yes. it is a 90k word fanfic. yes i absolutely loved it. i was sobbing by the end of it. the angst. the fluff of it all. anyways, iconic.

I have read this story four times now. And each and every time it takes my breath away.

This is a story that is unafraid to show brokenness, and pain, and love, and identity in all its ugly beautiful complexity.

You’re still here. I’m still here. We are worthy of love and we are not alone.

Few stories have me feeling so seen—leave me hopeful and wrecked all at once. It’s a masterpiece. Thank you Mia for writing it.

the characterisation was stunning and the writing was so gripping and poetic i feel like im going insane i need to tattoo this fic onto every inch of me AHHHH

their love felt real and their choices felt so human and they were written with so much care and even the plot of Warlock was perfectly written

the ending was perfect and i sobbed, especially at crowley’s bit to The Guardian

crowley was allowed to be a mess and have faults and have to ask for help, and aziraphale was allowed to be human and have his own problems he needed to deal with before he could get his happy ending and i appreciated the care that was put into it. the ending felt earned

i am so unwell this doesn’t even make sense if u need me i’ll be sobbing in the corner

Nothing to say actually like when something is that good what is there left to say?

[C's · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yeah, this is probably the best thing I've ever read.

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best love stories I’ve ever read in my life. I was not ready. The reputation it has in the fandom is earned. You don’t even have to be one of us to read this. It’s so good. How am I supposed to go to sleep now?
Oh also it has smutty bits AND they’re some of the best written I’ve come across.
Can be found on AO3.

I feel like people don't understand the words I am saying when I tell them that some of the very best books I have ever read in my life are fan fiction produced by anonymous people on the internet, for free. This is one of those god-tier works.
The twisty inner world of complex people, the slow painful waking and breaking and remaking of hearts-- growth! Change! True love! Wow. Just wow.

yes, here goes another fanfiction. this was 213 pages long so i'm glad i can log it. and yes, i fell down the good omens rabbit hole. that being said, i could never say no to celebrities!AU and this was not an exception!!! loved it until the very end and for some reason this fic has over fifty fics about it??? that is how good it is.

[Jangyvee · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a damn masterpiece.

Incredibly funny writing, great characterisations, big feels, moments so relatable you want to throw cookies at the characters (hard.), clever re-writing/integration of the original story, and really nice scene building.
I have slept 3 hours tonight to devour this in one sitting. I regret nothing.

95.505 words

if this was printed on paper and there was a fire i would want to save it before everything else. it's the most deeply human, deeply intense and wonderfully all-consuming thing i've ever been so lucky to read. my forever favorite

si Mia_ugly tiene 5 millones de fans yo soy una de ellas
si Mia_ugly tiene 100 fans yo soy una de ellas
si Mia_ugly solo tiene una fan, esa soy yo
si Mia_ugly no tiene ninguna fan es porque ya no estoy en este mundo

the end of season 2 got me reading fan fiction for the first time in nearly two decades 😩 we deserved this one after our collective trauma

i listened to the podfic version of this by Podfixx on ao3 and had such a delightful time. i rate everything based on my enjoyment of it so you may not be able to trust my rating on it but it really was just so fucking fun. (there was a good amount of angst though that’s partly why it was so enjoyable.)
it’s just so unbelievably good
