Harper continued to glare at him “I’d sooner eat this club than tell you anything, so you may as well go home because anyone who knows him is going to protect him from your holier-than-thou ass.” Harper said leaning in as well with a sharp glare Ben gently grabbed his sister’s arm out of habit knowing her at any moment she would totally swing at Gabriel
“Watch your fucking language.” Gabriel looked from one sibling to the other. Then with a snap Ben was gone. “Now then I tried being nice now look what you’ve made me do.”
Harper felt the hand disappear from her arm and she turned to her brother instantly her fire was gone as she looked around frantically for her brother before glaring at Gabriel
“Bring him back NOW” she demanded once more pointing the club in his face as she seethed “You have no idea the hell you’ve unleashed if you don’t bring him back safe and sound now.”
Harper had never killed an arch angel before but to hell if she wouldn’t try and if she failed she had an organization of knights behind her that would no doubt try just as hard
“Hell? Unless that is what you have named your weapon,” Gabriel raised his brow, clasping his hands before him. “Now you can either tell me where Aziraphale is or expect to never see your brother again.”
“I told you I don’t know,” Harper told him “Now bring. Him. Back. last chance,”
Harper said to him threateningly as she could despite being on the verge of a total melt down as she tried to think of what to do, other than beating an arch angel with a golf club.
“Give him back or I’ll use this!” Harper threatened
“Humans are useless,” Gabriel said as he started walking away.
Harper swung the club hitting him in the back only for the club to snap and fall to the ground as she stood with just one end in her hand
“look I don’t know where Aziraphale is, bring Ben back” Harper told him she remembered Ben’s phone and looked for his bag grabbing it quickly before she dug through his phone
“look you can call him, call him and apologize then-then bring Ben back alright?!”
Gabriel looked at the phone, he had no idea how to use it to be honest. “Call him. No, that isn’t how one apologizes and Mother won’t think it sincere enough. I’m afraid that won’t bring your brother back.”
Harper gave an irritated huff as she went through the phone until she found crowley and called him praying to whoever was listening he’d pick up
“crowley, your bastard angel from the apocalypse is back and he took Ben!”
“You’ve reached Anthony J. Crowley, you know what to do do it with style.” *beep*
Harper cursed and hung up the phone what were the chances aziraphale had his phone? Not likely.
Harper called Juliet next
“Juliet! Where are your brother and aziraphale?” Harper asked
Juliet frowned
“I’m not sure, I’m at home why?”
Harper glared at Gabriel
“because Aziraphale’s angel friend is so hell bent on apologizing that he kidnapped my brother” Harper said that gave Juliet pause
“isn’t that sort of backwards?”
“you’re telling me,” Harper said rolling her eyes Juliet sighed
“I’ll find him, stay close to him” Juliet told her before she hung up
“there. I’ve done everything I can, give Ben back”
“Find me Crowley or Aziraphale or no baby brother back. I know you humans can do better.” Gabriel smiled. “So do better.”
Harper glared at him
“fine. But if you hurt one hair on his head I swear I’ll sell my soul just to kick your ass” Harper told him with a huff she hated this but she couldn’t lose Ben. Harper grabbed Ben’s bag and headed for the bookshop, crowley was hard to find aziraphale was a little easier
Gabriel rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers the fire going out from the trash can and the trash can correcting itself, the golf club going into the trash can. May as well go find something to do till she returned.
Harper searched anywhere she could think of until she saw the two gingers and hurried over
“crowley!”
Harper hurried over to him her calm had dissipated to near panic
“crowley, I need your help- Ben and Gabriel and-” Harper’s entire form started to shske as she went from trying to catch her breath into full on break down with tears flooding down her cheeks
Crowley seized her by the shoulders, “where is he?” Crowley snarled. “I’ll get your brother back. Just tell me where the bastard is, he’ll regret crossing to this universe.” He had pulled out a kerchief and started dabbing her eyes. “There,” Crowley offered his kindest smile. She was practically a kid in comparison.
“Gabriel’s in the park,” Harper said wiping her eyes a bit “he says he only wants to apologise but I don’t trust him.” Harper said trying to calm down but she still couldn’t stop herself from crying, Harper had lost just about everyone else in her life she couldn’t bare the thought of losing Ben too
“I’m so sorry crowley, I tried to get rid of him, Ben tried to and he just- just magicked him away” Harper said Juliet gave Harper a tight hug and she looked at crowley
“crowley it’s got to be a trap, your Gabriel doesn’t seem like the type to just apologise”
“He’s not, he’s lying through his pearly whites.” Crowley pulled up his phone seeing the message! “How did I not ahhh! My phone’s on silent, Aziraphale and I were seeing a play earlier.” He turned on the sound. He dialed Mikey’s number and got a message for the inbox being full. Crowley frowned, groaned and looked at her. “Well we can’t just let him take Ben! Come on!”
Juliet nodded a bit before she looked at harper
“aziraphale is at the knights headquarters, I think he might be with Raphael get them to the park ok?” Juliet asked her Harper nodded a bit
“I’m so sorry,” Harper said softly
“it’s not your fault,” Juliet told her before she started for the park, she couldn’t leave crowley to do this on his own
Crowley stalked towards the park. “Oi! You purpled eyed git! Yes you high and fucking mighty! You bring back Ben or I swear I will make you regret it so greatly that-“
“Ah Crowley, what a terrible nuisance you have become. Soon to be remedied I should think.”
“I think you should bring the boy back and start leaving!” Crowley told him. As usual Crowley had nothing but his imagination for a weapon.
“You know I promised Mother I wouldn’t harm a single angel but you, you’re a demon! So just stand there shut up and die.”
“Funny I could say the same thing after the bullshite farcical that was Aziraphale’s trial!” Crowley said feeling a strange bit of courage perhaps if only for the sake of Ben.
This couldn’t end well, Juliet stood with Crowley listening to the whole thing
“Gabriel we went over this last time, just save everyone the trouble and rather than get in trouble with Mom do what you said you’d do and apologize then go home” Juliet said trying to keep it civil before her brother tried and failed to fight an arch angel alone
“Oh I never said I would apologise to the demon he is still my enemy.” Gabriel sneered. “Aziraphale sure. But the demon who tempted him.”
“You made it easier by treating him terribly for being the best angel of you all. He is full of love, kindness and forgiveness. Something you could learn from him.” Crowley said. “You’re a bastard Lucifer was more of an Angel than you now when he fell.”
Gabriel’s face twitched then he brought up his hand backhanding Crowley sending him back. Already the hellish parts taking over from being in this universe too long. “So like a demon to spout lies.”
Crowley stood. “The truth is always more fun. You know what I said to be true.”
Gabriel brought up his swift and mighty sword. “You will die today.”
“If it means you never touch a feather on Aziraphale, gladly.” Crowley held out his arms. “Mother won’t be pleased.”
One small problem (open)
Juliet wasn't sure how it got in her bag, it had been behind the counter at work all day had I of the other girls perhaps done it? Juliet didn't know why.
When she had gotten home from work she had found herself the new owner of an old spell tome, much like the ones she has pictures littered aziraphale shop in soho. Flipping through the old pages she wondered how it came into her possession or if it even worked?
Juliet knew she should have called Gabriel or mikey right away but....well why give them a book of she didn't know if it was dangerous? Juliet went until she found a rejuvenation spell ans looked at her poor wilting flowers she hadn't thought to water in a while, what a better test subject?
Juliet went around and she found some candles and the salt, she found a pair of scissors to cut one of the flowers petals as the spell said and a glass of water. Juliet got to work and went about her little test but....well rejuvenation apparently wasn't what she thought it was as she suddenly was much smaller, the world much bigger and having no idea what had happened other than she was small, she was lonely and frightened.
The angel-now-toddler began to wail in her sorrow of being alone until the magic box besides her began playing a peculiar music she picked it up looking at the flashing screen and grinned at the familiar face that popped up her hand poked the screen until she heard the voice
"hi hi!" She giggled excitedly "imma count to a hundwed one, two, thwee..."
Juliet gave the tiniest kitten sneeze before she took a handful and threw it back at Mikey giggling before she turned to crowley and booped him with a flour covered hand
Will peered over Aziraphale's shoulder raised a brow before turning and leaving shaking his head.
Crowley picked up a bit of flour and traced warrior markings with the flour on her face.
"Tada! Fierce!" Mikey grinned making feral expressions playfully on his face.
Juliet giggled until will walked out and she pouted a little
"Will no want cookies?" She asked aziraphale hesitated
"no I think not my dear ..how in Earth did you get so dirty?" Aziraphale asked as he took out a handkerchief and began gently wiping flour away
"Flour war Angel!" Crowley said pressing a kiss to Azriaphale then patting his face coating it in copious amounts of flour. He wore that devious devilish grin.
Aziraphale gave crowley a thoroughly unamused look before wiping his own face
"Crowley my dear I love you very much but please don't test me," aziraphale next instinct was to ensure his book and then his clothes were still untouched before he walked away putting the book ontop of Juliet's refrigerator so it would be safe
Juliet giggled
"i think zira needs a nap"
Crowley looked to Aziraphale, "Angel, why are you so down?" He frowned softly and walked to his Husband he was clearly attempting to try and be reasonable. "I know you wanted to talk but," he looked to Juliet. "We will be right back." He lead his Husband away to where they could talk. "Angel. I know you aren't happy, but this is an unprecedented opportunity for me to know my little sister when she was littler. I just, I missed out on so much. I just want one day to hold in memory for my days. Just the one then she csn go back to being older. Just let me tuck her in goodnight."
Aziraphale nodded a bit and sighed
"I know love," he looked over to the cute little cherub who waved happily as she used cookie cutters of angel wings
"alright, but after that we have to turn her back to normal" aziraphale told him he wanted crowley to have this as long as he understood it was only for today.
Crowley waved back and nodded. “I know it has to come to an end. She can’t stay this way forever and she deserves to live her own life. But just for a moment truly a moment she can stay this way. After that back to well what we can consider normal. Now shall we go back to giving her the best reanactment of her childhood?” Crowley asked. “Or are you still sour about the flour?”
Aziraphale nodded a little bit and smiled at Crowley “Alright, just until bedtime.” Aziraphale said to him he leaned forward and kissed his husband before he pulled away “But kindly keep me out of your flour war, I’ve kept these clothes in pristine condition for centuries I’d rather not ruin them now.” Aziraphale added to him before he also pulled out the book that Will had given him and showed Crowley practically glowing
“Will gave me the first published copy of his book!” he added excitedly he was going to go into Juliet’s room and read it while they did their baking wars he would come out when the mess was cleaned up.
Crowley watched the reveal of the book, “Aww Angel that is wonderful.” Crowley couldn’t help the amused smile that came to his face. “No doubt you’d like to get to reading it? I think Mikey and I can handle it from here, enjoy yourself Angel.”
Aziraphale nodded and kissed him again
"let me know when you're done with your war I'll help you clean up" aziraphale told him before trotting off to Jules room.
"crow, crow dis one looks like you!" Juliet holding up a cookie dough snake she had made
“Yes Angel,” Crowley smiled walking back to where Jules was. “Oh that is marvelous!” He grinned, “What a perfect little snake, I think God herself would be proud of you.” Crowley ruffled her hair. “Such a good snake and such a good sister.”
Jules giggles happily before she began stamping out more shapes with cookie cutters but leaving her cookie dough creation to be baked and eaten later
Once the cookies were baked Crowley looked at her, “I think it is time for bed.” He dreaded this but it had to be done, it was time for the fun to end or at least this kind. “I promise to read whatever story you want.”
Juliet frowned at him “Awww but I don’t want to go to bed.” Juliet said her bottom lip sticking out Aziraphale had come out of the room by now and overheard as he offered a small smile knowing that this was hard for Crowley
Aziraphale snapped his fingers and Juliet was in her night gown “Go brush your teeth dear even angels can get cavities.” Aziraphale said Juliet let out a sigh and did as she was told, Aziraphale approached his husband and wrapped his arms around him
“I’m sorry dear,”
“All good things must come to an end,” Crowley smiled. “Except where you are concerned Angel you may never end I cannot imagine it.” He pressed a kiss to his Husband’s cheek resting a hand on Aziraphale’s hand. “I love you.” He murmured. “Thank you for helping me.”
Mikey held up the concoction. “Alright finished it. It should have her back to normal.”
juliet came back in a hurry and threw herself up into Aziraphale’s arms as he caught her and brought her up so he could hug her and she squealed laughing as he smiled
“Come now dear, lets get you to bed it’s been a long day for you.” Aziraphale said to her as he took her hand in one of his and Crowley’s in the other before leadin her to the bedroom. Aziraphale helped Crowley tuck her in tight and kissed her forehead before he patted Crowley on the shoulder and left so he could have his final bit with his baby sister before she returned to norma;
Crowley smiled holding his sister close as he sat beside her on the bed reading the story she had picked out watching her drift off. “Sleep well my precious sister.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead and tucked her in one more time. He stood for a moment watching her. He would hold this day close in his memories especially as he knew that he would need it. He slipped the concoction into her night water beside her bed and went out to Aziraphale before burying his face into his beloved’s shoulder.
Juliet snuggled close and listened to the tales that Crowley wove as her eyes began to droop and she slowly drifted off to sleep snuggles close to him until she was fast asleep
"wuv you crow" she mumbled softly as she finally went to sleep
Aziraphale held his husband tight and smiled grimly at him
"it's alright my dear, at least you got to enjoy it while it lasted" aziraphale told him squeezing him tight
“And enjoy it I have, how is the book? Did the Bard do it again? Is it masterful? Not another tragedy is it?”
Aziraphale smiled a bit
"not a tragedy but I'm afraid it will be a hit." Aziraphale told him as he looked down at his book again and began mindlessly running his hand through crowleys hair before he looked up at Mikey
"thank you for helping with Juliet tonight"
“Of course if you need anything just call.” Mikey waved to the two and left.
Crowley rested his head on Aziraphale’s shoulder, “Well that’s wonderful.” Crowley murmured.

