    A stillness at once awful and sublime by

    Summary

    It’s a momentary lapse of emotional regulation, if one is generous. An absolute fucking meltdown, if one is honest.

    When Adam comes back into his body, he’s lying on his bed, empty styrofoam staining his duvet with red chili oil, blank-eyed scrolling through his LinkedIn feed of job openings at Harley-Davidson for motorcycle engineers. He doesn’t want to work for Harley; he’s got brand loyalty to Honda. Also, being a mechanic again would be backsliding, and he is absolutely, most certainly, not backsliding.

    No, he just needs a sabbatical. A break from reality. Something temporary. Remote. Far from Virginia.

    Then he sees it: "Fire lookout."

    Too Generous by

    Summary

    “You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.”

    Or: what happened after the [ we all got hit by a ] bus scene (aka "you could stay at my place, if you like")....

    In Mixed Company, or the Corporate Retreat of Heaven and Hell by

    Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)  

    10 Feb 2020

    Summary

    Every 300 years, Heaven and Hell share a company retreat on Earth during which angels and demons temporarily surrender their celestial powers.

    Officially, it’s a time for fostering team unity and better understanding the needs of the client base. It’s definitely not a time for terrorizing the hotel staff with divine/diabolical showdowns, abusing the ethereal expense account, or furiously snogging your hereditary enemy. But when Aziraphale and Crowley are up for promotion, Hell breaks loose and Heaven might just break free.
