Summary
Hastur and Ligur were a team, everyone knew that. A nightmarish double-act, two sides of one blood-stained coin. Encountering one of them on their own was worse than encountering both of them together, because you knew the other was around as well, you just didn't know where yet. And wherever it was, and whatever they were doing, it was not going to end well for you.
Ligur was more than just a teammate to Hastur, though. Ligur had been there for him since the Fall, his steady hand, his torchbearer, his poker and his hearth. He was the only thing stopping Hastur from trying to take Creation apart to see which bits would burn, burn like he had. Like he still did. Like he always would.
For the Angst Bingo 2020 prompt: "Trapped in an object"

Summary
Have you come to hear the stories we tell in Heaven? About the demon who prays?
It isn't true, obviously. It can't be true. No demon would ever pray. Demons have no compassion, no hope, no fear. They are broken former people who delight in pain because it is all they have. Everyone knows that. It must be a trick. And yet, every angel who works the prayer halls has heard him. Every angel who has ever worked them has heard him. He has been praying since the Beginning. You have heard him too, haven't you? It's why you're here.
For the Angst Bingo 2020 prompt: "Angels can hear it when you pray to them. Crowley has been praying for 6000 years."

Summary
“What did he think he was doing, attempting to interfere with this? Going into the cities when they were packed with angels in full fury, smiting anything that moved and burning anything that would burn? The fool could be destroyed here. He might have been destroyed already.”
Aziraphale walks the cinders of Gomorrah, looking for what he fears is there, courtesy of the scared children he found in the hills: the remains of a demon.
For the Angst Bingo 2020 prompt: “Grieving a discorporation”

Summary
This was a routine surveillance job – Heaven had promised to leave its rogue Principality alone, but it could hardly be expected to leave him unwatched. Uriel could have sent any one of a million underlings to do it, and probably should have, but she wanted the job herself. Lately she had found herself looking for excuses to visit this damp, distracting mudball.
The inclination was a new development – Uriel had always strongly preferred the austere peace of Heaven to the vivid chaos of Earth. Until very recently, that is. Since the failure of Armageddon, she found she could no longer bear that peace, even though she felt sure it would soon be taken from her. Perhaps it was because it would soon be taken from her.
For the Angst Bingo 2020 prompt: "Crisis of faith; doubt"
