    Summary

    NOW IT IS TIME FOR QUESTIONS FROM OUR LISTENERS. TODAY WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM BYLETH, COMMANDER OF THE MEPHITIC LEGIONS. OH, IT’S A QUESTION FOR THE ANGEL.

    Crowley’s hands clenched on the steering wheel.

    BYLETH, COMMANDER OF THE MEPHITIC LEGIONS, WRITES, “CROWLEY IS A CRAVEN TRAITOR SO WE UNDERSTAND WHY HE ASSOCIATES WITH AN ANGEL. BUT WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE ANGEL? WHAT IS HE GETTING OUT OF THIS?”

    “That’s a good question,” said Aziraphale.

    Crowley glared at him. “No, it isn’t.”

    Cut off from access to Earth, the hosts of Hell find other ways to torment Crowley. Aziraphale provides a refuge.

    Summary

    After abandoning the Earth in the wake of a more environmental apocalypse, humanity has taken to the stars. Crowley stayed behind to restore the Earth; Aziraphale followed the humans into space. After almost two centuries, the latest prophet arrives in Aziraphale’s archive, determined to rectify this.

    We’ve all been assuming that it takes them 6,000 years to figure it out, but what if it takes 6,300?

    Summary

    To save each other from Heaven and Hell, Aziraphale and Crowley become human. Things, predictably, do not go as planned.

    Crowley thought about what he’d come there to do. He thought about what it meant, in the context of God’s warning. Really thought. There wouldn’t be hopping from restaurant to restaurant with his best friend for the next six thousand years (give or take). There wouldn’t be any more miracles, or tempting. There wouldn’t be any skirting Hell’s wrath for eternity. And when it was over, the deepest, darkest, horriblest pits would be reserved for him.

    Crowley said, “Will you make me human, too?”

    Summary

    After Aziraphale leaves, Crowley gets on with things. He reads one of Aziraphale’s favorite books. Every now and then, Aziraphale calls from Heaven. Sometimes they even talk.

    Crowley awoke later that night to the sound of his telephone ringing. He fell out of his armchair, stomped over to the phone, and picked it up. “Muriel?”

    “Who? Oh, no.” A pause. “Crowley? Is that you?”

    It wasn’t Muriel. “The one and only,” Crowley said stupidly.

    There was a long silence. “Oh,” said Aziraphale on the other end, at last.

    “You sound very surprised about that for someone who called me.”

    “I thought I would get your answering machine.” Aziraphale sounded quite far away, farther than usual when they spoke on the phone. Perhaps Heaven’s connection wasn’t very good.

    “Well, you’ve got me,” Crowley said, without thinking about it.

    Summary

    Aziraphale, Supreme Archangel of the Heavenly Host, is just minding his own business. Really. It's not like he's trying to get summoned to Earth during highly important archangelic duties. And Crowley's not trying to summon him, he swears, but somehow it still keeps happening...

    Now, if they could only figure out why?

    Summary

    I have lived my whole life with a wrecked heart. Fr. Aziraphale Fell’s present mirrors his past, as long ago roommate, classmate, and former friend Anthony Crowley reappears in his life in an unexpected and disarming way, challenging Aziraphale’s choices, and bringing him back to the breaking point, when he made a decision he couldn’t take back. It isn’t temptation, it’s revelation.

    Summary

    Aziraphale, it seemed, was being forced, and not for the first time, to sup with the devil – or rather, not the devil, obviously, but certainly a member of his senior management team. Still. He was exceedingly thirsty.

    Summary

    I'll be your mirror; reflect what you are, in case you don't know.

    Crowley drummed his fingers briefly against his mug, and then sat back a little in his chair. He gave Aziraphale a long, appraising glance, and then seemed to come to some decision. “Listen, angel,” he said, “let me pitch you something.”

    Lulled by the familiar patter of Crowley’s voice as he was, Aziraphale still recognised this to be vaguely dangerous territory. He swallowed. “Go on,” he said.

    Summary

    “It’s just,” he continued, “I’ve noticed that humans—some humans, anyway—they use that word, angel, as a…well, as a sort of…endearment.”

    “Do they?” said Crowley, who had invented using the word as an endearment in the 13th century AD.

    ‘I assume your punishment involved the destruction of the demon, but I am not aware of the details,’ says the Angel. ‘The description was redacted from your file and labelled “Highly Classified” with a red stamp.’

    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

    “But you admit it! You did tempt me!”

    “I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

    He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”

    “Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”

    'I need you to tell me how to find a human willing to have sex with me, and then how to persuade them to actually do it in the least unpleasant way possible for everyone involved. If I don’t manage at least one seduction, I’m going to get recalled back Down There.’

    Aziraphale stared at Crowley for a moment. ‘I think…’ he said delicately, ‘that we should have that drink.’
