Summary
A retelling of the fairy tale set in the early Victorian Era.
Viola Weston is desperate to pay off her family's debts. Stubborn and self-reliant, she would rather look for work than seek an advantageous marriage. She is utterly unprepared for her eccentric new employer's beastly appearance--but quickly charmed by his warm heart and cheerful disposition.
Albert Carlyle is lonely: cursed from birth with a monstrous form, but coldly tolerated by society for his wealth. People are afraid of him, no matter how hard he tries to make himself agreeable. He has resigned himself to a quiet life collecting butterflies and ignoring judgmental whispers--until Viola upends his comfortable, complacent existence.
Can Viola set aside her pride long enough to accept his help? Can Albert find the courage to make his affections known? Or will the cruelties of the world tear their budding relationship apart?

Summary
Pip and Estella met by chance in the ruins of the house where she once rejected him, eleven years older, sadder, and wiser. They have both learned and grown from their experiences, but they can't quite let each other go. Pip's friends and family are (understandably) wary when he allows his old flame back into his life, but his love for her is far from blind or naive.
Is it too late for second chances? Can Estella learn to open her heart to vulnerability? Can they start over again and build something new, or will the past come back to haunt them?

Summary
Aziraphale felt his cheeks flush pink. “Yes. Well. It appears to be a curse for a cheating lover. The design is to create an ever-increasing obsessive need for the person who—”
“I’m well aware of what it does,” Crowley interrupted. Aziraphale glanced up from the book and took in Crowley’s stance, the apparent lax posture belied by the way he was clutching the edge of the countertop with white knuckles. Aziraphale swallowed.
“Is it…” Aziraphale faltered, then tried again. “Is it…” painful is how he told himself he wanted to finish the question. There was no other possible word to end that question that Aziraphale wanted to know.
“Don’t play dumb, angel. It doesn’t suit you.” Crowley’s voice was low, an edge of something to it that Aziraphale hadn’t heard since the Tadfield airbase, the moment Crowley was ready to give up and accept the apocalypse. He met Aziraphale’s eyes. “You know who I want.”

Summary
The remains of the bookshop slump on its corner, blackened and mangled, no more than a shamble of bones and broken glass. The windows yawn into empty, hollow sockets; the front doors hang from their hinges, twisted and splintered by heat. Bricks have fallen here and there from the upper floors, littering the ground like so many teeth.
The careful gold lettering above the door, A.Z. Fell and Co., has been scorched away.
*After Armageddon, Crowley takes Aziraphale to see the bookshop.

Summary
“It's just us,” Crowley says, quieter now Aziraphale is looking at him. “Like I said before. There's not really sides anymore. At least for now. And it could be the only chance we ever get. To try it. Just for a bit.”
