    Summary

    "I said I'd bring you," he said casually.

    There was a long silence. Aziraphale's expression didn't change so much as gently calcify. Then, very quietly, he said, "Could you repeat that, please?"

    "Come on, Aziraphale. I've spent years talking you up in my reports, cleverest and most subtle of angels, be an asset to us all if you defected, and in the meantime feeding me valuable information. And then all the Armageddon business... Well, they took notice. They want to meet you."

    "Piffle. I couldn't possibly attend a function in Hell."

    Summary

    A friend insists that Crowley is working too hard and books him a holiday in the middle of nowhere. He's determined to have an awful time, until he spots one of his neighbours and things start looking up. The only problem is, there's a heavy snowstorm coming, and not all of the rustic cabins have reliable power.

    Summary

    After he’d Fallen, he’d fetched up against the bare earth on the basement level (no office space yet, but it wasn’t all boiling sulfur so the others were using words like “potential” and “good bones” before you could say “eternally damned”), hair singed, surrounded by the smell of burning feathers. He remembered realizing he couldn’t breathe- his body had still been shocked and still- before he even really knew what breathing was. He’d panicked, not knowing what this thing was that his body seemed to need so desperately, only knowing that he did need it, he needed it now, but he couldn’t get it, and that was unbearable.

    This was like that. The angel’s scent was the turning of a blank page, a painting rendered in a colour palette Crawly had never seen. And now he could never not see it, never be able to unsee the shifting and wonderful complexity of it; his life would be divided into the time before he’d smelled it, and the time after. He gave a deep shudder as he breathed him in, knowing, knowing that he would need it now, he would crave it, and he couldn’t keep it. Would probably never smell it again.

    Summary

    God does not play dice with the universe, but She does play an ineffable game of Her own devising, which might be compared to the human party game known as Seven Minutes in Heaven.
