    Summary

    "And the LORD God said unto the serpent,
    Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle,
    and above every beast of the field;
    upon thy belly shalt thou go,
    and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."

    The thing is, Crowley does eat when he dines with Aziraphale.

    It's just not the way you'd think.

    Summary

    They both sit down on the dry, hard ground, with Crowley cross-legged and Aziraphale with his legs out straight. The ground is rough and uncomfortable, but it would do little good to complain.

    They both look at the sky, and there are no stars shining in that mess of fire and blaze—no nebulas or pretty little constellations. He’s not technically sure if it’s night or day right now, actually.

    “There used to be an ocean here, you know,” Aziraphale says, even though they both already know that very well. “Life. There were whales, and dolphins. Sharks—”

    “I know,” Crowley says, soft. “Humans, too, ‘cause people used to sail out here. Big ships in the water, and then planes in the sky over it all. The middle of the ocean.”

    “Yes,” Aziraphale says, almost a whisper. The wind blows through his white curls like a symbol—of what, Crowley isn’t quite sure.

    Respites from the battlefield are a bittersweet rendition of what 'before' maybe, should've, could've been.

    Too late now.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Thor's Chitauri army decimated the Earth. Now what's left of humanity lives in bases under the Earth's surface, safe from the toxic atmosphere. Tony likes to think that humanity's adapted pretty well. After all, they have movie nights and dances; they're doing better than could be expected. But when he learns that the little world of safety and stability they've carved out is about to be slowly but surely destroyed, the New York Underground is left with only two options--fight or flight. Tony knows which one he wants. If only Steve weren't on the exact opposite side. Meanwhile, Natasha wants whatever option will save Clint, Pepper wants whatever option will save the base, Maria Hill wants whatever option will save everybody, and nobody's exactly sure who Loki's trying to save, but everyone's hoping it's more than just himself.

    Summary

    ‘I know all that’s waiting down there is just death. But still. Still. Bless me anyway. I’ll stick with this world to its end. I choose to. Spare Aziraphale, like you promised, don’t you dare let him see what goes down. But leave me alone, bless me, whatever. Let me go. I’m not picking sides.’

    Or, a story of a second Apocalypse and its accidental Prophet.
