open for anyone I

"4500 joules." The machine echoed.

Issei scowled at the machine. Why is it so hard to get more energy. He lost 3 for five. As he continued to stuff his face, he tried to get it up. He just need 500 more. Issei looked at the stranger in front of him and faked a grin. "I would other some but I need to eat this for medicinal purposes."

Calm Like a Bomb

Here’s some BAMF Alex for @capmanes that your friend requested! Meant to have this done a while ago, but the whole Michael Sanders thing really hijacked my brain lol. Also, this is probably wildly inaccurate to canon, but I don’t know her so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also on AO3!

***

Michael’s phone buzzes on the table in front of him. He’s at the Wild Pony, sitting at a booth with Isobel when hers goes off a second later. She looks at it immediately and frowns.

“What’s Max whining about now?” Michael wonders, taking a sip of his beer.

“Michael,” Isobel says quietly. “Check your phone.”

There’s something in her expression that makes him do it.

Stay calm, the message reads. It’s from Alex.

A second later he feels it, the nozzle of a silenced pistol against his side as a man joins them in their booth. Michael stiffens, reaching out with his mind to find himself cut off from his telekinesis. He locks eyes with Isobel’s and he can see it in her eyes that she’s powerless too.

“Howdy, friends,” the man says, his smile wide and friendly.

Michael takes a breath, trying to stay calm like Alex wants. He turns to look at the man. He’s half expecting it to be one of Alex’s brothers, but it’s a man with short blonde hair and a forgettable face, one he can’t be sure he’s never seen before. He’s dressed like any other townie, but Michael clocks the earpiece he’s wearing.

“Who are you?” Michael asks, trying harder to connect to his TK, his fingers clenching on the table top.

“A concerned citizen,” he says. “And you can try all you want, ET, you’re not even gonna be able to pass the salt with those powers of yours right now.”

“How?” Isobel asks, brow drawn tight in rage and confusion, and he’s right there with her. He can’t see any of the yellow pollen anywhere.

The man uses his free hand to take a small device out of his pocket.

“Technology’s amazing, ain’t it?” he muses before putting it away.

Alex suddenly appears and slides into the booth next to Isobel. There’s a cut on his eyebrow that wasn’t there when Michael kissed him awake this morning and his breathing’s a little labored.

“Who’s your friend, babe?” he asks Michael as he makes himself comfortable, keeping his hands below the table.

“None of your business,” the guy answers before Michael can.

Alex smirks.

“Now, that’s not a very nice thing to say to someone who’s got an M18 pointed at your dick, is it?” he replies. Michael feels pride swell in his chest and he can’t help but bite his lip to keep from smiling. Alex notices and winks at him.

Once the predicament he’s in registers, the man starts rubbing his ear with his free hand. Alex actually laughs at him.

“Oh, you can tap that thing all you want,” Alex says. “Your buddies aren’t coming.”

The man freezes. “What did you do to them?”

“For coming after my family?” Alex asks, leaning over the table, smile disappearing from his face. He looks deadly calm, even as an undercurrent of rage flows beneath his words. “What do you think?”

Michael’s eyes widen. He knows, in a sort of abstract way, that Alex has killed people before, that he would kill people again if he had to. And he knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that if it was between Alex and just about anyone else in the world, Michael would pull the trigger without a second’s hesitation. To hear Alex all but admit to killing for him tonight, to keep him and his sister safe… it should make him sick, but it doesn’t. All Michael feels is love.

The stranger, though, he’s hit the third stage of grief before Michael blinks an eye.  

“What do you want?” the stranger asks.

“For you to leave me and my people alone, for one,” Alex says, leaning back in his seat. “But you can start by taking that gun off my husband and telling me everything you know about Deep Sky.”

“You can’t be serious,” the guy says. “I can’t talk, they’ll kill me.”

Alex’s expression darkens. “When I’m done with you, you’ll wish they had.”

Chills run down Michael’s spine watching Alex talk like this, but he’s also a little inappropriately turned on by it.

With a resigned sigh, the man pulls his earpiece out and tosses it in Isobel’s cocktail to short it out before he slides his gun across the table into Alex’s waiting hand. He tells them everything he knows.

Max approaches the table once he’s finished, handcuffs out and Cam at his side.

“Sir, we’re gonna have to ask you to come with us,” Max says, official deputy voice on. Michael doesn’t even make fun of him for it this time.

“Right on time,” Alex smiles, passing Max the gun he confiscated.

The man scowls the whole time, but he lets himself be taken into custody.

“Keep a close eye on him,” Alex warns. “And get this to Liz,” he adds, handing Max the device he took from the man while he was talking.

“You got it, Cap,” Cam nods, tightening the cuffs to the point of pain.

Michael lets out a deep breath when they leave and takes a sip of his lukewarm beer.

“That was some serious BDE, Alex,” Isobel comments. “I’m impressed.”

“BDE?” Michael asks.

“Big dick energy,” Alex explains, amusement in his voice as he slips his gun back into his holster.

“Ah,” Michael nods, letting his eyes travel down the length of Alex’s chest, as far down as the table will let him. “Well, I can confirm that gun’s not the only heat he’s packing.”

“Okay, gross,” Isobel gags. “Let me out, I don’t need front row seats to you two eye fucking each other.”

Alex laughs as he slides out of the booth to let her out. Michael follows her lead, getting out of the booth and pressing right up against Alex’s side.

Isobel leaves with a wave and a promise to check in later so they know she’s home safe.

“So that was pretty fucking hot,” Michael says, his hand pressing into Alex’s lower belly, just above his belt. “You wanna take me home now? Feel like I should show you a little gratitude for saving our lives and everything.”

Alex nods, his tongue sliding across his bottom lip as he looks at Michael.

They make it to the car in under a minute, but they spend another five making out against the side of it, high on adrenaline as Alex presses him into the metal frame, his thigh wedged between Michael’s legs.

“Wait,” Michael gasps as he pulls away. “What about that guy’s friends?”

“Incapacitated,” Alex pants against his lips. “Kyle’s keeping an eye on them until we figure out what to do with them.”

“I thought you said—“ Michael starts, but Alex just grins at him. “You were bluffing?”

“Didn’t really need to,” he answers. “Nothing I could’ve said would’ve been worse than what his imagination came up with. All he needed was a push in the right direction.”

“Damn,” Michael says, amazed. “That’s somehow even sexier.”

“What, that I’m not a cold-blooded murderer?” he asks deadpan.

Michael shakes his head. “That you’ve got the skills and confidence to take out a squad of paramilitary soldiers and then fucking mastermind their friend into giving you what you want. That’s enough to make a man weak, Manes.”

“I think we both know I go by Guerin these days,” Alex reminds him, crowding Michael a little closer against the car. “And what about you, huh?”

“What about me?” Michael asks, eyes going a little unfocused with how close Alex is, how warm and solid he feels pressed up against him.

“You gonna give me what I want?” he asks in a low voice. Desire courses hot through Michael like a flame, his knees feeling like they’re about to buckle.

