    Summary

    After Amber's death, House lets Wilson go. Now he has to find him again.

    Diverges from canon after Dying Changes Everything and Not Cancer. Even though the show resolved everything neatly, I couldn't help thinking about how things might have turned out if Wilson really had left - what he might have done, where he might have gone, and how he and House might have fared in each other's absence. This is what I came up with.

    Summary

    "I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.

    Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.

    "Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.

    "Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."

    "Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.

    Summary

    "“D'you remember your first kiss?”

    She’s not really sure what dredged up the new topic of conversation. Just something not-work and non-important.

    “Yeah,”

    Vague. She’s not sure what she expected.

    “Well?”

    “‘Well’ what?” Hardy answered, accent getting rougher the way it did when the thought he was being asked a stupid question.

    “How was it, who was it with?”

    “It was with Tess. 'Was good.”

    “With Tess?” she stops to consider if she’s ever heard him mention another anyone, “That's a bit boring.”

    “Mm,” he didn’t bother refuting her comment."

    It's late at night and Ellie and Alec are awake. They end up discussing their first kisses.
