    Summary

    The aftermath of a mission isn't usually like this.

    But then, this was no usual mission.

    The others are lost in their remembered worlds, repressing like talented amateurs, and it’s painful to watch. Bruce is no great actor, but he has eaten repression for so long now that it’s effortless; no-one can see how galling it tastes to him. These people, though. They can’t hide it from him, not him. He’s a professional.

    Summary

    Crowley didn’t usually approach people in his favourite haunt Eden bar. Looking like he did, he didn’t need to, frankly. He just smiled at whoever he fancied, and they’d usually saunter right over.

    Sometimes he made an exception – like for the insanely gorgeous man that was definitely a first-time visitor. Crowley watched him, entirely unsubtle. Watched the flex of his fingers around a whiskey glass, watched the tap of his other hand on a book. Reading in a bar shouldn’t have been sexy, but it was.

    ----

    “Thank you.” He said in a smooth, deep voice. “But no, thank you.”

    “Er, what?” He stammered, confused.

    The smile widened. “Thank you for the drink. No thank you for the implication.” He said.

    Crowley blinked, not understanding. “Huh?”

    The other man sighed. “My dear, surely you’ve been rejected before?”

    Summary

    In the beginning there were two dumbasses... but they don't look how you expect. Because in a universe where the Snake of Eden never fell, who's job is it to tempt the first humans?

    The demon (oddly familiar, but with a scale or two here and there, dusty blonde hair with dirty roots, odd eyes) putters and grins. “Oh good. Truth be told, I’m a little nervous. First big assignment and all.”

    “I didn’t know demons could feel nervous. Is that just your thing, or...”

    Were all angels this conversational? He couldn't remember, but his fellow demons certainly weren't. It was refreshing to hear full sentences, to be asked about himself.

    “Ah, I’m afraid I’m quite unique in that regard... the others would think me daft if I told them.” The demon answers, curling inward a little self-consciously. The angel suspects the other demons would do a little more than pass silent judgement if they found out. He smiles despite himself, while he carefully stirs the surface of blurry, half-formed memories. Tiny ripples warble outwards.

    *Chapter Four Posted! Yes, it's been almost two years. Yes, I'm sorry.
