    Summary

    Gale is unsure of who he is. A prodigy, a powerhouse a good man. Yet he is, has been, capable of such horrors.

    [Spoilers for evil/attack the grove runs and generally up to the beginning of act 3].

    Summary

    Gale was close enough to see Astarion’s nostrils flare as he took in a great, deep breath, chest heaving with the effort. His scarlet eyes gleamed in the moonlight, open so wide and staring with such rapt attention straight into his own. Through him. It made Gale feel small. And important, maybe.

    Sometimes Gale has impossibly big feelings and the only way he knows to cope is with endless rumination and denial that basically amounts to sticking his fingers in his ears and shouting. Such a coping mechanism may prove inadequate for dealing with the walking, talking, plucked-from-his-guilty-conscience fantasy that is Astarion. And it doesn’t help that Astarion has a smile that makes his heart sing, along with being, probably, the first real friend he’s ever had. (Tressyms excluded, of course.)

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.

    Summary

    When Maggie opens a Yelp-page for Aziraphale's bookshop, nobody is prepared for a bunch of conspiracy theorists to find it. Unfortunately they do, and now they're trying to prove that the shop's owner must be a vampire, a hypnotist, or even something as outlandish as an angel. It probably doesn't help that Crowley keeps encouraging them...

    But despite that, even the sane parts of the internet seem to be having a blast following the bookshop's history through war, fire, romance, temporary abandonment, and a tooth-rottingly sweet happy ending – all through the lens of a couple of Yelp reviews.

    Summary

    “I read the books about you,” Muriel said matter-of-factly.

    Crowley wasn’t following. “The books about me?”

    “The letter books to Aziraphale’s friend Diary? You must know them. They must be an angel, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them before.”

    Crowley coughed heavily. “You’ve read Aziraphale’s diary?”
