    Summary

    Postwick is a small, middle-of-nowhere kind of town that's never produced anything of significance.

    Maybe it’s just the climate of the place - maybe a no-name town breeds no-name people. Maybe it’s the sleepy atmosphere that swallows you up, or maybe all the myths about the Slumbering Weald are true after all.

    So, no, Postwick isn't anything special at all, and neither are its people.

    But, Leon thinks, maybe he can change that.

    Summary

    “It’s a routine hit-and-run raid. Go in, cause enough chaos to remind the Gerudo that the Yiga are not sitting idly by, and get out. Sooga has been on dozens of these raids, and has lead them for years. Early in the morning, before the sun has risen to beat the miserable mid-day heat, Sooga collects his raiding party in the central cave of the clan hideout and they set out.”

    Or, Sooga, in no particular order, has a bad day, is a good teacher, becomes Right Hand of the Inverted eye, has an even worse day, and falls in love.

    Summary

    After everything, Aziraphale and Crowley, by unspoken agreement, begin sharing their lives.
    ---
    Why? Aziraphale wanted to ask him, why millennia of the way things were, and now this?

    But while Crowley seemed to have little issue upending every unspoken rule they’d ever written for themselves, Aziraphale was not so flexible, and they had spent thousands of years never quite addressing whatever it was this had stemmed from. Words, Aziraphale had always felt, were for bickering about where to eat for lunch, or hashing out ontological debates, or other trivial nonsense; there was no need to trifle with the imprecision of language, with phrasing and the possibility of being misconstrued, when it came to important matters if the other person simply understood, without needing it said. Six thousand years ago, when Aziraphale had met Crowley on the wall of Eden, watching the first two humans set out to begin the rest of history, something deep within him, more central even than his Grace, had thought, oh, it’s you, and that had been enough for him--for both of them, he assumed--for three millennia.

    However much he wanted to ask, he didn’t know how. The words simply weren’t there.

    Summary

    Bob Floyd never learned how to throw a punch.

    This absolutely will not stop him from defending Jake Seresin's honour in a dive bar, even if it requires medical attention afterwards. Good job for him Jake Seresin really knows his way around a first aid kit.
