Summary: The year is 1911. Anthony J. Crowley (Royal Navy surgeon, passionate zoologist, and official photographer of the Northern Party) is preparing to go into heat, all by his lonesome on a remote beach in East Antarctica.
Everything changes when he catches an odd scent in the air.

This story can be enjoyed on its own, but you’ll probably have more fun if you read I have my ways of knowing first ;)
Excerpt: “Good morrow, ô méga,” the surfaced stranger said, resting their arms on that frozen raft like it was the edge of a warm bathing pool back in England. “My name is Aziraphale.”
Crowley just stared, dumbfounded.
What kind of person introduced themself without stating their pronouns as well?
What kind of person pronounced the word ‘omega’ with such an odd inflection?
What kind of person even said ‘good morrow’ in this day and age?
The kind of person who could swim naked in the Antarctic Ocean without so much as a shiver, by the looks of it.
“Hello? Are you there?”
“Huh?” Crowley breathed, snapping out of his startled state. “I mean, um, hello… my name’s Crowley, and I’m a he.”
“Oh,” the person in the water said with a curious eyebrow. “I am a he as well, I suppose.”
The alpha in the water, Crowley corrected himself, having just caught a better whiff of his pheromones thanks to a conveniently timed gust of ocean breeze. His scent was…
Not just salty, but briny.
Not just syrupy, but treacly.
Not just savoury, but gamey.
Well, he should have figured it out from the way the strange man had referred to him as ‘omega’, but he’d been too distracted by everything else to really dwell on that part.
“Pleased to make your acquaintance, Crowley.”
“Um… the pleasure’s all mine— Aziraphale, was it?”
“Indeed,” the alpha smiled politely, revealing teeth that were more than a bit too sharp. Read the rest here on ao3 *** xenanigans passed away on 28/04/26
