I didn't see this twist coming at all, but it's very clever, and a fitting end, I think :)
Loved all the little jokes in here, though I laughed out loud at: "There's an awkward moment where you wonder if you can get away with pretending you had spoken to the actual angel."
And this: "Kizurial is happier to provide exposition than anyone else you’ve met."
I won't spoil it for those who've yet to read, but I'm very happy with this. Thank you for finishing this story - it was well worth the wait. Excellent.
The Day Tarzan Left Jane For You, His True Love Sarsa.
Oh, You!
Chapter 5
And that was a fitting ending to the story! I'll admit, I'll miss You, but honestly, I'm a little bit in love with Kizurial. If all seraphs were nerds, I might find that faith a tad more appealing.
Now, it would probably be entirely inappropriate for me to mention the utter novelty of a no-sex chapter, but somehow it was not only fitting, but it also managed to make me think less than pure thoughts, which is a lovely trick (and possibly inspiration).
So, thank you! For the chapter, and for the story of You! :D
"I've got a review! Thirty stories uploaded, hundreds of chapters between them, thousands of hits and finally, a review on my newest story!"
Awww it was just: "You forgot to add the resemblance clause to your disclaimer."
:)
I know who you are now. I know how your story ends.
Meep! *runs and hides*
In contrast, I don't know anything! Who am I? Who is this Great Uncle Todd? And if he's rich enough to have a library why am I living in a semi-detached council house in the rural suburbs of the bad side of the city?
Is the entire thing an illusion? Who the hell is the second dead guy? How come he wasn't afraid when he died? That seems like a pretty neat trick, and rare enough to take notice of. I need more clues - I am the intellectual equivelent of a small spaniel dog faced with the Times cryptic crossword.
The YAOI overdose thing made me giggle, as did the Kate and Lupa banter.
I hope you'll write another chapter soon, and answer some of these questions. I mean, do I like girls?
So they've got the book that started all of this, if indeed it was that. I'm starting to think this goes back a little further. I could be wrong...
Thank you, JayDee :)
I actually might have peed a little when I saw that you'd updated this story!
OMG, poor guy, he's not going to be happy when he reads up on what he missed. I think I may have preferred to be stuck reading one of Sarsa's stories to witnessing the mess that was 2016.
Happy you're back at it.

Oh, poor You! Just when You think it can't get any worse... an HP Mary-Sue fic written by Sarsa... ::shudders quite theatrically::
I quite like Lupa, however. Vampires with attitude work for me, but poor Kate was trapped with You in that nightmare for over a year! Although come to think of it, the trap explains everything from Bowie dying to people being stupid enough to vote Brexit and elect a Cheeto.
It's lovely to have You back, and you, too, JayDee! :D
Marvellous, and well worth waiting for! :)
Although, I'm not sure I'd want to learn about 2016 all at once. The obituary section alone... *cringes*
I did have a little laugh about all his political expectations. I think just learning there'd been another Labour leadership election would have sent me into meltdown. Hell, it did that in real time.
Sarsa must be stopped! But how? And I do like the new characters... there's a little team of heroes forming here. I'll keep watching the news to see if they're winning... ;)
So glad to see you writing again, JayDee!
