16. Tree Trimming

Summary:

Crowley has been cultivating a tree for a specific purpose, it is finally time.

Work Text:

Crowley went into the plant room with a small box and headed into the corner, pulling a plant out of hiding.

“Time to shine.”

He decorated the small tree with memories collected over hundreds of years. Theater tickets, a preserved flower, a pinecone, a bookmark, a wooden duck (or three), a string of pearls draped near the top, a tiny sword letter opener, a snake, a swath of ancient silk … other bits and baubles representing six thousand years.

He brought it to the sitting room and placed it. Aziraphale came up, placed an apple at the top.

He beamed. “Perfect.”