“Always,” he breathes, and the next thing Michael knows, Alex is kissing him.

Screech (Sidestory)

X

"Hellooooo." Jin's face popped up on the display screen in the surveillance van, and Kenneth looked up from where he was typing away at his laptop. The sniper was lounging out on the wicker chair in the back porch of the safe house, his long legs stretched lazily before him, balancing his tablet on the arm rest and fiddling with his ear piece, "Am I the last one?"

"Yep!" Ken nodded with an eye roll and a smirk, still busily searching away on his device.

Victor's small face appeared from outside the open van door, smiling brightly. The medical officer's upbeat energy was endless, even in the morning, "Hi Jin! How's babysitting?"

"Ha ha, it's fine, Vic," he accepted the jab in good nature, "Where are the girls?"

"They're out here. Cap's kinda weird..." Vic scrambled up the vehicle to pull the display screen out of the side and pointed the camera towards a hidden clearing. It was less than a block away from the safe house, and they parked their van there to connect with Jin without the satellites.

Akira was crouched down, balancing on the balls of her feet, head lowered, hands supported squarely on her knees, her helmet abandoned on the ground beside her. Kaya, their engineering officer, stood a couple of feet behind her, arms crossed in concern, completely still.

Jin leaned forward as Vic continued to speak, "She got here a bit ago, and when she was getting off her bike, she caught her foot on something and fell over, and she yelled 'Ow!' really loud. Now she's just been sitting there for the past fifteen minutes."

"What? She injured?"

"Nope, she said she's fine. Doesn't look like she's bleeding anywhere either."

"Huh," Jin squinted at his screen, "Then what's up with her?"

"Dunno. She won't let me get close."

Kaya stared at her captain for another minute or so, before approaching her and leaning over to take a good look at her, "Akira? Jin's here."

She got a groan from the silver haired agent in response, before she lifted her head wearily, and mumbled distractedly to herself, "Jesus Christ. Shouldn't have ridden my bike on the way here." I swear I was okay when I woke up, I just ached a little. Now I hurt in places I didn't even fucking know could hurt...

Kaya raised her brows as her captain slowly, almost painfully got to her feet, dog tags hitting each other and clinking softly. They all saw the multiple dark spots on her neck and collarbone at the same time, peppered across her pale skin in angry clusters.

Vic immediately pointed and exclaimed excitedly, "Ah, Captain got lotsa hic--ow!" He didn't finish his statement before Ken threw a pen at his head to shut him up, and he closed his mouth; but they were all thinking the same thing. That's a lot.

They all exhaled a collective sigh of relief; she wasn't hurt, she was just... well, whatever she was feeling. Nobody wanted to imagine any further. Kaya hid a grin as she pulled the lawn chairs up around the van.

"Fun night, Cap?" Jin's voice crackled teasingly through the speakers. The rest of the team groaned inwardly in defeat; only he would dare ask Akira that. And get away with it. A lazy smirk danced on his face, but what the camera didn't catch was the momentary hard glint in his amber eyes as he watched Akira carefully take a seat, "Haven't seen you this crippled since Berserk." Ken choked on his spit as he tried to contain his laughter.

"Shut the fuck up, Juro Jin." she groaned, pulling her jacket off and throwing it over the back of her chair. Their eyes widened at the sight of bruises around her wrists, Vic's jaw visibly dropping in a large O shape.

"Goddamn, Akira," Ken couldn't help but comment, with an odd mix of disturbed and impressed in his tone.

"Well, that's new," Kaya muttered under her breath.

"Reeeaally fun night," Nothing could wipe the grin off Jin's face.

"Okay, that's enough. Do the fucking briefing already." she snapped, but not angrily. It was a good night. But she wasn't about to admit it out loud, especially not to these guys. She'd never hear the end of it. She was already starting to regret removing her jacket, and cursed herself for not checking the mirror before leaving the pub.

"Right," Ken cleared his throat and came out to sit at the edge of the van underneath Jin's screen, legs dangling above a patch of dead grass. Kaya and Vic took their seats beside Akira.

"So we searched all six Chroms' apartments," Ken casted files to each of their devices, blowing a black forelock out of his eyes. With their main intelligence and cyber security officer locked up in the safe house, he had been the one to pick up the job of researching their criminals, "All their laptops were wiped. Remotely, too. They have someone good on their back end. But we did manage to find this flyer in Devon's room. This is probably how they're recruiting," the screen changed to show a scan of a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers scribbled on it.

"This is an IP," Kaya observed.

Ken nodded, "Yep. We followed up on it on Tohr. We think it directs to the forum, but they seem to rotate addresses. Haven't been able to access it yet."

"They're probably bouncing it off multiple servers," the tablet screen reflected off Jin's glasses as he browsed the files, "Did you find a pattern?"

"Nope, not yet." Ken shook his head.

Akira's eyes flicked from left to right as she read quickly, "Do you think you can handle that yourself still? Or do you need Jin now?"

"We're getting close," the dark haired man replied with some confidence. Jin may be superior, but he could still get the job done.

"Okay. We'll go back to the original 72 hour rotation, then. Best to keep activity low. Yeah?" she glanced up towards the screen that showed Jin's perpetual pleasant grin.

His ears picked up on a shout from Deo, most likely in the game room, and he blinked slowly, "Copy that, Cap."

She quirked a curious eyebrow, but chose not to pursue it further, especially since there were no other complaints, "What about the targets? Any other connections besides 'smart and athletic students'?"

Their earpieces crackled as Jin adjusted suddenly in his seat, their mics picking up on the sound. He gripped his tablet, unseen from the camera. Yes. But how the fuck do I even explain it...

"No," Vic responded instead with a grim voice, "They're probably chosen by the Chroms themselves, so there's no clear pattern."

"They choose whoever they fancy for this Marionette Project as long as their brain's right for the picking, whatever that may be. It's basically a fucking tangle of MOs, we'll never be able to narrow it down," Kaya observed, icy blue eyes still scanning the rest of the file.

Akira drummed her fingers on the canvas arm rest in thought. She gave a humourless laugh, "Unless we bait them. Find their hideout."

They chuckled too, but it was a dead laugh. That was a plan none of them were inclined to resort to, not especially when their options for bait consisted of young students. But if it came down to it, then...

"Well," Akira spoke after a moment of thick silence, "Then our best bet is that forum. Do it quickly, Ken."

"Copy."

She leaned forward too suddenly and she winced, forgetting how much she ached. She grunted and tried to ignore it, "Anything else?"

They shook their heads in response, and she stood, carefully this time, "Sick. Keep security up on the safe house, and keep closing in on that forum."

"Roger that, Cap."

Akira made her way back to her bike as the other three packed up and left for their own posts. She leaned on the edge of the seat, not quite wanting to straddle it just yet, reading the case details again, making sure that nothing was missed. She ended up swiping to another app tab, and Blunt's number displayed on her screen by accident.

She chewed at her lip. It was a delicate situation. She was absolutely interested in him, there was no doubt about it. The night was electric in a way that she couldn't put into words, and she wanted more; but she was wary, reminded of her father and how this job destroyed every possibility of having a normal life to cultivate normal relationships. And she didn't want to put him through that.

