Summary
Rosa melanthia. An innocent enough name. The Greek literally just means “black flower.” Apropos for a blossom that once had such dark petals… and a dark purpose. Trust Hell to try and cultivate it, to harness its insidious power in other forms.
Hell tricks Crowley into drinking mead made from the melanthia flower, one with pollen that keeps a person from being able to find release until they succumb to their deepest desires, no doubt expecting the former demon to crave something, well, demonic, and humiliate himself or hurt the people around him in search of that release. Fortunately, Aziraphale comes immediately to help him. Unfortunately, Aziraphale is going to have to get out of his own head before he can really give Crowley what he wants and needs.
