    Summary

    "All I could think was that I needed to get home.” Aziraphale tried to give the word the slightest emphasis, to match Crowley, to say I heard, I appreciate, I agree without saying it.

    And that was how it always went: a series of flags and semaphore, codes, gestures as formalized and as intricate as ballet. I care. I care. Be careful.

    Then Aziraphale remembered where they were, what had happened that day, what was likely to happen tomorrow. Break glass in case of emergency, he thought.

    Summary

    Post Season 2

    Crowley can't keep away from the bookshop. It hurts seeing another angel in place of his own but not enough to stop him. As it turns out, he's not the only one who can't keep away and, unlike him, Aziraphale isn't in search of wine. For want of the right words to say, they find other ways to show how they feel.

    Summary

    Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can!

    (He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.)

    Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.
