    Summary

    Any ostensibly casual get-together or holiday with the Roys always carried an undercurrent of bitter tension, every conversation an edge of competition. A lot of ultra-wealthy families are like this, so Stewy’s not unfamiliar—he has one particularly psychotic uncle back in Tehran who would give Logan Roy a run for his money—but the Roys are perhaps uniquely cult-like.

    One part of the sacred dogma of the Roy cult is the annual tennis tournament at their Hamptons estate.

     

    In 1998, Stewy spends a weekend with the Roy family.

    Summary

    “You know that conversation we had the other day about how one of the most important things for queer youth to learn is that it's okay to change their minds, because identity and self-discovery are always fluid?”

    Behind him, Martin slipped oven mitts over his hands and pulled open the oven door. The scent of garlic and rosemary flooded the kitchen. “Yeah?” he said.

    “I, um... I'd like to revisit the topic of sex.”

    Summary

    Martin is grinning at his phone when Jon comes home. This is not an unusual occurrence, but Jon can sense that the particularly smug smile being levelled at him means that whatever is entertaining the man has something to do with Jon.

    “Yes?” he asks once he has dumped the day at the door. “What have I done now?”

    Summary

    CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
    AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
    CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
    AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
    CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.

     

    ***

    Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

    But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?
