    Summary

    It's the only kind of ritual Charles has ever wanted. If he’s going to survive a week in Westchester without torching the house and everyone in it, he needs Erik. If it's tanked a relationship or two, it's not a big deal - not many people, it turns out, are fine with him disappearing for weeks over Christmas, let alone refusing to stop sleeping with his best friend while he’s at it. Apparently, that doesn’t qualify as “emotionally available.”

    Summary

    “One might think that living a cursed existence is a bad thing. Objectively so, some might say!” Stede turned on his heel, coat swishing out dramatically behind him.

    “One might also assume that being made to walk the earth - er - one little isle of it, for all the days and nights thereof ever and after and so on to be a miserable existence. And they may be right to say so! But!” Here he turned to his audience, “What’s the difference between a curse…and a blessing?” He looked enquiringly around the little beach. None of the animals strewn about it appeared to be listening.

    “Anyone? Swede?”

    The sea lion shrunk back a little guiltily, not meeting his gaze.

    “Black Pete?”

    There was a rude short from the scraggly hound.

    “No one? Really?” Stede sighed. “Alright. The secret is…perspective!” He made a little flourish. “Ta da!” There was a despairing whine. He chose to ignore that.

    Summary

    There is a gun in Stede’s face, a crack as it goes off, and then the body of Chauncey Badminton lies at Stede’s feet. From there, it all kind of spirals. Stede tries his best.

    or

    Stede gets caught in a time loop at the moment where Badminton tries to shoot him.

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.
