    Summary

    It had been a long and emotional night. The fancy party had ended in mayhem and fire. And acts of gentle heroism.

    Ed was feeling a bit foolish, all dressed up with nowhere to go.

    Then Stede had presented him with his red, silk handkerchief, neatly folded, and placed it in his pocket, in the moonlight.

    Driven by an impulse neither can identify, they decide the evening's entertainments don't have to end, and embark on a friendly card game, spiced up with a few harmless wagers.

     

    Stede couldn’t shake the thought that there had been something between them. Something fragile but enticing. A sparkling, magnetic sort of pull that had come into being when Stede had placed the handkerchief in Ed’s pocket and had lasted beyond their slightly awkward goodnight’s, drawing them to turn towards each other, even as they tried to part.

     

    Ed had debated, back and forth, with himself about whether or not to give in to the weird instinct he felt. The one luring him to go to Stede, like the thrall of a siren’s song. He had leaned on the rail, watching the moon encrust the crests of the waves with diamonds, and had tried to work out why he had come so close to kissing Stede.

    Summary

    Aziraphale has been Anthony Crowley’s P.A. for ten years and it’s the perfect working relationship. After all, Crowley can’t think of a better person to work for than himself. So when Aziraphale announces, out of the blue, that he’s resigning — well, that just doesn’t make sense. There has to be something wrong with his assistant, right?

    Right?

    Summary

    Aziraphale heard the footsteps and scrape of the lock, which gave him a split second of warning before the door swung open. It was not enough time to prepare him. Perhaps no time would’ve been enough to prepare him. He’d thought to see Crowley as he always was, impeccably dressed, polished and impenetrable. Maybe even a little slurred with drink or sleep, if things had been really bad in the last month.

    The Crowley in front of him was—there was no other word for it—soft. His hair was mussed in places, sticking up on one side. He wore no glasses, and there were wrinkles from bedsheets across the side of his face. His feet were bare, and he wore a silky black robe loosely tied across his hips, exposing a long V of skin that started above his navel and traveled tantalizingly up to his clavicles. Aziraphale was so transfixed by the sharp jut of that collarbone that he completely missed the dumbfounded expression on Crowley’s face.

    *****
    A month after Aziraphale follows the Metatron into Heaven, he's gotten himself reassigned to earth. He's finally free to express his love...but Crowley isn't ready. Aziraphale comes up with a Plan.

    Summary

    If your friend gets into a sudden heat, and you get carried away yourself, surely it's smarter to stop as soon as possible, so things don't escalate too much.

    Right?

    Summary

    He stared at Azi appraisingly.

    “So. You have agreed to come here, of your own free will? To live with me, as my… companion?”

    Azi nodded. He supposed that was true.

    “Hmm.” Crowley’s tongue appeared briefly between his lips. It was very red. “Tell me, Azi. Have you ever met a demon before?”

     

    A Good Omens fairy tale, loosely based on the original story of Beauty and the Beast.
