I might have watched it eight times already. And have plans to watch it again tonight.

Thanks for the feedback!

Your point about there being, effectively, two stories in there has me wondering what it would be like to revisit the interlude at some point in the future and show all those moments that I think got lost in the rush of enthusiasm to make them an official agent pair and get them into missions.

Maybe there's a version with two parts, one that has an angel and a demon bumping into one another and hesitantly deciding that there isn't really much of a reason to smite one another now that the Apocalypse has been averted, and getting to know one another as they go and see the sights, before ending on them finding a portal. The second, introducing them to this strange new world and having each of them come to grips with the fact that their partner and once sworn enemy is really the only island of familiarity they have in this sea of weirdness.

I think that might be fun.

But, since we're here at this point in the story, I think we'll play up that dynamic of opposites that makes them so interesting to write (and hopefully fun to read).

And it looks like Ix has gone back to get the typo, so I've managed to avoid having to do anything helpful once again. Hooray!

I think you had a point about the two seeming to get used to each other too quickly, but while Aegis and I were writing, we were also trying to go for "unfamiliar world with unfamiliar rules, cling to the familiar thing". Naturally, once they get over the initial shock, certain, er, rivalries might be making a comeback. We're already a good chunk of a way into their first mission together and they're already squabbling. :P

Zaphoriel would definitely be quite confused by the question, at least until he starts checking out their home canon. He'd probably laugh the second time he heard it.

The general idea behind the decor was that it belonged to a Sith agent once upon a time who got sent home with their memory wiped because it turned out they were not, in fact, reformed. But that's really just a background detail that probably won't be expanded on.

I'll take a look for the typo in a bit. :)

I'm not sure I have an actor I'd pick for Faust at the moment, actually. It's difficult to act impish without coming across as completely irredeemable, which (hopefully) describes Faust. If anyone has any suggestions for slim, blond British actors with a certain catlike, mischievous quality, though, I'm all ears. :P

I'm glad you enjoyed the read, though! And particularly glad to hear others are enjoying the chemistry specifically, since it's the thing I personally found most appealing about the idea of the agent pair. Bouncing demons off of angels is deeply amusing to me—at least if you throw them hard enough.

...I was half-thinking of young!Tilda Swinton for Zaphoriel. :P

We already have a fic half-picked out for their first mission together and arcs planned out for the two of them. Hopefully we can keep up the interesting dynamic!
