After A Long Courtship

Bookshop owner, skilled in the art of prestidigitation, retired supreme archangel, dancer, newspaperman, and partner of a rather lovely demon (angel)

Angel! Why are the humans acting so weird? Well… weirder than normal. You won’t believe what happened when I was feeding the ducks this afternoon.

I think we need an incredibly alcoholic breakfast at the Ritz.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

My dear boy, I do so appreciate our brunch outing this morning. The crepes in particular were scrummy! However, next time I’d caution against treating the Ritz as a karaoke club. While I understand that you have a fondness for the song the pianist played, the other patrons did not seem to appreciate your vocal prowess.

Though I must admit, you were quite adorable.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Unfortunately, I have already failed to keep up with my New Year resolution. It’s not that I mind, but Crowley refuses to stop telling me how ridiculous resolutions are.

This, from the demon who invented the entire business of resolutions.

@anthonyjcrowleyfell - I ran into this lovely pair while on my evening walk. They reminded me of someone, though I can’t seem to recall who. If anyone can solve this puzzle, it would be you, my dear boy.

[anthonyjcrowleyfell]

I don’t think I know them, but the one in the left has a fantastic sense of style. The other does seem vaguely familiar…

Wait… is that a hand-drawn mustache? AND a cape? Please, for Someone’s sake, tell me you aren’t trying to teach someone your magic tricks, angel. I’m actually begging you…

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

While I am no longer performing on the West End, you know I do dabble in some sleight of hand on occasion.

But rest assured, my dear, I am keeping the trade secrets I have learned hidden under lock and key! This was only a coincidental meeting of two beings who seem to enjoy the art of prestidigitation.

Angel! Let everyone know about our arrangement so you can’t conveniently forget about it when you think I’m being ridiculous.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

You’re being silly, my dear.

[anthonyjcrowleyfell]

Ngk….

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Use your words, my dear. There is nothing for readers to contextualize with this poster.

Can I make the announcement, or would you prefer to?

[anthonyjcrowleyfell]

It’s post angel, not poster. I’m surprised you can even figure out how all this works.

Announcement is a bit dramatic, but by all means, announce away.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

This is why Nina calls you the grumpy one, my dear.

As for our announcement, we are now the proud parents of a small, but mighty, felis catus. She attached herself to Crowley, followed him home and, as humans say, the rest is history!

[anthonyjcrowleyfell]

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

I wish all of you a hopeful new year. May 2025 be more tolerable than you imagine it will be.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

did your special demon lover get you anything nice for christmas?

Hello, my dear fellow. We always encourage asking questions!

My lovely Crowley gifted me an early, rare palm leaf edition of Kamasutra in Sanskrit on December 25. He’s always so very thoughtful.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas.

[anthonyjcrowleyfell]

Angel, you do realize it isn’t Jesus’s actual birthday, don’t you?

We were there!

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Yes, I do know that, my dear.

But the humans celebrate on December 25, and we do want to blend in. The happiness itself is reason to celebrate.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Last night, Crowley and I went for a long drive to observe how the humans decorated their homes and shops for Christmas.

Presently, my beautiful demon is baking cookies. I’m assisting with the decoration. Though I enjoy consuming food, my culinary skills are lacking.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

I do so adore how my demon drapes across my torso and legs, making the sweetest noises as he conducts his sleeping ritual.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Today I kissed Crowley.

It wasn’t our first kiss (of course), but something exciting happened while our lips and arms were entangled.

I felt his tongue move past my lips, and suddenly our tongues met. It was very wet.

I do believe it was quite intentional based on my wiley serpent’s reaction.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Muriel and Crowley went on an outing today, leaving me to enjoy some tea and a good book.

It appears that they had a splendid time. Muriel was smiling and Crowley wasn’t grumpy when they returned.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Crowley spent all of yesterday trying to make me trick or treat. I quickly determined that selecting the treat option was far more satisfying, though I did on occasion choose trick because it made him so happy.

[aziraphalecrowley-fell]

Last evening, my dear Crowley took me to the cinema to watch a moving picture. It astounds me how, for one and one half hours, you can be transported into a beautifully written story about those you do not know and yet feel a strong bond with one or more of the characters.
