    Summary

    "Oh," Lady Honeysett said in a languorous tone, more breath than voice. "You must be the young man for Dickie. How too, too divine."
    Bron, who liked to think himself hardened to the excesses of the aristocracy, was a little bowled over. He was suddenly an under-gardener summoned before the lady of the manor, trembling in muddied boots. Who's Dickie, he thought, and what could he possibly want with me?

    What's a lightly larcenous Bright Young Thing to do when London gets too hot for him? Accidentally con his way into a tutoring job for an aristocratic teen delinquent, of course! But honest work is harder than it looks, especially when you've got a slippery charge and a set of sticky fingers... Grab your Baedekers, everybody: we're going to Florence.

    Thoroughly enjoyable, lots of farcical misunderstandings.

    Summary

    That’s why you decided to drive a scooter to the Downs? You wanted to break laws?”

    “I planned to trespass, too,” Aziraphale said conspiratorially. “Mr. Haverford’s estate has a lovely view of the ocean.”

    Crowley burst out laughing. He couldn’t help it. But Aziraphale blushed and looked twitchy. “I suppose it would seem funny to you,” he muttered.

    “It’s just… angel, you like being the good one.” He ought to, he’d lorded it over Crowley often enough.

    “I can do unexpected things.” Aziraphale turned to face him. His expression was a strange mix of contemplation and terror: a first-time parachute jumper looking out the open door of the plane.

    “I know that, but you don’t–”

    “And I can go fast,” Aziraphale said. His eyes dropped to Crowley’s lips.

    Crowley’s stomach swooped. “Angel–”

    “I can break rules,” Aziraphale whispered. “Especially the ones that don’t make sense anymore.”

    Summary

    Within a forest marked by shadows and atop a mountain drenched in resentment lives a man feared by death itself. With corpses as his playmates and ghosts as his suitors, it’s said he wields more power than every Sect combined—which is why no one sect ever dares to face him head on.

    It’s well acknowledged that any man with such power is looking for someone to join him at his side, and when the Yiling Patriarch decides to find his own such partner, he offers up a game.

    in which Lan Wangji searches for a ghost, courts a crow, and finds his happy ever after.

    Maybe a few degrees off from my head canon of who these characters are, but so funny. And maybe it does mesh with my idea of what they’d be like in their relaxed moments, actually. A lot of fun.