Her earpiece beeped as a call came through, and Jin's number displayed on her phone. Right. And there's him, too.

She pushed a button and replied, "Yep."

"Hey." Jin said quietly, "Are you alright?"

She blinked. He never once expressed his concerns over her night outs before, so this was new, "Yeah. Why?"

He shrugged despite being away from her, "Dunno. I just... You look like you got beat up. I've never seen you like that. Other than Berserk."

Her face flushed pink. She was really starting to regret taking her jacket off, "Yeah, well. It was just... different than usual, I guess." She didn't know how to describe the entire thing, even beyond the sex. Her stomach did a flip as she recalled the night, and she blushed harder. She hid her nose behind one hand despite being alone in the clearing, her voice gaining an edge to it, "And it's not like Berserk. You know that; nothing tops that."

"I know. I'm just worried."

"I'm fine. It looks worse than it actually is," she reiterated, her cheeks getting warmer by the second. She fiddled with the chain of her tags distractedly, "Besides, you've never concerned yourself with wherever I get around, why start now?"

There was a pause from the other end, before Jin finally replied, "...yeah, okay. You're right. That's good." His eyes glinted harshly again in the mid-morning sun, but he didn't notice.

"What about you? You didn't put up a fight with the relief team. Deo beat you up and finally got some sense talked into you?" she asked with a grin in an attempt to change the subject.

There was another long pause, "...sure."

Akira raised her brows even more. Jin was acting really weird, and she didn't know what to make of it. She waited another heartbeat to see if he would say anything else, but he didn't. "Okay then, uh... go do your job." she said a little awkwardly, still somewhat confused as to why he called just to ask that. And his distant attitude during the entire call.

"Copy." he said, then hung up with a click.

The fuck was that... she thought to herself as Jin's name disappeared from her phone screen and switched back to her contact list, Blunt replacing his. She gave an audible sigh, tapping the edge of the phone as she stared at the number, like she was expecting it to reveal the answers to all her questions.

With a scrunch of her nose and another moment's hesitation, she finally gave in with a groan, and typed quickly in her phone, then hitting the send button with some reckless gusto. She shoved it into her jacket pocket, swung her leg over her bike with another disgruntled 'ow', and drove away.

--

Back at the safe house, Jin remained sitting in the back porch, the tablet screen dark before him and his phone idle in one hand. He could hear the thumps from the kids inside the house as they did whatever they did to pass the time.

His local communicator beeped again, "Jin. Single channel?" Kaya's voice sounded out through the ear piece.

He pressed a couple of keys on his laptop, "Yeah, you're good."

She sighed, running a hand through her mid-tone hair, "You called Akira, didn't you?"

Jin sucked the breath in through his teeth, "Ugh... was I that obvious."

"Eh... sort of. When the girl you like shows up looking all bruised like that, it'd be weird not to call and ask. Especially since Berserk," her fingers tapped on her knee crossed over the other leg, "She was hella obvious, though. We can all read her. She tried to hide it, but she was like... giddy. Dazed. But in a good type of way."

"Mm. Yeah..." the hard glint appeared again, but he didn't say anything more.

There was a comfortable silence between them. This core of five had a strong bond, especially after working together for the past four years. They knew how each others' minds worked. Akira and Jin were merely closer than the others.

"You jealous?" she asked quietly.

He opened his mouth to protest, but he knew he would never hear the end of it from Kaya if he lied, "Maybe. I dunno... What the fuck, I don't know." He ran a hand through sandy blond hair in some frustration, "I don't even know who the dude is. I called her 'cus I was worried. I'm just..."

"Mhm." she hummed in thought, letting the sniper process his thoughts on his own. She would have finished that sentence with 'unfairly possessive', but she didn't supply it.

It was quiet again.

"Thought you'd be more pissed about how I'm dealing with it. You crushed on me, no?" Jin said distractedly, after some time.

"As upset as I was, I knew it was never gonna be anything more than a one night stand. Not with Akira in the picture. And whoever it is that's keeping you there. Most probably the Deo girl." She had read the file.

He could hear the teasing grin from her, even through the phone, "Shut the fuck up."

"No, honestly. This is literally no big deal. It's not about me," she laughed, before her tone darkened. The same air of calm and calculating that every single one of them have as seasoned killers permeated even through the communicator, "But you better not fuck up whatever's happening here with Akira. And with Deo. Don't you dare halfheartedly chase after the captain like you do with every other person, not now that it's looking like she starting to get over you."

"Or I will kill you." she ended it with a smirk, but Jin knew she would follow through with that threat. Very easily, too.

He shivered, "Yes ma'am."

"Great. Good luck babysitting." the call ended with a cheeky click, and Jin shook his head, heading back inside.

--

Somewhere else, where the land stretched in a cultivated field before him, a notification pinged in his phone. It was an unknown number. He opened the message, and read the words on the screen: "To keep it fair, Sir Blunt."

Flowerbeds and Fertile Soil: Chapter 3

Fandom: Good Omens

Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens, )Anathema Device/Newton Pulsifer

Tags:  Kidfic, Mpreg kind of, they can choose to present however so idk, Crowley Has A Vulva (Good Omens), Crowley Has A Penis (Good Omens), Aziraphale Has A Penis (Good Omens), Aziraphale Has A Vulva (Good Omens), OCs Galor, parenting, using your snake form to avoid confrontation, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Pregnancy, if I missed a tag lemme know

Summary: They could do anything, go anywhere, all without the worry of Above or Bellow making a fuss. Even so, they mostly kept to their little patch of Eden, their cottage and garden and the simple life they’d carved out among the locals. Aziraphale opened a book shop in town, where he only occasionally sold any books (and the ones he did sell, were all modern and stocked specifically for that purpose). Crowley focused his attentions on the garden, and if he occasionally helped their elderly neighbour with her disobedient willow tree, then that was a secret no one needed to know. Lately, however, they had both been feeling rather restless, unbeknownst to each other. Aziraphale tried reorganizing his store, changing the way he tied his bowtie and even ate pizza –something he considered to be far too messy for him personally. Crowley had branched out into birdwatching, and then car maintenance (the human way), and even reading. Nothing scratched the itch for either of them.

My Ko-Fi

Crowley spent the two days drinking, thinking, and wallowing, in that order. First, he got rip-roaring drunk, then kept going past that into a maudlin type of drunkenness. That led to the thinking, which had been much harder than normal, but also much more honest.

The sun was just coming up over the horizon and he watched as all of London was bathed in warm light. He was scared. He could admit that to himself easily, especially when he was so drunk. What he was scared of was a little more complicated, and Crowley had been thinking on it for the better part of three hours. Because on the one hand, he was worried about Heaven and Hell and the safety of any hypothetical little ones. He really was. But on the other hand, he’d said something during their fight that he hadn’t realized he’d been worried about.

