Fic with a footnote! I snerk.
Lust was one Deadly Sin that they'd all embraced pretty wholeheartedly, and combining it with Greed was remarkably popular, as any number of luxury icecream manufacturers could attest.
Greed? Not Gluttony?
He had kept his interactions with mortals to a minimum and had certainly done nothing so vulgar or proletarian as carry money lest it lead to avarice; he had never indulged in a wink of sleep lest it lead to sloth; he kept no possessions lest they lead to envy; he avoided following any particular sports team lest it lead to anger; he avoided looking at his own reflection lest it lead to vanity; and he avoided looking at anyone else very hard lest it lead to lust.
This is priceless.
You like? Oh, splendid.
Greed? Not Gluttony?

Greed and Gluttony are two separate sins, aren't they? Greed being interchangeable with Avarice?
Lyra's drabble broke me a bit, damnit.
Fay, I am giggling madly. I love that piece.

I dunno. I think calling you a devil woman and then saying there's more sushi for me covers gluttony, anger, and possibly avarice. So that's 3.
Yeah, but they're only valid sins if the Devil Woman in question actually minds being given the title.
The pointing, OTOH, is rude (slapping Teppy's finger lightly).
Wonderful, Fay! The tone is very like that of the original. I especially liked the rehash of the chocolate argument.
