    Summary

    ["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”

    “June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”

    “Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]

    Summary

    Newly married to a mysterious widower after a whirlwind romance abroad, the second Mrs di Angelo does her best to adjust to her unexpected life as a lady of means. Gabriel di Angelo is a man with everything – wealth, charm, and the famously beautiful estate, Sanderley, on the Cornish coast – and high expectations for his bride to fill the role she has been given. What she finds at Sanderley is a house filled with bitter secrets, a housekeeper determined to let her know she’s unwelcome, the lingering ghost of Gabriel’s adored and inimitable first wife Antoinette … and that nothing is as it appears.

    Summary

    “Oh.” Muriel had frowned again, their voice confused. “Then . . . if they were special, why did he leave them?”
    Crowley thought that his expression must have spoken louder than any words ever could have, because Muriel had rushed to change the subject, and they hadn’t mentioned Aziraphale after that.

    An obligatory ‘Crowley coping terribly and Aziraphale coming to his senses’ fic because I finally watched s2 and I have a lot of Feelings (ft. Crowley being a sort-of parent to Muriel, sort-of friends with Nina and Maggie, and drinking enough alcohol to kill several humans.)
