Thanks and yes, I took it as a wonderful compliment, so thank you again for persevering. I knew when writing that I was going to have a very limited readership. I figured if the pairing wasn't enough of a turn-off then the warnings would have most people hitting the back button damn quick.

There was a very fine line between not revealing Sam's plan to early and giving enough subtle hints and details that confuse the reader. I'd hope on a second reading things were a bit clearer.

Strangely, Lucifer's dream took me the longest to work out. I really had to think about what Lucifer would want and how to convey it when I was really short on words. So, of course, he would want God to prove His love for him by slaughtering Mankind.

I hope so too. I do have some ideas to include in my extended version that will expand on a lot of the scenes, including what happens next.
