    Summary

    "Really," Crowley says, and laughs, sharp and mean. "They gave you the job and not the authority to run it? Well, isn’t that a surprise. If only someone had told you."

    "That's not how these things work! It's just—slow going, is all. Change takes time, Crowley."

    "Sure, yeah. Climb your way up, but not too much, ey?"

    "It's not about me," Aziraphale says, snappy, in that holier-than-thou voice. Crowley smiles mirthlessly, bares his teeth.

    "No, you're just a tool for the greater Good, are you. How's that working out, d'you think?"

    "Swimmingly, actually. The Metatron really appreciates my suggestions." He smiles—soft, wondrous, almost disbelieving. Crowley wants to scratch it out of his face. Wants to shake him until he comes to his senses and drops to his knees and begs him—

    "I always knew you were naive, but not this much," he hisses. "They're going to chew you up and put you through the grinder until you can't take it anymore and then, when you finally, finally snap, they'll cast you down like they did the rest of us."

    Aziraphale's eyes flick down once—to his mouth, Crowley realizes, and abruptly steps back, face prickling with shame. Shame, him. Imagine that.

    Summary

    There’s a beat of silence before Eddie asks, “About what?”

    “Huh?”

    “Christ, Harrington. What were you thinking about?”

    “Oh. Um—”

    About how I haven’t once stopped thinking about how it felt to wear your jacket. About how I still think about the way you looked at me while I was wearing it. About how I like guys and girls, but mostly about how I like you. About how I’m glad we met this spring, despite the horrible circumstances, because I don’t know if we would’ve started to hang out if those events never happened and I get a little sick thinking about it. About how badly I want to kiss you right now, touch you, date you.

    “It’s not important,” is what he settles on, ignoring the roar of his heartbeat in his ears and warmth of his cheeks.

    Summary

    “Is he whining about Eddie being mean to him again?” Robin is leaning in the doorway, eating a leftover slice that’s probably cold by now. “You talk about him more than you talk about girls, Steve, it’s getting concerning. Anyone would think you had a crush.”

    or, steve is pretty convinced eddie now hates him. turns out eddie has the opposite problem.