Juliet remembered them mentioning a project involving her they were working on something to do with the scary book
"does that mean no more play?" Juliet asked them frowning her bottom lip sticking out and aziraphale cracked if just for the moment
"of...course we can play for a little while longer Juliet" aziraphale said sighing a little bit he would have to talk to crowley later about this maybe after some kind of distraction
“We can always play,” Will smiled. “Just want to make sure that we don’t forget our responsibilities after play time is over.” Will gave Crowley and Mikey a pointed look.
"what's a spinsibility?" Juliet asked looking at them all like they kept some kind of secret from her
"things we have to do even if we don't like them" aziraphale told her before booking her nose she burst into giggles then before she looked up at all the grown ups
"can we pway Baker? Cooking with crow is fun!" She asked hopeful
“We could bake cookies?” Mikey suggested. “Cookies are always your favorite.”
“And decorate them with frosting!” Crowley added.
Will looked at Aziraphale with a sympathetic look.

Hades smiled a bit and nodded before he turned to the woman again
"i nearly forgot, can I get one of your frozen dog treats for my puppy as well" Hades asked the woman sold him one and he brought it out to.whete dezzy was patiently waiting and nommed it happily as her tail wagged
-
"yay! We should save the leafy Dino's for him, I don't think he would like the nommy ones" Juliet said nodding a little bit as if that were obvious
"the leafy ones might eat his books though"
-
"you're...not surprised?" Aziraphale asked as he began to bustle around the kitchen and make tea as best he could seeing as he hadn't been in this kitchen before. Lottie returned and smiled
"called Maurice, he will be here to care for the chicken and find em a new home"
Kit followed him outside, "get warm Mr Boogeyman." He sat close as if he could warm him.
-
"I don't think he minds either one dear," Crowley smiled. "You do bring up a good point they might eat his books but I think we are safe of that we aren't in his shop." She had such a wonderful imagination! Like him, what a good little sister!
-
Olga looked to Aziraphale, "I'm a VanHelsing, I have heard worse." She smiled. "Weirder, English isn't my first language."
Lottie came over and pressed a kiss to her wife's cheek "it's alright love, I love ye for it anyway" Lottie told her and aziraphale thought the whole scene was rather sweet as he heard the kettle whistle and poured the tea into a pot and noticed Lottie suddenly had some lemon chocolate truffles and some shortbread cookies
"those look lovely did you make them yourself?"
"yep! Old recipe" Lottie said taking the tea tray from her guest and leading them to the living room
-
Hades chuckled at the sight and ruffled Kit's hair
"I'm fine dear, thank you for worrying about me" Hades told him taking a bite of his ice cream and enjoying the taste
"want to try some of mine?"
-
Juliet looked to the table where her textbooks sat and she wiggled out of crowleys arms and climbed up on a chair dropping each book onto another chair so she could get them down and move them away from the table
"just in case" she told him shrugging
Olga smiled and snuck a chocolate pinching Lottie affectionately on her ass.
-
Kit grinned and held out one of his spoons for Hades to select a bite for him. "Wanna try mine?" He held up his bowl there was still some in there that was solid.
-
Crowley chuckled and picked the books up putting them in Jules' room by her backpack. He came back out dumping the pasta in the strainer. Shaking the excess water he put it back in the pot adding the butter and milk and cheese powder. "I wonder if there was someone who could help me stir?" He looked to Juliet holding out his arms for her.
Aziraphale smiled a bit they were rather sweet it was nice to see that do many years of marriage and they were just as in love with each other as the start. It reminded him a bit of himself and Crowley. Lottie jumped and chuckled a bit swatting Olga's arm
"so will tell us about her meeting with the queen"
-
Hades took the spoon and scooped some of his ice cream for kit to try
"no thank you, I've had it a couple of times you enjoy" Hades insisted it was sweet and dezzy was loving her frozen doggy treat Hades couldn't help but wonder if kit wanted kids some day, Hades had always somewhat pictures himself a parent but he also knew that being a demon made that... complicated
-
Juliet smiled
"mememe!" She said raising her hand high for him to see. She hurried over to him and jumped up into his arms giggling happily
"this won't end like the milk right?" She teased giggling
“That can wait,” Will said. “Oh Aziraphale now that it is a go her assistant told me it has been put through.” He pulled out an Author’s copy of the book he had written from the briefcase he used. “I want you to have it. The first edition and Author’s copy of the first Shakespeare story written in well over four hundred years.” Inside penned in Will’s handwriting was a note of tender friendship for Aziraphale. “I know it isn’t getting to be the first to read it but I-I hope it makes up for it.” He smiled to Aziraphale.
My dear friend Aziraphale,
May this book be not only a reminder of our friendship. But also be the first of many books in your new collection. I hope you like it. I spent much time keeping it hidden from you as I wanted it to be a surprise, no Crowley doesn’t know about this either. Though he almost did. Thank you for your help and for being an inspiration and without a doubt the worlds most delightful Angel, Heaven is lessened without your presence, and the world has gained a much needed source of benevolence.
Your friend,
William Shakespeare
P.S. I wrote you and Crowley in it guess who!
-
Kit tasted it then made a face, “mint! Mama makes me wash with mint soap!” He chuckled. “Keeps the rats away.”
-
Crowley smiled handing her the spoon. “I hope not because those Dinos will be very lonely in our tummies.” He kissed her cheek holding her to stir the pasta.
Aziraphale took the book excitedly as he grinned down at the cover, reading the letter on the inside his heart swelled with happiness and his eyes filled with joyful tears it was such an honor and-Well what could he say really? words couldn’t describe what he was feeling and how happy he was.
“Will...I -I don’t....This is....” Aziraphale wiped his eyes and smiled at him as he held the book close to himself “thank you, I’m sorry I don’t know what else to say but the gesture truly deserves much more than that.” He told him Lottie smiled “Aww Will that’s very sweet,” she had read the message over aziraphale’s shoulder
-
Hades smiled at him “Mint is good for many things, ice cream is the preferable form at the moment.” Hades told him as he took the last few bites of his and tossed it in the trash can as Dezzy curled up at his feet enjoying the sun
-
“Don’t be lonely dinos your cheesy friends are on the way!” Juliet shouted towards the oven as she started to stir in all the ingredients in the pot she started humming some random tune she made up on the spot as she mixed it around and watched as it happily formed the gooey childish treat that she loved
Will smiled, “I really hope you enjoyed it. “Titania certainly did when I found her.” He explained the odd meeting then looked to the two women. “Do you think something may have gone amiss?”
-
Kit nodded and held up his cup at the trash getting it in. “We should go back before dey wurwee.” Kit nodded again as if affirming this. “Did you enjoy your tweat?” He asked Dezzy who’s tail flopped happily before she licked Kit’s face. Kit giggled patting Dezzy. “She so warm!” He looked up at Hades. “Dank oo boogeyman! Dis is da best day evah!”
-
Crowley took a moment to look away his heart was swelling too much this was too good and pure! “I don’t think anyone could be lonely with you Jules! Not even Dino nuggies.”
Lottie thought for a long moment trying to think of the few times she had met the queen
"doesn't sound like her to just run off without saying goodbye, fae are very particular about being polite like that" she said thoughtfully Titania had been known to disappear from time to time from what she knew but not when she was already in the middle of disappearing
-
Hades smiled and took her leash leading them off back to the apartment again
"don't tell Jules about the ice cream, no need to make the little cherub jealous after all
-
Juliet smiled happily at crowley
"i think it's done" she told him poking at the planet shaped macaroni with the spoon before she pulled a tiny piece off the spoon and popped it in her mouth happily
"yum!"
Will finished his tea and biscuit.
-
Gabriel rounded a corner and froze at seeing Hades, not Aziraphale but by God he looked like him and was that a puppy? And a... he could sense the darkness in the child but it was almost grey. A child demon? He didn’t like that.
Tiny Kit stopped and tugged on Hades’ hand. “Look.” He pointed to Gabriel.
-
Crowley pulled out the Dino nuggets. “And they need to cool down before lunch.”
"awww" Juliet said sadly as she looked at the dino nuggets and then the Mac and cheese "crow can we get ketchup too?" Juliet asked him hopeful and idea in her tiny cherubic head
-
"maybe go back and see if ye can find a spell or anything that could sense ill intent?" Lottie asked when no one said anything else on the matter
-
Hades looked up and remember the angel-gone-demon from the apocalypse, instantly he pulled kit behind him protectively as dezzy crouched down and let out a low growl
"and what might you be doing here again? Lucifer didn't taint you enough last time?"
“Of course, ketchup makes everything tasty.” He opened the door for the fridge. “Can you grab it?” He asked. “I’ve got you.”
-
“That might work, but first we need to get this tiny buisness taken care of. Lord knows what a tiny demon and a tiny angel could create! Together their imagination could rival perhaps even Crowley’s.”
-
Kit peered behind Hades’ leg glaring up at the bad angel.
“I was just coming to apologize to Aziraphale.” Gabriel held up his hands innocently. He leaned down and smiled at Kit. “Hi there tiny demon.”
Kit moved from behind Hades. “I’m no afwaid if you!” He stood strong and took Hades’ hand.
“Aww isn’t that sweet,” Gabriel sneered.
“Because I have a Boogeyman!” Kit glared at him harder before the ground under Gabriel began cracking and the sounds of evil spirits filled the air.
Gabriel backed away clearly horrified.
Kit looked up at Hades and giggled before passing out.
Hades couldn't help but laugh until kit fainted and Hades caught him quickly gathering the little demon into his arms
"you should let that be a warning to you, from what I've heard your universe is soft compared to ours, perhaps you should stay there next time" Hades told him he didn't trust him for a moment he didn't trust most angels unless he knew them well enough or didn't consider them a threat like Juliet or aziraphale but this one was trouble and had proved it last time.
With that said he took hold of dezzy and teleport them all back to Juliet's place and put kit in her bed tucking her in
"keep an eye on him dezzy alright?" Hades asked as he patted the pups and looked at kit worriedly he should warn aziraphale but how did he find him?
-
Aziraphale nodded a bit that was a frightening thought indeed as he stood
"a baby angel and a baby demon are not to be triffled with, be careful" Lottie said she packed up some of the cookies and gave them to aziraphale with a hug
"don't be a stranger! Next time bring the husband we can double date" Lottie said sitting on the arm of Olga's chair and smiling
"I'll keep that in mind, thank you for everything ladies" aziraphale said
-
Juliet did she went to the fridge and got the ketchup while preforming a tiny miracle of her own the dino nuggets turned into ice cubes frozen to the tray
"is that cool enough?" Juliet asked him looking at the tray
A glow came over Kit as he rested and he was now a full grown man and looking exactly how he had before. He sat up as Dezzy whined and stretched. "Oh my stars, where am I what fresh Hell is this?" He frowned.
-
Will smiled, "Oh and I think that Jane said she needed to see you about something." Will made his way out to the car.
-
Crowley looked over, "This time it was ice not a meteor that killed the dinosaur."
"ice age!" Juliet said giggling as she looked up at crowley happily "did I do good? They're cool now!"
Actually they were back where they started but she was so proud of herself for helping
-
"oh we will call her as soon as we get a moment away from these babes" Lottie assured him happily
-
Dezzy barked and chased her tail as Hades reappeared unable to find aziraphale but he did notice his husband had returned to normal
"feeling more yourself my love?'
"Mmm was I not?" He got out of the bed and went to Hades and pressed kisses all over Hades' mouth. "Mmm minty, and-" he frowned. "Did you have ice cream?"
-
Crowley chuckled and unmiracled them back. "Yes dear they were very, lovely dino-cicles."
-
Will waved and drove with Aziraphale, "Right we got the ingredients."
Juliet picked one up and nommed it happily as she sat there but she did hear barking from her room and looked on curious
"puppy?"
-
"you don't remember?" Hades asked him curious but he couldn't help but smile "my dear you nearly took our the other universe Gabriel because 'the Boogeyman was protecting you" Hades teased him leaning in and kissing his cheek
-
"now will they work is a very different question" aziraphale said to him thoughtfully they were meant to work on humans hopefully a bigger dose would work but....what if it didn't?
Dezzy hopped up licking Juliet's feet.
Crowley chuckled and sat Juliet down dishing up the food for her. "There you are, chicken nuggies Mac n cheese ala Crowley."
-
No I came to bring her assignment and after that all is blank," he shook his head. "Aww I didn't kill the rat bastard?"
-
Will shrugged, "we can always try other options." He smiled. "Or congratulations on your little sister-in-law."
"until Raphael murders us for turning her sister into a cherub" aziraphale said Raphael was surprisingly intimidating even if she was an alternate crowley.
-
"afraid not you fainted first," Hades said brushing Kit's curls from his face "you enjoyed your lavender ice cream though."
-
Juliet giggled at dezzy and stole her feet away before she took her plate
"thank you crow!" She said before shoveling a forkful of Mac n cheese in her mouth and nomming it happily
"Terrifying I have heard from the angels down here and what I saw during armageddon." Will pulled into the spot.
-
"Wait you suffered through ice cream for me, why?" Kit frowned thoughtfully. "What happened?"
-
"You are most welcome my dear," Crowley pressed a kiss to Juliet's forehead.
Aziraphale nodded a little bit before he let out a sigh and got out of the car at least this would be over soon though he knew crowley was probably enjoying having a little child to take care of again, especially getting to know how Juliet was when she was little.
_
