    Summary

    From the moment your soulmate comes into the world, your hearts beat in sync. You would never know the difference between your heartbeat and theirs unless an irregularity occurred in one.
    When Astarion learns of this, he can’t contain his giddiness at the fact that there is someone out there perfect for him and in turn, he is someone else’s perfect. When he reaches of age – at least by human standards – he is finally taken to a Soul Matcher—someone magically gifted to trace the connection between souls.
    “I don’t detect another soul.”
    Astarion’s heart drops but he’s told that this happens sometimes. His soulmate may not exist yet. He should check back in another year or so.
    Astarion continues to do this for 19 years, his hope dwindling more so each time.
    “I feel nothing. Perhaps you should-”
    At 37, Astarion leaves before the Soul Matcher can finish his words and empty reassurances. At 37, Astarion dies and so does his belief that there is someone out there for everyone. He believes this for the next 161 years.
    And then he wakes up with a heartbeat that cannot be his, for he is undead and his heart stopped beating long ago.

    Summary

    Crowley – he doesn’t make a single sound. Almost doesn’t breathe at all. Is this what humans feel like in churches, when they drop their eyes to the ground and respect the silence by speaking in murmurs? He reverently presses his lips to the delicate skin in the crook of the angel’s elbow, and it feels like a prayer.
    He chances a glance up, sees nothing but the taut lines of Aziraphale’s bare neck as the angel keeps his face turned away from him. Not disgust, then – permission. Permission to touch, as long as Aziraphale doesn’t have to bear witness to it.

    🔶

    Crowley notices a little quirk Aziraphale has - sometimes, the angel will keep his eyes closed and refuse to acknowledge what's happening around him.
    At times, he does it when there's something he doesn't want to see.
    Other times, when he's indulging in something he's not supposed to.

    Summary

    He would Fall if he succumbed to this. Demonic temptation or not, Aziraphale was certain this would end him. He couldn’t consent to such an act, couldn’t willingly hand himself over to be despoiled by a fiend.

    Ah, there’s the loophole.
