blackthorn_roses

I love it, I love it so much! Why did it take me so long to get your patreon 🤦‍♀️

JaadaMae

Gleafer!! Ugh I can’t sleep and my heart has been ripped out at 4 in the morning!! It’s the same reason why I had to stop reading the TSATO series by our amazing writers. I can’t handle my heart being crushed in my escape fantasies, life sucks too much as it is. Imma go color some of your fluffier coloring pages and try to sleep 💜😭

Gleafer

Thank you!

Gleafer

Thank you!

StrangersTellMeStuff

This is AMAZING. What an emotional ride! And the thought of Aziraphale hiding and protecting Crowley in hell… wow.

Jess Romeo

Ok, that made me emotional. Sincerely.

Glad you’re here and enjoying the soup!

Gleafer

Thank you!❤️❤️❤️

Bonnie Bergmann

Holy heck. I was not prepared for all this from an unsuspecting post on a Friday night. You are AMAZING

Gleafer

I’m just doing research to make sure I can print and sell. Hopefully yes!

Gleafer

Thank you!

WildeThyme

So much pain! The snake as Aziraphale's mark is such an interesting turn, I love it <3

Logan LaCapria

Please please let me know if/where you have prints for sale. Crossed fingers you will release a collection.

Lolalu16

Sometimes the hurt is even better than the smut!

Gleafer

Oh my goodness!!! What a lovely compliment!

Elenthya

Hey, I know this comics is quite an "old" one, but let me be clear, I LOVE IT and it's my favorite ever among all your comics. The Starmaker is gorgeous and adorable and his sacrifice still makes me cry each time i read this story. Aziraphale is kind and gentle and smart but OW he is so cool and powerful and so brave when he has to help and protect the Starmaker. Lucifer is a beautiful bastard and I only like him because he is why a so beautiful and canon-acurate story exists. So, thank you so much for this piece of art. I can't imagine their backstory in a other way now, your version is perfect.

NFC

Ooooo why am I like this, clutching my heart and crying to drown myself 🥹

Gleafer

I knoooooow!!! Fucking LUCIFER. Jerk.

KaeRaeSketches

The opening scene!! Little creator angel, AUGH, MY SOUL!! 😭💜😭💜

CrazyD

Gleafer

Thank you! I love it but it HURRRRTS

Turbulent Food

This is painfully amazing and the new canon for all time. Wooooooow.

Susan Montgomery

Ohh soo good!

Gleafer

Thank you!

ElysiumLeo

Oh my goodness. I didn't realize this was up here. I saw only saw a couple panels on the GOAD reddit, so i missed the entire story. This is so heartbreaking and beautiful! Aziraphale made Crowley HIS SNAKE to protect him! And Crowley fell to save Azi! Why am I not normal about these two beautiful idiots!!! 😭 stunning comic I can't handle the beauty!!

Savaial Addams

Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, every last panel and stroke.

Gleafer

I’m trying printing options after the holidays! Stay tuned

Gleafer

They love each other more than anything

Gleafer

Thank you!

Zolveig

Ruby Gold

What a story! Lucifer is truly menacing, and so are Michael and Gabriel. Oh how much they love each other to do the ultimate sacrifice for each other. It's a masterpiece

AubreyIsReading

I’m legitimately crying 😭

Marie Curious

I can't stop thinking about this!! It's burrowed itself in my brain and taken up permanent residence.

Katchooie

I would really love a physical copy of this. Not sure if that's possible

Waanmo

Bingo

Oh my God I'm so relieved it had a happy (even if tearful) ending. Sobbing into my cornflakes rn 😭

Gleafer

To VALHALLA!

Gleafer

I was crying when I drew it!

Gleafer

It’s part of a healthy morning routine!

Gleafer

Gleafer

Thank you!

Gleafer

Future plans for sure!

Gleafer

Now I’m curious. Drink up and give it a reread!😄😘

Gleafer

Gleafer

Poseyfae

You win the angst war in my book. 😭

Shadowfang

At this point I’ll be upset when Crowley’s fall is shown in season 3 cus it won’t be “gleafer canon compliant”

PeanutSally

Jertta Österlund

sparksearcher

Transplantedmate

Seconded!

Danee

Lol. You weren't joking. Tissues were needed. Thank you. That was beautiful. If this becomes a booklet or part of a grander book of your comics, id buy it. I dont have much but id buy it.

PocketSmarties

WWWAAAAHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭

Tardisbird

Wow. Just... Wow. There are no other words. Simply amazing art and the feels at the end rang true, oh my god well done!!

MxTHRTN

GLEAFER! You have outdone yourself. This is a masterpiece. You are an excellent storyteller. Thank you for sharing this with us, you deserve every euro I spent on you

Lady_today

This was so beautiful. Extremely painful, but also wonderful!

