    Summary

    The ink hadn’t even dried up on Jayce’s PhD diploma when the job offer landed in his inbox. Prestigious, well-funded, and in a country he had never even considered moving to. At the time, it had seemed like the opportunity of a lifetime.

    But being there now, staring at a stack of unread emails, most of them marked urgent in varying degrees of exaggeration, Jayce wonders if he’d been a little too eager to say yes.

    He came here to innovate, teach, and change the game, but lately, it feels like he spends more time fighting bureaucracy than breaking ground.

    And there’s also Viktor.

    Jayce tries to keep his longings locked, but fails miserably

    Summary

    Ever since they retired, Crowley and Aziraphale have taken turns drawing out one another's fantasies — and then fulfilling them. This is the story of an angel who wants to be in the middle of a group, and the demon committed to bringing that desire to life, despite not wanting anyone else's hands on Aziraphale ever again.

    Summary

    The angel was gone. Zipped up to heaven like reverse lightning, leaving Crowley behind as scorched remnants of the current touching the earth. He certainly felt scorched. Something long scabbed over itched in him, a reminder of how it felt for Her grace to be ripped away. How in the first days, his body ached and shocked at the loss, a sort of phantom limb sensation sparking at his being.

    Crowley puts himself back together, much in the same fashion as he had a couple thousand years prior.

    Summary

    Fifteen years have passed since Aziraphale returned to Heaven, and still sometimes Crowley feels shell shocked and embarrassed and grief-stricken. And mostly, he still feels numb. Fifteen years isn’t really so long, in the grand scheme of things, and yet these have somehow been the longest years of his existence. He can almost feel time crawling by, laughing at him.

    But slowly, so slowly, Crowley began to try again. To try harder. To find a piece of himself that Aziraphale had not touched. To find a piece of himself that does not need changing.

    On his good days, he can open up. His friends come over to the flat, once in a while, and Maggie brings new records and Muriel brings burnt cookies that no-one complains about because they're so proud of them. They'll exchange stories and simply enjoy each other's company for a few hours.

    And sometimes, he feels almost alright.

    Until Crowley turns around and Aziraphale is there, standing in front of him, trying to stop the world from ending all over again.
