Wow! So many layers in this fic--I don't know how you do it. You could spend years telling the rest of this story. I hope you do. :-)

As Mr. Harris is fond of saying whenever he stumbles across yet another example of the First Evil actively encouraging and then taking advantage of human failing or human evil, “We have met the enemy, and it is us.”

Nice tie-in with AtS's theme of hell on Earth.

I am so very blown away by this fic. It's a masterpiece.
