    Summary

    “No, I’m sorry Pen, I’ve claimed you now and I’m keeping you,” Colin declared, finally stilling his wandering hands to give her a chance to catch her breath. “Best friends forever, we’ll get matching tattoos and one of those heart necklaces that breaks in half.”

    Summary

    “I know you’re awake, Eve,” Villanelle says softly. “I’ve been thinking. I’ve never seen you smile.”

    “You can’t be very funny, then,” Eve replies, pressing her lips together.

    “I am very funny. I don’t try, mind you, but people tell me so.”

    “I’m not people.”

    “No,” Villanelle murmurs. “You’re really not.”

    ~

    The train from Aberdeen to London takes eight hours, give or take. Eight hours in which Eve and Villanelle have naught to do but – God forbid – talk.

    Summary

    “You’re staring.”

    “Oh dear,” says Aziraphale, completely unapologetic. “How rude of me.”

    Crowley begins to smile something slow, bright, and lovely, but he schools it with a bite to his lower lip. Aziraphale thinks of the way he looked two millennia ago, pressed up against the wall with Aziraphale's blessing healing his wounds, the only demon to experience divine ecstasy and live to tell the tale. How Aziraphale's hands itch to do it again, and again, and again. Crowley opens his mouth as if to say something, but then stops and spins around instead to go back to stirring the curry.

    “Shut up,” he says to the stove, flustered.

    Summary

    “Look at them,” Aziraphale says softly, but his gaze is unfixed and he’s not talking about anyone in particular. Just the city as a whole, just the unlikely rise of glass and steel, the improbable pinpoints of pale lamplight and neon flickering to life as London begins to wake: the implausible reality of the life humanity has built for itself here out of nothing but courage and tenacity and hope. “Look at everything they’ve done. Everything they can do.”

    *

    It’s the first day, but it’s an old story.
