Oh elisi, this is so perfect and beautiful and worth waiting for! I re-read The Deft, Sweet Gesture Of Your Hand before reading this, and you've continued that story's themes and ideas and characterisation so beautifully. I love everything you've done here! I love all the poetry, I love that Crowley's response is Madonna (!), I love the explanation for the 'holy water', I love the confrontation with Gabriel, I love all of it! (I love, for obvious vidding reasons, this line: he smiles as he thinks that they’re like stars orbiting each other, unable to ever escape each other’s gravity <3)

Will definitely be reading this so many times. Thank you for writing it.
