    Summary

    The webpage loaded. Aziraphale absolutely did not spit his tea all over his keyboard, but it was a close-run thing.
    The man on the page was beautiful. Ethereal even. Flaming red hair that surely couldn't be natural and golden honey-coloured eyes that made Aziraphale wonder if he was wearing contact lenses to alter the colour. His cheekbones were rather lovely and the wicked smile he was giving to the camera was a sharp counterpoint to the warmth in his eyes.

    Aziraphale has to attend a family wedding and he may have told a bit of a white lie. Of course he doesn't actually have a boyfriend. So now he needs to find one in the next six months, and in despair he turns to an escort agency for help.

    As for Crowley? Well, "Crowley usually only ordered dessert if he really felt it was expected of him. But tonight he ordered dessert because Aziraphale was debating between two different choices and Crowley had said he was thinking of ordering one of them simply so that Aziraphale could choose the other and try some of his."

    Crowley thinks he might be in trouble.

    Summary

    "But something else beside the man’s cash box pulls his attention—something soft and odd and wonderful.
    Stede darts toward it and gently picks it up.
    A fabric doll.
    It’s unlike any doll he’s seen before—adorable and strange in the best way. Mismatched buttons for eyes. Long silver hair. A scruffy gray beard. He wears what looks like an old-fashioned white linen shirt, grayish beige breeches, grey stockings, and black, buckled shoes. There are little tattoos embroidered on his arm—tiny anchors, stars, skulls, and a snake, among others, swirls of thread meant to look like ink.
    Stede hugs it to his chest without thinking.
    He loves it immediately."

    When they’re young, Stede and Ed each get a doll that looks uncannily like the other—though they’ve never met. They grow up just a few miles apart, treating their dolls like best friends: sewing them tiny outfits, bringing them along on every adventure, and confiding in them like old friends. It’s sweet, a little odd, and maybe even a touch magical.
    Years later, when Stede and Ed finally cross paths as adults, they’re struck by a strange, impossible realization: each of them looks exactly like the other’s childhood doll.
