This was all kinds of gorgeous. I really liked how you portrayed Sharpe, first and foremost. I love that he is slightly unpleasant, not at all "noble" in his behaviour or in his language and that yet from the start there is something in his actions that show us so clearly why the devil has his problems with him. It makes him so likable that he can still enjoy the little things, that maybe he seems a bit egoistic at the beginning when he's having dinner while other people are dying, but that really he is just realistic and quite down to earth and all that. And yeah, he has a liking for gems and the lasses but it's nothing close to an obsession or anything.
And then Lucifer. God, he's gorgeous. I think what I liked best was his monologue. I don't really go for those in fics all that often because one person talking for such a long time hardly ever works. But it was perfect here - we feel just as enthralled as Sean does. And the way he retells Sharpe's life, all that subtle blasphemy mixed with this so likeable humour - and Sharpe's reaction to him is pure gold as well, he does react (and strongly so) but he isn't gonna be nice and proper about it.
I really, really enjoyed this :). Thank you for sharing!
