    Summary

    After being pressured by their families into a marriage neither of them want, Aziraphale and Crowley resign themselves to an unfulfilling life together. For Aziraphale that means trying to be the dutiful wife she was always taught to be and for Crowley it means hiding an important part of who he is.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell isn’t exactly in the closet, but he’s not made it much further out than the hat-stand. The hairdresser at the spa where he’s just taken a job is far too flamboyant for his liking – doubtless, that’s why he can’t get the man out of his mind. His boss is a grouchy, nonbinary terror, who has an inexplicable soft spot for a priggish conservative MP from Oxfordshire. His best friend can’t stop predicting he’s fated to couple up soon. And the rent is due.

    Summary

    A winter of going back and forth between the city and the court at Richmond. The King is a man in the Classical mould; the weather has turned, and he will be thinking now of his deer, Christmas, his horse and hounds, and it will be their job to bring him those things that pertain to a monarch of the here and now, and not just a chevalier of the Chanson des Saisnes.

    I’ll draw the form and model of our battle, Limit each leader to his several charge, And part in just proportion our small power.
    - Richmond, Richard III, Act V, Scene III.

    Summary

    “We… found you out by Lake Franklin, on the rocks,” Goodsir began, halting. “Sprawled there, all but dying. Your body was shutting down. None of us knew who put you there or why you might have arrived. Dr McDonald and I have been working to stabilise you.”

    “McDonald,” James repeated. Once more, his judgement of the situation veered toward his own afterlife - - McDonald had died during the Carnivale fire. “I - I died, then? This is - Hell, or Heaven, or some such afterlife?”

    Goodsir stared at him.

    “I don’t quite think so, sir,” he said. “As I said, this town - it’s for… er, unworldly things, I should suppose you might say. Things that might make men uncomfortable, should they know they roomed with us. It’s safer for us here, out of the way.”

    or: Life after death is not a foreign concept to James - but he'd not been expecting this. Struck with the knowledge he's been placed into a different time, James finds himself unable to escape the Expedition in a new way - each face he meets in town is one he greeted on the ships in 1845, and some of them seem awfully interested in seeing history repeat itself.

    Summary

    “Be mine for the night. Surrender completely to what I want. Your men may leave safely in the morning. I swear it.”

    Those were the words Lord Crozier spoke to Sir James after besting him in battle. James agreed, and has hungered for a return to that night since. So why, after the end of the war and an arranged marriage between them, does his lord now turn away from him?
