Summary
Vash won’t take for himself. Not when he can make do without. Not when everyone else is struggling so much already. He’s had a century and a half to practice his restraint over his selfish need, and at this point he’s fairly confident he could hold his self-control to the point of death if he had to.
(5 times Vash didn’t drink blood, +1 time he did)

Summary
Wolfwood could bear a lot of things, but cold wasn’t something he was accustomed to. Still, the plan was to drive straight through. The last of the suns had set a while ago, but town was only a few hours out. It was hardly worth stopping at this point.

Summary
Aziraphale felt the change in the air, a burst of power and a whiff of ozone. He spun, and jumped when he came face to face with Gabriel leering cheerfully over his right shoulder.
“Aziraphale!” he smiled as if greeting an old friend, then clapped his hands together loudly, so close it made Aziraphale flinch. “You’re early, so glad you could make it.” He began to walk around him, admiring the circle beneath his feet, careful not to cross it. It posed no real danger to him, it had already been activated, but crossing the bounds of an active circle was never a fun experience.
“Gabriel,” his voice wavered despite his best efforts. “What is the meaning of this?”

Hellfire didn't work, but Heaven has one more idea. And this time, they're going to force Crowley to watch.

Summary
Michael just smiled, glancing between the two of them.
“It was you,” Crowley realized, half rage, half grief. Michael just smiled wider.
“What?” Aziraphale looked back and forth between them. “What do you mean? What are you talking about?”
Crowley swallowed, his jaw clenching.“The plane crash,” Crowley said in a strained voice. “The lightning,” he explained, even though he knew he didn’t need to. Aziraphale understood already. He just didn’t want to. “It was her.”

Like Bread for Ducks by caffeinefire

Summary
“And that means we can’t throw bread at them anymore?” Crowley raised one eyebrow, then tossed another piece of crust toward the ducks in defiance. By the time it hit the water it was a handful of frozen peas, and Aziraphale huffed, frustrated.
“Yes, now will you please stop that?”
“Not until you tell me why,” the next chunk he threw was larger, and changed to rain of corn. The ducks quacked in annoyance.

On the Warpath by caffeinefire

Summary
Rage needs an outlet.
And she found the demon first.
Off-script, off-stage, off-kilter, War smashed through the glass store-front of a London bakery, sending people running and debris flying, snatching a particularly large shard of glass out of the air as she moved. Crowley was already scampering backward, but War was on him, hand at his throat and glass shard to his stomach. She picked him up without breaking stride, walking him back until she had him against a wall, feet scrambling for purchase where they barely touched the floor.
“You,” she growled, her voice closer to the rough roll of truck tires on broken roads than to anything human. “A little birdie told me it was your fault.”

nothing special about the plants by caffeinefire

Summary
Just the vague aura of “this is a demon’s residence, very dangerous, stay away,” was usually enough to keep anyone a little too curious about the contents of the flat from taking a peek inside.
Unfortunately, after having its occupant spend so much time away from it in recent months, the flat’s aura had diminished considerably. In fact, it had diminished to the point that when Crowley went to unlock the door one evening, having decided that a nap was in order after a particularly long round of drinking at the bookshop, he found that the door was already unlocked. Furthermore, it had swung inward slightly after having part of the doorframe pried off. So, unlocked in a certain sense of the word.

Summary
“Alright,” Crowley turned to Aziraphale, determinedly ignoring the angel’s soft smile. “Take the kid, I’ll go find the parents.”
Crowley made no move to offer the child.
“Crowley, you cannot be serious,” Aziraphale's smile dropped into an expert frown of disapproval. “There is a reason you were the nanny, my dear. Just… watch the boy for a moment, and I will go locate the parents.” He began to walk away before Crowley could sputter out a protest.Series

Summary
Aziraphale’s vision whites out. He can’t see. Can’t hear anything but that last word echoing in his head.
“Angel.” A plea.
“Angel.” A prayer.
“Angel!” An accusation.Series

Summary
The echo of a snap resounded in the air and the rest of the world was silenced. The patter of the rain stopped, cars ceased to rumble past, and the flicker of flame in the candle on the coffee table froze. His own breath caught in his throat as he felt the change in the air, felt the waiting hum of a world stilled.
The only things that moved were Crowley’s eyes, golden and intense as they wandered over Aziraphale’s face, examining his stunned expression, still unfocused from the wine.
“’s the easiest thing in the world, angel,” he whispered. “Why are you being so stubborn about this?”
