    Summary

    Something bad is happening to John.

    He can’t put his finger on it, but he knows two things. One, it started at some point between getting his own body and now— and two, it isn’t going to end well.

    Angels radiate grace. Demons reflect it away from them.

    Summary

    “Og hvorfor købte du den igen?”

    “Jeg syntes, at boghandlen var lidt mørk og trist,” sagde Aziraphale, “og dette vil gøre den mere glad.” Han kiggede på Crowley, da dæmonen cirklede rundt om fugleburet.

    “Så hvorfor ikke bare åbne et vindue nu og da?”

    “Min kære dreng,” svarede englen, “hvis jeg gjorde det nu, ville han flygte!”

    Summary

    So he hung there, Aziraphale looking down at him in embarrassingly open adoration. Somewhere a few dimensions away, he sensed that a bunch of tourists had stopped to stare. Crowley felt like all the stupid Peking ducks hanging in the windows around them might be staring.

    Stupid peeking Peking ducks, mocking him when all his defenses were down. Stupid bastard angel.

    "'Ssssss not fair, Angel. Not playing fair." It came out all mumbled, with his jaw pressed shut against Aziraphale's hand. The bastard kissed the top of his head instead of responding. Crowley puffed as ferociously as possible against the tingle making its way down the back of his head, down his spine.

    "What are you going to do about it, dear?"

    "'m gonna kiss you. Gonna kiss the fuck out of you," he growled.
    ...
    If you're looking for a deep, meaningful Pulitzer Prize-candidate fic, this is not that. If you're looking for ridiculous demon...

    Crowley wakes up halfway through July to find that a certain angel is Very Keen for him to be awake again. They go for dinner and a nice stroll on the way back to the bookshop.

    It turns into a very nice stroll. Like, a really nice stroll.

    Summary

    Aziraphale rarely dreamed.

    He didn’t sleep, so that already made it exceedingly unlikely. But sometimes – when his mood struck him just so – his mind would start to drift, and he experienced what humans called daydreaming.

    And he always dreamed about one specific demon.

    Who, unknown to Aziraphale, would dream of him back...

    Summary

    Crowley heard about Aziraphale in rumors; in whispers; in tales of adventure conflated over many tellings. Sometimes it was King Arthur who fought with strange, powerful and unearthly techniques, vanquishing his enemies and slaying beasts; sometimes, it was a being who was given the moniker of White Knight, almost as if in answer to Crowley’s own assumed name.  A powerful figure for Good, to counter one of supernatural Evil; a story crafted to balance Crowley’s truth.  That was the way of human stories, after all; they liked balance, symmetry.  He wasn’t surprised.  But then...the stories persisted.  And some began to come from more credible sources.  “The White Knight conquered an entire band of rogues on his own.  My cousin was among those slain.”  Or, “I came from Camelot.  I saw King Arthur’s teacher; it’s no wonder the king does battle as he does.  I swear, no human man could fight that way.”  And so, Crowley began to wonder.

     “It was you. You started it.”

    Crowley attempted to arrange his face into something innocent (it didn't work; Crowley’s face wasn’t really made for innocent—or perhaps it was just that Aziraphale knew him too well).

    Summary

    “Crowley!” Aziraphale says a third time, a shout of panic that doesn’t come from Aziraphale’s mouth.  Crowley’s eyes snap open.

    “Crowley, please wake up and come down, please!”  Aziraphale’s voice is panicked as he stands in the center of their mattress, here in the flat above the bookshop.  Crowley is flush against the ceiling, and Aziraphale is pulling at the hem of his shirt trying to wake him up, barely able to reach.

    Summary

    “Dr. Fell,” says the first, “your specialty is religious artifacts, is it not?”

    “More or less,” Aziraphale says, fidgeting with his hands.

    “Then you’re just the person we need,” the second agent says as he pulls out a few leaves of paper.  “Our latest field reports put them somewhere called Tanis.  We know from the information we’ve intercepted that they’re searching specifically for religious artifacts, but other than that we haven’t the foggiest idea what it is they’re looking for.”

    The first takes a sip from his glass of water, then pointedly stares at Aziraphale.  “Any idea what it might be?” 

    They stare Aziraphale down like it’s an interrogation.  Like a test he hasn’t studied for.  Like any of his meetings with Gabriel.

    Aziraphale freezes in his seat. Centuries - millennia, even - have passed since he last saw the Ark.  Since he had walked with the slaves through all of that pain and suffering; tried to be a helping hand to Moses.  He had been there when it was constructed, when the tablets were laid inside.  He knew its power.  He’d seen it.

    He hadn’t been there when it was lost.  Had he known it would be, he would have destroyed it himself.

    Summary

    Just like Rome.  Petronius and those oysters; good wine and good company.  That had been the first of he and Crowley’s, well, he didn’t want to say ‘dates’.  Actually, he did want to say dates, he ought to say ‘casual friendly lunches’.  Right now though, in the still and silence of the bookshop, he can’t quite bring himself to care one way or the other.  

    He holds the cookbook in his hands and thinks.  Thinks about the way Crowley’s long fingers curl around the stem of a wineglass.  About how open and unguarded Crowley is while he drinks his espresso, content to let Aziraphale eat his fill, wanting nothing for himself.  About how right now Crowley could be here, watching him eat cake.

    Summary

    Aziraphale was familiar with tall tales. Intimately familiar. He’d lied to God. Which...might still be sinking in, if he was perfectly honest.

    The last time that angels had lied, it had led to the Fall; everybody knew that. So it followed, logically, that lying was bad. And that anyone who did it—well. But Aziraphale had had to lie, hadn’t he? He couldn’t have just said that he’d given away the sword, not when it had been entrusted to him; and yet, he couldn’t have not given it away, either, not when Adam and Eve had needed help. If there was someone in need of help, and you were able to provide it, how could you possibly say no? Well, in any case, Aziraphale didn’t have it in him.

    All of which was to say, Aziraphale was an angel who was familiar with lies, and they were bad things; things that you only said when you had no other choice. They could cause a lot of pain. Which begged the question:

    “Why are Adam and Eve lying to their child?”

    Summary

    Crowley had no idea why he said yes. Seriously, what? A date? At his age? Why?

    Crowley really should know better than going on dates with humans. He doesn't, though. Luckily, Aziraphale usually turns up just in time to get him out of it.