Demon spawn were A Thing, and they were generally terrible. Sometimes a demon decided to have some fun on the mortal level and demons weren’t known for being the most careful of beings. Best case scenario was something that was essentially a demon, but mortal. Worst case whatever came out was some sort of writhing mass of demonic energy and hatred. Would that happen to any of his offspring too? Or would the angelic influences cancel it out? But the Nephilim had been somewhat monstrous too, so was it a lost cause from both ends?

And that was where the thinking transitioned into wallowing. Because he was also drunk enough to admit that he really, really wanted to give in to Aziraphale’s badgering, hang the consequences. They’d at least have some time before having to face what they’d done. Who knew how long demon-angel hybrid babies took to form, or gestate or whatever (Crowley only knew as much as he did from his time working on a London pediatrics ward. He was supposed to have been sowing the seeds of evil in the new generation, but he ended up delivering and caring for more newborns than anything else). 

But the guilt would be too much. He couldn’t bring a child into this world knowing it was doomed to be some sort of horror that never fit in. He’d love them, of course, whatever they were or would become but to imagine the difficulty of growing up in a world that would detest them... Well, at least Crowley had been fully formed and matured when it had happened to him. 

He ran out of scotch on the balcony by noon of the first day. But he wasn’t done sulking so he moved back inside and on to the brandy. Brandy was the perfect spirit to drink while tormenting his plants, though there were only a few left in the flat. They were his favourite, and he kept them here to avoid the angel over-indulging and spoiling them. 

“Yooooou lot,” he slurred, brandishing his spray bottle in one hand and the brandy in the other. “You don’t argue with me! Y-y-you’re all jus’ plants!”

A hydrangea, who had long exceeded it’s expected lifespan by several years and was one of the most verdant plants in Crowley’s collection, leaned towards him sympathetically. Most of these plants had been with him for years and had grown a kind of fondness for their tyrannical, but caring master. Crowley spared the hydrangea a glance over, inspecting it for blemishes. He found none. 

“Yoooou’re not compli--complicated, you’re not good or-or-or-or evil. You’re jus’ plants!” The while lily near the door shuddered, knowing things were really bad if the demon was repeating himself. Crowley never liked to repeat himself. 

“If you wanna have b-b-babies you can jus’ drop seeds!” His voice cracked at the end so he wet his parched mouth with some more brandy. “I like sssseeds, such ma-marv-maver--nice little thingss.” Four letter words, good Lord he was sloshed. Dropping the spray bottle and picking up the watering can Crowley deftly overwatered a nearby ivy. Luckily the ivy knew better than to wilt. 

“Like little things, like babiesss, an’ kids. Not sooooo much t-teenagerss but they’ve got ssspirit!” All the plants were leaning in now. Some of them opened up a few extra blooms, offering comfort in the way only plants knew how. “Alwaysss thought I’d make a shit p-parent though, an’ look how Warlock turned out…”

“Could be different, though, raisin’ one and not t-trying to make it, you know, not the Antichrissst.” Indeed he hadn’t been so much raising Warlock as he had been coaching him. And if he and Aziraphale were to do it together properly this time who knows what could happen? “Still can’t though. Angel n’a demon, probably be smited for even trying. Smote? Sssmitten?”

He pondered that for a while, letting the last few glugs of water drip out of his watering can and onto the floor. It was a lost cause though because all he could think about was tiny angel babies with their soft, fluffy hair and little grabby hands. “D’you think they’d look like him? I hope they do.” Crowley was idly swaying back and forth, lost in his daydream. “Hope they have his nose an’ eyess at least, mine are terrible. But m’wings are nicer so…” 

“I don’t wanna be sscared,” he said quietly to his favourite rose bush. “I want to--I want to give Azirahale what he wants. I want what he wantsss, and if I gave in we could both have it but I’m ssscared!”

The argument last night had left Crowley unable to sleep, but he was getting tired now. Maybe he should use his last day and a half--he checked his fancy watch; day and a quarter--to sleep this off. Tossing the spray bottle somewhere towards the wall--it would be back in its place the next time he went to use it--and heading towards his bedroom, Crowley realized he hadn’t yet texted Aziraphale like he’d promised. No matter, his phone was on the bedside table anyway. He could let the angel know he’d be back tomorrow, and they could make up. Nevermind how that was going to happen, since they both still had opposing views on the matter.

The first time he had come to stay at the flat after he and Aziraphale had a tiff, the angel had blown up his phone with calls and texts. Crowley had done the same the first time Aziraphale locked himself away in his study and refused to come out. They had since come to an understanding and formed a system of brief check-ins and hard time limits to ease each other's anxiety. They stuck to the rules, and it seemed to be a good way of letting off some steam and ending arguments, as long as they talked about it afterward. 

This time, Crowley had been a little lax in his following of their rules. It had already been nearly an entire day of no-contact and Aziraphale had been sending worried messages for at least six hours. To his credit there were only a few voicemails, which Crowley would listen to later, and not the deluge there had been that first time. They were all standard fare, Aziraphale calling in the morning after Crowley left, then calling back around lunch. The angel was doing a good job of keeping the worry out of his voice, but Crowley could tell it was there. 

Immediately Crowley sent off a text assuring Aziraphale he was fine and had lost track of time, complete with heart emojis, then fell into bed. As drunk as he was it didn’t take very long for him to drift off, even though he forgot to change into anything comfortable or get under the covers. 

Crowley walked into their cottage in time for tea the next day carrying a selection of cake slices. He didn’t really have anything to apologize for, but coming back empty-handed felt wrong. Plus the cakes might distract from the hangover Crowley had. He’d meant to fix himself up before bed, but hadn’t and now his head ached too bad to focus on any demonic miracles.

“I’m home!” he called out into the foyer, toeing off his shoes and kicking them haphazardly out of the doorway. The house smelled like old books and tea, which was better than burning food. The second time Crowley had taken some time to himself Aziraphale had decided to take up baking to soothe his nerves. It hadn’t gone well. “I brought cake!”

Aziraphale came around from his study and stood in the doorway, hovering. “Welcome home dear. Did I hear you say cake?”

This was the routine when Crowley returned. Whether in the right or wrong he’d come back bearing treats and Aziraphale would flitter about like he didn’t know if he should stay or go. Eventually, they’d both sit down and talk about what happened, which had twice led to Crowley storming back out and more often led to lovely make-up sex. He wasn’t sure what to expect this time, given the thing they were arguing about. There wasn’t much to talk about, either Aziraphale dropped it, or he didn’t. Crowley didn’t want to think about what would happen if Aziraphale didn’t drop it.

“Yeah, picked some up on my way over from that little bakery where they mill their own flour. Figured it was pretentious enough that you’d like it,” Crowley teased, none too eager to get to the heart of their issues. What if he and Aziraphale couldn’t move past this? What if this was the thing that ended them, not their former sides, or the Apocolypse, or their opposing natures? Crowley wasn’t sure he could survive without the angel in his life, but he also wasn’t sure he could concede on this particular issue. He also wasn’t sure if he could stick to his guns for too much longer, given what he’d realized last night. 

