    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.

    Summary

    Jayce Talis has had a meteoric rise from B-list TV actor to Oscar nominee, a result of constant work and dedication to his craft. It should be the stepping stone to bigger and better projects.

    Yet, when he receives a letter from his old writing partner after seven years of zero contact, he drops everything to fly to New York and work with him again, this time on the stage. New conflicts rise amongst old tensions, but Jayce knows that in the end, making art with Viktor is worth all the heartache. Right?

    Summary

    No story that starts with an overpass and a bottle of vodka ends well.

    Here’s how it goes: boy is lonely. Alcohol and overpass cliche. Boy meets boy. Boy loves boy. Boy does not say a word about it. Happy montage. Slice of life montage. Sad montage. Boy and boy grow further apart. Boy leaves boy. Boy does not get over it. Alcohol and overpass cliche returneth. Boy is lonely.

    Sisyphean indeed.

    :::

    Disillusioned, depressed and drunk, Viktor forgoes throwing himself off an overpass and takes the only marginally better route of texting his long-estranged best friend instead.

    Or: Jayce turns up on Viktor’s doorstep after five years.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