Juliet began playing with her dino nuggets on the table the the T rex chasing and trying to eat the stegasaurus, the stegasaurus swiped his tail though and the trex was thrown away as juliet let out a tiny ‘aaaahhhh’ and flipped the nugget a few times between her fingers before she chomped his head off happily
_
Hades didn’t want to tell Kit that his little self had told him about his abuse, that should be something he wanted to talk about when he was ready “You wanted to tag along with me and it was hot, all kids like ice cream right?” Hades asked him wrapping his arms around his love and holding him close
“Besides you’ve always had me wrapped around those little fingers of yours and you know it.” Hades told him smiling
Will entered holding the door for Aziraphale and smiled at the sight of Juliet and Crowley. “Aww smells yummy. What did you two make?”
-
“And you have me all to you. You know I would follow you to the ends of the earth darling.” Kit gently pressed his forehead to Hades’ he looked down at Dezzy scooping her up. “Now then darling why don’t we go home? I’m sure the events of the day have worn you out.” Kit smiled. “Besides I need to make up for you being so sweet and me not remembering anything.” He booped Hades’ nose affectionately.
“Mac n cheese with Dino nuggies!” Jules said happily she hopped down from her seat and hurried over jumping up to hug Will and Aziraphale quickly “There’s some for you too!” she told him giggling excitedly as Aziraphale chuckled
“That sounds lovely my dear,” Aziraphale told her he looked over at the table and noticed that the dino nuggets had begun walking around the table as if they were alive again and a minor snap of his fingers had them returned to normal before Jules could see what she’d done.
“Well then we’ll have lunch and then we need to get to work on a special project for you.” Aziraphale said chuckling
_
Hades chuckled a little bit “That sounds like a wonderful idea,” Hades said to him suddenly forgetting why he’d miracled them here in the first place as he wrapped his arms around Kit and pressed another kiss to Kit’s nose and then his lips
“I’m so happy to have you back my love,” Hades told him
Will sat down eating a few nuggets and Mac and cheese not particularly hungry for them. He had a very unusual diet as it was. “I think I will prep some of the things for the project.” Will smiled.
Crowley looked to Aziraphale. “Maybe the project can wait?” He was enjoying Jules as a child.
The door opened and Michael grinned. “Where is the little jewel of heaven? There she is!” He hunched down and held his arms out for her.
"Mikey!!" Juliet slid out of her chair and ran to him hugging him tight and giggling like mad "we got dino nuggies" she told him happily
Aziraphale looked at crowley
"my love we do have to change her back eventually." Aziraphale said he knew crowley was having fun but...she did have to get back to her life
Mikey’s face lit up excitedly gasping, “Dino nuggies? Awesome!” He scooped her up and tossed her in the air catching her. “How is the Jewel?”
Crowley smiled, “oh look Mikey is here, guess project will have to wait.”
Aziraphale frowned a little bit
"Crowley we aren't finished discussing this" aziraphale warned him before turning to their guest
"what brings you here Michael?" He asked him wondering how they could have been found out
"Crowley sent a text," Mikey said. "Who else knows tiny Jewel better than me? Isn't that right Jewel?" He ruffled Juliet's hair.
One small problem (open)
Juliet wasn't sure how it got in her bag, it had been behind the counter at work all day had I of the other girls perhaps done it? Juliet didn't know why.
When she had gotten home from work she had found herself the new owner of an old spell tome, much like the ones she has pictures littered aziraphale shop in soho. Flipping through the old pages she wondered how it came into her possession or if it even worked?
Juliet knew she should have called Gabriel or mikey right away but....well why give them a book of she didn't know if it was dangerous? Juliet went until she found a rejuvenation spell ans looked at her poor wilting flowers she hadn't thought to water in a while, what a better test subject?
Juliet went around and she found some candles and the salt, she found a pair of scissors to cut one of the flowers petals as the spell said and a glass of water. Juliet got to work and went about her little test but....well rejuvenation apparently wasn't what she thought it was as she suddenly was much smaller, the world much bigger and having no idea what had happened other than she was small, she was lonely and frightened.
The angel-now-toddler began to wail in her sorrow of being alone until the magic box besides her began playing a peculiar music she picked it up looking at the flashing screen and grinned at the familiar face that popped up her hand poked the screen until she heard the voice
"hi hi!" She giggled excitedly "imma count to a hundwed one, two, thwee..."
Hades smiled a bit and nodded before he turned to the woman again
"i nearly forgot, can I get one of your frozen dog treats for my puppy as well" Hades asked the woman sold him one and he brought it out to.whete dezzy was patiently waiting and nommed it happily as her tail wagged
-
"yay! We should save the leafy Dino's for him, I don't think he would like the nommy ones" Juliet said nodding a little bit as if that were obvious
"the leafy ones might eat his books though"
-
"you're...not surprised?" Aziraphale asked as he began to bustle around the kitchen and make tea as best he could seeing as he hadn't been in this kitchen before. Lottie returned and smiled
"called Maurice, he will be here to care for the chicken and find em a new home"
Kit followed him outside, "get warm Mr Boogeyman." He sat close as if he could warm him.
-
"I don't think he minds either one dear," Crowley smiled. "You do bring up a good point they might eat his books but I think we are safe of that we aren't in his shop." She had such a wonderful imagination! Like him, what a good little sister!
-
Olga looked to Aziraphale, "I'm a VanHelsing, I have heard worse." She smiled. "Weirder, English isn't my first language."
Lottie came over and pressed a kiss to her wife's cheek "it's alright love, I love ye for it anyway" Lottie told her and aziraphale thought the whole scene was rather sweet as he heard the kettle whistle and poured the tea into a pot and noticed Lottie suddenly had some lemon chocolate truffles and some shortbread cookies
"those look lovely did you make them yourself?"
"yep! Old recipe" Lottie said taking the tea tray from her guest and leading them to the living room
-
Hades chuckled at the sight and ruffled Kit's hair
"I'm fine dear, thank you for worrying about me" Hades told him taking a bite of his ice cream and enjoying the taste
"want to try some of mine?"
-
Juliet looked to the table where her textbooks sat and she wiggled out of crowleys arms and climbed up on a chair dropping each book onto another chair so she could get them down and move them away from the table
"just in case" she told him shrugging
Olga smiled and snuck a chocolate pinching Lottie affectionately on her ass.
-
Kit grinned and held out one of his spoons for Hades to select a bite for him. "Wanna try mine?" He held up his bowl there was still some in there that was solid.
-
Crowley chuckled and picked the books up putting them in Jules' room by her backpack. He came back out dumping the pasta in the strainer. Shaking the excess water he put it back in the pot adding the butter and milk and cheese powder. "I wonder if there was someone who could help me stir?" He looked to Juliet holding out his arms for her.
Aziraphale smiled a bit they were rather sweet it was nice to see that do many years of marriage and they were just as in love with each other as the start. It reminded him a bit of himself and Crowley. Lottie jumped and chuckled a bit swatting Olga's arm
"so will tell us about her meeting with the queen"
-
Hades took the spoon and scooped some of his ice cream for kit to try
"no thank you, I've had it a couple of times you enjoy" Hades insisted it was sweet and dezzy was loving her frozen doggy treat Hades couldn't help but wonder if kit wanted kids some day, Hades had always somewhat pictures himself a parent but he also knew that being a demon made that... complicated
-
Juliet smiled
"mememe!" She said raising her hand high for him to see. She hurried over to him and jumped up into his arms giggling happily
"this won't end like the milk right?" She teased giggling
“That can wait,” Will said. “Oh Aziraphale now that it is a go her assistant told me it has been put through.” He pulled out an Author’s copy of the book he had written from the briefcase he used. “I want you to have it. The first edition and Author’s copy of the first Shakespeare story written in well over four hundred years.” Inside penned in Will’s handwriting was a note of tender friendship for Aziraphale. “I know it isn’t getting to be the first to read it but I-I hope it makes up for it.” He smiled to Aziraphale.
My dear friend Aziraphale,
May this book be not only a reminder of our friendship. But also be the first of many books in your new collection. I hope you like it. I spent much time keeping it hidden from you as I wanted it to be a surprise, no Crowley doesn’t know about this either. Though he almost did. Thank you for your help and for being an inspiration and without a doubt the worlds most delightful Angel, Heaven is lessened without your presence, and the world has gained a much needed source of benevolence.
Your friend,
William Shakespeare
P.S. I wrote you and Crowley in it guess who!
-
Kit tasted it then made a face, “mint! Mama makes me wash with mint soap!” He chuckled. “Keeps the rats away.”
-
Crowley smiled handing her the spoon. “I hope not because those Dinos will be very lonely in our tummies.” He kissed her cheek holding her to stir the pasta.
Aziraphale took the book excitedly as he grinned down at the cover, reading the letter on the inside his heart swelled with happiness and his eyes filled with joyful tears it was such an honor and-Well what could he say really? words couldn’t describe what he was feeling and how happy he was.
“Will...I -I don’t....This is....” Aziraphale wiped his eyes and smiled at him as he held the book close to himself “thank you, I’m sorry I don’t know what else to say but the gesture truly deserves much more than that.” He told him Lottie smiled “Aww Will that’s very sweet,” she had read the message over aziraphale’s shoulder
-
Hades smiled at him “Mint is good for many things, ice cream is the preferable form at the moment.” Hades told him as he took the last few bites of his and tossed it in the trash can as Dezzy curled up at his feet enjoying the sun
-
“Don’t be lonely dinos your cheesy friends are on the way!” Juliet shouted towards the oven as she started to stir in all the ingredients in the pot she started humming some random tune she made up on the spot as she mixed it around and watched as it happily formed the gooey childish treat that she loved
Will smiled, “I really hope you enjoyed it. “Titania certainly did when I found her.” He explained the odd meeting then looked to the two women. “Do you think something may have gone amiss?”
-
Kit nodded and held up his cup at the trash getting it in. “We should go back before dey wurwee.” Kit nodded again as if affirming this. “Did you enjoy your tweat?” He asked Dezzy who’s tail flopped happily before she licked Kit’s face. Kit giggled patting Dezzy. “She so warm!” He looked up at Hades. “Dank oo boogeyman! Dis is da best day evah!”
-
Crowley took a moment to look away his heart was swelling too much this was too good and pure! “I don’t think anyone could be lonely with you Jules! Not even Dino nuggies.”
Lottie thought for a long moment trying to think of the few times she had met the queen
"doesn't sound like her to just run off without saying goodbye, fae are very particular about being polite like that" she said thoughtfully Titania had been known to disappear from time to time from what she knew but not when she was already in the middle of disappearing
-
Hades smiled and took her leash leading them off back to the apartment again
"don't tell Jules about the ice cream, no need to make the little cherub jealous after all
-
Juliet smiled happily at crowley
"i think it's done" she told him poking at the planet shaped macaroni with the spoon before she pulled a tiny piece off the spoon and popped it in her mouth happily
"yum!"
Will finished his tea and biscuit.
-
Gabriel rounded a corner and froze at seeing Hades, not Aziraphale but by God he looked like him and was that a puppy? And a... he could sense the darkness in the child but it was almost grey. A child demon? He didn’t like that.
Tiny Kit stopped and tugged on Hades’ hand. “Look.” He pointed to Gabriel.
-
Crowley pulled out the Dino nuggets. “And they need to cool down before lunch.”
"awww" Juliet said sadly as she looked at the dino nuggets and then the Mac and cheese "crow can we get ketchup too?" Juliet asked him hopeful and idea in her tiny cherubic head
-
"maybe go back and see if ye can find a spell or anything that could sense ill intent?" Lottie asked when no one said anything else on the matter
-
Hades looked up and remember the angel-gone-demon from the apocalypse, instantly he pulled kit behind him protectively as dezzy crouched down and let out a low growl
"and what might you be doing here again? Lucifer didn't taint you enough last time?"
“Of course, ketchup makes everything tasty.” He opened the door for the fridge. “Can you grab it?” He asked. “I’ve got you.”
-
“That might work, but first we need to get this tiny buisness taken care of. Lord knows what a tiny demon and a tiny angel could create! Together their imagination could rival perhaps even Crowley’s.”
-
Kit peered behind Hades’ leg glaring up at the bad angel.
“I was just coming to apologize to Aziraphale.” Gabriel held up his hands innocently. He leaned down and smiled at Kit. “Hi there tiny demon.”
Kit moved from behind Hades. “I’m no afwaid if you!” He stood strong and took Hades’ hand.
“Aww isn’t that sweet,” Gabriel sneered.
“Because I have a Boogeyman!” Kit glared at him harder before the ground under Gabriel began cracking and the sounds of evil spirits filled the air.
Gabriel backed away clearly horrified.
Kit looked up at Hades and giggled before passing out.
Hades couldn't help but laugh until kit fainted and Hades caught him quickly gathering the little demon into his arms
"you should let that be a warning to you, from what I've heard your universe is soft compared to ours, perhaps you should stay there next time" Hades told him he didn't trust him for a moment he didn't trust most angels unless he knew them well enough or didn't consider them a threat like Juliet or aziraphale but this one was trouble and had proved it last time.
With that said he took hold of dezzy and teleport them all back to Juliet's place and put kit in her bed tucking her in
"keep an eye on him dezzy alright?" Hades asked as he patted the pups and looked at kit worriedly he should warn aziraphale but how did he find him?

