    Summary

    Aziraphale is a deeply religious man with strong convictions against slavery. However, he is also a lawyer for a firm who has been hired by the largest slave corporation in the world. His boss offers him an ultimatum along with a great deal of money and physical violence-- buy a slave or become one himself. Aziraphale bends the proverbial knee and looks through the shops but doesn't find what he's looking for. A chance encounter on a walk home from work offers him the way out. He could rescue the man in the alley and take him in. And once the case is done, he'll free him.

    Crowley doesn't know what to expect when a stranger tries to befriend him in the alley he had been dumped in to die. It's most definitely a trick and a trap all in one but it's either this weird man who wants to feed and clothe him in exchange for owning him or to die here. And for all the life he's lived so far, Crowley doesn't want to die. He takes the chance and lets Aziraphale take him in, changing the course of their lives forever. And not just their lives, but the lives of those around them.
