My Tongue Could Hardly Bear To Curse You by spinninginfinityboy
Fandoms: Our Flag Means Death (TV)
24 Apr 2022

Summary
The kraken which holds his arm in check blossoms like a bruise down his side to make its home just behind the jagged and swollen marks of his survival. Izzy’s mouth goes dry as he looks at it, despite everything, looks and looks and follows it downwards, and he can’t even pretend it’s because he’s afraid any more. Not for himself. And Izzy Hands does not fear for others, not any more. Not when protecting Edward had turned him - turned both of them - into this.

Summary
“If I have learned anything these past few days, it is the importance of understanding one another.”
There’s a heaviness to the words which speaks of some deeper meaning, but if there is one, Flint cannot parse it. It has been a long time since he cared to try. If there is a world in which he does not have to spend his every waking moment second guessing John Silver, that is the world upon which he has set his sights. The alternative seems only exhausting.One way or another, Flint and Silver learn how to communicate.

Boyd moans low in his throat, the tip of his tongue tracing the split skin with the same reverence he last tasted a lady's cunt.

Summary
"Mind you," Blanky adds at length, with a smirk that quite possibly counts as insubordinate, "more'n one way to split a man in two and end with him beneath you."
"I don't take your meaning."
"Well pardon me for assuming, Commander, but I rather thought you the type to take my meaning well."

Summary
"Who the fuck would marry you," laughs Dufresne, spittle flecking his chin. "They'd have to be mad."
At that moment, finally, the door to the cabin bursts open and Silver stops, mid-stride, taking in the scene before him with wide eyes. His mouth hangs open, lips parted and frozen in the instant before speech. Flint looks up at him and grins.
"Him," he says. "I'm marrying him."

Summary
Newly transferred from the bagne and entering his first post as a police officer, Javert is sent to Montfermeil to oversee a winter festival. When the coach breaks down and leaves him stranded in a small town with no clear route onwards, his only hope of getting there on schedule lies in whatever strange errand Monsieur Madeleine has set out upon. The two travelling companions must find their way to Montfermeil before Christmas day, and perhaps find something unexpected along the way.
Or; I rewatched Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and gave the story to some characters living before any of those things really existed

Summary
When Tommy met James for the first time, he didn't pay him much heed, other than perhaps a moment of relief at Ada's choice of lodger. A second chance encounter, however, leads him down a path he's never walked before; a path of underground speakeasies, crimes of passion, uneasy alliances, and the mysterious Fergus Donovan, who Tommy is certain has a secret. Fire sparks, lies are told, and lessons are learned.
Set approximately during season 2, updated approximately every few days.

Summary
“I don’t know why they keep sending me here,” said Crowley, looking over the top of his sunglasses down the length of George Street. Aziraphale hummed in what might be agreement, but might just be a noise of disgust at the taste of his plastic cup of wine.
What Aziraphale and Crowley actually get up to on their quick miracles in Edinburgh, just seeing as they're in town for the festival

Summary
He spoke as he waited for the candle wax to melt a little, musing aloud.
“You do make such a pretty picture, Crowley, all open like this. I love to see you relax.”
“You could certainly do a little more to relax me.”
Aziraphale chuckled.
“All in good time.”

Summary
“How do you get forgiven?”
Aziraphale blinks. He hasn’t considered this, and certainly hadn’t been expecting to be asked about it so frankly. He’s also pretty certain Crowley must have an ulterior motive here, but for the life of him he doesn’t know what it might be. Besides, he’s an angel. Helping sinners is… well, it’s what he’s meant for.
“Well you could always try… kneeling.” That sounded good. Warming to his theme, Aziraphale continues. “Yes, you kneel, and you appreciate all that is beautiful in Her creation. You apologize for your sins – repent, as it were. And then you pledge to devote yourself to God, or to a saint or an angel. And She forgives you.”
A wicked smirk crosses Crowley’s face, his eyes flashing with hellfire.
“Kneeling,” he says, rolling the word around his mouth as though tasting it. “I could kneel. If that’s what you suggest.”

Summary
"Do you want me to open the blinds?”
“Heaven, no. People might think it an invitation to enter. Let me just-“
With a moment’s careful focus a soft light forms in the air and begins slowly to strengthen. Crowley’s jaw drops.
“Angel, are- are you-?”
The silver light is soft and warm, reminiscent of moonlight on a summer’s night. It has no physical source; it simply exists, loosely ringing Aziraphale’s head and fluctuating in intensity whenever he needs it to. Crowley swallows hard.
“I’m- I just- Th- I’ve never seen it. Your, uh. Yeah. Before.”
He gestures, a little futilely, to Aziraphale’s newly visible halo. Aziraphale flushes gently.
“I don’t exactly go around showing it off."

It ends, as it began, with a garden.
Aziraphale tuts.
"Don't you find it a little... I don't know, on the nose?"

Summary
It was something that boys did, Polly thought, a little defensively. She knew they did. They hardly seemed to shut up about it. And alright, the mechanics were a little different, but in the process of learning how to fake it convincingly she’d found herself trying out a few things, things she got rather good at, and was not a little put out by the discovery that she couldn’t even snatch five minutes- well, okay, fifteen, if she could get it- to put it to good use. If nothing else, she could use the stress relief.
