Summary
The London Season of 1841 opened with a flourish of silk and the sharp scent of ambition. Having spent years honing his craft in the most elite bordello of Paris, Mr. Anthony Crowley arrived to London with a singular, razor-sharp objective: to trade his "personal services" for social currency and climb the Victorian ladder, one rung at a time.
Across the city, Aziraphale having unexpectedly inherited the title of the Earl of Eastgate, finds himself trying to navigate an aristocratic world of unwritten rules he barely understood and never wanted. When the haughty Duke Gabriel presented him with a month-long, pre-paid contract for Mr Crowley's 'exclusive services', Aziraphale was more than dismayed—he was mortified.
Unwilling to indulge in the physicalities of the contract, Aziraphale finds himself considering Crowley’s most unusual counter-proposal. The Earl needed a tutor for the Ton; Crowley needed a respectable appearance of an Earl on his arm. Crowley would teach him the etiquette of the elite, and in exchange, they would perform the role of devoted paramours for the public eye.
It was a sensible, businesslike arrangement. Certainly no feelings would be involved...

Summary
Largely prose, ending in dramatic shift. Largely character study. This variant on "my" Mycroft is mature, assertive, private and reserved and controlled, but not particularly shy or bashful, and definitely not so much inexperienced as no longer in the running most of the time.
Mycroft in seductive mode. Lestrade...quite content with that.
