It was only ever going to be a matter of time before the paparazzi discovered which hotel Max is staying at. There’s a small posse lying in wait for him today as he steps out of the Biltmore, clamouring for both space and his attention as they try to snap the perfect photo.

Usually it isn’t so bad. Max has been dealing with these people for most of his life, and is more than capable of giving them the brush-off, throwing them a cheeky comment and a wink as he climbs into a waiting car or disappears inside a club. Now though? Now his patience is stretched dangerously thin as he battles the first hangover he’s had in six months.

He tries to put up his usual front, to smile and banter and whatever else he can think of, but his sunglasses and cap do little to mask the state he’s in. It’s like they can sense weakness, a frenzy of sharks scenting blood in the water, and as Max moves to push through them, they close ranks around him, pushing and shouting and shoving their cameras in his face. “Alright, enough- fucking hell, enough!”

This story continues where the second season ends.

In the quiet heart of Soho, amidst the timeless rhythm of London streets, lived an angel that despite the celestial nature of his being, carried his life as a human. Mr. Azira Fell had forgotten he was an angel. His real name, his past, his angelical memories—all was wiped clean.

In the bustling heart of Mayfair, amidst the eternal chaos of London's streets, resided a demon who, despite his infernal origins, embraced life as a mere mortal. Mr. Anthony J. Crowley had forgotten he was a demon. His true name, his dark past, his infernal memories—all had been erased from his consciousness.

In the quiet heart of Soho, amidst the timeless rhythm of London streets, lived an angel that despite the celestial nature of his being, carried his life as a human. Mr. Azira Fell had forgotten he was an angel. His real name, his past, his angelical memories—all was wiped clean.

Mr. Fell, as he was known, was a man of quiet habits and impeccable taste. His life revolved around his dusty bookshop, a treasure trove filled with rare tomes and antiquities. The shop had been his inheritance from his grandfather, and like his predecessor, Aziraphale chose to live in the cozy flat above the bookshop. Here, among the pages of ancient books, he found solace.

Despite owning one of the most extensive privately-owned collections of books of predictions, Wilde first editions and the complete set of the Infamous Bibles, rivalling the likes of Andrew Carnegie and Biltmore House, Aziraphale barely earned enough to make ends meet. He stubbornly refused to part with any of his cherished treasures. Fortunately, he had inherited not only the bookshop but also several neighbouring properties, which provided a substantial income in rent, considering his rather expensive tastes.

Mr. Azira Fell was a man of refined sensibilities, evident in his choice of attire. He dressed in a classic style, donning jackets, vests, and bow ties that required the utmost care in hand washing. A gold pocket watch and a neatly folded handkerchief were his constant companions, a testament to his attention to detail. He indulged himself with visits to some of London's finest restaurants, regardless of the exorbitant prices. And he couldn't resist the occasional short journey to acquire a new literary treasure.

He was unmarried, and could use his money in whichever he pleased. With a keen eye for detail, he meticulously managed his finances, relying on his trusty outdated and slow, computer, which was still ideal for the small businessman. Aziraphale's scrupulous record-keeping had attracted the scrutiny of tax authorities on no fewer than five occasions.

He read, wrote, listened to his classical music, and occasionally he ate out at the best restaurants of London. One could think he had everything he wanted, and he had it.

Though he often portrayed a warm smile and endeavoured to do good whenever he could, beneath the calm and content surface of his existence lay a profound loneliness. Mr. Fell had never experienced the joys of love, nor had love ever found its way to him. There lingered within him a vague memory of a stolen kiss, but he couldn't discern the recipient's identity, leading him to conclude it was a passage from one of his cherished novels—a memory that belonged to someone else.

In the midst of this melancholic existence, Aziraphale had developed a peculiar routine. He had grown to detest the customers who ventured into his quaint bookshop, seeing them as unwelcome intrusions into his solitary haven. In an ironic twist, he seemed to make every effort to scare them away.

He would greet them with an air of indifference, his warm smile replaced by a stoic expression. If asked for assistance, he'd offer a curt reply, often steering them toward the more obscure and inaccessible sections of the shop. The most daring customers who dared to inquire about the prices of his cherished tomes were met with a disdainful, eye-popping quote, designed to make them reconsider their literary ambitions Mr. Fell had mastered the art of customer dissuasion.

But the most tormenting aspect of his life was Azira couldn’t sleep. His heart ached with an indescribable longing. It was as if he were searching for a piece of himself or someone that had been lost to time, a yearning he couldn't quell no matter how many books he read.

Each night, he randomly selected a book, retreating to the dimly lit room above the bookshop. There, he sought solace in the act of reading, attempting to distract his restless mind. And when, at last, Mr. Fell's weary eyes drifted closed, the shadows brought with them a sad sight— the golden, slanted eyes that watched him with a sorrowful gaze. These eyes were the key to the enigma that consumed him, the memories that slipped through his grasp, and an inexplicable ache he couldn't define. It wasn't a nightmare; it was a mystery—a puzzle begging to be solved, tugging at the very corners of his soul.

He knew he had forgotten something crucial, something that had once defined his very existence. But what was it? And why did those eyes visit him every night?

As he drifted further into the depths of forgetfulness, Mr. Fell couldn't escape the nagging suspicion that there was more to this life, more to himself, than he could comprehend.

