Summary
“Angel?” Crowley hissed, his voice issuing from the Bentley’s speakers in a crackle of static. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing,” replied Aziraphale in a tone of perfect innocence. “We’re getting along terribly well together.”
In which Crowley can feel when Aziraphale drives his car.

Summary
On a stormy desert night, a roaring giant of a man turned to Darcy Lewis and she tasered him in the chest.
She didn’t hesitate, wince, or apologize.
If you don’t want to get electrocuted by a 5’5” girl, don’t charge at her on a dark and stormy night. Dangerous things come in small packages.
You’d think Loki’s brother would know that—but, ah, yes, back then Thor still had a lot to learn.
(a character sketch of Darcy Lewis)

Silence Is the Speech of Love by lady_ragnell for samyazaz
Fandoms: Les Misérables - All Media Types
24 Jan 2014
Tags
Summary
Grantaire's life has a pattern: he pays his respects to Aphrodite, he goes to work, he loves Enjolras and provokes him because he can't bring himself to do otherwise. That seems unlikely to change, at least until Enjolras speaks out against the gods and ends up cursed. Grantaire does his best to help him, but it turns out it's just as hard to love Enjolras up close as it is from afar.

Summary
The merchant, Gnaeus, who had sold Marcus this property, had spoken of a solid main building, of well-kept pens and fertile soil, all newly abandoned by deceitful tenants and only cheap because he was tired of the whole business and wanted the land off his hands for good. He had talked of neighbours and a village nearby with opportunities of trade, but he had entirely failed to mention that the house lay deep in tribal country.

Earth Management is a good employer, but they maybe need to work on protocols for sending memos, especially where humans are concerned. It's not nice to have Evolution yell at you while you're making hot chocolate.

Summary
“You’re bleeding,” Fitz says idly. He’s splintered across five different screens right now, two of which are hanging in front of his eyes and making him see everything double. Not on purpose, but it’s not his fault he can’t reprogram his eyes to move independently. Simmons could, probably, but that’s not a topic he’s particularly enthusiastic about broaching. She would probably change her mind halfway through and add a few extra lenses or something, and enhanced vision isn’t exactly something he’s a huge fan of at the moment. Enough artificial eyes nearly blowing your fingers off can do that, and in this case “enough” means one.

Summary
Enjolras was an ice-maiden. Enjolras was a Valkyrie who rode through grey skies and never looked at the ground. She ran Les ABC with an iron fist, but as far as Grantaire knew, she lived like a nun; in a small circle full of incestuous hook-ups and girlfriend-swapping, she was an island without bridges, an ivory tower without a door.

Summary
He’s always wary of making assumptions; even more so when Grantaire is concerned. He knows he’s not the easiest person to deal with. People either like him or can’t stand him, and it’s easy to respond to those reactions, but Grantaire—Grantaire is hostile and mocking, Grantaire scorns his beliefs, and Grantaire stays.