Aziraphale nodded a bit that was a frightening thought indeed as he stood
"a baby angel and a baby demon are not to be triffled with, be careful" Lottie said she packed up some of the cookies and gave them to aziraphale with a hug
"don't be a stranger! Next time bring the husband we can double date" Lottie said sitting on the arm of Olga's chair and smiling
"I'll keep that in mind, thank you for everything ladies" aziraphale said
-
Juliet did she went to the fridge and got the ketchup while preforming a tiny miracle of her own the dino nuggets turned into ice cubes frozen to the tray
"is that cool enough?" Juliet asked him looking at the tray
A glow came over Kit as he rested and he was now a full grown man and looking exactly how he had before. He sat up as Dezzy whined and stretched. "Oh my stars, where am I what fresh Hell is this?" He frowned.

Will smiled, "Oh and I think that Jane said she needed to see you about something." Will made his way out to the car.
-
Crowley looked over, "This time it was ice not a meteor that killed the dinosaur."
"ice age!" Juliet said giggling as she looked up at crowley happily "did I do good? They're cool now!"
Actually they were back where they started but she was so proud of herself for helping
-
"oh we will call her as soon as we get a moment away from these babes" Lottie assured him happily
-
Dezzy barked and chased her tail as Hades reappeared unable to find aziraphale but he did notice his husband had returned to normal
"feeling more yourself my love?'
"Mmm was I not?" He got out of the bed and went to Hades and pressed kisses all over Hades' mouth. "Mmm minty, and-" he frowned. "Did you have ice cream?"
-
Crowley chuckled and unmiracled them back. "Yes dear they were very, lovely dino-cicles."
-
Will waved and drove with Aziraphale, "Right we got the ingredients."
Juliet picked one up and nommed it happily as she sat there but she did hear barking from her room and looked on curious
"puppy?"
-
"you don't remember?" Hades asked him curious but he couldn't help but smile "my dear you nearly took our the other universe Gabriel because 'the Boogeyman was protecting you" Hades teased him leaning in and kissing his cheek

"until Raphael murders us for turning her sister into a cherub" aziraphale said Raphael was surprisingly intimidating even if she was an alternate crowley.

"afraid not you fainted first," Hades said brushing Kit's curls from his face "you enjoyed your lavender ice cream though."

Juliet giggled at dezzy and stole her feet away before she took her plate
"thank you crow!" She said before shoveling a forkful of Mac n cheese in her mouth and nomming it happily
"Terrifying I have heard from the angels down here and what I saw during armageddon." Will pulled into the spot.
-
"Wait you suffered through ice cream for me, why?" Kit frowned thoughtfully. "What happened?"
-
"You are most welcome my dear," Crowley pressed a kiss to Juliet's forehead.
Aziraphale nodded a little bit before he let out a sigh and got out of the car at least this would be over soon though he knew crowley was probably enjoying having a little child to take care of again, especially getting to know how Juliet was when she was little.

Juliet began playing with her dino nuggets on the table the the T rex chasing and trying to eat the stegasaurus, the stegasaurus swiped his tail though and the trex was thrown away as juliet let out a tiny ‘aaaahhhh’ and flipped the nugget a few times between her fingers before she chomped his head off happily

“Mac n cheese with Dino nuggies!” Jules said happily she hopped down from her seat and hurried over jumping up to hug Will and Aziraphale quickly “There’s some for you too!” she told him giggling excitedly as Aziraphale chuckled
“That sounds lovely my dear,” Aziraphale told her he looked over at the table and noticed that the dino nuggets had begun walking around the table as if they were alive again and a minor snap of his fingers had them returned to normal before Jules could see what she’d done.
“Well then we’ll have lunch and then we need to get to work on a special project for you.” Aziraphale said chuckling
_
Hades chuckled a little bit “That sounds like a wonderful idea,” Hades said to him suddenly forgetting why he’d miracled them here in the first place as he wrapped his arms around Kit and pressed another kiss to Kit’s nose and then his lips
“I’m so happy to have you back my love,” Hades told him
Will sat down eating a few nuggets and Mac and cheese not particularly hungry for them. He had a very unusual diet as it was. “I think I will prep some of the things for the project.” Will smiled.
Crowley looked to Aziraphale. “Maybe the project can wait?” He was enjoying Jules as a child.
The door opened and Michael grinned. “Where is the little jewel of heaven? There she is!” He hunched down and held his arms out for her.
"Mikey!!" Juliet slid out of her chair and ran to him hugging him tight and giggling like mad "we got dino nuggies" she told him happily
Aziraphale looked at crowley
"my love we do have to change her back eventually." Aziraphale said he knew crowley was having fun but...she did have to get back to her life
Mikey’s face lit up excitedly gasping, “Dino nuggies? Awesome!” He scooped her up and tossed her in the air catching her. “How is the Jewel?”
Crowley smiled, “oh look Mikey is here, guess project will have to wait.”

