Summary
Ed wakes up in someone else's bedroom with no memory of the night before.
Stede, and their night together, was nothing like what he expected.--
Ed bolted upright.
Standing in the doorway was a radiant, kind of dilfy fucking snack of a man with swooping blond curls and a rosy, clean-shaven face. He had a big, fuck-off golden silk kimono looking thing hanging off his shoulders over his adorable buttery yellow matching pajama set. In his hands was an actual china teacup and saucer.
Ed had clearly startled him by springing up in bed. But the surprised look transformed into a smile, and suddenly it wasn’t just the sunlight making Ed’s face feel warm as fuck.

Summary
Aziraphale and Crawly meet in Egypt not long after The Flood.
Aziraphale learns how truly good Crawly can be.-
Ambiguity was meant for humans. Angels were never meant to have free will. They stared into each other's eyes, unblinking. Something complicated building up between them, an exquisite but difficult kind of tension. There was a grey area here that Aziraphale didn’t know what to do with. What Crawly did went against Her plan. And yet– and yet.
“Gonna smite me, Angel?” Crawly said with affected casualness, betrayed by the way his voice came out raw, little more than a growl low in his throat. “Thwart my wiles? Kill the kids off after all?”
I wanted to save them, he thought. I wanted to save them, but She told me I couldn’t. She told me I couldn’t so I boarded the Ark, safe and sound, while all of Mesopotamia drowned below my feet.

Summary
“But you admit it! You did tempt me!”
“I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”
He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”
“Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”
or, an examination vis-à-vis food and forgiveness

Summary
“You look –” Stede steps forward, and if she says “pretty,” Ed thinks she might tear her own face off. She doesn’t mind that sometimes, but tonight she wants to be something different.
“Astonishing,” Stede says, moving closer, close enough to touch. Her fingers land on the lapel of Ed’s velvet coat, smoothing the grain of it. “The most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.”
“Beautiful." Ed's voice is unfamiliar to her, a low rasp.
“Handsome,” Stede says quietly, and the word catches in Ed’s throat like a diamond.

Summary
Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can!
(He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.)
Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.

Summary
“That’s why you decided to drive a scooter to the Downs? You wanted to break laws?”
“I planned to trespass, too,” Aziraphale said conspiratorially. “Mr. Haverford’s estate has a lovely view of the ocean.”
Crowley burst out laughing. He couldn’t help it. But Aziraphale blushed and looked twitchy. “I suppose it would seem funny to you,” he muttered.
“It’s just… angel, you like being the good one.” He ought to, he’d lorded it over Crowley often enough.
“I can do unexpected things.” Aziraphale turned to face him. His expression was a strange mix of contemplation and terror: a first-time parachute jumper looking out the open door of the plane.
“I know that, but you don’t–”
“And I can go fast,” Aziraphale said. His eyes dropped to Crowley’s lips.
Crowley’s stomach swooped. “Angel–”
“I can break rules,” Aziraphale whispered. “Especially the ones that don’t make sense anymore.”
