    Summary

    Is this what he wants? He wants Crowley cave in his own chest and hand over his shipwrecked heart? Torn apart and riddled with shrapnel, stinging at the salt from the sea? He’s going to drown here, and his face won’t show a second of it. This isn’t a pond anymore, and he’s not going to take Aziraphale with him. The frothing waters and salted spray are hidden firmly behind his icy set jaw and steely pupils.
     
    Crowley told Aziraphale a lie, so he comes clean. But telling the truth is a bit like pulling loose threads— sometimes the whole thing unravels.

    Summary

    A swell of assurance burned in his chest as his hands fussed over one another. It was decided then. It wasn’t a blessing, but he’d gotten his thoughts out and his white wings weren’t beginning to smolder. Heaven wasn’t watching. At least, anyone who would… anyone like Gabriel. After all, for millennia, he might have allowed himself to be oblivious to Her omniscience, pretending that she couldn’t know exactly what was going on between him and Crowley, but even on the Garden wall, he had known that She only asked him where his flaming sword was because She wanted to hear his answer.
    “I’ll go see him, then, see what’s the matter. I’ll hold his hand again. It seemed to calm him down on the bus.” Aziraphale’s eyes finally flicked back to the room around him, a hum rumbling in his chest as he rushed to his coat rack before the wind in his sails could die down.
    A screech brought him to a dead halt, his hands flicking from his coat to cover his ears as he did his best not to cringe. Tyres squalled outside, but there was no sound of collision. Instead, they ceased just outside the bookshop, the sound of a metal door slamming quick to follow.

    Summary

    Aziraphale strokes his face, and Crowley, ever the swooning ocean tide, leans into it as if Aziraphale is his moon.

    “It pleases me to see you like this.” Aziraphale says, eyes warm yet distant.

    Crowley looks down at his clothes and back up again.

    “Muddy?” he tries and revels in the giggle and soft whack on the arm it earns him.

    “No, silly.” Aziraphale says, and reaches up to tuck a wayward red curl behind his spouse’s ear. “It’s good to see you so carefree, so happy. You’re positively glowing.” Aziraphale pauses and glides careful fingers over the golden band he himself put on Crowley’s ring finger. “I love seeing you so unabashedly yourself.”

    Summary

    The story of a sick and lonely demon appearing uninvited on an angel's bookshop sofa, and all of the events thereafter.

    (Learning to let yourself be loved is one of the hardest things someone can do. Crowley may be learning slowly, but they have all the time in the world.)
