Why this must be read:
Because GO is just one stand-alone book, fanfic writers are adept at finding the inbetween spaces where stories go untold: GO moves at a fairly frenetic pace and glosses over large periods of time, and that's where gems like this lie in wait, sparkling. Aziraphale and Crowley spend eleven years as "godfathers" to a child they think is the Antichrist, and in that time, they really get to know each other after 6,000 years acquainted--and start to realize they like what they find. This story is beautifully written and simply vibrates with Apocalyptic anxiety and awakening passion, restrained and sublimated in snark and slithering out into expression through art and music. The breathtaking evocation of Stravinsky is the pitch-perfect vicarious climax. Fantastic descriptions, biting humor, and dialogue that is wonderfully, utterly, them.
