Summary
A retelling of the fairy tale set in the early Victorian Era.
Viola Weston is desperate to pay off her family's debts. Stubborn and self-reliant, she would rather look for work than seek an advantageous marriage. She is utterly unprepared for her eccentric new employer's beastly appearance--but quickly charmed by his warm heart and cheerful disposition.
Albert Carlyle is lonely: cursed from birth with a monstrous form, but coldly tolerated by society for his wealth. People are afraid of him, no matter how hard he tries to make himself agreeable. He has resigned himself to a quiet life collecting butterflies and ignoring judgmental whispers--until Viola upends his comfortable, complacent existence.
Can Viola set aside her pride long enough to accept his help? Can Albert find the courage to make his affections known? Or will the cruelties of the world tear their budding relationship apart?

Summary
Pip and Estella met by chance in the ruins of the house where she once rejected him, eleven years older, sadder, and wiser. They have both learned and grown from their experiences, but they can't quite let each other go. Pip's friends and family are (understandably) wary when he allows his old flame back into his life, but his love for her is far from blind or naive.
Is it too late for second chances? Can Estella learn to open her heart to vulnerability? Can they start over again and build something new, or will the past come back to haunt them?

Summary
"Don't think your boyfriend in the dark glasses will get you special treatment in Hell," sneers Uriel, and Aziraphale is about to ask what she means by that when he's grabbed from behind, unable to so much as a shout as he's dragged below the concrete, towards the fiery pits.
AU of Episode 4. Hastur and Ligur call to tell Crowley they have something of his. Something Crowley cannot stand to lose.

Summary
”I-” Aziraphale seems aware of his words, stuttering before choosing them carefully. “I’m terribly sorry, I was – I was going to ask, you see, but not now. Must have spoken my thoughts out loud, terrible habit of mine.”
A nervous habit, Crowley almost adds.
“I was trying to plan for it,” Aziraphale explains, wringing his hands. “The question. I know it must be uncomfortable –“
“You are talking about the sulfur pit,” Crowley concludes, narrowing his eyes. After Armageddon failed, it’s become a new habit of his. To leave the glasses off once in the bookshop with Aziraphale. The angel had said he liked his eyes, and Crowley had caved in. He points a finger at Aziraphale’s chest, shaking it. “You are talking about Hell – No. You are talking about Falling.”

Summary
How lucky Aziraphale is, to live in perfection. It should be shared, he knows, but still, his being protests against the thought. Eden is his, and no one else has set foot in this guarded haven.
Until now.
Aziraphale looks up, another apology ready at the tip of his tongue, but the red-haired stranger has disappeared without a trace, like he’d never even been there.
“Hello?” Aziraphale calls out tentatively, and the nightingales sing in return.
No one else answers him.
