    Summary

    Crowley folded his newspaper and accepted, with grim resignation, that he would have to try and save the world. It wasn’t that he particularly wanted to do it again; the first time had been bad enough and he’d needed an eleven-year-old to do the hard bit. He didn’t feel any kind of great love towards all living things at the moment, or have any heroic feelings. He simply knew that nobody else would do it.

    And Aziraphale, who had stumbled his way into the centre of it all, would be trying desperately not to let it happen and failing, because Heaven wouldn’t let him succeed. One more time, and he resolved that it would be the very last time, Crowley would have to fix things for him.

    --
    Crowley goes on a road trip across America to delay the Second Coming. Aziraphale tries to teach angels about humanity. In between, they talk.

    Summary

    The Second Coming of Jesus Christ, son of God, came to Earth, against the predictions of dozens of prominent religious scholars, on the relatively normal day of June 21st 2024, four months before the Earth's 6028th birthday. It was raining in London. The M25 was backed up. The Tube was late arriving to one station, and early arriving to another. Tourists took pictures at all the places that tourists enjoy taking pictures at.

    Then, precisely at 5:32 pm, the clouds parted from above and the Heavenly Host descended from the sky, not just in London, but all over the world, and they spake as one:

     

    Your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has returned to Earth. Find him and heed his words, for Armageddon will come for You. You have four months to renounce Yourselves of Sin and accept the Goodness of God, or be cast aside when the Earth and Heaven become as One in Eternal Paradise

     

    And with a faint bubble-like *pop*, they disappeared.

    The Son of God was found five days later.

    By the next day, he was verified on all platforms.

    Summary

    “Mr. Crowley? Are you–”

    “‘M fine,” he practically shouts as he is snapped out of his angry trance. He snaps his fingers to miracle the bedroom back to order, but all he succeeds in doing is miraculously shattering the winged mug. “Agh. Get the broom.”

    “Mr Crowley, I think maybe you’d better get some rest too–”

    “I said I’m fine. Just– lie down your corporation. Clean this up.” He’s back down the stairs before he’s finished talking, jumping back in the Bentley and resting his head against the wheel in despair.

    “Traitor,” he mumbles against her dashboard.

    He cannot be back in that bookshop, not with Aziraphale’s hand still everywhere. He cannot relive six thousand years of love and heartbreak and hope and despair and desire and terror and everything else he’d ever indulged his demonic soul in every time he crosses the threshold. He cannot let his fragile world be upended like it was today.

    ~

    Crowley returns to the bookshop the next week.

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.
