    Summary

    “You’re staring.”

    “Oh dear,” says Aziraphale, completely unapologetic. “How rude of me.”

    Crowley begins to smile something slow, bright, and lovely, but he schools it with a bite to his lower lip. Aziraphale thinks of the way he looked two millennia ago, pressed up against the wall with Aziraphale's blessing healing his wounds, the only demon to experience divine ecstasy and live to tell the tale. How Aziraphale's hands itch to do it again, and again, and again. Crowley opens his mouth as if to say something, but then stops and spins around instead to go back to stirring the curry.

    “Shut up,” he says to the stove, flustered.

    Just under two thousand years ago, long before Crowley and Aziraphale raised the believed-Antichrist together, Aziraphale is tasked to influence a young boy toward good: the future Emperor Nero. Crowley can’t help but linger and do some influencing of his own.

    Summary

    “But you admit it! You did tempt me!”

    “I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

    He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”

    “Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”

    Summary

    It's November, 1847. There's famine in Ireland, and Crowley's been ordered there to buy some souls for Satan. Per the Arrangement, and due to Crowley's little misunderstanding with St. Patrick, Aziraphale winds up going instead.

     

    Things do not go according to plan.

     

    This debacle is almost the end of the Arrangement. But it's also almost the beginning of...something else.
    ***
    Though this is not the main point of the story, it does kind of help explain a) why Crowley slept through so much of the 19th century (in the novel) and b) why Crowley and Aziraphale are being so prickly with each other in the 1860s during the first Holy Water conversation (in the adaptation).
