    Summary

    Crowley – he doesn’t make a single sound. Almost doesn’t breathe at all. Is this what humans feel like in churches, when they drop their eyes to the ground and respect the silence by speaking in murmurs? He reverently presses his lips to the delicate skin in the crook of the angel’s elbow, and it feels like a prayer.
    He chances a glance up, sees nothing but the taut lines of Aziraphale’s bare neck as the angel keeps his face turned away from him. Not disgust, then – permission. Permission to touch, as long as Aziraphale doesn’t have to bear witness to it.

    🔶

    Crowley notices a little quirk Aziraphale has - sometimes, the angel will keep his eyes closed and refuse to acknowledge what's happening around him.
    At times, he does it when there's something he doesn't want to see.
    Other times, when he's indulging in something he's not supposed to.

    Summary

    Gabriel was flexing the whip between his hands, all his teeth showing as he smiled. “No volunteers,” he said. “In that case, as Archangel and Aziraphale’s former commander, it will fall to me to administer the ritual. Aziraphale, do you-“

    “Wait.”

    Once again all eyes fell upon Crowley, but Aziraphale’s were the only ones he noticed. They were wide and startled and gravely concerned, but was that a touch of relief Crowley could see in there as well?

    “I’ll do it,” Crowley said. “If you consent to it, Aziraphale. I’ll help you with this…atonement.”

    He couldn’t quite keep the sarcasm out of the last word, but for Aziraphale’s sake he tried.

    --

    Once every century, all angels are required to perform a ritual of atonement. Aziraphale has always faced it alone, but this time he doesn't have to.

    Summary

    Summer, 1138, and the civil war brewing in England has come to the city of Shrewsbury, and the neighbouring abbey.

    When Shrewsbury Castle falls to King Stephen Lucifer, ninety-four defenders loyal to Empress Michael are hanged as traitors. With a heavy heart, Brother Azirafael agrees to bury the dead–-and discovers a ninety-fifth body among the lawfully executed.

    The only other person who seems to care about this extra victim is the enigmatic Lord Crowley. However, Crowley is King Lucifer's man, and while he could make an attractive ally, Brother Azirafael isn’t sure how far he can be trusted.
