    Summary

    “So, I was thinking that we should practice that too,” Gemini says, rolling over on his side to look at Fourth. “Like our own private workshops, maybe.”

    Fourth quirks an eyebrow, curious. “Practice what?”

    “Kissing.”

    OR: Fourth and Gemini practice kissing for their new series. What can go wrong by playing with fire?

    Summary

    Maybe this was the way he would die.
    Not by a bottle of pills like he once tried.
    Not by getting too mouthy to the wrong person.
    Not by his excessive drinking until he couldn’t feel a single ounce of the pain that usually ran through his veins like it was as important as blood.
    Not by the whispers in his head in a voice that is painfully resemblant of his late mother’s tone, insisting that he was never supposed to make it, that he didn’t belong here.

    A rewrite where Ray is a virgin and is a little more self aware than he was in the show.

    Summary

    "I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.

    Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.

    "Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.

    "Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."

    "Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.

    Summary

    There’s a battle strategy devised by humans many millennia ago that's designed to overcome an adversary who is particularly well entrenched. Some walls are too tall and thick for a frontal assault, and must instead be bested through sheer dogged stubbornness.

    Crowley and Aziraphale didn’t know it, but they were about to be put under siege.

     

    Fed up with an angel and a demon who are still avoiding any talk of Feelings, God starts to interfere. When it comes to the ineffable plan, sometimes things need a bit of a push.

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.
