    Summary

    It started, as many such cases often did, as a tickle.

    Crowley woke up feeling it in the back of his throat the next morning and immediately knew he was fucked.

    Not actually, yet; sure, the frog that had leapt and lodged itself between his tonsils and larynx was annoying and scratchy, but he could still ignore it.

    He told himself he would find a way to burn it out before it could set up shop.

    Yes, he was aware that particular statement went directly against his cold-bloodied reality, yes, that included keeping Aziraphale in the dark about the whole thing and no, Crowley wasn’t prepared to talk about it.

    Aziraphale and Crowley moved to their cottage in the South Downs a little over a year ago, and think themselves out of trouble. They’re wrong. Six thousand years is a long time for everything not to happen at least once; and it’s all Crowley’s fault.

    Summary

    Over the first few months of their newly romantic, sexual, and very human relationship, Crowley and Aziraphale begin the slow process of learning how to say what they mean. The journey towards declarations that are both out loud and emotionally functional involves a number of false starts, several near-confessions, a handful of arguments, a few reconciliations, and, naturally, rather a lot of sex.

    Summary

    In the bookshop at the beginning of the universe, Crowley and Aziraphale work together to author reality back into existence one handwritten page at a time. It all feels terribly cosmic and profound until the headache begins, followed shorted by the hand cramps. Unable to continue holding the pen, they may finally have to hold a few long-avoided conversations — or perhaps simply spend some time holding hands. [I was challenged to write E-rated hand holding, it predictably grew out of control.]

    Summary

    Aziraphale sees sound, words and feelings as colours.

    Crowley sees the world without colour at all – only shades of grey, light, shadow and texture.

    When they meet, they begin, carefully and almost accidentally, to show each other how the world looks from their side.

    A story of perception, translation, and the courage of allowing yourself to be seen in full colour.

    Summary

    This is a finale rewrite.

    Let's take the very general beats and themes of that pile of steaming BS and turn it into something that — gasp — doesn't completely undo the lessons and values of the existing narrative.

    Written in bastardized screenplay format (ie. I made up the formatting on the spot because no one can tell me what to do), one chapter per episode, six episodes total.
