    Summary

    "After that, he sees the patterns. The children cry in joy and fear and pain and pride for their ommies, their omas, their mohir. They kurat and frig and foxx each other for babies and fun and revenge. Even if he didn’t know every language, he knew he could turn a lost child around, point, and say “Mama.” He could, were he inclined, slip onto a chair in an establishment, raise an eyebrow over his glasses and ask, “fuck?” Sometimes he wakes from dreams of his Fall with those sobbing syllables of the Pit on his lips. Sometimes he watches the angel through a tipsy haze and wonders how to say what he wants in Enochian."

    Crowley watches language develop and learns how to communicate with an angel (and himself).

    Summary

    Aziraphale is terrified of Heaven looking over his shoulder. He is terrified of burning Crowley with his holy-water-touch. So he doesn't reach out. He never says a word. Aziraphale loves Crowley in the wordless and touchless way of a ghost.

    But there have always been languages for ghosts to speak.

    Summary

    Everything’s gone to shit. Aziraphale’s fucked off back to Heaven, and Crowley’s stuck down on Earth with a new angel who asks the most annoying questions, like they’re some kind of divine punishment. Then there’s all the weird dream he’s been having, the same one, over and over. Oh, yeah, and the bookshop’s haunted.

    Or,

    The shop’s always been able to do what it wants, within reason. There’d been that time in 1973 when it had manifested an extra room to hold Aziraphale’s unexpected stock of National Geographic magazines. Or the time Aziraphale brought in a new copy of Alice in Wonderland and they’d each had to answer a riddle to go down into the wine cellar. But Crowley’s never come across a single locked door in this bookshop in two hundred twenty-four years. It’s just - it’s not done. Something’s up with the shop. There’d been the thing with the jazz music from Crowley’s dream. Crowley’d figured it was just another one of the bookshop’s quirks, although the bookshop’s musical taste tends largely towards classical, naturally enough, with, of course, the exception that any Shostakovich left in the shop too long turns into a copy of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.

    Summary

    In good weather, one can see the lighthouse at the Rock from the shore: a dot on the horizon, a distant star flashing red and white and red again.

    It’s been dark for a fortnight, of course—ever since the incident that every newspaper had breathlessly written about, that the paper-boys on the corners had shouted themselves hoarse over.

    This is where Aziraphale is headed: it is his duty, after all, to find out what happened, to make sure that the beacon can be safely lit once again.

    He does not expect Crowley to follow him to the windswept isle, to the lonely lighthouse at what could just as well be the edge of the world.

    Crowley follows him anyway.
