    Summary

    Sherlock fled London a couple of years after John left him in hospital with nothing but an old walking stick and a half-hearted goodbye.

    Rosie grew up thinking that Sherlock died when he committed suicide in front of her father by jumping from Barts' roof.

    So it's somewhat awkward when they run into each other in a Sussex general store between the loaves of bread and the Mars bars...

    Summary

    1941 is the London Blitz and the year that MI5 really comes into its own with the now infamous ‘double cross’ system. The service keep tabs on suspects, root out enemy agents and try to turn them into doubles.

    Anthony J Crowley is fucking great at this job. He can be sneaky, underhanded and damn ruthless but also charming and kind. It’s what makes him good at turning.

    Aziraphale is just a regular Soho bookseller who loves his shop and books and good food and wine when he’s approached by a woman claiming to be MI5, wanting to recruit him for espionage. The poor man is too trusting and gets the shock of his life when he’s approached by a charming but dangerous-looking man also claiming to be MI5.

    Crowley recruits Aziraphale to double cross a double crosser and Aziraphale takes to espionage like a duck to water.

    Danger, hijinks, and sex ensue.

    This is light speed in comparison to the last few centuries of their relationship, but Crowley is barely holding on to his patience.

    Summary

    Crowley likes giving Aziraphale things. Whatever he wants, actually.

    Which, happily, includes Crowley himself, as it turns out.

    Summary

    Nearly simultaneously, two thoughts had immediately crossed Aziraphale’s mind the moment their lips had touched.

    First: This is mad. This is impossible. Or: this is only possible because Crowley believes that loathsome demon Ferngully (?) to have the photograph. A task he’d very nearly succeeded at, if not for Aziraphale. A task that Aziraphale had been excited to reveal, and now, in a tragic turn of events, it’s the very thing he needs to keep hidden if he wants to continue kissing Crowley.

    Which leads him to his second realization: Crowley cannot, under any circumstances, discover the photograph.
