    Summary

    Responsibility. Eternity. Paperwork. The endless struggle to express the Divine Will of God as a series of motivational posters. Dagon's last memo that underfiends are licking the walls again, in spite of three coats of Bitrex. What do Heaven's most put-upon Archangel and Hell's least impressed Demon Prince need to shake up their eternal existences?

    (Hint: it might or might not be a foul-tempered goose in a cardboard box.)

    Summary

    Gabriel frowns. “Why do you want to try to dress the way I did when appearing before Mary?”

    “For the nativity play,” Aziraphale says, because the truth will set you free, or maybe at least turn away an archangel.

    “The nativity…play?”

    Aziraphale nods. “Yes, it’s a dramatic retelling of the night Jesus was born, and the circumstances that led up to it,” he trails off, and finishes weakly. “I’m meant to be you.”
    ---
    When Aziraphale, through no fault of his own, is signed up to play the part of the archangel Gabriel in the Soho Community theatre's Christmas play, he is reluctant, but won over. After all, what's the worst that can happen?

    There's this sentence in one of these, and it's brilliant. Perhaps the second one?

    Summary

    Elena was on her way home from class when she happened to turn her head at just the right moment and saw it through the window of the bookshop.

    It being a large, black snake curled up on a chair in the last patches of quickly fading sunlight.

    Elena jerked to a stop with a gasp, right in the middle of the pavement. She all but pressed her face to the window, studying the snake curiously. It was quite large, even coiled as it was in its big leather armchair, and although its golden eyes appeared to be open, she could tell that it was probably snoozing. “What a beautiful creature,” Elena said to herself in a hushed, awed voice, and then made the snap decision to go inside the shop for another look.

    Summary

    Crowley laughs. He can’t help it. And the wine is very good.
    “What’s funny?” Aziraphale asks.
    “Are you joking?” Crowley tilts his head to look at him over his glasses. “No, nothing at all, this is all perfectly normal. Very dull conversation really.”
    Aziraphale smiles back. “What’s funnier, dear boy? That I’ve considered it or that you haven’t?”