De Bergerac

Oh my. You are the best.

OGNarwhalz

GAAAAAAAHHH, I CAN'T EVEN WORDS PROPERLY! GLEAFER!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!! *foams at mouth* Please take my money--I would gladly buy a printed comic book of your stuff.

Blackdraumdancer

Oh, this is such a fantastic story arc! Tragic and beautiful, both of them trying to protect each other 😭💜 Beautiful art and beautiful story. Thank you. You slayed us all 😵

Jayde

AHHHH Jesus fucking Christ. I’m so glad I’m only on my first sip of my first glass of wine for the night because I’m in TEARS! Streaming down my cheeks. Could you imagine if I was drunk? Oh boy.

catartkd

Just reread all of this from start to finish. The implications are starting to sink in. I love that you kept Aziraphale as a strong, kind protector and that what he did was for Crowley's sake. Beautiful story 🥹❤️

Dante

I’m crying BLOOD

Bk Alba

ESTOY LLORANDO MUY FUERTE!!! QUE HERMOSOOOO 😭😭😭💖💖🛐🛐🛐

Julie

I am totally fine and not curled up with my Dr Who bear, weeping and messy. I am none of those things. I am fine. I AM FINNNNEEE *sob*

suchmeerkat

😭💕✨

Gleafer

OMG THANK YOU! ❤️

Dáša Čechová

well, fuuuuuck it's too early for so many tears! this was so beautiful, such a great story!

Soggyfritter

Eggie help I'm dead.

Erika

This is masterful. Literally the greatest backstory/explanation/anything I’ve seen in this fandom… nothing canon could do can top this. Stunning.

Marie

i am wrecked...... Aziraphale's mark all along. This is just exquisite and crushing and gorgeous

Gleafer

Thank you!

Gleafer

*bows and then immediately passes out*

Maloni

You broke me and put me together and I think my heart has thawed and can love again now. This was dreadfully beautiful.

Egg

Sobbing. Uncontrollably sobbing

Hazel

Oh my god, I'm actually crying - poor Crowley, holy shit, and poor Aziraphale holding on to that for SO long!!! Lucifer is truly terrifying in this, it's horrifying, and Michael and Gabriel were also so sinister. This is a MASTERFUL comic and I'm broken!

Little

Srsly

ohsoldier

WHAT THE FUCK??? THIS IS THE BEST??? THING I"VE SEEN???? HOLY FUCK??? SHIT??

NanaCreamTart

YES! GOD DAMN IT THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! ╰⁠(⁠*⁠´⁠︶⁠`⁠*⁠)⁠╯

Gleafer

SHUT UP BECAUSE IM DEFINITELY CRYING AND I DREW IT! *talk about punching yourself in the Crotch!

Meinir Rhos

TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES I might though. Thanks.

Soggyfritter

SHUT UP I'M NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

coconfetti

Insane how enthralling and engrossing this comic has been. I love it so much. Was that blood on Lucifer's fist in the page where he's standing behind Aziraphale and Crowley? Did he not confront them then, or...? When Crowley says "before it tears you apart", I wonder if that alludes to Lucifer being willing to actually tear Aziraphale apart...gosh! Is this the last they see of each other before the fall, and the garden?

Jade Valentine

I was sorely tempted to write a fic on this with just the initial pages BUT NOW??? hoooboy.

CraftyGirlAlley

Oh my god. Pardon me while I drown in my tears

pie_irl

I can't believe you've done this

Gleafer

That’s why sleeves were invented!!!

Cherry🍒

My heart!!!

Jayde

I didn’t need this 😭😭😭😭😭

Jertta Österlund

NOOOOOOOO!!!! AGONYYYYYY!! I knew Crowley wouldn't say that to his Angel and mean it😭😭

shirts.no.skirts

*frantic search for tissues* WHAT IF I CRIED HUH?? WHAT IF?? 😭😭😭

flashbastards

“little angel” 😭😭😭😭

OGNarwhalz

*Darth Vader pose* NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Emily

Instant KO. Not ever going to recover from Crowley and the Starmaker holding Aziraphale by the jaw the same way in 1 and 12

Zee

You MONSTER! I adore it.😉 Hurt so good!

Poseyfae

Oh Crowley! His poor sweet heart!

Singlest_Pringle

Omg I love it when my tears season my morning coffee, what a nice flavor (THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US)

CousinSerena

Driving his sweet little angel away to protect him, but Aziraphale doesn’t understand 😭😭😭😭😭

liz.

Jeeezus. Oh my heart.