“Oh hush you. Take it into the kitchen I’ll be there in just a tick.” Crowley nodded and went through, surreptitiously glancing around their home. Aziraphale was prone to fussing with the layout of things when he was left to his own devices, just like he had at the bookshop. There he’d been able to justify it as a tactic to confuse customers and discourage book purchases. In the cottage, however, it was obvious he did it from anxiety. Everything looked to be in order though, so Crowley continued on and set the cakes down on the table. With a snap of his fingers, the slices were laid out on plates and the kettle was boiling for tea. 

“Early Grey or Twinings?” he called over his shoulder towards where Aziraphale’s office was. He could hear the angel moving about back there and assumed he was cleaning up whatever he had been using to preoccupy himself with while Crowley was away. 

“Twinings please, dearest,” Aziraphale answered, his voice muffled. Must be messing with his book storage, Crowley thought, pouring each of them a cup with shakey hands. He really wished he’d spent less time drinking and sleeping yesterday, and more time actually thinking about what he was going to say to Aziraphale. All he’d figured out was that they had to worry about a lot more than just Heaven and Hell’s reaction and that if Aziraphale kept asking, he might not be strong enough to refuse. 

“Tea’s ready,” he mumbled, taking his own and perching on the edge of a dining chair. Of course, Aziraphale still heard him and walked quickly into the room looking more than a little flustered. With an excited wiggle he took a seat and began to fawn over the cakes. “Take whichever you want, I’m not hungry.”

“Are you sure dear? That dark chocolate mouse cake looks right up your ally,” Aziraphale pointed out, digging into his strawberry shortcake. He was right, Crowley had bought that slice of cake specifically for himself. It would have been not too sweet and everything he liked in a desert, but the worry about what needed to be said had ruined his appetite. 

“Yeah, go ahead.” Aziraphale glanced down to his slice, then set his silverware down regretfully. “I said go ahead angel, I don’t mind.”

Aziraphale leaned forward a little, his hands disappearing under the table. Crowley knew from experience they would find their way under his thighs, crushed tight against the chair’s wood in an effort to keep them from flitting all over. Another habit from Aziraphale’s time with Heaven, where any stimming had been harshly discouraged. “No, I think we have a lot to talk about. And I want to apologize. Again.”

Crowley remained silent, knowing that Aziraphale had probably prepared what he wanted to say. As usual he was correct. 

“I was wrong to keep asking you about… it when you told me not to. I was being selfish, and not thinking about how you felt and terribly rude. And then you came back after I was so horrible and you came back with cake!” Aziraphale’s voice was getting louder and more high pitched as he went. It was obvious he was getting upset with himself but Crowley knew that interrupting him right now would only make things worse. “I got excited, and then I was pushy and I hurt you, dearest. I’m so sorry. I-I know I can be a little, well, tone-deaf but you said I was making you upset so explicitly and I just ignored you! How could I do that to you? Oh Crowley I don’t deserve your forgiveness.”

Aziraphale had begun rocking back and forth a tiny amount, quick little movements that he probably didn’t even notice he was making. “You’re right, of course. It’s so very dangerous, and I wasn’t thinking about it when you obviously had. I want to make it up to you, Crowley, if I even can.”

It hadn’t been what Crowley was expecting, given how persistent Aziraphale could be, and it was honestly a little disappointing. He may have been secretly hoping that the angel would be able to convince him, or had maybe thought of something Crowley had missed that would give them the go-ahead. But this was OK too, this meant they wouldn’t have to fight anymore and he wouldn’t have to keep thinking about it and they could move on. 

“Oh uh, yeah. Apology accepted angel. I’m sorry I stormed out.” Crowley was always quick to forgive Aziraphale, it was like it was impossible for him to stay angry at the angel. Though the way Aziraphale’s disrespect of his boundaries still stung, Crowley didn’t want to hold a grudge and make things worse, so he wouldn’t. 

“Thank you, dear.” Aziraphale stopped rocking but kept his hands firmly under his legs. Usually, this was the point where they hugged and made up, but his angel was still sitting, slightly tense. “Was your time away helpful?”

Crowley shrugged noncommittally. Aziraphale didn’t ask what he did when he was he spent time away after a fight, and he was immediately suspicious. “Sure, checked on the plants, slept for a while. The usual.” He left out the drinking. Over the last 5 years or so Aziraphale had grown concerned with the amount Crowley drank, even if he was an immortal being incapable of experiencing withdrawal. He had cut back, but times like the other night were another story. 

“Good, good.” The silence was back, and heavier. “And I assume that, from this point on, you do not wish to discuss that issue again?” The tentative nature of Aziraphale’s vice made it hard to hear if he was disappointed, or just being himself. Crowley cleared his throat. 

“That's probably for the best yeah.” But oh he wanted, wanted, wanted. It was killing him to deny them this thing that any old human could have easily. They could have anything else in the world, with their powers, but not this. 

“Alright, you won’t hear me speak another word about it. If you ever want to--well I’ll follow you lead dearest.” And Now Aziraphale was leaning over, one of his hands taking Crowley’s and squeezing. It was extremely warm from being tucked under his legs, but the demon still felt cold. “Now, if you’d like, I think you should try that ca--”

They were interrupted by an insistent knock on the front door. It was very rare for them to have guests and even rarer that they should drop by unexpectedly. The only other time anyone arrived was for deliveries, and even those were few and far between. 

“Oh, I wonder who that could be!” Aziraphale seemed all too eager to have something else to focus on, and to be honest Crowley was as well. He rose from the table, cakes and tea forgotten, and bustled to the door. Crowley stayed in the kitchen, trying to collect the unspooled pieces of himself. It was over, they had Talked, and now they could move on and everything would be just fine! Crowley repeated that over and over in his head, trying to drown out the wanting; just fine. He was so focused on not wanting that he almost missed Aziraphale’s sharp “oh dear!”. Almost, but not quite.

“Everything alright angel?” He was on his feet and sauntering into the foyer. Sometimes a particularly brave canvasser for some local church or scam organization would show up and Crowley had to scare them off. Often Aziraphale was too polite to do so himself, especially if they didn’t take to his subtle hints. Only once had the angel gotten stern with someone, and that had been when they tried to good old ‘foot in the door’ technique. In that instance, Crowley had had to save the canvasser form Aziraphale. 

That wasn’t what he found when he waltzed through the doorway. Standing there was Gabriel and Beezelbub in all their Heavenly and Hellish glory. They wore the same expression, of annoyance mixed with a large dash of disgust. “Oh shit.”

How I sold a premium domain for $2000 & made $600 as profit just in 45 days.

Taught this method to many newbies and got amazing results.

  BONUS #2: Domains To Cash

While all of the sales shown above generated amazing profits, there will ALWAYS be many, in fact most of the domains I register that never get sold. Shocked? Don’t be. REMEMBER: Each domain name registration is only $1 to $10. If I sell just ONE domain out of every 10 I register, the cost is a drop in the bucket.

