[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5694906/1/bParadise_b_bThwarted_b Paradise Thwarted]] by JA{{Tropers/Moczo}} is the Sequel to Fanfic/ManchesterLost. It picks up several years afterwards, when humans regain memories of the two apocalypses almost happening to them. This leads to humanity declaring war on both Heaven and Hell. As a result, Above and Below have to join forces against mankind.

[[SarcasmMode That's going to end well...]]

The story is as big in the LampshadeHanging and SelfParody department as the previous installment and very much worth a read if you enjoyed its prequel.

Now has a sequel called ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13233164/ Lawn of the Dead]]''.

Warning: Spoilers for the prequel will be unmarked, since this a sequel.

Article still under construction, come and help?

!!This Fanfic contains examples of:

* ActionGirl: Pepper, whose main job it is to beat up demons from Adam in hell. Also, War.
** And the woman who shot Crowley.
* AlwaysChaoticEvil: Some members of the Forces of Hell just ''cannot'' get their acts together. Lucifer's army check before the climax is more of a "who's still alive" check, and a few more die in the climax because there's just certain angels they ''really'' want to kill.
* AnimeHair: Belial does it to make himself look taller.
* BackForTheFinale: Sister Prudence of the order of Our Most Holy Lady of the Righteous Smiting.
* BadassLabcoat: What else could Pestilence be wearing?
* BadassLongcoat: Michael wears one.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: God may be rather laid-back, but he is still very much [[TheOmnipotent the Almighty]], as he shows when [[spoiler: he intervenes after Metatron's FaceHeelTurn.]]
* BigBad: In the end, the main foe is the new AntiChrist, Evilosoth, whom humanity rallied behind because they think he's on their side (he's really on no one's and just finds angels and demons more fun to kill).
** The head of the human's Manifest Destiny movement, who turns out to be [[spoiler: Aziraphale and Crowley's goddaughter, Aziraphale Pulsifier, and Agnes Nutter reincarnate to boot.]]
* BigNo: At the return of [[spoiler: Inner Hastur]].
* BloodKnight: Evilosoth has no empathy and is only killing angels and demons instead of humans because he finds it more satisfying.
* BrickJoke: With actual [[IncrediblyLamePun bricks]]!
** Also one involving the main running gag from the previous story shows up after the climax.
** It's mentioned early on that Bobiel once got involved in illegal animal smuggling [[EpicFail despite never leaving Heaven]]. We later see what happened- Belial tricked him into giving Belial a Celestial Rabbit (which Belial intended as a gift for Uriel)
* ButtMonkey: Steve the demon. No one likes the poor guy.
** Also Bobiel, the worst angel in Heaven. He cries a lot.
* CharmPerson: Evilosoth's Antichrist Charisma influences humans into following him despite the fact that he's ObviouslyEvil.
* CloudCuckooLander: Uriel, still.
* CoolCar: Crowley's Bentley, as always.
* DarknessVonGothickName: Evilosoth. Jesus eventually resorts to calling him 'E' because of how embarrassing it is to say the name.
* DistractedByTheSexy: As can be expected, just about everyone when Belial is around. Even [[ObliviousToLove Uriel]].
-->'''Uriel''': I like it when you talk.
* DopeSlap: Plenty.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: The Metatron is annoyed about how dismissive the archangels are of him. [[FaceHeelTurn With really bad consequences.]]
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Do they ever have to!
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Little Aziraphale in flashbacks.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Humanity is worried about this, leading them to fight Heaven and Hell. [[spoiler: And it happens, though it's not too bad when it does.]]
* EnemyMine: Heaven and Hell team up. It goes badly. Or well. It's a bit ineffable.
** It ends up going how God hoped it would, at the very least. [[spoiler: Lucifer back as an archangel and all.]]
* EpicFail: Bobiel once managed to get involved in illegal animal smuggling despite never leaving heaven (Belial tricked him into giving up a Celestial Rabbit).
** Also, when he is used to create better blessed weapons, they're good against ''angels''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Invoked by fangirls, of all people, over the possibility of a Raphael/Uriel pairing
* TheEvilPrince: Subverted. Adam may have taken the open position of Prince of Hell after death, but he's no worse than in canon or Fanfic/ManchesterLost.
* FaceHeelTurn: Subverted with Crowley, while he Falls again, everyone knows he's on Heaven's side and Lucifer doesn't even tally him among the forces of Hell. He doesn't even count as "the traitor" thanks to [[spoiler: Belial]] recently getting that place.
** Metatron plays it straight.
* [[FanGirl Fangirls]]: Get their own layer in hell, with their punishment being that their [=OTP=] is always wrong. They spend all their time engaging in shippping wars.
* FantasticArousal: Involving halos, apparently.
* FascinatingEyebrow: Gabriel can raise an eyebrow so high that Michael wonders if it has its own gravitational pull.
* FootnoteFever: But of course.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Evilosoth was raised to be one of these, as the previous antichrist's personality and attachment to life meant that he became an AntiAntiChrist. Well, [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor they got their]] [[GenericDoomsdayVillain Generic]] [[OmnicidalManiac Doomsday]] [[GenericDoomsdayVillain Villain]], [[GoneHorriblyRight all right...]]
* GroinAttack: [[spoiler: Gabriel to Michael.]]
