And he did eat of it

Yes, I know someone has already posted a post of extreme joy regarding Aziraphael and Crowley. I cannot, however, let the following slide:

*the angel's lips are very soft, and he tastes faintly of apple-blend tea.*

Aziraphael, I love you. Madly.

...the Angel with a smile that glow'd
Celestial rosy red, Love's proper hue,
Answer'd. "Let it suffice thee that thou know'st
Us happy, and without Love no happiness.
Whatever pure thou in the body enjoy'st
(And pure thou wert created) we enjoy
In eminence, and obstacle find none
Of membrane, joint or limb, exclusive bars:
Easier than Air with Air, if Spirits embrace,
Total they mix, Union of Pure with Pure
Desiring...
~Milton, Paradise Lost Book VIII, lines 618-627

This is the perfect summer to be reading Paradise Lost, I must say.

I hope Crowley doesn't kill Lyra, but I could not resist the temptation.

YOU ARE A GENIUS. I JUST SAW THAT.

WHY AM I YELLING?

Thank you!

Don't panic when the post disappears. I'm about to move the post out of that discussion and into the open bar, so as not to mess with the thread dynamic.

Ok. :)
