Summary
He shouldn’t have come here. Albus Dumbledore realised this as he watched the witches and wizards that had attended the candidate’s dinner bid a hasty retreat. He had an inkling as to what might have caused this, perhaps not entirely innocent in the sudden evacuation himself, and perhaps he could have told himself that he had come to observe the outcome of his plan, but…
What was the use? When Gellert Grindelwald walked out the door and onto the street, his heart might as well have shouted his true motivation from the rooftops.
Set right after the candidate’s dinner in The Secrets of Dumbledore.

Summary
He can’t do this.
“Can I—” he bursts, stops, overflows again. “Would it be too terribly forward of me to ask—”
This is so much. How can small words hold so much? Perhaps he can keep it in, after all. If the words can hold it, maybe he can too. Maybe he won’t crack and rupture.
Or: After the bus ride back from Tadfield and the erstwhile End of the World, Aziraphale reaches his breaking point.

Summary
He feels more than sees Crowley’s smirk. “You want something wretched.”
“Yes,” Aziraphale breathes in answer.
“Something foul,” Crowley continues. He moves them suddenly, and Aziraphale finds himself looking up into golden eyes. “Tell me what you want, angel. I will indulge whatever deplorable desires you have.”
____________
Aziraphale wants Crowley to take, and Crowley does.

Summary
It is just a peach. He’s eaten plenty of peaches before. There is no reason why this one should be any different. He can have it if he wants it. However—he’s perfectly aware he’s being tempted, and that’s why he should say no. He should control himself.
Crowley brings the peach to his own mouth, and Aziraphale watches him, transfixed, lips parted and breath itching in his throat. The demon locks eyes with him as he takes a bite, the sound wet and sweet and obscene.
~~~
Aziraphale asks Crowley to use his demonic powers to tempt him. It's very effective.- Language:

Summary
Panicking, Reid went on. “I was just speculating, a hypothesis, unconfirmed, like you all. Wasn’t that the point of the game? I’m pretty sure that was the point of the game.” He adamantly ignored the flush rising on his cheeks.
Emily’s eyes narrowed. “You said ‘he’s actually more talkative than you’d expect,’” she repeated slowly. “There was no speculation anywhere in that statement. That was a statement of fact.”
“Oh my god.”
