Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''"Suffer the little children to come unto me..."''}} ''Somewhere else, the happy ending was different.'' '''''[http://www.populli.net/thewritegirls/afrai/s0.html The Sacred and the Profane]''''' by Afrai is a retelling of ''[[~~Good Omens (Literature)\|~~Good Omens]]'' [[Canon]] with Aziraphale as the one who fell instead of Crowley. Don't worry, they're still instantly recognizable to anyone who's read the original book: Zirah is still a [[Affably Evil\|kindly]], [[Stepford Smiler\|smiling]] [[Cute and Psycho\|bookseller]], and Caphriel is still a sunglasses-wearing [[Deadpan Snarker]] [[The Fettered\|dedicated to his job]]. They've just been translated through a [[Deconstruction\|dented mirror]]. The plot, while rather condensed, is largely faithful to the events of the book, but with a [[Dark Fic\|couple of necessary tweaks]] to match [[Cute and Psycho\|Zirah]] and [[Knight in Sour Armor\|Caphriel]]'s characters. Maybe you ''should'' worry. And keep a box of tissues by your side while reading.
