    Summary

    He didn’t need a meal with the angel, or oysters. But it was a novelty, and Crowley loved novelty. Even in Heaven no one had liked him. It was a meaningless concept Upstairs. Since becoming corporeal he’d found there were things he liked – wine, sun, warmth – but they were things, indifferent to his existence.

    The angel was like wine and sun and warmth that liked him back. That guileless smile. That flush on the smile-plumped cheeks.

    The angel was an idiot. But it would pass the time.

    A poem, or a suite of music with recurring motifs, or a meditation on holding hands.

    Summary

    "And what happens if we don't carry out the dare? What's the penalty?" If he was going to contract with a demon, he had to be sure of terms. After all, Crowley could ask for… anything...

    Crowley smiled, all sharp eye teeth. "Knowing the other one won."

    ***

    Crowley and Aziraphale play truth or dare through the centuries.

    Summary

    After Aziraphale goes back to Heaven with the Metatron, Crowley reflects.

    And 4,400 years ago in 2407 BC, in the city of Uruk in ancient Sumer, he and Aziraphale fall in love with humanity, and each other.

    “What are you doing here?” asked Aziraphale.

    Crowley felt himself start to smile. “I should ask you the same. What are you thinking, coming here with your wings out and the blessed light of Heaven raining down upon you? You’re scaring the mortals.”

    Aziraphale blushed. Crowley dutifully looked away. It felt disrespectful not to.
