    Summary

    The humans were curious about him, Crowley knew that. Who wouldn’t be? Man-shaped thing shows up on your local pub's doorstep, mute, scowling, and desperate, takes up residence in its worst room for months, drinks about four bottles of whiskey a day, doesn’t eat a damned thing, and yet refuses to die - you’d be curious too, wouldn’t you?

    Sometimes he’d overhear them whispering about him, staff and customers alike.

    “Is that another bottle?” One lady would mutter disapprovingly.

    “Heartbreaking to see someone waste away their life like that,” sighed a woman to her partner.

    “Why’s he wearing sunglasses inside?” A kid asked his dad, tugging on the man’s sleeve.

    “Do you mind if I take this seat?” Asked a man at Crowley’s elbow.

    He turned to look at the newcomer. He was smiling widely, his eyes crinkling at the corners. The man’s nose was slightly upturned and his hair a crown of ruffled white curls.

    OR: After resorting to extreme measures to avert the apocalypse, a very miserable Crowley retreats to somewhere close to his heart and drowns his sorrows for months until his wallowing is interrupted by a mysterious stranger who knows more than he ought to and simply won't shut up.

    Summary

    “The text is right here, I sent it last—“
    Crowley’s heart dropped. Fuck.
    “I’m gonna call you back,” Crowley said, Anathema only managing a, “Crowley what’s—“ before he hung up on her.
    He had indeed sent the text, but not to Anathema.
    Shit shit shit shit.

    Crowley threw his phone back onto the bed and took a step back. Jesus, how drunk had he been?
    Hesitantly, Crowley picked the phone back up and stared at it. Of all the people he could’ve sent that text to, of course it had to have been to Aziraphale.
    Crowley’s face grew hot with embarrassment as the realisation hit that not only had he sent it to Aziraphale, but Aziraphale had replied.

    Or; What do you do when you accidentally text the man you met once, eight years ago?

    Summary

    Crowley gets stuck at an American desert hotel in the 1970s. Misery loves company, so he lures Aziraphale out there to keep him company. The trouble, of course, occurs when the other angels and demons show up.

    “You gave the archangel Gabriel mescaline?” Aziraphale hisses.
    Crowley shrugs. “Seemed like he could use it. Besides, s’not just him. I did all of em.”
    “Good Lord. We’ve got to get out of here!” Crowley watches his eyes dart all over the place. Bad, bad. The angel’s gone paranoid. Not that Crowley blames him. Having the collected host of Heaven around while you’re stoned out of your mind - and still work for them - can’t be at all pleasant. Crowley isn’t feeling so hot himself.

    Featuring artwork by the talented schlgrl.

    Summary

    They had both broken the rules over the years, but only the written ones. Never the important ones. Crowley had thought the angel understood. He’d thought Aziraphale was, if nothing else, savvy.

    That was what this whole thing was built on, that they were both practical. If one of them stopped being practical, it all fell apart.

    Summary

    “But you admit it! You did tempt me!”

    “I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

    He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”

    “Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”

    or, an examination vis-à-vis food and forgiveness
