Summary
It wasn't fair.
It shouldn’t matter that it wasn’t fair: that wasn’t the point. The point was that the whole business of… well… everything, was, you know. Ineffable.
God works in mysterious ways and so forth. Unknowable. Everyone in the universe merely players upon her stage.
So Aziraphale had told himself almost daily over the long years of his existence. It had become a mantra repeated to himself so often that was seared behind his eyes.
Don’t question, don’t presume, don’t think too hard about it. Trust in God, always. Things will work out fine. Or at least as they were always meant to - and that should be a comfort to any angel for whom the entire purpose of existence is in service of her plan.
And it had been a comfort. On the good days.
On the bad days, it felt like swallowing a bucket of nails.
Today was definitely a bad day.

Summary
Crowley has a moment. He spots an uncertain look on Aziraphale’s face at the end of an evening in the bookshop and has to walk it off.
Excerpt:
“Crowley had learned that most questions don’t get answered, no matter how loud you shout.
Not that the questions ever stopped coming. They spilled out of him like water overflowing a glass. Too often they made it out of his mouth before he could stop them. And yet, for all his questions of Hell, of Heaven, of God herself, there was one question he’d never been able to bring himself to ask aloud.
He feared the answer, and yet it wasnt fear that really stopped his otherwise treacherous mouth.
Hope.”
