    Summary

    There’s something…off about The Gentleman Pirate. It takes Ed a little while to put it all together, longer than it would have if Stede weren’t so fascinating, so goddamn distracting. It’s little things, at first: how Stede is not a good enough pirate to be that blasé with his personal welfare, how confident he seems that things will work out in the end, the glimmer in his eye he gets when danger comes close and whispers in his ear. It’s maddening and familiar, too, because Ed swears he’s met Stede before. Maybe on a ship somewhere, or in town, a shared look before a shared bed; though, if the sex were as good then as it is now, Ed’s sure he would remember. As Ed watches and waits — and desperately tries not to fall in love — he grows more and more convinced that the truth is a terrifying third option; a monster parents tell their children about at night and all sailors dread. Stede Bonnet is The World Ender.

    Summary

    It was your first time leaving Vanaheim. You were excited and nervous about your family's visit to Asgard. Your father and sister were there to discuss important dignitary matters. You were brought along to be a shining gift for the Aesir royal family to use. That is what happens when you're the best seer in an age. You spend your days divining futures without being allowed any thought for your own. You knew what your life was going to be and this was it. A precious and pretty ornament for others to use when needed.

    That was until you were put in front of Prince Loki and suddenly that future that rolled towards you like an endless road had come to a dead halt. For the first time in a long time you had no idea what the future had in store for you. The thought was as terrifying as it was thrilling.

    Summary

    In which Crowley moves back into his flat, Aziraphale has problems at work, and the Second Coming of Christ is but a stone's throw away.

    In the end, Crowley makes it to rolling green hills, leant against a stubbornly yellow Bentley.

    He remembers the first morning.

    He had slithered out of the ground not long before dawn, the dirt damp even before the first rain, the grass cool and crisp against his scales. And the sun had risen, jewels spilling across the great blue sky, warm and golden from the East. Crowley – Crawly, then – had wanted to follow it, had felt a great pull Eastwards. He went, too, until he found the ripe red fruit nestled amongst the lush green leaves and knew what they were for.

    It was luck, then, that the humans had left in the direction of the sunrise.

    Luck, or– ineffable.

    The sun rises over the South Downs, and Crowley finally wants to stay.
