    The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.

    Summary

    Crowley died. Sort of. It didn’t stick.
    Now he’s back - not a demon, not a human, just... mostly undead, vaguely unlabelled, and maybe in love with an angel he’s never seen before in his life. Or has he?

    Aziraphale is finally done pretending he doesn’t remember. Or want. Or care. Turns out, 6,000 years of repressed affection, divine bureaucracy, and one very snarky bastard who keeps returning can wear a principality down.

    They were always going to find each other again.
    Maybe this time they get it right.

    This is a story about breaking the cycle. About memory, desire, undead metaphysics, jealousy, fate, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

    Also: titans, kissing, drag queens, glam rock, a bench in Berkeley Square, a cat, always London.
    And a neon sign that says exactly what you think it does.

    Summary

    They all call him Angel.

    His real name is Virgil, but that almost never gets used, not by anyone in the office. It's always thank you, Angel, when he transfers an incoming call over, or you're the best, Angel, when he brings in the completed files for review, or what would we do without you, Angel, when he drops off a snack late at night when they're all working a little bit too long. The others might not have that might in common, but they all love Angel.

    Summary

    Series of missing scenes

    The news comes in the form of a knock on the door. Of downcast eyes, a solemn face, wringing hands. A quiet, concise explanation of what happened, why her father is lying by the stairs at this very moment, eyes unblinking and heart still. Why there is blood under Hamlet’s fingernails.

    Ophelia would not say she takes it well.
