    Summary

    Aziraphale's acquaintances in the book trade keep misconstruing his customary affability into expressions of affection, leading to much awkwardness.

    Crowley proposes a solution.

    ----

    "I can't have you acting the possessive paramour every time I fall into a misunderstanding."

    "Acting the—oh, never mind. Look, I'm over here all the time anyway, and having it known you're already taken will stop the nuisances. Half the trade is gay, so they won't mention it. For my part, I get to foment petty jealousy, so it's all to the bad. Why not?'

    Aziraphale felt sure there was a good reason why not, but Crowley had pushed his sunglasses back to show earnest golden eyes, and right now the angel couldn't think of one. After all, the Arrangement had been ill-advised from the beginning, and that had worked out all right.

    "I suppose we could try," he said cautiously.

    Summary

    Crowley made an unintelligible but expressive noise. “Anyway, there’s no mess inside the door. So I suppose everything will be fine.”

    “I do wish you’d speak directly.”

    “Slippery tongue of the serpent.” Crowley flickered the tip of his tongue out, visible for just a split moment, and Aziraphale caught himself trying to see if it was divided at the end. Really, he wasn’t entirely himself. It was rude to look for holes in Crowley’s human disguise, even if the memory of his naked form hovered at the edge of his mind. “I’m glad to be here with you, too.”

    For just a split second, Aziraphale felt as if the world hung in balance again, and the wrong move would send it plummeting into a changed reality. He breathed slowly and carefully before answering.

    “It’s a pleasure to survive with you, too,” he said.

    Book boys, slowly and awkwardly negotiating being in love.

    Summary

    Aziraphale doesn't believe in true love, at least for him. If it was to happen, it would have happened before middle age and good dinners made braces as much a convenience for his belly as a style choice, before blond curls faded to white-gold, before deep vertical lines cut their way between his eyes and the horizontal bags under them became permanent.

    He doesn't believe in lust at first sight, either. Oh, he's seen people hook up casually in bursts of hormones and attraction, he knows about nightclubs and Grindr, even though he deleted the app in consternation the first time he sent a shy greeting and got a picture of an erect penis in response. It's a foreign language, and he secretly knows he's the despair of his French conversational tutor. At least learning French is fun.

    He doesn't know how to explain the fact that he's pressed against the wall of an empty storeroom, hands pushed up under jacket and shirt to feel warm skin and bony spine, mouth full of tongue and a slim leg pressed hard against his erection, nothing but fire and wanting and the odd feeling he is floating.

    Summary

    Aziraphale stopped his eager hand. “Ah-ah, now, I’m meant to be tempting you tonight. Remember, you’re an angel. The picture of goodness and innocence.” He grinned rather wickedly.

    Satan help him, there was a stirring beneath Crowley’s holy robes.

    “How about edelweiss? For our safety word.”

    The stirring flagged significantly.

    -

    Crowley and Aziraphale roleplay as an innocent angel and a big scary demon, respectively. Very silly, not-so-secretly sweet, accidentally sexy, and definitely cringeworthy.