In the bustling heart of Mayfair, amidst the eternal chaos of London's streets, resided a demon who, despite his infernal origins, faced life as a mere mortal. Mr. Anthony J. Crowley had forgotten he was a demon. His true name, his dark past, his infernal memories—all had been erased from his consciousness.

Professor Anthony J. Crowley, known for his biting wit and sarcastic demeanor, was a man who walked a fine line between anger and optimism. At fifty, he still dressed impeccably, his attire reflecting the swagger that was a hallmark of his identity. His sleek, ginger hair showed no signs of grey, and he maintained a physique that defied his age. This well-preserved appearance added to his self-perceived image of a fearsome villain.

Living alone in a flat that exuded style, Crowley seemed to have it all. It was the quintessential bachelor pad: spacious, white, elegantly furnished with priceless masterpieces, and with a designer's touch that gave it an unlived-in appearance that only comes from scrupulous cleanliness and order. The bed was always perfectly made, the fridge consistently stocked with gourmet food that he rarely consumed. Instead, he preferred to drown his sorrows in alcohol, as if trying to fill a void left by a love he couldn't remember. To this end, he kept a meticulously curated selection of the finest wines and a well-stocked arsenal of liqueurs.

The lounge area boasted a massive television, a sleek white leather sofa, a video player, a laserdisc player, and a square matte black sound system. Crowley took pride in his collection of soul discs, considering them his personal trophies. He also possessed a refined selection of horror novels, though they remained largely untouched. While he owned a computer, it served as little more than a decorative piece, a symbol of his modernity, with sporadic use limited to checking stock market updates.

The only things in the apartment that brought him some sort of enjoyment were the houseplants. Towering and verdant, they stood as a testament to his ability to nurture something other than alcohol. Their shiny, healthy leaves reflected the only sense of order he had ever embraced.

As much as he enjoyed the comfort and style of his flat, Crowley couldn't shake the feeling that it was not truly his home. The memories that occasionally brushed against the edges of his consciousness hinted at a life beyond these four walls—a life that he had forgotten, but one that continued to elude him. There was a pervasive sense of displacement, a nagging sensation that something vital was missing from his existence.

Beyond the walls of his meticulously designed flat, Crowley worked as an associate professor in the department of Physics and Astronomy at University College London (UCL). He delivered lectures three days a week and reluctantly provided doctoral tutoring on the other two. However, students who dared to choose him as a tutor were scarce. Among the astronomy department, he was the most feared figure, known for his relentless pursuit of perfection and a penchant for merciless corrections. His trademark phrase, "Learn better," echoed through the hallowed halls as he passed by, striking terror into the hearts of aspiring astronomers.

Crowley's approach to teaching was unique, to say the least. He was always willing to explain concepts to his students, but he demanded nothing less than excellence. His exams were renowned for their level of difficulty, and failing one of his tests meant more than just a bad grade—it could jeopardize a student's entire academic career. The fear of Crowley, more than the fear of any deity, hung heavy in the lecture hall. His position at the university was not born of necessity but rather served as a distraction from the solitude that engulfed him.

One of the defining aspects of his threatening appearance was his perpetually hidden eyes, concealed behind dark sunglasses. He had a rare sensitivity to light and was mostly color-blind, confined to a world of blue and yellow for what felt like centuries. Wearing sunglasses, even when unnecessary, served as a precaution to shield the world from his monstrous, deformed pupils. Anthony couldn't help but ponder why he was different from everyone else.

Despite his intimidating exterior, Crowley had a soft spot for his vintage Bentley. Anthony would run his fingers over the steering wheel, feeling a connection to it that he couldn't explain. The sleek, black vehicle was his pride and joy, a symbol of both his love for the open road and his disdain for inefficiency. He meticulously maintained the car, treating it with a tenderness that he rarely displayed toward anything else. The purr of the engine, the feel of the leather seats, and the rush of wind through open windows were his solace in a world that often left him feeling adrift.

From all outward appearances, Professor Anthony J. Crowley seemed content, possessing everything his heart could desire. Yet, beneath the surface, he grappled with a profound emptiness.

Anthony was never hungry; food held little allure. Instead he drank, too much, as he was painfully aware of the loneliness that loomed over him.

Love had never graced his life, nor had he ever truly loved anyone. Despite this, the faintest echoes of love seemed to haunt his memories, he always blamed the romantic comedies he watched for planting foreign memories in his mind. Still, the ache persisted—the emptiness that gnawed at his heart each night as he sought answers in the darkness.

Crowley's nights were plagued by a sense of emptiness that alcohol could never fill, but once alcohol lulled his mind to sleep, he found solace in a pair of kind and loving blue eyes that watched over him in the dark. These eyes were a gift, fuelling the fragile optimism that at some point he would come out on top; that the universe would look after him and everything would be better.

biography.

tba

fun facts. (drunk driving mention)

Over the course of his life, Max has dated no less than seven women named Georgina. That works out as approximately one Georgina per every five years.

Max is currently six months into a twenty month suspension of his driving license, following his well-publicised arrest for driving under the influence.

He grew out his hair expressly because he knew his father would hate it - the fact that Viktor also hates it is just a bonus.

The Liddells aren't exactly a hugging family, but Max craves physical affection, and will seek it wherever he can get it. He has a way of drawing people into his orbit until he has them tucked up against his side, his arm wrapped around their shoulders or his fingers tangled with theirs, the contact as natural as breathing.

If he wasn't a Liddell, and his life wasn't completely off the rails, Max probably would've trained as a pilot.