-
Kit tasted it then made a face, “mint! Mama makes me wash with mint soap!” He chuckled. “Keeps the rats away.”
-
Crowley smiled handing her the spoon. “I hope not because those Dinos will be very lonely in our tummies.” He kissed her cheek holding her to stir the pasta.
Aziraphale took the book excitedly as he grinned down at the cover, reading the letter on the inside his heart swelled with happiness and his eyes filled with joyful tears it was such an honor and-Well what could he say really? words couldn’t describe what he was feeling and how happy he was.
“Will...I -I don’t....This is....” Aziraphale wiped his eyes and smiled at him as he held the book close to himself “thank you, I’m sorry I don’t know what else to say but the gesture truly deserves much more than that.” He told him Lottie smiled “Aww Will that’s very sweet,” she had read the message over aziraphale’s shoulder
-
Hades smiled at him “Mint is good for many things, ice cream is the preferable form at the moment.” Hades told him as he took the last few bites of his and tossed it in the trash can as Dezzy curled up at his feet enjoying the sun
-
“Don’t be lonely dinos your cheesy friends are on the way!” Juliet shouted towards the oven as she started to stir in all the ingredients in the pot she started humming some random tune she made up on the spot as she mixed it around and watched as it happily formed the gooey childish treat that she loved
Will smiled, “I really hope you enjoyed it. “Titania certainly did when I found her.” He explained the odd meeting then looked to the two women. “Do you think something may have gone amiss?”
-
Kit nodded and held up his cup at the trash getting it in. “We should go back before dey wurwee.” Kit nodded again as if affirming this. “Did you enjoy your tweat?” He asked Dezzy who’s tail flopped happily before she licked Kit’s face. Kit giggled patting Dezzy. “She so warm!” He looked up at Hades. “Dank oo boogeyman! Dis is da best day evah!”
-
Crowley took a moment to look away his heart was swelling too much this was too good and pure! “I don’t think anyone could be lonely with you Jules! Not even Dino nuggies.”
Lottie thought for a long moment trying to think of the few times she had met the queen
"doesn't sound like her to just run off without saying goodbye, fae are very particular about being polite like that" she said thoughtfully Titania had been known to disappear from time to time from what she knew but not when she was already in the middle of disappearing
-
Hades smiled and took her leash leading them off back to the apartment again
"don't tell Jules about the ice cream, no need to make the little cherub jealous after all
-
Juliet smiled happily at crowley
"i think it's done" she told him poking at the planet shaped macaroni with the spoon before she pulled a tiny piece off the spoon and popped it in her mouth happily
"yum!"
Will finished his tea and biscuit.
-
Gabriel rounded a corner and froze at seeing Hades, not Aziraphale but by God he looked like him and was that a puppy? And a... he could sense the darkness in the child but it was almost grey. A child demon? He didn’t like that.
Tiny Kit stopped and tugged on Hades’ hand. “Look.” He pointed to Gabriel.
-
Crowley pulled out the Dino nuggets. “And they need to cool down before lunch.”
"awww" Juliet said sadly as she looked at the dino nuggets and then the Mac and cheese "crow can we get ketchup too?" Juliet asked him hopeful and idea in her tiny cherubic head
-
"maybe go back and see if ye can find a spell or anything that could sense ill intent?" Lottie asked when no one said anything else on the matter
-
Hades looked up and remember the angel-gone-demon from the apocalypse, instantly he pulled kit behind him protectively as dezzy crouched down and let out a low growl
"and what might you be doing here again? Lucifer didn't taint you enough last time?"
“Of course, ketchup makes everything tasty.” He opened the door for the fridge. “Can you grab it?” He asked. “I’ve got you.”
-
“That might work, but first we need to get this tiny buisness taken care of. Lord knows what a tiny demon and a tiny angel could create! Together their imagination could rival perhaps even Crowley’s.”
-
Kit peered behind Hades’ leg glaring up at the bad angel.
“I was just coming to apologize to Aziraphale.” Gabriel held up his hands innocently. He leaned down and smiled at Kit. “Hi there tiny demon.”
Kit moved from behind Hades. “I’m no afwaid if you!” He stood strong and took Hades’ hand.
“Aww isn’t that sweet,” Gabriel sneered.
“Because I have a Boogeyman!” Kit glared at him harder before the ground under Gabriel began cracking and the sounds of evil spirits filled the air.
Gabriel backed away clearly horrified.
Kit looked up at Hades and giggled before passing out.
Hades couldn't help but laugh until kit fainted and Hades caught him quickly gathering the little demon into his arms
"you should let that be a warning to you, from what I've heard your universe is soft compared to ours, perhaps you should stay there next time" Hades told him he didn't trust him for a moment he didn't trust most angels unless he knew them well enough or didn't consider them a threat like Juliet or aziraphale but this one was trouble and had proved it last time.
With that said he took hold of dezzy and teleport them all back to Juliet's place and put kit in her bed tucking her in
"keep an eye on him dezzy alright?" Hades asked as he patted the pups and looked at kit worriedly he should warn aziraphale but how did he find him?
-
Aziraphale nodded a bit that was a frightening thought indeed as he stood
"a baby angel and a baby demon are not to be triffled with, be careful" Lottie said she packed up some of the cookies and gave them to aziraphale with a hug
"don't be a stranger! Next time bring the husband we can double date" Lottie said sitting on the arm of Olga's chair and smiling
"I'll keep that in mind, thank you for everything ladies" aziraphale said
-
Juliet did she went to the fridge and got the ketchup while preforming a tiny miracle of her own the dino nuggets turned into ice cubes frozen to the tray
"is that cool enough?" Juliet asked him looking at the tray
A glow came over Kit as he rested and he was now a full grown man and looking exactly how he had before. He sat up as Dezzy whined and stretched. "Oh my stars, where am I what fresh Hell is this?" He frowned.
-
Will smiled, "Oh and I think that Jane said she needed to see you about something." Will made his way out to the car.
-
Crowley looked over, "This time it was ice not a meteor that killed the dinosaur."
"ice age!" Juliet said giggling as she looked up at crowley happily "did I do good? They're cool now!"
Actually they were back where they started but she was so proud of herself for helping
-
"oh we will call her as soon as we get a moment away from these babes" Lottie assured him happily
-
Dezzy barked and chased her tail as Hades reappeared unable to find aziraphale but he did notice his husband had returned to normal
"feeling more yourself my love?'
"Mmm was I not?" He got out of the bed and went to Hades and pressed kisses all over Hades' mouth. "Mmm minty, and-" he frowned. "Did you have ice cream?"
-
Crowley chuckled and unmiracled them back. "Yes dear they were very, lovely dino-cicles."
-
Will waved and drove with Aziraphale, "Right we got the ingredients."
Juliet picked one up and nommed it happily as she sat there but she did hear barking from her room and looked on curious
"puppy?"
-
"you don't remember?" Hades asked him curious but he couldn't help but smile "my dear you nearly took our the other universe Gabriel because 'the Boogeyman was protecting you" Hades teased him leaning in and kissing his cheek
-
"now will they work is a very different question" aziraphale said to him thoughtfully they were meant to work on humans hopefully a bigger dose would work but....what if it didn't?
Dezzy hopped up licking Juliet's feet.
Crowley chuckled and sat Juliet down dishing up the food for her. "There you are, chicken nuggies Mac n cheese ala Crowley."
-
No I came to bring her assignment and after that all is blank," he shook his head. "Aww I didn't kill the rat bastard?"
-
Will shrugged, "we can always try other options." He smiled. "Or congratulations on your little sister-in-law."
"until Raphael murders us for turning her sister into a cherub" aziraphale said Raphael was surprisingly intimidating even if she was an alternate crowley.
-
"afraid not you fainted first," Hades said brushing Kit's curls from his face "you enjoyed your lavender ice cream though."
-
Juliet giggled at dezzy and stole her feet away before she took her plate
"thank you crow!" She said before shoveling a forkful of Mac n cheese in her mouth and nomming it happily
"Terrifying I have heard from the angels down here and what I saw during armageddon." Will pulled into the spot.
-
"Wait you suffered through ice cream for me, why?" Kit frowned thoughtfully. "What happened?"
-
"You are most welcome my dear," Crowley pressed a kiss to Juliet's forehead.
Aziraphale nodded a little bit before he let out a sigh and got out of the car at least this would be over soon though he knew crowley was probably enjoying having a little child to take care of again, especially getting to know how Juliet was when she was little.
_
Juliet began playing with her dino nuggets on the table the the T rex chasing and trying to eat the stegasaurus, the stegasaurus swiped his tail though and the trex was thrown away as juliet let out a tiny ‘aaaahhhh’ and flipped the nugget a few times between her fingers before she chomped his head off happily
_
Hades didn’t want to tell Kit that his little self had told him about his abuse, that should be something he wanted to talk about when he was ready “You wanted to tag along with me and it was hot, all kids like ice cream right?” Hades asked him wrapping his arms around his love and holding him close
“Besides you’ve always had me wrapped around those little fingers of yours and you know it.” Hades told him smiling
Will entered holding the door for Aziraphale and smiled at the sight of Juliet and Crowley. “Aww smells yummy. What did you two make?”
-
“And you have me all to you. You know I would follow you to the ends of the earth darling.” Kit gently pressed his forehead to Hades’ he looked down at Dezzy scooping her up. “Now then darling why don’t we go home? I’m sure the events of the day have worn you out.” Kit smiled. “Besides I need to make up for you being so sweet and me not remembering anything.” He booped Hades’ nose affectionately.
“Mac n cheese with Dino nuggies!” Jules said happily she hopped down from her seat and hurried over jumping up to hug Will and Aziraphale quickly “There’s some for you too!” she told him giggling excitedly as Aziraphale chuckled
“That sounds lovely my dear,” Aziraphale told her he looked over at the table and noticed that the dino nuggets had begun walking around the table as if they were alive again and a minor snap of his fingers had them returned to normal before Jules could see what she’d done.
“Well then we’ll have lunch and then we need to get to work on a special project for you.” Aziraphale said chuckling
_
Hades chuckled a little bit “That sounds like a wonderful idea,” Hades said to him suddenly forgetting why he’d miracled them here in the first place as he wrapped his arms around Kit and pressed another kiss to Kit’s nose and then his lips
“I’m so happy to have you back my love,” Hades told him
Will sat down eating a few nuggets and Mac and cheese not particularly hungry for them. He had a very unusual diet as it was. “I think I will prep some of the things for the project.” Will smiled.
Crowley looked to Aziraphale. “Maybe the project can wait?” He was enjoying Jules as a child.
The door opened and Michael grinned. “Where is the little jewel of heaven? There she is!” He hunched down and held his arms out for her.
ineffable bureaucracy
gabriel x beelzebub
If I never knew you (au)
Hades rubbed his temples in frustration as he sat in a car waiting for Drake, he should be in his office he should be going over numbers and scaring minor demons but no. He got the Short straw on who was picking Drake up from his celebratory drinking games after having killed another minor angel.
Seriously it wasn't that hard he didn't need to throw a party every damn time who did he think he was?! Hades finally gave up and got out of the car going for a walk, he had tried phoning Drake several times and was done waiting he needed some air.
Hades scowled at Gabriel with his insults and his references as he looked away
"is it fair to assume you know?" Hades asked 'and just so you know Drake is being dealt with, for everything that happened to today" Hades said to him as he took a seat sitting beside kit and taking his hand under the table
Kit took Hades’ hand greatfully. They were the only outdoor seating, which gave them an odd sense of privacy.
“Kit would you be a dear and go pick out a bottle of wine from the rack in there.”
Kit moved to speak-
“Thank you Kit.” Gabriel said his face clearly showing that Kit needed to leave.
Kit got up squeezing Hades’ hand before letting go. He went inside.
Gabriel looked to Hades, “You really don’t expect us to fight for him with an army? The days of that discreetly happening are gone old boy.” He sipped the Scotch in hand. “Already his decision is faultering, his love for you isn’t.”
Kit looked at the servers and realized the restaurant was not full of humans. They were all Angels. His breathing grew panicky.
“We are taking him home and you won’t stop us. You know it is what’s best for him.” Gabriel said a smile on his face. “We take care of our own, even when they faulter.”
"take him to heaven the way he is and he will die, it will be like an angel in hell before they fall" Hades told him bluntly
"the only way for a demon to become an angel is if an angel gives up their grace ans even then only the purest angels can do that. He chose to come to me, I was trying to save him from Drake that's all falling was a happy accident that happened along the way"
“Happy for who? You?” Gabriel asked. “You know damn well as I that if you give him back his soul he can be freely accepted back to Heaven. Forgiveness is infinite for one such as he.”
Kit could hear them all telling him they forgave him, to come home. He turned the way to where Hades and Gabriel was blocked. “Hades!” He tried but knew he wouldn’t be heard.
“You would condemn him.” Gabriel asked Hades.
"he asked me to take it, he saved me from Drake ans handed me his soul freely i never even asked him for it" Hades told him he stood up and went into his shirt pocket pulling out a small leather pouch, Persephone had once given it to him long ago he held it out to gabriel
"take it, but before anything ask him what he wants." Hades told him he loved kit but they would never get a moment's peace of he didn't trust that kit would return to him
Kit tried to move through the other angels, “Hades!” He dodged some of them as he made his way back to where Hades was. He burst through the door being held back by several angels. “Hades!”
Gabriel stood up, taking the pouch and opening it seeing Kit’s soul and holding it.
Kit looked from it to Hades, “I chose you.” He said brokenly.
“And he chose you too.” Gabriel looked to Kit. “He chose for you to be who you really are.” He took the soul and put it into Kit’s body. “You are absolved of any sins you have committed.”
Kit was bathed in holy light as his wings and halo returned. “But I-I.” He was let go by his brethren and fell to his knees. “But I chose Hades.”
“My dear you cannot sell your soul to someone you just met.” Gabriel said softly. “He chose your eternal happiness over his own.” He held out the pouch to Hades. “But you won’t remember him long.”
“What!?” Kit looked up he stood. He went to Hades. “Drag me to Hell. Feed me the Pomegranate take my soul I don’t want to forget you. I don’t want Heaven-“
Gabriel took Kit by the shoulders, “Have care Kit you were just forgiven. It is not done lightly.”
Kit looked to Hades, “you said you would fight for me.”