The cost of registering 10 domain names will be between $10 and $100. By selling just one of those domains for $500, the profit is a very nice $400 minimum. Where else can you FAIL 90% of the time and still see outrageous profits?! That’s why I love the domain flipping business so much and have been passionate about it for 12+ years.

Flowerbeds and Fertile Soil: Chapter 8

Fandom: Good Omens

Rating: Explicit

Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens, )Anathema Device/Newton Pulsifer

Tags:  Kidfic, Mpreg kind of, they can choose to present however so idk, Crowley Has A Vulva (Good Omens), Crowley Has A Penis (Good Omens), Aziraphale Has A Penis (Good Omens), Aziraphale Has A Vulva (Good Omens), OCs Galor, parenting, using your snake form to avoid confrontation, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with a Happy Ending, Pregnancy, if I missed a tag lemme know

Summary: They could do anything, go anywhere, all without the worry of Above or Bellow making a fuss. Even so, they mostly kept to their little patch of Eden, their cottage and garden and the simple life they’d carved out among the locals. Aziraphale opened a book shop in town, where he only occasionally sold any books (and the ones he did sell, were all modern and stocked specifically for that purpose). Crowley focused his attentions on the garden, and if he occasionally helped their elderly neighbour with her disobedient willow tree, then that was a secret no one needed to know. Lately, however, they had both been feeling rather restless, unbeknownst to each other. Aziraphale tried reorganizing his store, changing the way he tied his bowtie and even ate pizza –something he considered to be far too messy for him personally. Crowley had branched out into birdwatching, and then car maintenance (the human way), and even reading. Nothing scratched the itch for either of them.

“Was it something I said?” Newt asked as soon as Crowley had cleared the dining room. Everyone had gone quiet around the table, even the girls who had been previously chattering happily. Aziraphale shook his head with a small sigh. Though the paella still looked delicious, he’d lost his appetite.

“No, not really. How were you to know that he’s been so very… sensitive about the issue of our baby,” he said, hoping to assuage any guilt the young man might have. 

“I thought something felt off when I mentioned it to him,” Anathema chimed in, looking only slightly less guilt than Newton

“I should have warned you he’s been a tad flighty, it’s my fault my dears.” Aziraphale waffled for a minute because he wasn’t sure how much Crowley would approve of him sharing. Probably nothing, but that didn’t seem like it was going to be possible in these circumstance. “Crowley wasn’t fully on board to, er, start a family initially. But then our situation improved, and he changed his mind only I’m not so sure we went about things the right way.”

Not for the first time, Aziraphale wished he’d insisted they talk about things more thoroughly before getting carried away. It wasn’t that he was doubting that Crowley wanted to have a baby with him, not really, but more that the demon was still harbouring some anxieties about what that actually meant. Even though God Herself had told them they would be safe, and their child fine, Crowley always had been full of questions and anxieties. Aziraphale had had a few moments of panic of his own, so he couldn’t imagine what kind of things Crowley was cooking up in his own mind.

“Crowley is very private. And for some reason he’s got it in his head that this whole matter is extremely personal. He won’t even talk to me about most things, I’m afraid,” he explained, trying the phrase things in a way that would cause the least amount of damage if Crowley were to overhear. “He’s been lying about the morning sickness and dizzy spells. He seems to think I don’t notice”

Anathema nodded along, still eating from her plate. Annabella and Charlotte had begun playing with their food more than eating it, though they remained reasonably quiet. “Doesn���t surprise me. It took him how many thousand years to confess he was madly in love with you?”

Aziraphale blushed. Over 6000 years, and at least 4000 of those he had also been aware of his feelings for the demon (more likely he’d felt that way from the beginning and not admitted it to himself until that first dinner they’d had--oysters at Patroneous’). They’d probably spoken more about their feelings in the past 10 years than the entire 6000. And even then they often left things unsaid out of pure habit. Perhaps that was exactly what Crowley was doing now, and really it was Aziraphale causing the problem by expecting something different. 

“I thought he trusted me,” he said quietly, staring down at the table. Suddenly he realized that he was essentially complaining about his relationship issues much more than either human probably wanted to hear about. “Terribly sorry, forget I said anything. I’ll speak with him later, I’m sure it’s just a misunderstanding.”

Anathema raised an eyebrow, clearly not ready to let this die. Newt seemed to pick up on her energy and slowly began clearing the empty dishes away. The girls took this to mean they were excused and quickly scampered away to their bedrooms, eager to get back to their toys. 

“Listen, Aziraphale. I’m not going to pretend to know half of what you two have going on,” Anathema started, her voice matter-of-fact, “and honestly I don’t have that much relationship advice to give, since I always knew I’d end up with Newt eventually from Anges’ book. But I do know you need to talk to each other. All the love in the world isn’t going to keep a relationship going if you don’t talk about things.”

This was the reason why Aziraphale loved humans. They could be so honest and willing to help, even when they didn’t have to be. “Thank you, my dear girl. You’re right of course, we’ve fallen into some very bad habits that are in need of addressing.”

Aziraphale stood to help Newt with the dishes, but he was waved off. “Why don’t you go see how he's doing out there? It’s been a while and we do have a dishwasher.” Aziraphale was doubtful of the machine's ability to stand up to Newton's general inability to use technology, but he was also grateful for the excuse to go check on Crowley.

“Thank you. I’m sorry again for making a bit of a scene. The food was delightful as always, Anathema,” he said. Anathema smiled and got up herself, most likely to check on the suspiciously quiet children. 

Outside, the weather was much the same as it had been when they arrived--warm with just a hint of autumn chilliness in the air. The trees were all still green for the most part, though a few had started to yellow at the edges. Aziraphale was looking forward to the fall because that was when all of his favourite cafes started serving exciting flavours of coffee and cocoa. He shut the front door quietly behind him and made his way to the Bently, still sitting quietly in the driveway. 

“Crowley?” he called. The tint on the windows made it impossible to see into the seats so he had to open the doors to check inside. It was empty, which was only a little surprising; Crowley was a restless being and Aziraphale had expected he would go for a walk instead of hanging around the car. There was nothing to be done for it then, and he would just have to wait until the demon came back of his own accord. 

“I do hope he isn’t gone too long…” Aziraphale murmured to himself. In the meantime, it couldn’t hurt to do one last check to make sure all the girl’s toys and sleepover items had been returned and weren’t hiding in the backseat or trunk. They didn’t want another incident where they got all the way home, only to discover a precious toy or favourite pair of shoes still tucked away. When he’d confirmed there was nothing in the backseat he popped the boot and went to check there.

“My word!” he gasped. Upon opening the boot he was greeted by several feet of black and red scales. “Crowley, what the devil are you doing in the car boot?”

Crowley’s body shifted, scales sliding against each other with a whisper-soft sound. Eventually, his head appeared to stare unblinkingly at Aziraphale. It was impossible for him to parse the snake’s facial expressions since there really weren’t any, and Aziraphale sighed again. It felt like he’d been doing that more than usual recently. 

