    Summary

    AU, retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”. Quite honestly, sending Aziraphale off into the forest to be held hostage by a giant snake in a cursed castle isn’t even the worst thing Gabriel’s ever done to him, and at least it means a change of scene. But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting…

    Summary

    “Oh,” Gabriel’s eyes widened, hand coming to rest upon his chest. The smugness left his face, instantly replaced with realization and a hint of horror in his eerie, violet eyes. He was quiet for a long, unbearable pause.

    “Uh, what?” Crowley asked, lifting his head.

    Gabriel was staring at Aziraphale, looking positively astounded. “I feel it. I, this has been around you for a long time, but I feel it even more now. I guess because he’s actually here with you.”

    Aziraphale shifted on his feet anxiously, dread in the pit of his stomach. “What on earth are you talking about?”

    “You love him,” Gabriel said, almost in awe. It wasn’t an accusation, but a statement of fact.

    Crowley’s jaw dropped with an audible intake of breath and his sunglasses slid down the bridge of his nose. He whipped around to him.

    Aziraphale wanted to bolt.

    In which Gabriel can feel how much Aziraphale loves Crowley, and outs him.

    Summary

    Not for the first time since they ran away together, a camera reel of all the things they don't know about one another whirs behind Martin's eyes, and he can't help but look at all the sprawling magnetic tape and wonder if they’re going to wind up a romance or a tragedy.

    or: Office parties, garage bands, and the joy of being known.

    Summary

    Because they can’t see each other more than once every few decades, Aziraphale suggests that he and Crowley write to each other to pass the time apart. As quills for their letters, they exchange wing feathers: a gesture of great intimacy that Crowley is convinced only he perceives the depth of. But time will tell that it’s not just him who sees it that way.