Hades had only just gotten back to Drake's place when his phone rang and he was pleasantly surprised to hear Kit's voice
"calling so soon, that's a brave move even to apologise" Hades said smiling
“Wasn’t entirely my idea, I was going to let this breathe like one does a fine bottle of wine but it seems my friend is rather bolder than I am.” Kit said softly. “I-I don’t know where to go from here.” He wasn’t really versed in the ways of romancing anyone anymore the last time had been Oscar Wilde and that was well over a hundred years ago. Even then he hadn’t really initiated. “I suppose if you’d let me make it up to you I could miracle an opening at The Swan? I’m certain a table wouldn’t be hard to book?” He closed his eyes and found himself praying.
"depends are we leaving the toys at home?" Hades teased suggestively as he took a seat in a chair and smiled
"or should I bring something too?" He added with a chuckle "love you nearly pulled a knife on me I have a right to a bit of suggestive teasing right?" He asked
“Oh of course,” Kit said he was nervous. “So is that a yes? Or shall I be dining alone?” His heart skipped beats as he waited the answer his stomach in knots and butterflies.
"I'm not one to leave a gent wanting so yes say seven?" Hades asked him smiling if he showed up that was Hades was nervous that he would chicken out
"promise you'll be there?"
“Seven, and don’t worry I will be there Darling.” He hung up and sat back on the bench for a moment before going to Juliet. “If I’m not seen by tomorrow morning. Know that it was Hades,” he handed her the phone. “But it’s a date, at The Swan.” Kit beamed. “I do hope this goes well.”
After making a reservation he spent the better part of the day deciding what to wear and getting ready. The Swan was an excellent establishment and a three Michelin Star rate at that. One didn’t arrive in anything less than a suit. He sat at their table already having gotten the wine list and was perusing it over.
Hades got ready for the date, getting a lovely rose for kit as well as a cupcake from his favorite bakery. Upon arriving be grinned and set them down before kit brushing his hand over the man's shoulder as he took his seat
"a sweet for the sweet and a rose that needs an angel to teach it true beauty" Hades said to him happily he made sure to sit on the opposite side of the table, he didn't want kit to think he was up to anything and get spooked again in the plus side he seemed more freaked out that he was a prince of hell rather than anything else so there was hope
Kit looked up from the wine selection, he carefully took up the rose taking the butter knife and shortening it to stick in his lapel. “Thank you.” He spied the cupcake and felt a blush creep into his face. “I didn’t think of a gift I should have. When one is before royalty one should always have a gift.” He gave it some thought then in perfect prose he told his poem of long ago:
“It lies not in our power to love or hate,
For will in us is overruled by fate.
When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,
We wish that one should love, the other win;
And one especially do we affect
Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:
The reason no man knows; let it suffice
What we behold is censured by our eyes.
Where both deliberate, the love is slight:
Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?” He finished. “I know it may be a bit on the nose but I don’t think it hurts to entertain the mood?” Kit hadn’t been so bold in years. Hades had somehow brought this part out of him he had lost in death.
Hades already knew that if they weren't on a restaurant full of people they would be attached by the mouth right now he cleared his throat suddenly very dry as he smiled
"well we are full of surprised aren't we?" Hades asked with a chuckle hell he was perfect wasn't he?
“I try to be,” Kit said softly as the waiter came up.
“Have you selected a wine?”
Kit swallowed and looked to Hades, “I suppose something to parch the thirst. This rosè looks divine, I think I’ll take a glass.” He held out the menu for Hades to look upon for his wine.
Hades looked to the waiter
"just the bottle? I'm sure my lovely friend and I can handle it on our own" Hades said handing the list back to the waiter
"I trust your taste, you look like a wine man if I've seen one" Hades said as he leaned on the table a bit "so what do you do when you're not blessing strangers?"
“I do find myself quite the connoisseur,” Kit smiled. “I have an 1852 red back home. Haven’t found an occasion to pop it open.” He leaned forward as well, “I run errands. Between here and the upstairs and the upstairs and the in between. Gabriel, is my boss. I act as messenger when not called upon for acts of mercy and healing. You mentioned you were and accountant that must be exciting given that it is Hell, can’t imagine the level of numbers to crunch.” He offered a smile as the wine was poured for them. He held out his glass to Hades’. Before sipping. “Oh that is marvelous and perfect for starting one’s appetite.”
“Shall I go over the menu?”
Hades rolled his eyes
"not particularly, I find assignments for the demons going topside mostly their occupation ans names so I can budget them better, it's not as hard as you think when you've had a few hundred years of practice you know" Hades said shrugging he managed to keep his own dirty mind at Bay when kit mentioned the menu and instead took one himself to look over
"I've heard they have fantastic soup here, I think I might start with their butternut squash soup and go to their pistachio chicken"
"Oh I love Butternut squash, they have a fantastic salmon in pesto." Kit said perusing the menu. "Although their Steak Au Poivre, is delicious." He smiled up over the menu at Hades. "I doubt there is anything that wouldn't satisfy one's appetite."
Hades quirked a brow at him and smiled
"love if I didn't know any better I'd say you're not as innocent of an angel as I've been lead to believe" Hades said to him glancing down at the menu again
"F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: "I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again." Kit smiled as he came to a decision on what he would eat. Closing his menu. There was a gentle smile on his face. "I've not been innocent in a long, long time I am out of practice." He admitted. "I am sorry if I have caused any deception."
"only with how flustered you got at coffee earlier yes" Hades told him wondering if he was meaning to be as suggestive as he sounded it almost made Hades want to suggest dinner to go and see what happened from there but he wanted to be good, romance was important he didn't just want this to be a one time thing
"Which again I am sorry," Kit offered a winning smile. "I will take the Pork Shoulder Braciola with Ragù." It was the special.
Fettuccine Alfredo with a side salad," Hades decided handing off the menu to the waiter before he took a sip of his wine ans smiled at kit
"it's nothing to be sorry for, just a pleasant surprise. When you've dealt with some of the sticks in the mud that heaven has you are delightfully surprised when you come across someone like you"
Kit smiled, "And here I thought Hell bent on destruction. You are certainly far lovelier than Drake and even far better company than any other demon I have spoken with. For that I am honored." He sipped his wine reaching for the bread basket and holding it out to Hades. "How do you spend your spare time?" He asked.
Hades chuckled a bit
"there are many of us better than Drake, he's a psychotic bastard we try to keep him take but it never works, I'd be careful if he find out you're an angel he actually might leave Adrienne alone to go after you and that will throw off everyone's balance" Hades told him he wouldn't dare tell Drake about this Drake was an idiot but an idiot with power
Drake had been looking for Hades and stopped when he saw the man with the younger man. There was something about him. He made Hades happy. Well Drake wasn't certain he liked that. He began turning the wheela in his head.
-
Kit smiled as the food was brought, "Oh it looks fantastic, absolutely delicious." Though not the most delicious thing at the table. He dug into the meal quite hungry. He closed his eyes and leaned back a delightful hum. He meant it both earnestly as he was enjoying the food but was perhaps giving Hades a taste of something else. "Oh that is exquisite." He cut up a bite and held it out for Hades. "Would you like a taste?" He asked. "I doubt you have tasted such divinity in quite a while." He raised a brow suggestively.
Hades chuckled a bit watching him he was a beautiful creature wasn't he? Hades could get used to this he took Kit's hand with the fork and took the bite from him
"you know I'm getting some peculiar signals from you, would I be to bold in assuming that I could walk you home after this?" Hades asked him pressing a small kiss to Kit's knuckles again before releasing his hand he was hardly focused on his food
"You may," Kit said. He had an apartment that he used for his cover when he was on missions. He finished more of his food but was already aware his appetite had changed. "I can never finish a meal," Kit chuckled like the darling thing he was and proceeded to pull out his wallet then the card. "My treat darling, as I'm certain you will treat me soon enough?" The card had a simple cloud design and clearly was a Heaven sourced thing. He signed away the bill leaving a generous tip and a blessing. He stood taking the cupale and placing it his to go bag. "You hardly touched your food," there was concern on his face. "Are you feeling well?"
"perfectly fine dear," Hades said to him smiling "just have much lovelier things on my mind" Hades said taking his left overs with him he followed kit to the door and felt the chill of the night air taking his coat off on instinct and putting it on Kit's shoulder he was tempted to leave his arm around him but resisted not wanting to be eager or put pressure on him some how
Kit smiled up at Hades and pressed a gentle peck to his cheek, "So very dear of you thank you." He walked down the steps only to stop as a car came racing through the red light. There was a jogger. The car and Kit saw it all his hand raised up, "Look out!" He watched the car swerve in such a say thst could only mean he had used some divine influence.
Drake smiled, "bingo." He called the demon in the car. "We found one."
Kit looked to Hades, "i-Ai'm sorry that-I couldn't stand by. Thank God no one was hurt." He beamed up that sweet smile. "Where were we?"
Hades glared at the car suspicious before he looked at kit
