    Summary

    Anthony Crowley would be Item No. 1 on his personal Regret List, if he accepted the challenge. His childhood best friend, his first crush, his first kiss. The one he let get away.

    No. Not really. The one he pushed away. Talk about regret.

    *****
    Aziraphale’s life is perfectly fine, thank you. Sure, he’s divorced and almost fifty, and his family is as challenging as ever, but he loves his job, his home, his friends. There’s nothing more could he want.

    So why does it feel like danger when he’s asked to reevaluate those choices?

    Summary

    Summary:
    Heaven wins. Crowley endures divine vengeance to be reunited with his partner Aziraphale. Alongside other beings who dare to love the opposition, the two of them unwittingly become embroiled in a dangerous power grab that destabilizes Heaven. After the rebels, spies, and monarch butterflies, what will it mean to forgive?

    Excerpt:
    And there’s something frantic in the way Crowley presses their bodies together now. It’s as if he means to fuse them, lithe and soft, into an alloy that cannot be unmade. To mold them into a shape so structurally sound that it will bear up against Heaven’s machinations.

    Dedication:
    For all the little birds determined to fly across the universe as many times as necessary to wear down the mountain.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The greatest story I have ever read ever

    Summary

    After Aziraphale leaves, Crowley gets on with things. He reads one of Aziraphale’s favorite books. Every now and then, Aziraphale calls from Heaven. Sometimes they even talk.

    Crowley awoke later that night to the sound of his telephone ringing. He fell out of his armchair, stomped over to the phone, and picked it up. “Muriel?”

    “Who? Oh, no.” A pause. “Crowley? Is that you?”

    It wasn’t Muriel. “The one and only,” Crowley said stupidly.

    There was a long silence. “Oh,” said Aziraphale on the other end, at last.

    “You sound very surprised about that for someone who called me.”

    “I thought I would get your answering machine.” Aziraphale sounded quite far away, farther than usual when they spoke on the phone. Perhaps Heaven’s connection wasn’t very good.

    “Well, you’ve got me,” Crowley said, without thinking about it.
