I've been following your biblical fictions for as long as I can remember and I fell in love with your Asmodeus/Raphael fanfics since then, I started on F.Net and then moved on here and I really, really enjoy what you write about them, it's always a pleasure to read you and I always wait for more A/R fics :) So it's not a surprise that I say that I really enjoyed this Easter story. It reminded me of your other A/R fic "Alleluia" :) well, even if Raphael suffered a bit, but I can tell he's a strong character, and Jesus's apparence was a nice bonus :)

(and sorry for my english, it's not always very good and my only excuse is : it's not my mothertongue :/ )

Aww, thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you are still liking my stories. I know my interest in writing them comes in spurts, but I will always be fond of these characters. *grin*

It reminded me of your other A/R fic "Alleluia"
This is actually a rewrite of that story since "Alleluia" was from back in 2005--so old! XD It was fun to expand it and write more for Asmodeus and Raphael's interaction, and I enjoyed adding Jesus in there too.

(Don't worry, your English is great! ^^)

Thank you for this - so lovely and beautiful - I hope there will be more!!!

[tsuru_san]

Aww, thank you! I hope there'll be more, lol. *pokes muses*

Oh Asmodeus. You are so good at what you do. I love that his seeming softness actually lulled Raphael into responding, trusting that Asmodeus wouldn't harm him... up until he found his hands bound. And I was actually rather disappointed when Jesus showed up. Jesus, you cockblocker. :P XD

I'm also surprised Asmodeus said nothing about the hilarious tableau that had just played out with the two Marys and Jesus. XD

And now I can't wait for the next time, and for Jesus's words to Asmdoeus earlier to come true. :D

He's such an asshole, but I tolerate him running around my subconscious. XD Thanks! I really want him to make Raphael feel conflicted. Part of it, naturally, will be due to the fact that Raphael remembers Asmodeus as an angel, but Asmodeus's skill at seduction isn't something to be ignored either. *grin*

Lol, I could say something like Asmodeus was trying to be sneaky and didn't want Raphael to know how long he was watching, but the truth is the author didn't feel like continuing the crack. XDDD

Heh, yeah, I'm still not sure what to do with Raphael and Asmodeus in the end. So troublesome, these two.

[sirius_luva]

XD It definitely feels like he's making Raphael feel conflicted, so I'd chalk that up as a win! You do a really great job with that conflict, with what Raphael remembers of Asmodeus coupled with who Asmodeus is now.

XDDD I thought as much; didn't fit the tone of this part, did it?

*locks them in a room with a bed; the room will not unlock until the UST is resolved*

[tsuru_san]

Thank you! I definitely like the added element of them having been close in Heaven. It makes it much more believable that Raphael would tolerate or even enjoy some of demon!Asmodeus's advances and not smite him back to Hell.

Basically, yes. XD Honestly, I'm not quite sure that part belongs with the rest of the story, but I'm satisfied with how it's written so for now it stays.

HAHAHA.
