    Summary

    V1 was a machine without a past and heading into nothingness, acting as the thing he had been running away from all along: Death. As the notorious Harbinger of Death, he had no joy to seek from life, only bloodshed for more bloodshed to follow.

    It took one angel for everything to change, for the all-devouring to deem life as the most sacred. He knew he had changed forever when he saw love in blood, adoration in gold, and salvation in Gabriel’s presence. Logic and utility lost meaning before his gradient presence; his chuckles a strike against the emptiness of existence. The world was no longer for V1 to thrive in its destruction, but for him to kneel and gift it to Gabriel. Bullets stopped before his presence; cries of war turned into hymns.

    ...maybe fate never had to be so dark in the first place. With an angel who taught him to live the life he had been trying to preserve for so long, maybe there waited a future where civilization bloomed once more. Built just to make one dying angel's wish come true—Gabriel didn’t have to know the latter detail.

    Summary

    Male bartender angel reader x Gabriel in short

    You were a special case in heaven, one that greatly befuddled the High Council and the angels under their control. That was for certain.

    You were the last human to cross the threshold of heaven before humanity collapsed in the era of the New Peace, but you weren't innocent as a child would be in a better, peaceful world if there were one at all.

    You've seen too much, had too much hope broken, and lost your touch for expressing dignified decorum and fake, joyful emotions befitting an angel with your social status on Earth. After all, you were beloved like a saint on Earth.

    You were the last bartender on Earth who actually cared for his customers and somehow grew up believing in the word of God. You gave drinks away, listened to all the woes of the people who came into your bar like a priest in a confession booth, keeping your tongue, and gained a reputation that followed you after death after saving so many lives. All indirectly. A reputation so pure and so impactful in such a broken world that it granted you your body from Earth, but without the pain and scars from a war that lasted too long, and with a new set of wings. Get to serving!