* GoneHorriblyRight: The second Antichrist, Evilosoth. The text describes him thus:
--> What needs to be said is that he was conditioned a little too well. While the First had become [[AntiAntiChrist too attached to life]], the Second [[TheSociopath had no attachment whatsoever]]. He cared not for the Plan or the Anti-Plan or even plans in general. He wanted to fulfill his purpose in bringing about [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the End]], [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor but not in the way that he was expected to]]. He wanted destruction. He wanted chaos. He wanted an end to all things, including himself. His Purpose was to lead Hell to victory, but he did not want any victors in the war to come. [[OmnicidalManiac He wanted total and complete annihilation]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Technically, Lucifer, though Uriel didn't give him too much choice and God made the deal too good to refuse. He's still a jerk, though.]]
* IdiotBall: How could [[spoiler: Metatron]] think that lying to an omnipotent being to his face was a good idea? Lampshaded by Gabriel, of course.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Gabriel.
* LampShading: Lots and lots of it, sometimes with the trope names quoted.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Evilosoth the Conqueror, Destroyer of Worlds, [[GoneHorriblyRight Adam's replacement Antichrist.]]
* NoYou: Usually between Michael and Lucifer.
* ObliviousToLove: Uriel. Or at least oblivious to seduction.
* OfficialCouple: Played with, as [[SamusIsAGirl Jesus]] and Pepper both admit they didn't take Adam because they were sure the other would ask him any day, and decide to work something out. Adam wonders why no one asked him.
** Michael gets a weird end of this in the epilogue.
** As always, Crowley and Aziraphale.
* OhCrap: Loads, especially in the climax.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: Michael once stepped on the head of Steve the Demon, and now that's the only thing anyone remembers Steve for. It doesn't help that Steve hasn't done anything remotely demonic other than that.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Both Gabriel and Lucifer toward Michael.
* PapaWolf: Raphael. Also a heavy case of BewareTheNiceOnes
* PsychicNosebleed: Uriel gets one of the "bleeding from the ears" variety when trying to [[spoiler: keep Evilosoth's CoolAirship from crashing down onto everyone.]]
* [[RecapEpisode Recap Chapter]]: The introduction is this, with Crowley and Aziraphale telling the somewhat nerfed events of Fanfic/ManchesterLost to their godchildren. [[spoiler: This turns out to be a ChekhovsGun leading to ID-ing the BigBad]]
* RememberedICouldFly: Uriel never seems to remember he has wings.
* SamusIsAGirl: [[spoiler:Dämonverderben]]
* SelfInsertFic: Apparently, [[spoiler:Uriel]] writes these types of fanfiction.
* ShoutOut: Far too many to name...
---> '''Michael:''' ''[[VideoGame/MischiefMakers A hero in shining armor has been called upon!]] [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess A land in turmoil has cried out for a hero!]] [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse1983 I have the power,]] to engage in [[VideoGame/BaldursGate butt-kicking for goodness!]] [[Film/SuddenImpact So go ahead, make my day!]] [[WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers By your powers combined, I am]] [[Main/ArchangelMichael Field Commander of the Army of God, One of the Chief Princes, Advocate of Israel, One Who is Like God, Angel of the Presence, Chief of the Virtues and Archangels, Angel of Truth, the Warrior, Defender of Christians, Patron Saint of Chivalry, Patron Saint of Warriors, Captain of the Host of the Lord, Prince of Light, Viceroy of Heaven, Prince of Israel, First of the Seven Who Stand Before the Lord, Archistratege of God, Prince of Primordial Fire, the Expeller, Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Host, Prince of the Seraphim, the Right Hand of the Lord, Conqueror of Satan, Saint Michael Mikha'el the Archangel!]] [[Franchise/SailorMoon In the name of the Lord, I shall punish you!]]''
* [[StatusQuoIsGod God Planned the Status Quo]]: Crowley does eventually become a demon again, and it comes in handy. Crowley even lampshades with with a dry "Ineffable".
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Adam Young, who is dead by the second chapter. This is what allows humanity to get their memories of both Apocalypses back. Pepper, Brian, and Wendsleydale aren't actually dead, but just helping Adam run things in his part of Hell.
** Downplayed, as Adam still takes part in the story despite being dead.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Michael hasn't been pining over [[spoiler: Gabriel]] for thousands of years or anything like that.
%%** Gabriel gets in more than his fair share as well.
%%* TakeThat: Music/SpiceGirls, ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', and anything else that can be caught in the crossfire.
* PitbullDatesPuppy: Belial, Archdemon of Lust, has a crush on the almost painfully innocent and ObliviousToLove Uriel.
* ThePornomancer: Belial, though it should be expected for the arch demon of lust and sloth. Crosses into StupidSexyFlanders territory at times.
* SignificantAnagram: The leader of Manifest Destiny's name.
* TheStoic: Gabriel, as he was in the last story. [[spoiler:At least until [[NotSoStoic near the end]]. Poor Michael...]]
* TheVoiceless: Evilosoth the Conqueror, Destroyer of Worlds never actually has any lines, although we get a few sections from his point of view.
%%* ZombieApocalypse: Thank you, Pestilence.
%%** Subverted in the fact that they end up helping Heaven and Hell, played straight in that it's still against humanity.
