Revision as of 09:24, 8 January 2014
Manchester Lost by JAMoczo is a very funny Good Omens Crack Fic / Action Adventure / (non-explicit) Slash Fic in which Aziraphale is captured by Hell and Crowley, War and the Archangel Michael (on a Mission From God) break in to save him and set off a second apocalypse. It introduces entertaining characterizations of other angels such as Michael, Raphael (Aziraphale's adopted father), Gabriel, and Uriel. It's a self parodying Affectionate Parody with many interesting twists and turns along the way.
It is technically a sequel to How Crowley Fell Out of Love with the Bentley (which is a sequel to Good Omens). Manchester Lost has a sequel itself, which is complete: Paradise Thwarted. Now Paradise Thwarted has its own page too!
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
This fanfic contains examples of:
- Accidental Marriage - Aziraphale's last name has technically been 'Crowley' for the past 500 years or so; they both thought that the other had arranged the divorce.
- Action Girl - Sister Prudence

- Big Damn Heroes - Many moments, often subverted.
- Bond Villain Stupidity - Lucifer
- Chekhov's Gun - the chocolate muffin Rafael tucks away after the Archangels visit the diner in chapter 8 resurfaces when he shoves it in Uriel's mouth after the latter attempts to smite Zira in chapter 15. May double as a Brick Joke or a Chekhov's Gag depending on the reader's sense of humor.