“Dearest,” he reached out to caress the space between Crowley’s eyes, “are you alright? I have to say finding you hear, like this, is a shock.” Crowley’s head swayed up and down and he bumped his snoot against the angel’s hand, asking for more pets. “Is shifting like this safe for the baby? Not that I don’t trust your judgement.”

Realizing that Crowley couldn’t speak in this form and that he didn’t seem to want to change back, Aziraphale switched gears. “One boop for yes, two for no?” Crowley nudged his nose against Aziraphale’s hand once.

“Very good love. Now, are you alright?” One boop. “And is this safe for the baby.” Another single boop, a little more hesitant this time. “I trust your judgement, Crowley. Do you mind if I stay with you, or do you want me to leave?” Crowley gave him a Look, probably because there was no way to answer that question with their current system. Aziraphale internally cursed; he was so bad at this.

“Do you need some more time to yourself? I won’t be mad if you do,” he said, running his hands along the reddish scales that framed the snake’s eyes. Crowley nosed his face into the touch but didn’t give an answer. “I promise I won’t be angry if you want to be alone for a bit Crowley.”

Instead of answering, Crowley drew back and unfurled himself, slithering out of the trunk into his regular human shape. Aziraphale took a step back to give him space to finish the transformation, busying himself with shutting the boot after all of Crowley’s tail had cleared it.

“I dunno,” Crowley said finally, staring down at the pavement. “You didn’t give me one for that.”

Another internal reprimand. “Apologies, I’ll remember to next time.”

“Can I get a hug?” Crowley asked quietly. He was shuffling his feet and generally looked miserable. Aziraphale didn’t hesitate to scoop him up in his arms.

“You needn’t ask, lovely.” Crowley felt small in his grasp, his height not making up for the fact he was skinny as a twig. “I think we need to have a little chat later though, don’t you?”

“'Bout what?” The question was muffled and a tad whiney. “Nothing to talk about, just fancied a nap.”

“Crowley we both know that isn’t true. I thought you might want to discuss it at home though, where you’d be more comfortable.” There was no answer of course. Aziraphale hadn’t expected this to be easy. Personally, this was incredibly uncomfortable already, but trying to muddle through for Crowley’s sake. This didn’t come naturally to him, all this talking about their feelings, not after 6000 years of hiding. It seemed to him that even though they'd spent the last 10 years together, they really hadn't made much progress.

Crowley stayed silent, burrowing his face deep into the threadbare fabric of Aziraphale’s coat. The angel hummed tunelessly and shifted them from side to side slowly and rhythmically. This, at least, was familiar. This quiet sort of comfort was what he did best, and was often what Crowley asked for. Unfortunately, it wasn’t going to get them any close to talking things through. 

“Listen, I know that this whole situation is very strange and that you were uneasy with things from the get-go. I don’t blame you for feeling, unsure, about everything, I just want you to know that.” He was babbling, as he often did when he didn’t know exactly what to say. And as usual it seemed he’d stuck his foot in his mouth because Crowley tensed and pulled his head back, eyes hard and mouth grim. 

“I’m not bloody unsure,” he snapped, ready for a fight. Aziraphale could see Crowley getting himself worked up, could see this going much the same as that night two months ago if he didn’t fix things. Only he wasn’t sure how to do that, without knowing what Crowley was thinking. 

“Sorry, I--Crowley I just want to help! I-I want you to talk to me, so I can help you,” he pleaded, trying to push all his love and devotion and worry at the other. “Please, just talk to me.”

Crowley struggled in Aziraphale’s arms and wrenched himself free. “I don’t want your help! I don’t want you hovering, a-and fussing! I hate people making a big deal out of this!” He paced along the side of the Bently, his stride long and irate. “It was supposed to be no big deal, yeah? It’s not a big deal, humans do it all the time!”

Aziraphale watched him, afraid to say anything else since he’d messed things up so seriously once again. He felt like he was missing pieces, like he was on a completely different track at all times. If things kept up like this, he wasn’t sure how they were going to make it through.

“I don’t like being treated like an invalid Aziraphale. I hate their pity, and yours too. I just want everything to go back to normal.” Crowley was winding down. Sometimes that happened, he’d run out of steam and out of words and then pop off to his flat for a few days. Leaving Aziraphale to think over and over and over what he could have done better.

“Of course you’re not--I didn’t mean to suggest--I only worry. It’s hard to see you suffering especially when you won’t let me do anything about it and I--”

“I don’t want you to worry about me!” Crowley growled, back on the offensive. “I hate feeling like you--like anyone needs to watch out for me.” Hands wrapped around each other, strangling fingers as the twisted back and forth. “It’s the worst thing, you know. Making you worried about me.”

Trying very, very hard not to reach out and comfort Crowley, Aziraphale mirrored the wringing action of his hands. He couldn’t help it, really, the compulsion to reach out and touch and make things better. But if what Crowley was saying was true, then that was exactly the issue. “You not talking to me makes me worry more!”

Crowley physically recoiled, like Aziraphale had hit him. The angel watched as the carefully constructed walls and barriers behind Crowley’s eyes began to topple faster than he could rebuild them. “This’s stupid. We should have never--”

“Don’t say that!” Aziraphale shouted, his own emotions getting the better of him. “I-I can’t hear you say this was a mistake, that our baby was a mistake. It’ll break me, Crowley, please.” 

“Fuck Aziraphale,” Crowley said, taking a sudden sharp breath, “I wasn’t--I don’t think it was a mistake! I was going to say we shouldn’t have come here, stayed for dinner. Do you really think I don’t--that I don’t want it?”

And once again, Aziraphale had stuck his foot in his mouth and jumped to conclusions. He’d made everything worse for Crowley and opened up another pit between them, all because he couldn’t bloody think things through. If one could discorporate from regret, Aziraphale would have been long gone. 

“Well I… You seem so miserable, and you won’t talk to me. I just thought you might wish things hadn’t gotten so complicated.” Apologize, you idiot, he told himself. Another old habit he needed to break. “I’m sorry for assuming things. This’s why I wanted to--why we need to talk more.”

The few seconds of silence before Crowley answered felt like years. He took a shaky breath like he needed to and wasn’t just pretending at being a human. Sometime during the argument, his hands had come to wrap around his waist and hips, like he was shielding himself from the harsh words between them. It wasn’t supposed to go like this, he’d wanted to wait until they were home and they could sit down amongst their things and talk about this civilly. They could have even ordered in, gotten out some of the fresh fruit juice Aziraphale had taken to stocking up on, and made an evening of it. An evening that they could have remembered fondly, the point where they finally bloody talked instead of bumbling through things. 

“I wanna go home,” Crowley said in response, refusing to make eye contact. “I’ll be in the car, say bye for me yeah?” He was quick to turn around and climb into the drivers seat, slamming the door behind him (though not too hard, ever since it burned Crowley had be extra careful with the Bently). Aziraphale, frozen by the sudden dismissal, could do nothing but watch. 

It took him a few seconds to get moving. When he did it was almost automatic. He went up to the door, inside the house, and thanked Anathema and Newt for dinner. Said goodbye to the girls and to Alfred, told them Crowley said goodbye too, all with his usual smile. Aziraphale assured everyone that he and Crowley were fine, and that the demon had begun to feel unwell again so they’d better be off.