"it's fine dear you were just doing your job, let's get you home shall we?" He asked glancing to where the car had disappeared again and standing a little closer to kit to protect him if his hunch was right things were going to become very unbalanced
Kit nodded, and walked beside him offering his hand to be held. "I agree tonight has been quite wonderful." Behind him the jogger had disappeared as though he had not existed. "So?" He looked up at Hades. "How do you see tonight going?" He asked as they neared his apartment. One could tell it was his by all the plants everywhere. Hanging from the balcony and likely more inside.
Hades glared over his shoulder noting the jogger but his mind drew a blank as kit took his hand and stating into those beautiful eyes he forgot the rest of the world around him
"that depends on how you see the night going," Hades said taking a daring step closer to the bard and reaching out to play with one of his lovely curls
Kit leaned into the touch as he came closer his lips parting before he stood up and pressed a kiss to Hades' mouth. He pulled back for a moment, "Is this do you want this too?" His green eyes searching Hades' face.
Hades didn't answer he simply pressed his lips into kits and buried his hands in his hair, the kiss was as beautiful and sweet as kit was and Hades could definitely get used to this feeling of walking on air again
Kit lead him back to the aapartment. Unlocking the door revealed a plethora of plants. "This is where I stay." He smiled still giddy from the kisses. He took the leftovers to the kitchen. Setting Hades coat on a rack. He was awkward but trying his best. "Would you like to join me?" He held out a hand his head gesturing back to the bedroom.
"would you be comfortable if I did?" Hades asked he had to remind him innocent or not that kit was an angel, demons would go for just about anything but angels....well he hadn't been an angel in a very long time.
Kit walked up to him taking Hades' face in his hands, "I do I really do." His phone went off and Kit's eyes closed and he pulled out his phone. "Gabriel." He looked down for a moment more then turned off the phone and tossed it away, "I know a name I'd rather be uttering." He reached back up and kissed Hades deeply. His hand going to the tie at his neck. "Come lay with me and be my love." It was a play on the first line of his poem.
Hades smiled and pressed another kiss to Kit's lips
"love I think that's important and as much as it literally pains me to say this, I think you should answer it." Hades said burying his face in Kit's shoulder
"best case scenario it's nothing to worry about and we can go about our evening worst case we out it off and get to have another fabulous date night just like tonight with the impending knowledge of how much we want each other" he emphasized his point by nipping lightly at Kit's neck before pulling away and smiling
Kit looked slightly crestfallen. He turned back on the phone and turned from Hades. He listened to the message Gabriel was giving him a warning that demonic activity had been noticed in his area.
Kit looked up at Hades, "It's nothing." He turned off the phone again. "Where were we?" He reached up gently cupping Hades' chin with a gentleness.
Hades waited taking the opportunity to sit himself on the bed and loosen his tie a bit when kit cane back he smiled at him
"see? Don't you feel better now" he asked wrapping his arms around Kit's neck
Kit's wings and halo shone in the moments of ecstasy. So when the lay there they were wrapped in his wings and he cuddled into Hades' arms. "So I've now had a taste of Hell and I don't think I could ever want any other taste." Kit murmured softly to Hades his wings and halo disappearing. He sat up tracing a finger over the various hickeys forming on Hades' chest. "I definetly want another taste." He gave a smile.
Hades stole a few moments to feel Kit's feathers gently and to kiss his wings before they vanished he hadn't felt such warmth since being in heaven itself
"good because you've reminded me what heaven is" Hades said caressing Kit's cheek as he looked lovingly into his eyes
"and as long as I'm in your arms I think I'll continue to Know it"
"Then I beg of you dear Prince never leave my arms and I wilk not forsake yours." He pressed kisses to Hades' chest up to his mouth before snuggling back into Hades' arms.
Hades held him close and soon drifted to sleep only to be woken by the sound od his phone he answered it only to avoid waking kit and listened to the message about an emergency meeting in hell and he groaned looking down at the angel in his arms why would the fates curse him like this?
Gabriel tried the door to the apartment having knocked a few times, "Kit?" He called cane ready to turn into a weapon he spied the clothes shrewn about and sighed going to the bedroom door. "I honestly hate to intrude but you didn't respond. I'm just checking in." Gabriel peeked in seeing Kit who now sat up in bed sheets covering himself.
"Gabriel!" Kit blinked. "Wha-ahhh-what are you doing here?"
"You didn't answer the phone, you didn't text me to tell me you received my message." Gabriel could see some movement in the closet's direction. "But if you must insist on fucking the monster in your closet. Then keep it to yourself." He had scooped up the tie that belonged to Hades opened the closet door and handed it to him. "Won't you come out? It is so terribly cramped for one of your possition."
Showdown || multi
Gabriel stood seething his sword swinging but not at anyone in particular. He was fallen and in this state he was unpredictable. His eyes fell once more on Aziraphale. "I'm going to kill you! I will use you for an example!"
Crowley sbowed up and felt himself grow angry at the sight looking to Aziraphale he ran up. "Hullo Aziraphale and everyone, don't know if you noticed the apocalypse has been averted."
"Then let's teach this dirty devil some manners." Gabriel the Good said.
"I took on Lucifer this should be a piece of cake," Mikey said with a grin.
Will and Jane pointed their guns at Gabriel. "Nobody talks to our friends like that and lives."
"dear you don't have a weapon" aziraphale said this time he didn't even have a tire iron, aziraphale at least had gotten his flaming sword
"please Crowley be careful!" At the same moment he raised his sword in an attempt to dodge Gabriel
"I bought a soul, saved a man from Hell, traveled through time, oh and I helped stop the apocalypse so there is that. A lack of armament is really the lowest on that list." He couldn't bring himself to say who's soul. He felt a tap on his shoulder and looked to Mikey who had summoned a spare weapon for him.
"Here, it is just a sword but it should work." Mikey said before standing defensively.
"Thank you?" Crowley was still surprised when people showed him any kindness. Even in this universe." He stood holding the sword.
Kit brought up vines of flowers that had wicked looking thorns. "Ready love?" He asked Hades.
"died fighting for a baby angel....this is going to be a hell of a day" hades said arming himself with his sword and fire burning over him zadkiel also at the ready and Raphael stood at the front of the fray she could sense another like her in the new comer, he was the other her and that would bring up some interesting conversation
"I'm giving you one shot" she told the Gabriel of the other world he was fallen and there was no saving him now his Michael had long since passed out in the side lines and Raphael was thankful for that she didn't want to argue with her the entire time
"drop your weapons and let us save you or face us and fall further to hell's depths"
“I WILL NOT REST TILL I HAVE SKINNED THAT SNAKE AND CRUSHED THAT IDIOTIC LITTLE FAT ANGEL TO A PULP!” With that Gabriel charged into the fray swinging chaotically and dangerously. Hell had changed him and for the worse.
Crowley met the blade along with other’s keeping Gabriel away. “Angel if we don’t do something he won’t let us speak to each other again, on the account that we will be ciscorporated. “Now.” He saw Beezelbub and Hastur moving from the ranks of others at them. “YOU! YOU! TWO How in the Hell did you four get here because that is how you are getting back and taking that.” He pointed at Gabriel with the sword. “Back with you!”
Gabriel saw Crowley and leapt, only for vines to grab him pulling him back.
“Ah, ah, ahhh, that is not very nice.” Kit told him chidingly. “Crowley is a friend.”
Gabriel snarled and writhed cutting himself free and advancing again on the group of Angels.
Raphael stood in a fighting stance ready to trigger the daggers when she could Juliet was behind them and she was determined that this psycho wasn't getting near her
"Juliet go home," Raphael warned her Juliet frowned
"I'm not going to-"
"listen to your sister and go" Uriel told her throwing her shield at evil Gabriel in an attempt to knock him back
Hades was busy drawing on the ground in charcoal (since there was plenty of it with the way the city was right now) working as quickly as possible as he muttered the incantation to himself as quickly as he could
Crowley walked up, feeling a need to protect Jules as much as possible. "Oi! You, you want me then come get me!" He stretched out his arms and hissed his snake tongue at the cursed Angel. "Come on you git!"
Gabriel charged slicing and missing my only a hair.
Will fired his gun aiming for Gabriel's hand making him drop his sword.
Crowley snatched it up dodging Gabriel's lunge. "Hey Buffy-the-demon-slayer catch!" He tossed it to Mikey.
Mikey caught it with a grin.
Gabriel raged even more and summoned another sword swinging at Juliet.
Crowley felt his heart stop, well if he had one. There was no miracling this.
Mikey caught the sword
Juliet put her arms up defensively only to feel the hood of a blade form between her hands, the large pink and purple blade formed out of a glowing energy that radiated off the little angel and blocked Gabriel's blade as it scrawled with butterfly images Juliet was taken completely by surprise pressing her weight into it like Ely had taught her and throwing him backwards just as Hades got the portal open
Aziraphale stood between Crowley and Gabriel protectively as he swung his blade at the same time Juliet did the blades clashing together creating Sparks of energy before both angels threw their weight into the attack and checked the ex angel through the portal
Gabriel gently shook Michael's shoulder. "Excuse me my dear but you don't want to sleep through your only way home." He helped her up and to the portal, "have a safe trip and for the sake of the Almighty stay there."

