    Summary

    His hand is on hers in what must be an unconscious gesture; he's been careful not to touch her, since. But she finds she doesn't mind it, the comfort of his palm, warm and dry, covering her fingers. She wonders if that makes her weak, if she's pathetic for thinking that after all he's done to her. She wonders if she would be better off if she was more like Angelica, steadfast in her anger and unwilling to forgive.

    Summary

    "Yeah," he says, voice slightly raspy. "Eliza, I—" He stops.

    "I know," she says softly. "It's my fault too, it was a stupid idea and I shouldn't have brought it up."

    "It wasn't a stupid idea," Alex tells her, easier to talk about it with his eyes closed, her hand smoothing over his hair. "It was a good idea, I'm just—" He stops: the only time he ever struggles for words is in this, trying to explain a history that he's done his best to smother completely. "I know how to talk about anything," he tries to explain, "but I don't know how to talk about this.”

    Summary

    Aziraphale had fussed about Crowley’s stipulation that he bring a sunhat on their holiday, but in the end he’d agreed. They’d been out in the bright sunlight for almost two hours now, and though Aziraphale looked absolutely ridiculous in that wide-brimmed floppy monstrosity, his soft throat and face retained their proper pale glow. Crowley considered it a win.

    “Go on, then,” Crowley grumbled as Aziraphale stopped outside the next shop, already rescheduling lunch in his head. “I know that look.”

    (Anthony J'Acts-Of-Service Crowley definitely cannot love Aziraphale -- except Aziraphale says that actually, he does. Hey, look! It's Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!)
