Summary
"Ed?"
"Uh. Yeah, sorry mate, you're gonna have to go to the crew's ensuite. I'm doing stuff in here. Normal stuff."
"Lucius said you weren't feeling very well."
"I fucking knew that little bastard would rat me out."
-
Ed is hiding in the bathroom doing normal stuff that is definitely not vomiting or feeling miserable.

Summary
"Well, if it isn't the great Captain Crowley, most famed and ruggedly handsome pirate in all the Spanish Main," said the loathsome, detestable Lord Ravencroft, utterly indifferent to the tiny gasp from behind him. "How good of you to join us. I had rather hoped that my little invitation would entice you here."
Captain Crowley, most famed and ruggedly handsome pirate in all the Spanish Main, didn’t even look at the villainous blackguard. His gaze went instead to the reprobate’s captive, the lovely, buxom maiden tied ‘round a rather out-of-place column, her eyes wide and starry as she beheld her daring rescuer.

Summary
A collection of short fics written for drawlight's advent calendar challenge. Expect lots of fluff and silliness. :)
UPDATE: I did fall off the wagon with these in December, but it's still cold and I'm stubborn so I'm picking up where I left off! There's too much post-holiday winter anyway.

5+1 Times Crowley Rescued Aziraphale According to the Romantic Tropes of the Era, and One Time Aziraphale Turned It Around on Him (plus Prologue)
Let's be real, the Bastille was definitely not the only time Aziraphale "Swooning Maiden" Ziraphale got Anthony "Just Wants to Get to Be the Hero" Crowley to rescue him. Here is an utterly self-indulgent selection of further rescues through the ages, complete with 16th-century literary tropes and everyone involved being a complete dork, because I'm writing the fanfiction I want to see in the world.
Fic is pre-written, and a chapter will be posted every Friday!

Summary
“Speaking of which,” Aziraphale began carefully. “You did mention lunch, and -- it’s not that I’m questioning your excellent taste, it’s just -- I can’t help wondering --”
“Where the Hell are we?!” Crowley interrupted, craning their neck in slightly unnatural ways to take in their surroundings.

A bit that didn't quite make it into the Regency swashbuckler chapter of A Few More Rescues. Featuring French food and a wall push. :)

Summary
Andy smiled at Stede and Ed hated him like he’d just torched Ed’s ship and murdered his entire crew – worse than that even. Because ships and crews were disposable, but Andy the shipwright was treading on something that was as damn near to sacred as anything Ed had ever known.
Or: the co-captains hire a carpenter to fix up their ship and Ed gets jealous.

Summary
It’s not lying, not really. Every grown person who’s ever been to a carnival knows that there’s a certain quota of giant glorified pillows-with-eyes that they can give out each day and still turn a profit. Everyone also knows that aforementioned pillows-with-eyes could easily be purchased on Amazon at a fraction of the cost of the game. They’re cheap and they’re crap and they’re probably stuffed with asbestos and likely to fall apart within a year. But the kids don’t know that. And if it’s wrong to lie to kids, then tell that to whoever-the-fuck invented Santa Claus, or the folks that keep up the guise that there’s some deranged hoarder-fairy that steals teeth in the night. Ed doesn’t even consider it lying, because there’s an art to it. You have to be likeable, affable. You have to seem like you’re on the player’s side. Lying is just lying. What Ed does is the Art of Fuckery.
Well. What Ed usually does is the Art of Fuckery.
Today might be the day Ed finally botches the rules.
There’s this guy, right?
(OR: Ed works a sideshow alley game at a carnival. But there's this GUY, right?)

Summary
Stede is recovering from a bout of pneumonia which forces him to sleep separately to Ed. That arrangement lasts about as long as you would expect.
