Why You Should Read This: This fic is beautiful. The writing style is simple and sparse, but it’s so effective. If you’ve seen the movie City of Angels this fic will feel familiar, though I promise this has a happier ending. Ray is an angel tasked with determining whether humans have a soul, and Ray is an angel that loves humanity. This fic made me tear up, it was so beautiful.