Meghan

Ouch. My feelings 🥺

dotfuls

The emotions! Lucifer what did you doooo

Morag

💔

Katchooie

🥺😭

Tardisbird

So beautiful and so devastating!! 😰

Hazel

Also, the "Or my love will tear you apart" felt like very deliberate phrasing and it hurts my soul! Not Lucifer as his love, Crowley's actual love would cause Aziraphale's destruction and he can't abide by it 😭😭😭

Hazel

Oh my god, Gleafer!!!! I thought it was Lucifer disguised as Crowley somehow (and was waiting for him to crush the snake as a message), but that was even more heartbreaking!!! Crowley having to say those things??? He was looking at the snake to steel himself for what he had to do 😭 And they were in love 😭😭😭

howdidigethere

Oh no, oh little doves, noooo!!!!! 😭

Gleafer

*steps on gas*

Gleafer

Stubbed your toe? It smarts.

Gleafer

Is…is that a happy sob?

Khlara

Ow

Hanne

STOP MY HEART

Tigerowl

This is so good in so many painful ways. You’re bringing out my masochistic tendencies. I’m here for it. Green all the way.

Anna Bird

oh my loves 😭

DARLENE S

Cause of death: Severe dehydration from excessive crying

Xpouii

HOLY SHIT OKAY this got WOW??? So many layers! So many teeeeears!!

Crystal Silhouette

Nyooo.. I didn't need anything to smile about today. That's cool. Not about their giggles. Or their smooch. Or their happy little found moments. No. No I'm good. Poop on smiles.

Casey Swann

😢

Ashfae

AUGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHHHH

HayleyDBZ

oh yeah im starting my day with a sob

Lady_today

Now that hurt…

Tris

Ow my heart I didn't need that

Danee

Still breaks my heart. Beautiful workmanship! *claps*

SpaceGiraffe

"Or my love will rip you apart" 😭😭😭

Gleafer

Good soup.

Ring

It’s heartbreaking and beautiful and sexy all at the same time. I love it

OkamiYumee

I'm dying... my heart... but I can't stop! Argh why are you so good at this? I want more. I NEED MORE OF THIS!

Marie

The way you go back and forth between the brutal panels and the tender panels is just agonizing. Poor sweet Aziraphale. And poor angel-Crowley. What a heartache. :(

Gleafer

No, that was LAST Tuesday. Today is Throat Punch Thursday.

EmJab

Critical hit!! 😭💔

fiddlegoblin

oh no... my heart 💔 why would you do this to us? I thought today was supposed to be TWO TURTLEDOVES!

Gleafer

I know.😭

NanaCreamTart

OH GOD ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡

Nina GajaLuthien

Noo... please send help, my heart is broken

De Bergerac

Oh my…

dotfuls

HELP THIS IS AMAZING

Gleafer

Oh Crowley’s Coven was just a side quest to smooooooth out the angst. It’s not part of the story

Анастасія

Will this story have another ending without witches?) I like them a lot. But this first picture (as for me) asks about some angst ending

Katchooie

This is really beautiful Gleafer. Love the little snake gift. Love your wily gorgeous imagination.

Shevyce

Wait I only saw the first part on ig, I’m only just seeing this?!?! I need to know what else happens!

Tygerlily

This is just…everything. Cute little innocent baby angels 😭

Jade Valentine

Aziraphale made snakes for Crowley. T_T I AM NOT OKAY.

LoonyMoony

Ugh I love this so much. You feed us like kings!

Gabriela Esqueda

Nooo, protect my babies T^T

Marie

^^^^ all.of.this. ^^^^

Gleafer

Hours!

Cosette

more more more i need more 😩 it’s deliciously painful

howdidigethere

Lil Lulu is so mean!!!! Protect the snake, Azi!!

Poseyfae

Omg the idea that Crowley's snake form started from Aziraphale is too much! I love it!

JP

OMG, the beginning of this story touched my heart! Please, don't stop, I want to know more!

Yves Riba

Amazing comic! I’m curious, how long does it take you to create this pages? You’re so prolific! ❤️

Calculated

The wee bird (and that amazing snake) and Crowley being so sweet with it melted me, you made tiny beautiful animals part of their love language ❤️

BlackOfJuly .

Lucifer was the first a$$hole before a$$holes were even invented. I love this so much!! Curious, kind Crowley, brave, compassionate Aziraphale, brightened up the day after a harrowing visit to the dentist. SIGH!!

BlackOfJuly .

*gets into my car* It doesn't kill, it only maims,would that be sufficient? :-D

Little

Incredible so far. I love Lucifer as beautiful, possessive, and vengeful. You can see the fall anyway, brilliant. And the nightingale and snake! My poor heart!

Mella26

It really hurt to see Azi cry because of Lucifer… and what he did to Crowley later!!! 😢😢😢 He’s just the worst!