Raphael didn’t have the time to enjoy having her sister back as Gabriel appeared from the depths of hell she looked at Juliet sternly “Stay here,” “But-” “Stay.” Raphael said in a tone that left no room for argument “Protect the witness, Shakespeare stay with her.” Raphael said pointing to Juliet before she hurried to Aziraphale’s side already taking a fighting stance Uriel quickly following as a round shield appeared on her arm resembling Captain america’s. Aziraphale felt fear grip him as he looked over up at what had once been his Gabriel, the demon he had become was frightening and all of this…because of him? Because he had chased his husband to another world and then decided to stay because they were welcome here? This was truly all his fault. He should have trusted Crowley to come home and waited.
"You know what I don't like?" Michael of that world said as a trident appeared in hand. "Lying little punkass demons. Who blame others for their fall. Lucifer was the same way. You fell because of yourself, your actions, and you nearly dragged down another of us!" He pointed the trident at Gabriel. "Now you blame another for your villainous misdeeds. Truly you have fallen that you couldn't see that he would have saved thee and tried to save thee."
"Indeed oldchap, he's innocent of your claim and your words have no weight here," the Gabriel of this world spoke. "Begone while you still can."

“At least I helped to save one,” Aziraphale said sadly as he took the hug that Will offered, Gabriel had been an abusive prick in this world but he was still a big part of Aziraphale’s life….if he could have helped him it would have made all the difference in his and Crowley’s world.
Michael smiled a small smile and took his hand “It’s a little harder here, it seems all we know where we are from is entirely different morals than here and that little step towards darkness tends to lead to a lot more to come.” She was just glad she’d come to her senses before it swallowed her though she doubted it would be so easy to repair the damage to herself
“You really pull out the cavalry when it comes to saving your own forces don’t you?” Aziraphale asked as Zadkiel came over with a smile “Yes but even so this was a special case,” Zadkiel said as he looked over to Juliet “Juliet is the closest to a baby angel heaven ever had, more of the Almighty’s experimenting, Raphael adopted her as her baby sister she’s been pretty much raised by the arch angels so this one struck a particular chord.” Zadkiel explained as Adrienne turned to him
“Juliet is Raphael’s sister?” Adrienne asked and Zadkiel nodded “Yeah, you’d never know seeing how much time she spent with Chamuel, think that has a lot to do with it.” Zadkiel said before moving to say hi to Juliet himself
Juliet hugged Mikey tightly and swatted his hands away “So how come you guys never thought it would be a good idea to emphasize that you two are Michael and Gabriel the all powerful arch angels?” Juliet asked quirking a brow at them
“I think that is putting it on a bit thick, all powerful?”
“I’m pretty powerful!” Mickey flexed his muscles for laughter.
Chamuel laughed, “you think that’s good you should see what he can do with a melon.” He made a squishing motion. He walked over to Juliet. “My, my you really have grown either that or I’m getting shorter.” He motioned the height difference.
“We regard ourselves as family,” Gabriel said before spying Aziraphale. “Ahhh so you are the famous Aziraphale, yes, yes, I have heard quite a lot about you. We really should talk sometime, what do you say to breakfast, I know a charming little place, best crepes you can get. Oh and bring your demon husband too, it will be delightful.” He pulled out a buisness card handing it to Aziraphale.

Gabriel was horrified the trip down to Hell was worse than he could have imagined his suit was ruined! Ruined! Worst of all his wings! They were tarnished. The chains... the chains were moving again and he was stuck to a wall.
Lucifer walked up to him, “oh look we have company.”
Gabriel needed no introduction. “No! No stay back!”
“Aww welcome to Hell.” Lucifer said before shoving Gabriel into the lava returning his gaze back to Drac who now sat catatonic like on the throne of Hell holding Honey to himself.
-
Chamuel took a step and the ground shook. “That wasn’t me.”
The ground shook again. Then with a terrible sound the earth gave way as the fallen Archangel rose above. His skin was covered in a thick layer of dark ash and lava still etched into his skin burning. The chains had wrapped around him broken links flowing. His eyes were completely black. He pointed to Aziraphale. “You! You did this!” He started for Aziraphale. “For that I will get you.”
“Then you will have to get through us Darling.” The umbrella had become a sword like the master sword of Legend of Zelda in Gabriel of this universes hand. “Go on I’ve been meaning to get a crack with this weapon.

Juliet hurried to her sisters side and Raphael hugged her tightly softening in an instant, she held Juliet only until the other Gabriel was gone she was so pure and sweet she didn’t need to watch such things. Once it was over she released her sister and looked at the shackles around Juliet’s wrists
“I thought you said you could handle it here?” Raphael asked her Juliet rolled her eyes “I can, just not when angels from a parallel universe claim to be Michael and Gabriel and kidnap me trying to save my” Juliet said to her Raphael shook her head as she tried to figure out how to get the cuffs off
Michael of the other world looked up at the counter part and with no other choice took the hand offered to her, part of her feathers already beginning to turn white again as she allowed him to help her to her feet battered and injured as it was she knew she couldn’t take more if she tried.
Aziraphale had tried to go but Adrienne held him as Will did and Aziraphale could only watch as Gabriel was claimed his eyes welling with tears as he shut his eyes tightly now wishing that he hadn’t sent his demon away Uriel looked at him and offered a small smile “You did what you could, we’re grateful for all you’ve done for our world.” Uriel told him and Aziraphale nodded a bit but said nothing
“Dreadful, simply dreadful.” Gabriel said looking at the spot still boiling. Then turned to Juliet. “How are you dear?” He asked holding out his arms to have a hug. “Let’s see, I’m sure I have a pin somewhere.” He pulled out a lock pick and after quite the jimmy-rig Jules was free.
Mikey walked up and hugged Jules giving her head a rub. Then he walked over to the other Michael sizing her up before offering her his hand. “Glad you made a good choice.”
Will looked to Aziraphale with sorrow, “I’m so sorry Aziraphale,” he walked to the angel. “I know you looked up to him.” He held out his arms for the man offering comfort.
