    Summary

    Crowley hasn't used his wings since the Fall. They didn't save him then, and he doesn't like the reminder.

    Aziraphale is not the kind of angel who takes No for an answer.

     

    “What if I fall?”

    “I’ll catch you.”

    The angel means it. His own wings are radiant, majestic, powerful; Crowley’s just watched, transfixed, helplessly in love (did it show?) as Aziraphale put away the fusty bookseller’s kit, became all light, faint shapes of great and mighty beasts interpenetrating his form as he soared and plunged, joyful in the late afternoon sunbeams. He’s a Principality, whose job has always been protection, and a warrior of Heaven, deceptively strong and implacable under that diffident manner. He would. He’d catch me.

    Crowley imagines how that would feel.

    Summary

    He had the sudden and almost overwhelming desire to reach out and take Crowley’s hand. An absurd notion, of course. In 6000 years, Crowley had never shown any inclination towards physical affection for Aziraphale, despite their shared feelings. Aziraphale had long ago accepted that any gentle touch from him would have Crowley stepping hastily away and otherwise ignoring Aziraphale’s attempts. Or at least he had accepted it, until their delicate status quo had been disrupted.

    Aziraphale jumps to some very inaccurate conclusions.

    Summary

    “Would you like to explain why you’re watching pornography? In your bookshop? During business hours?”

    Aziraphale flaps his hand, typically dismissive of any criticisms of his abysmal business practices. “Did you know I’ve been on this earth for nearly 6 millennia and have never engaged in intercourse before?”

    Crowley grinds his teeth and feels his cheeks heat. What is he supposed to say to that?

    Summary

    "Are you working for Mrs. Sandwich?" Nina asks.

    "No," Crowley says. "Well, yes. Well, define 'working'."

    --

    Or, Crowley is very good at faking sex work, as it turns out.