Xpouii

God they’re all so beautiful! The flow of the hair and the tears and their eyes my lord this series is just heartbreaking and gorgeous as fuck. I am HOOKED

KellyA

I didnt think I wanted to read this angst but finally gave in and now I'm obsessed

Gleafer

LOL “NOT YOU, Lucifer!”

Depraved Dame

Screaming and crying and unhealthily OBSESSED

Megh

woah 🫢

Crystal Silhouette

Oh, precious angels! I love this so much. Sweet, caring boys. Thank you, Crowley! Thank you, Zira! (Not you, Lucifer!) Thank you, Gleafer!!

HayleyDBZ

this plot is so incredibly interesting. ugh lucifer. the angst. it's so good

HayleyDBZ

"i made it wavy... like your hair!" IM OFFING MYSELF THEYRE SO CUTE I COULD ACTUALLY DIE

liz.

Oh.

Constanzel

The DRAMA

bildaddybaddie

OK now I want to see Lucifer hit by a car like Metatron 😭

Gleafer

😬

Julie

So no one's gonna talk about *what* bird Azi just created? I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, YOU MAGNIFICENT BEAST.

Gleafer

Oooooosssssorry

Shel

i’m going to throw up /pos

Khlara

This is really awesome

Gleafer

Bring it!

Gleafer

Same (((hugs)))

clara moore

This is so gorgeous ❤️ and I love the narrative so so much - your brain is just delightful

Tardisbird

I live how you draw heaven in a more minimalist style, it looks really cool! I saw the first panel on GOAD and completely lost my shit, it's so intense and so good!!

Monica Mitchell

This is gut wrenching. And I love it. So much. 😍

Marie Curious

So much of this is going to be my headcanon forever. It's so beautiful and heart crushing, and elating and devastating!

Ashfae

Oh GOSH. I'd seen parts of this but in order, ohhh....oh wow. Ahhhh.

Kotias Camorra

Gleafer. I WILL get revenge for this.

IneffablyRuined

I said it before and I'll say it again. You make even the fluff hurt!! Agghhhh I can't wait for more.

Jertta Österlund

I love IT. Hurts good but it's also so pretty and cute

Ceri

I can tell this is going to hurt like hell and I am totally here for it! Love it!! Xx

Morag

So hurt...

Hazel

Oh fuck, this might kill me... I'm genuinely so terrified of Lucifer! Crowley's kindness makes me want to cry, and Aziraphale being beaten down but still creating, specifically for Crowley 😭😭😭

Danee

I have such rage and hate for Lucifer.

Dante

I’m going to VOMIT oh my god. Aziraphale creating things! For Crowley! You’re brain is ineffable.

DARLENE S

Tears tears everywhere 😭

A.Z.Hampton

Ahhhh I missed a bunch of these on GOAD! This is fantastic!

Imaanyi

This is so heartbreaking even though it's just the beginning. How vulnerable both Crowley and Aziraphale are here...and how happy. Can you hear my heart? *shatter* 💔

Lady_Pangolin

I love this so much, I hope you'll keep on drawing this serie !

Venturous

Oh! Darlings, watch out! Get away from them, you fiend! What a collision of unbearable sweetness and dread.😰

Casey Swann

Wow. I love the bird thing and how Lucifer has this horrible edge to him though he’s so beautiful. I love the snake and how they’re marveling over it like children. I love that you call him Starmaker. There’s so much world in this story already. I want to expand on it!

Alwysthere42

❤️‍🔥 i honestly can’t choose a favorite from all your storylines and art!! This is an especially good blend of pain and softness though, and your ideas are GORGEOUS (snake origin and significance, the toxic Lucifer relationship)!! Very NNNGHH. Bravo 👏 💋🕊️🥂🐍

De Bergerac

Oh mama. I’m ready to get hurt once more.

PSYgoth13

OH GOODNESS I WANNA CRY AND GO ON A RAMPAGE KCIDSHDFB unfortunately the abusive behavior from Lucifer is...recognizable for me and it makes my heart hurt for Crowley, you continue to outdo yourself Gleafer! ❤️

Hanne

I love this !

Egg

😭😭😭😭😭😭 i’m just going to stop asking why and let this all wash over me…

Caroline

Aziraphale is such a sweet baby angel and Lucifer is such a bastard, and I can’t stand what he did to the Starmaker. And Aziraphale and the Starmaker are so sweet together, them and their adorable little snek, and I know it can’t end well… *I am so invested* and *this is so gorgeous*

Marie

Okay, I really dig that you discovered the origin story of the mark on Crowley. That's now my headcanon and I love it. Gosh, the tenderness you worked into this between Aziraphale and the Angel-That-Will-Be-Crowley. Lovely!!
