Summary
"Caduceus walks as quickly as he can back home, and he thinks about flatmates who are at once too much and not enough. He thinks about arms, wrapped tight around his back, and about himself, a bedroom ghost, sitting in a room that’s not entirely his, and won’t ever be."
𓆱
In which Caduceus has started a textiles course, because he needed to get out of a house he hadn't left in years. Because.. he's not sure. He's trying to figure it out. It's a lot though, and friends are hard to come by.
Things change, though, when he meets Beauregard at the library and she offers him a room at the housing co-op she and her friends are setting up. There's connection there, but still... it's a lot. And, still, he's not sure what he's doing away from home at all.- Language:

Summary
And now Steve had brought him home like a goddamn found puppy he wanted to keep.
“What the fuck, Rogers?” Clint asked, his hands itching for a bow, a gun, an anything, but not stupid enough to make any sudden moves. There was no way to casually reach for the pistol he’d tucked into the back of his jeans, not with Steve so close and the Winter Soldier so unkillable.
“He’s not the Winter Soldier,” Steve said in a rush of expelled air, reading the tension in Clint’s arms correctly. “He’s Bucky Barnes.”
Either there were two silver-armed motherfuckers running around - and Clint could believe anything at this point - or this situation was even more bizarre than he’d first thought. And he knew bizarre. He’d been part of a circus.
A love story involving Billboard's Top 100, chopping firewood, and not looking like incognito serial killers when out on the town.

Summary
Things were Good. And when Things are Good, one should be grateful for that instead of pointlessly pining for more, wouldn't you agree?
While there certainly were universes in which Things could be described as Great or even Wonderful, it seemed wiser to Aziraphale not to dwell on that. After all it would not help anything, and one would do better to remember they were lucky enough to have avoided adjectives such as Bad, Disastrous or Reminiscent-of-the-smell-of-wet-dog-and-farts (not your typical adjective, yes, but still functional).
So if you were to ask Aziraphale about Things, he would offer you a polite smile and reply that oh it's all good, really, thank you for asking, although a small part of him might be thinking I suppose I would be happier if someone finally got rid of this elephant that has been sadly trumpeting in the room for about six thousand years, but then again is it really smart to move an elephant when you have no idea what it has been standing on this entire time?
