   Summary

   After the apoca-not-alypse, Crowley and Aziraphale finally begin to seek out, in each other, the earthly life they’ve always wanted.

   But it could never be that easy. For millennia, Crowley’s coping mechanism has been as ingenious as it is foolish: He keeps the memories of the worst horrors of his life since the flood in a box that’s not a box, stowed safely in a place that’s not a place, away from his own conscious mind.

   Be a pity if something were to cause that box to open, right as things are getting good for our ineffable husbands…wouldn’t it?

   Takes place after S1 and uses S2 characters (Nina + Maggie), with many-a-chapter looking back on the kind of memories that even a demon hides from.

   Angsty, angsty mega-fic. Strap in, pups.
