Summary
“Is that…something you would ever want?” asked Aziraphale. "If it were not so painful?”
Crowley was quiet for a while. Considering. “I don’t know,” he finally said. “I…” He blew out a breath. “I’m happy with what we get up to now. More than happy.” (Aziraphale snuggled closer in agreement.) “But if this is off the menu for me, I want it off because I chose not to do it. Not because they made me so afraid of it, I can’t decide for myself.”
“I have to agree with you,” said Aziraphale. “So, if that is a course you would like to try, perhaps it will take…a bit of reverse-conditioning? Teaching your body to relax, rather than tense, in response to such a stimulus.”
“Mm,” said Crowley. “Yeah. Maybe.”

Summary
“I wouldn’t say you’re taking steps backward,” said Aziraphale. “Perhaps it’s…more like a spiral staircase? If you look down at it from above, it might look like you are returning to the same place on the circle over and over again. But if you look from the side, you will see you’re actually climbing higher, even as you return to the same struggles. You’re meeting those struggles with newfound knowledge of how to manage them.”

Summary
For Aziraphale—an angel who found things he loved and clung to them long past their fashionable utility—deciding he needed change was no small feat.
Crowley—a demon who changed his hairstyles every few years like shedding his serpent’s skin—had agreed with the move wholeheartedly. And so, here they were, living out their days of freedom from Heaven and Hell in a secluded cottage in the English countryside.
But, as with any change, it took some getting used to. Aziraphale knew there would likely be a period of adjustment for them both.
If he’d known how calamitous this change would be, he would’ve run back to London the first chance he had.

Summary
Here’s the thing. Crowley liked his appearance. He’d spent just over six thousand years inside this human corporation, and though he enjoyed keeping up with the fashions of the day, the body itself had never changed. And though the humans might consider some of his traits a bit odd (and other traits a bit eye-catching), he liked it.
But now, after those four years of Heaven and Hell dragging his body through the worst torments imaginable…
It was different.

Summary
Crowley started picking at the denim on his knees. “I keep trying to shut all their shit out, and when the smallest thing reminds me of it, it’s like I’m back in that cell again. So I think…what I need is to convince myself, one hundred percent, that I’m not there anymore. That it’s only you, not them.”
“So what are you suggesting?”
“That…I dunno, maybe…we could do a little roleplay.”
