    Summary

    “You know,” Aziraphale said quietly, “I did see you in the cafeteria earlier. You were wearing sunglasses, but Shadwell said it was you.”

    “That was you? I heard that!”

    Aziraphale started to laugh. His laughter sounded like bells.

    Crowley smiled too, completely involuntarily. “Gabriel’s always on me about those glasses. Says they aren’t part of the uniform. But other people get to wear glasses!”

    “I do believe that’s because they need them to see.”

    “So do I! Well. When the sun’s up. Can’t stand the bloody thing. Too Scottish, not used to it.”


    The year is 1908.

    The RMS Laetitia just left the port in Liverpool to go across the ocean to New York.

    Crowley has been a seaman for years, and on the Laetitia for a couple of months. It’s not his first journey, nor will it be his last.

    But when one of the officers sends him to find binoculars for the lookouts, he meets the crew’s latest addition. His name is Aziraphale.
