Notes: I know this book isn't especially well known, but it's by one of my favorite authors, and I happen to be fond of it.  I'm very pleased that shalott managed to capture Steven Brust's wonderfully wry sense of humor, but I'm not surprised - she's good at pretty much everything she puts her hand to.  This fic may be too short for me, but it still made me very happy.

It's not hard to follow shalott's story, it's short, it just has two characters, and it's pretty much about the sex, anyway.   The only thing you really need to know is that this takes place in what will eventually called Heaven, fairly early on in the development of - pretty much everything.  The creatures that will someday be called angels and devils and demons and gods - well, they're brand new at this (having just recently developed consciousness/sentience/self-awareness?) so they're just learning what everything is about, and making up the rules as they go along.   So Lilith teaches Satan and Lucifer about sex, and then they decide to experiment on their own. 


Excerpt:

( Lucifer stared up at the ceiling and thought about how to answer the question. )



I rate this fic:  Pretty Damn Good
