    Summary

    Understanding came slowly, but Aziraphale was certain it had arrived at last. “It feels," he said, "like you’re defiling me. Is that it?” It was. Yet there was more. “And you can’t bring yourself to do it.”

    Crowley almost could not even bring himself to say it. Finally he did. “Yes.”

    It was one of the most outrageous things he had ever said. “That’s ridiculous.”

    “Trust me,” said Crowley, “I’m aware.”

    Summary

    There are times, Crowley knows, when he is unbearable.

    It happens every hundred years or so. It all builds up inside him—the Fall, the temptations, the solitude, Aziraphale, Aziraphale—and before he knows it his hackles are rising far too easily, throat growling at things all too innocent. The humans around him never hesitate to recoil. They’re used to the handsome, smooth man with the edge of a bite; not one who is too cruel, too cutting, all teeth.

    Summary

    Lately, his dreams have been... unsettling.

    But not in the way dreams often are. They aren’t strange or unfamiliar. In fact, they’re painfully familiar. He knows this dream because it isn’t really a dream—it’s a memory. A single, sharp-edged memory that keeps replaying in his mind, night after night. It started the moment he and the angel decided to move to the quiet cottage outside London.

    And now, it won’t leave him.

    What is it about that memory that refuses to let him go?

    He supposes there’s nothing else to do but close his eyes again, surrendering to the pull of sleep—and to that time, far away, that his mind refuses to release.

    To St. Petersburg. December 31st, 1820.

     

    Or Crowley dreams and learns to voice what he wants.
