    Summary

    “How are you so cold??”

    “You left me.” He didn’t sound petulant, he didn’t.

    “I left you with a warm bed.”

    “Coldblooded.”

    “A menace more like.”

    “I can do both.”

    A snort of laughter escaped Aziraphale before he turned around in Crowley’s embrace. Warm blue grey eyes washed over him and a soft smile that melted every sharp edge not already blurred by sleep and love. “Hello love.”

    A year in and his face still flushes with warmth, his throat still constricts a bit, and his heart feels like it’s fit to burst it’s swelling so large in his chest. “’Morning ‘Ziraphale,” he manages around the heart lodged in his throat, “love you.”

    Summary

    Crowley smiled, the corners of his eyes crinkling, his be-ringed finger curling around the shape of Aziraphale's jaw, face leaning close and lined with purpose.

    "Too soon?" he breathed the question against Aziraphale's lips.

    "Oh, you are thirty seconds too late, husband."

    Summary

    “Why,” Edward will ask the darkness of nights like these. His voice is thick as smoke, self doubt spilling like embers from his lips. “Why do you love me?”

    Stede shushes him with gentle, sipping kisses, hands cradling and thumbs brushing the delicate skin beneath Ed’s tired eyes. He lets his hands trace each inch of skin his love allows, each drop of ink and gnarled patch of healed over skin worshipped with reverent fingers, each wrinkle smoothed and imperfection venerated. How can he ever begin to explain?

    “Because you take your tea with seven sugars,” Stede settles on finally.

    Summary

    After his narrow escape from the guillotine, Aziraphale created a greeting in hopes to spread some peace throughout those violent times. And it worked very well. When he shows it to Crowley seven years later, they both learn it has an unintended angelic consequence. Not that either of them are complaining when it leads to a long-desired intimate situation disguised as 'fixing their problem'.

    Summary

    “A holiday.” Aziraphale repeats the words carefully. Like he’s tasting them. “To celebrate...”

    Us, Crowley thinks, but doesn’t say. You and me. We’re still here. Not together, no, we’ll never be that. But you’re alive, angel. I’d celebrate that every day if I could.

    (Crowley and Aziraphale celebrate the anniversary of Their Side. Aziraphale is round and lovely, including very round and very lovely arms, and Crowley is a conifer.)
