    Summary

    “I woke up like this because I had been plucking out feathers in my sleep,” Crowley said miserably. “And when I'm not paying attention, sometimes when I'm awake.”

    “And when you are paying attention?”

    “Sometimes then too.”

    Summary

    There are times, Crowley knows, when he is unbearable.

    It happens every hundred years or so. It all builds up inside him—the Fall, the temptations, the solitude, Aziraphale, Aziraphale—and before he knows it his hackles are rising far too easily, throat growling at things all too innocent. The humans around him never hesitate to recoil. They’re used to the handsome, smooth man with the edge of a bite; not one who is too cruel, too cutting, all teeth.

    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley, beloved TV star, and Azira Fell, serious stage actress, must attend the first show in the awards circuit for a film they recently shot together, Angelic Omens. Metatron Studios are keen to use the two and a half-days across which The Whickber Awards will take place to their advantage, by gauging how much interest there would be for Demonic Prophecies, the picture's potential sequel. Their single, compulsory suggestion? Presenting Anthony and Azira as a couple throughout the weekend to measure the public's reaction.

    Can our actors remain professional until the conclusion of the weekend? And how long before their double act begins to feel nothing like acting at all?

    Summary

    1941, London, take 3

    Aziraphale notices it as they near the bottom of the bottle, when the last jammy dregs cling to the inside of the glasses they’ve been nursing for some time, misted impressions of their fingerprints standing out against the otherwise crystalline surface.

    He’s not certain why he’s only seeing it now; perhaps Crowley has been able to hide it until the alcohol dismantled his characteristic defenses enough to expose his wincing.

    “Crowley,” Aziraphale asks, a little woozy himself, pleasantly inebriated from wine laced, ebbing adrenaline and the demon’s fire crackling presence, “are you quite alright, my dear?”

    His tongue is thick in his mouth, heavy, and clumsy, and aching for some reason, too; it’s odd, and a tad disconcerting.

    “‘M fine,” Crowley’s lightning quick reply is a mumbled, obvious lie he’s unable to twist into something convincing despite his efforts to do otherwise, “don’t worry ‘bout me, angel.”

    I do little else, Aziraphale nearly admits out loud, absurd you could even think otherwise, despite our differences, despite our pasts, despite our… everything.

    *

    Or, an imagining of what else may have transpired that night during the Blitz.
