    Summary

    Stede gets a book about pirates from his brother-in-law. Inside, he finds a curious name—his name, Stede Bonnet. It's barely a mention, two measly paragraphs in a longer story about the legendary Blackbeard, with whom he apparently sailed for a time. That night, he dreams about Ed. He learns he already knows more than he'll find in any book.

    And Ed? Ed dreams too. He dreams about drowning, mostly.

    Until he sees Stede.

    The title comes from my best girl Margaret Lanterman, AKA The Log Lady, in one of her iconic Twin Peaks episode intros: "The beautiful thing about treasure is that it exists. It exists to be found."

    If you are a podfic enjoyer, you can find it here, and don't forget to leave lindie a little heart. thanks!

    Summary

    "I'll always be there for you,” Crowley had whispered into his ear the previous night.
    Aziraphale clenched the sheet in his hands, steeling himself. “Crowley,” he began carefully, “you know we can’t do this again, yes?”
    Then, he saw it: a flash of devastation struck Crowley’s face, his features crumpled, yellow eyes wounded. As quickly as the expression came, it was gone, replaced by cold indifference and deep frown lines on his forehead. He shrugged one shoulder roughly. “Yeah, yeah,” he said gruffly, looking away. “Of course.” He paused. “Uh. Why, exactly?”
    ~
    After reuniting in 1941, Aziraphale and Crowley drunkenly fall into bed together. Too bad they can never do it again without the threat of death. They pretend it never happened.
