Summary
There are books missing from the library in the Abbey. A crime, Aziraphale suspects, that carries something much more serious underneath. He isn't expecting to deal with a demon summoned to kill him. He isn't expecting to find an ally in the oddest place.
An ally, and something else.
“Okay, so. The thing is,” Crowley starts, shifting again in his spot, “uh, someone wants you dead.”
Aziraphale blinks. “Pardon?”
“Didn’t you hear me? Someone wants you dead. As in deceased. As in six-feet-under. As in–”
“Alright, alright! That’s quite alright, thank you,” Aziraphale chokes out. “I still don’t see–”
Crowley heaves a sigh. “Listen, Angel.” He leans forward, elbows pressed against his knees, his hair falling around him like a curtain made of fire. He closes his eyes before continuing. “Truth is, someone summoned me to, er, to kill you, actually.”

Summary
Crowley takes a step back, searching for a way to get down without breaking his neck, when he sees a legionnaire coming in his direction. His heart beats in his mouth, his nerves going haywire, and he almost collapses to his feet. It's impossible to escape. The only way to get out is to descend the wall, but that would leave his back exposed. An idiotic move, with an enemy approaching.
He can feel his pulse in his temples, the heavy, acidic taste of fear pushing up his throat, making his skin ring and tense tight, the red-fever terror of being caught loud in his blood. He isn't ready to die, to be shackled and tossed to the ground with a heel on his neck just short of snapping his bones like twigs.They could do so much worse. He has heard the tales.
Crowley is a Brigante during the first Roman invasion of Britain, trapped in turbulent times for his people and their land. Aziraphale, a centurion newly-assigned to the region, is tired of all the fighting. When they meet, things will start changing for them.