All of those goodbyes took much less time than usual, and he used the excuse of Crowley’s discomfort as a crutch to speed them along even further. In total it only took 15 minutes before he was back outside, standing at the passenger side door of the Bently. He didn’t even think of trying the driver's side. No matter how upset Crowley was, he wouldn’t let someone else drive his car. So Aziraphale waited a moment, until the Bently rumbled to life, then opened the door. 

Normally Crowley would rib him about taking so long to say goodbye, but not this time. They were both silent as he entered the car. It made Aziraphale extremely nervous, so much so he began to toy with the fraying edges of his waistcoat, endangering their structural integrity. Of course, he could miracle it back into perfect condition, but then it wouldn’t exactly be the same jacket he’d bought over 150 years ago. So halfway through the drive, he had to force his hands to be still by tucking them between his thighs.

Crowley’s face as impassive as he drove. Aziraphale tried not to glance over too much, but he couldn’t help it. Was Crowley angry? Was he upset? When they got home, what was going to happen? Aziraphale’s heart was pounding with anxiety by the time they pulled into the cottage drive, his entire being vibrating with it. Crowley still looked about the same. 

“S-so,” Aziraphale started. He was about to begin babbling, all the words he’d kept inside for the past few hours were going to come out in a big messy puddle and probably make things worse. But he couldn’t--he didn’t know how to do this. “I, ah, what I mean to say is--”

“M’tired,” Crowley mumbled, hands still poised on the steering wheel. “And I’m feeling a little, uh, my stomach’s all twisted, like a spring and I don’t wanna be sick all over the Bently so if we could go inside…”

“Of course! Let me--I mean, I’ll get the door and then make us a cuppa?” Much to his relief Crowley nodded and finally, finally looked over at him. 

��Did Book Girl give you that tea she was talking about?” Aziraphale was surprised, enough so that he didn’t say anything about the nickname.

“She did, would you like to try some? It smells of peppermint to me.” He hadn’t expected Crowley to want to have anything to do with the things Anathema had given them, nevermind ask about them so soon. But that was good, wasn’t it? Unless he was feeling so awful he was willing to try anything, which in that case Aziraphale felt worse for not noticing. 

“Yeah, and some crackers maybe? If you don’t mind,” Crowley added, fidgeting restlessly. “We could, well you could read but I might watch some telly?”

“Sounds lovely dear, I’ll put the kettle on.” He wanted to ask if Crowley needed help getting out of the car, but he had enough sense to know that would probably start another argument. So instead he gave Crowley’s shoulder a squeeze, then got out of the car to go do as he’d been asked. At the very least it gave him something to do, opening the front door with his key the human way, bustling about the kitchen to prepare the tea, spreading the crackers and a few slices of apple with cheese from the garden around a plate. He could hear Crowley come in not long after him and settle down in their living room, followed shortly by the intro to Great British Bake Off. 

“Here we are!” Aziraphale announced, balancing two cups of tea and the plate of nibbles as he hurried to the sofa. One cup found its home in front of Crowley, who was staring resolutely at the telly, and the other stayed with Aziraphale. The plate he put between them so they could both enjoy the snacks. Crowley mumbled his thanks and sniffed cautiously at the drink, but he took a sip and didn’t wince, so Aziraphale hoped it was alright. 

Again silence settled over them. It wasn’t the companionable silence they often shared while having a snack and enjoying each other's company in the late afternoon. It was a silence of absence, of things left unsaid. It was as bad as in the car.

“Thanks,” Crowley said suddenly, much more clearly this time. “For the tea and the crackers. They help, sort of.”

“Happy to hear it. I don’t mind, you know. Whatever you want I’ll bring it to you,” Aziraphale assured him with a soft smile. The desire to move the plate and scoop the other up and hold him tight. “I’ll wait until you ask though, if that makes it better? I guess I do--I have been hovering something dreadful.”

“You have,” Crowley agreed, taking the tiniest nibble of apple, grimacing and setting it back down. “I could’ve been a bit better about saying something though, I guess. I just, you know what it’s like, down there. I’m not used to… this. Needing help.”

This time Aziraphale did move the plate and shuffle over so he was close enough to lean against Crowley’s side. Crowley leaned into him too and it made the tight coil in Aziraphale’s chest relax slightly. 

“I’m not used to playing things by ear. I may have gotten a little swept up in everything and gone overboard with my attentions. I’m sorry for making you feel uncomfortable, but I need you to tell me these things Crowley. I’m not a mind reader.”

Crowley sighed and put his empty teacup down before snuggling into Aziraphale’s side even more. The angel lifted his arm so Crowley could tuck his head into his shoulder. “You could if you wanted. I wouldn’t mind.”

“What, read your mind? I would never invade your privacy like that!” Aziraphale exclaimed. The idea was off-putting, using his Angelic influence on Crowley in that way. 

“You’re too good for me angel,” Crowley replied with a hollow chuckle. “I’ll uh, try to say something next time.”

“And I’ll try to hover less. But Crowley?” Crowley made a noise to indicate he was listening, but Aziraphale hesitated. He wanted to tell Crowley that the demon deserved good things, that he deserved to be treated kindly. But that was probably too much for the current moment, so he held his tongue. Instead, he said, “You know I love you, right?”

Crowley cuddled closer. He always did, his snakish instinct to get closer to Aziraphale’s heat often overriding his unconscious mind. “Yeah. Love you too angel.”

The silence that followed was much warmer and more comfortable than the previous ones. Much more like their usual dichotomy. Aziraphale leaned forward a little bit to snag another cracker, which he pressed to Crowley’s lips. 

“A few more, then I maybe I can read to you? Or you can watch your shows while I read by myself.” This newly found peace after such a stressful afternoon was tentative, and Aziraphale was worried about breaking it by being overbearing again.

Crowley, however, just hummed in agreement and took the cracker. Between dainty nibbles he asked, “Can we finish this episode, then maybe you can read something? This is the one with the durian and it’s hilarious. Unless you want to do something else, that’s fine.”

Would they spend the next however long Crowley was going to be pregnant walking on eggshells? What about after the baby came? “No, no, that sounds good to me love. As I said, all you have to do is ask and I’ll give you anything.”

“��Kay,” Crowley answered, holding his hand out for another cracker, which Aziraphale immediately provided. They’d have to go out to the shops and stock up on some more at this rate. Maybe he could find a bakery nearby that made some fresh that Crowley might like better than the dry store-bought ones. “Can you get rid of the apples? They uh, they’re making me feel sick.”

In a blink the apples and the cheese (just to be safe) were gone and only the crackers remained. Crowley leaned up and placed a messy kiss on Aziraphale’s jawline in thanks, then turned back to his show. Aziraphale gave him a little squeeze around the shoulders, then settled in with the book he kept on the side table for moments like these. Things were comfortable again, and they’d talked a little. More progress could be made tomorrow, or the next day. After all, there wasn’t really any rush.
