Summary
"I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.
Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.
"Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.
"Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."
"Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.

Summary
Fingers entwined with Crowley’s and fair eyelashes catching the soft, chandelier light of the Ritz dining room, Aziraphale leans forward and says, smug as all get out, “We can be us now, just as you wanted. In every way.”
Crowley doesn’t know what that means. Privately, he hopes it includes more prolonged hand-holding. Maybe they could try for a better kiss this time. All the sinful self-congratulation looks good on Aziraphale, though, so Crowley smiles right back at him and says, “Can’t wait.”
Aziraphale assumes they’ve been taking the physical side of things slow by mutual, undiscussed agreement. Crowley doesn’t realize sex is on the table. He may not even be in the same universe as the table.

Summary
There's a first time for everything. Gotta make it perfect, right?
***
No, Crowley had been convinced. If it were ever to happen, he was confident that drama would be key. A backdrop of Hellfire, or a frenzied lurch for freedom, or some other forced decision of similar magnitude—something external prompting him to seize Aziraphale and drag him in close, deliver a kiss like a message, a challenge.
It needed to be fantastically exciting, or there would be too much risk of Aziraphale coming to his senses and walking away.
Crowley couldn’t picture it any other way. Certainly he hadn’t pictured it like... this.
