Summary
In the meantime, they’d have their familiar dance; trips to museums and galleries, promenades through the park, evenings in the shop where the world went golden and giddy at the edges.
Six thousand years, he’d gone without Crowley kissing him. He’d go another six if it meant giving Crowley the world instead.
[Aziraphale and Crowley have rekindled their old friendship, which is all they want from each other now that the world hasn't ended. Absolutely nothing more. Nothing at all.]

Summary
For six thousand years, Aziraphale did his best to exist within the strictures of Heavenly conduct. It wasn’t a perfect practice; his relationship with Crowley, just for example, was never exactly what one might call “officially sanctioned,” or even, “particularly wise,” but the important thing was that Aziraphale tried. He wasn’t a very good angel, but he did his best, more or less. Wasn’t that all anyone could really ask of him?
It doesn’t really feel fair, is the point, that in reward for saving the world, Aziraphale seems to be having something of an existential crisis.

Summary
"Rachel thinks it’s common courtesy to turn somebody down when you can’t do something.
She herself hems and haws and beats around the bush, sure, but in the end she always says what’s on her mind even if it takes her a while to get there, if only so she can hear the sound of her own voice a little longer. This - Finn turning her down two days before their ballroom classes were set to start, in favor of teaching children how to sing instead of taking the requisite two weeks which would vault them both to stardom, the two weeks she had paid handsomely for - is extremely different."
or, Rachel needs a dance partner, Quinn needs a distraction, and this is the most convenient arrangement.

Summary
At some point along the way of the Arrangement, "toss you for Edinburgh" had quietly turned into "let's go together."
As Crowley lurks in the shadows of St. Giles' Cathedral, waiting to show his angel something that will no doubt amuse him, the city stirs old memories, drawing him back to the tangled closes of their shared history in the Old Town. Where ghost stories were shared over whiskey, where long-buried recollections, tucked beneath moss-laden stones, surfaced once more, and where far too much alcohol was consumed.
