill in the blanks. Thanks for this.

Idk

any usage of superlatives would seem gauche in response to this fic but. oh well. the bestest and saddest thing ive read.

Re-reading this fanfic for the second time and it feels like I'm reading it again for the first time. Held my breath at every moment being unfolded and captivated by how beautifully dark and twisted this was. I genuinely would love to see this being recreated on screen at some sort.

My poor heart, I cried deeply until the Epilogue of how it was painfully, and beautifully written.

My only wish is if they could see each other again. (This is why I want to believe in reincarnation)

Well done.

I heard there’s an extra epilogue somewhere but I’ve been trying to find it for so long, please- if someone can find it can you just post how how got it please?

That was.. MUCH DARKER.. than I thought it would be. Yet, totally within character! If Aziraphale had become a demon, he would absolutely be Like That. same with Crowley. I really enjoyed it!

*screams*

This fic is an experience!

I came back to read this after having read the previous chapters a good long while ago. And, knowing me and my reading habits, it'll probably take me ages to finish the rest of this fic. But I can see why I wanted to, and will keep wanting to, come back. The atmosphere that is conveyed, especially when in Caphriel's and Zirah's point-of-view, is strikingly expressive. Take that, and the frequent allusions to the original book, and this wonderfully written fic makes for a great, entertaining, partly-contemplative read. I very much enjoyed Anathema's and Newt's introductions into the narrative, too. Thank you for sharing, afrai!

Oh, God. Literally.

This was so good. It's very strange to see Aziraphale twisted like this, but it rings true. Crowley is a very understated demon, but Zirah is superlative. Thank you for sharing.

Oh fuck that hurt

Fantastic.

I don't even know what to say. Seriously. Thank you for this amazing piece of fiction. Zirah broke my heart, I loved the both of them. You did an amazing job, thank you so much for sharing this.
