Love & Pride

Summary:

“S’called Pride,” Crowley told the Lord of the Files. “Deadly Sin, right? That’s why I need to go."

~ ~ ~

“It’s an important festival,” Aziraphale explained. “Very Virtuous, all about promoting Love. I really oughtn’t to miss it.”

Notes:

Way back in June and July I wrote a couple of drabbles inspired by the Good Omens Monthly Prompts, left them in a Google doc... and then never posted them. Recently remembered their existence and decided I might as well share them, so here's the first of the pair.

For the prompt "Pride."

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“S’called Pride,” Crowley told the Lord of the Files. “Deadly Sin, right? That’s why I need to go. Make sure they’re, um, Sinful enough.”

Dagon scowled, obligatorily. But they signed the time-off paperwork.

“It’s an important festival,” Aziraphale explained. “Very Virtuous, all about promoting Love. I really oughtn’t to miss it.”

The angel across the desk yawned… and stamped approval.

~ ~ ~

It was not, by celestial criteria, an extraordinarily Virtuous occasion. And it certainly wasn’t Sinful.

But they met, and they stood together: angel and demon, joining throngs of humans celebrating themselves and taking pride in their love.

It was beautiful.
