    Summary

    Will Decker and Ilia are gone - missing - their attempt to merge with V’Ger failed. The probe, which has been discovered to be the long-lost Voyager 6 that was launched in the mid-20th century, is orbiting Earth. During its 300+ year travels, it has gained a limited sentience, and a determination to deliver the data in its memory banks with the Creator.

    All other attempts at communicating with V’Ger have failed. Kirk has negotiated with it for time to find the Creator it seeks.

    V’Ger will only transmit its message to that whom created it. If unsuccessful by the end of the allotted time, V’Ger will continue its “extermination of the biological infestation” on the Creator’s planet.

    Spock, still recovering from his own traumatic mind meld with V’Ger, is able to recall some of that data - a garbled and staticky partial message he believes was recorded on Voyager’s golden disc - and he recognizes the voice:

    “I, Crowley, made…static…you…on behalf of Earth, which we both love..."

    In collaboration with my Ineffable Artist teammate Chapollynh and inspired by Snowfilly1's fic "Loved the Stars So Fondly."

    Summary

    “Come and see,” Morticia whispered, her eyes closed, her long nails grazing the smooth glass ball. The shapes in the crystal came alive.

    “An angel, wielding a flaming sword.”

    “He will be coming for you, Crowley.”

    “Beware, a swift strike through the heart.”

    Crowley squirmed in his chair. That didn’t sound good. There was not much in his line of work and general life that would meet with the approval of a holy entity. Was he about to get smitted? Smote?

    Morticia suddenly opened her eyes and stared right into his soul.

    “Smitten.”

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell is bone-achingly lonely. He has his collection of curious, old books and enough money to live quite comfortably for the rest of his life without earning another quid. But no one truly knows him, and he spends most days wrestling with the uneasy sensation of being a fraud in his own story. It’s desperation that drives him to hire an escort on his birthday, hoping to happily exist as himself for just one night.

    Anthony Crowley shed his blue-blood life like a too-tight skin. He’s living by his own rules, fixing motorbikes and making money as an escort…which suits him perfectly, except for when he’s feeling terribly alone. One night there’s a call out of the blue. The voice on the other end is prim and fumbling, asking him if he’d like to meet up…just for the evening, money is not a problem. And Crowley can’t help but be very, very intrigued.

    A Pretty Woman retelling, but make it ineffable.
