    Summary

    The first time he picked up his telephone and didn't hear Joan or one of the other ladies greet him, he just rolled his eyes, assumed they were cross with him, and firmly asked for the shop he was trying to connect to into the receiver like normal. He even said please! And the thing about being a being of considerable occult power with a history of shaping parts of the universe is that, sometimes, the world bends to oblige you.

    So, the only thing that surprised him about Fell answering the line in response to his demand for "an expert on ancient greek and roman preparations of oysters" was that they'd made long-distance calls considerably less bothersome at some point.

    OR

    Crowley is a big fan of technology but has zero idea how it works, which leads to him developing an unlikely friendship with a fussy bookseller who happens to be an expert on a miraculous number of subjects.

    Summary

    “You see that?” Crowley said, now lying naked as the moment of his creation, give or take a pair of socks. The Mark was on full display, its blackened lines scored into his skin to form a complex sigil just above his pubic bone. “That’s the Infernal Mark of Carnal Obligation. Care to hazard a guess on what it does? Now, either you leave or I’m going to start wanking right in front of you, and you definitely won’t like tha… hwha…”

    He trailed off, because Aziraphale was suddenly kneeling on the bed above him, eyes unfairly bright and unassailably determined as he planted a hand on the sheets near Crowley’s head.

    “If that’s truly what you wish, my dear,” he said, leaning closer, too close, practically pressed on top of him now. “But you should know I’m not totally opposed to lending a hand directly.”

    Angels are sexless. Demons, not so much.

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.
