Charting a Course - Chapter 4

Written by me for the Summer Omens Big Bang (@gosummerbang). Art by the fabulous @skullfragments.

Here you go, another chapter of the same two idiots (slightly altered) falling in love. 😄

Warning: The chapter count is about to go up. I had to split a few more chapters in edit because they simply got too long. But you won't have to wait longer for this story to finish posting. I decided to just post two chapters for those cases. So next week, you'll get just one, but the following two weeks you'll get two chapters each Monday.

I still have a bit left to edit and at least the second to last chapter is already pretty long (pre-edit), so this might very well happen again.

Updates every Monday!

Summary:

Anthony Crowley is a uni dropout turned barista who’s worked at the same café for 15 years and has lived with his friend Ana and her little family ever since his relationship to Luca Morningstar ended. He’s decided dating is not for him because (nearly) all men are wankers who aren’t interested in anything beyond the physical. Aziraphale Fell is an accountant who’s lived in the same building as Ana for the past five years and has been a regular at the café ever since. Aside from an ill-advised relationship with Gabriel Messenger, he has been single for a while.

Crowley and Aziraphale are both interested in each other and very much convinced that the other has no interest in them. Ana has been trying to gently push Crowley to ask Aziraphale out and been dropping hints for both of them, but nothing is working. Then Ana hears Aziraphale is going on a singles' cruise, and since Crowley has a birthday coming up, she’s making plans…

Summary of chapter 4:

Crowley comes upon Aziraphale in another predicament the next morning at breakfast, and a mutually beneficial arrangement is made.

Excerpt:

Aziraphale hadn’t seen him yet. Couldn’t. He was peering into the dining area, slightly crouched and obviously hiding behind some strategically placed potted plants — which were in desperate need of more sunlight, slowly starving as they were. It looked like the plants weren’t the only ones in need of help. Crowley walked over and stopped right behind him. Narrowing his eyes — hell, the dining area was bright, even his sunglasses didn’t help much with the glare — he glanced around the fluffy head to see what Aziraphale was looking at. At a table close by sat Mr Unremarkable, the same bloke who had tried to woo Aziraphale with pictures of rocks and terrible tales of war the night before. And he was sitting so that he would see everyone coming in from the buffet, looking as if he were waiting for someone. The tray he’d had with him last night was lying forebodingly next to his plate. Well, it looked like he might just get to save Aziraphale a second time. Wasn’t that a pleasant turn of events — well, maybe not so much for Aziraphale. “Good morning, Aziraphale,” Crowley said quietly. “Heavens!” Aziraphale twitched, his tray slid precariously in his hands. Crowley couldn’t entirely hide his amusement, a half-suppressed grin still made his way onto his face as he reached out with one hand to help steady the tray. When Aziraphale turned to regard him, there was a reproachful frown on his face — but also something else, a glimmer in his eyes, the skin at the corners faintly crinkled. ‘Interesting.’ Crowley stored that information away for later. Aziraphale pursed his lips. “Mrs Device was right, you really are a menace, aren’t you?” Crowley snorted and his grin grew into a full version, stretching wide over his cheeks. “Guilty as charged, I’m afraid. So…” he drawled, “how long do you plan to hide out here?” “Oh, is it that obvious?” Aziraphale sighed, looking chagrined. “Well, that would certainly explain some of the looks I’ve been getting.”

Can we take the time to pour one out for the angel Muriel, who deserved SO much better?

They began their story as a wide-eyed innocent. Trampled on and forgotten by their superiors, literally at the bottom of the heavenly hierarchy, but SO eager to do the best they could at the role that was assigned to them.

Their innocence sometimes shows as ignorance (not knowing anything about how the human world works, not knowing how to lie or deceive).

But they are so earnest in their intentions that it's hard not to like them. Even Crowley seems fond of them, despite their seeming lack of intelligence.

I wanted to see Muriel come into their own in GO3.

I felt like they were set up for a character arc of discovery--that, assigned to guard Aziraphale's bookshop in his absence, Muriel would have the opportunity to truly connect with humanity on a personal level, learn about the nuances and shades of gray inherent to life on earth. Things that they could never know if, like many angels, they were forever trapped in the sterile white landscape of heaven forever.

But no. Instead the finale made jokes at Muriel's expense, called them stupid and dense, and then killed them without a resolution to their journey.

We don't even get to see them running Aziraphale's bookshop, because apparently Aziraphale immediately recalls them to work with him in heaven??

It's a small detail in a sea of bad writing choices. But it feels indicative to me of a problem that PERVADES GO3: not only does it fail to deliver a satisfying payoff to most or all of the plot threads set up in S2, it actively backtracks on many of them. Writes them out of existence with barely a word.

(The erasure of Nina and Maggie also come to mind here. They made a meaningful impact on Crowley and Aziraphale's lives, however brief their role in it was, so it's extremely odd to have them written out with no explanation from the characters.)

So when I say GO3 feels like bad fanfic, THIS is the kind of shit I'm talking about. It's badly written because the character arcs that S2 set in motion are never followed through...in favor of completely new, unrelated plot threads such as the gangster subplot.

It's not just about whether i liked the ending (for the record, I didn't). The problems with the writing are pervasive through the finale, start to finish. A happy, soft ending could have saved it. It could have made me forgive its other faults. But we didn't get that either.

So let's remember Muriel for a moment. A kind, happy, sweet angel doing their best. They deserved the chance to break free of heaven's influence and discover who they really are, what they really want to be.

But they never got to find out.

You must see this exceptional 1902 Victorian farmhouse in Portland, OR. 6bds, 4ba, 3857sqft, $2.375m.

It starts out with a nice, homey, living room.

Next, there's this pretty green dining area. Look at the border around the floor.

Beautiful fireplace in the kitchen.

The kitchen is so pretty. Love the colors and cabinetry.

But, look at this- it's open to a wonderful sunroom.

So pretty.

And, there's a matching pantry.

Nice large half bath with lovely cabinets.

Stairs to the 2nd floor.

Isn't this lovely? Shelving, a sitting nook, and a fireplace.

This bedroom. Look at the built-ins.

Even the smaller room has gorgeous built-ins.

There's a cozy family room up here, too.

How sweet is the updated bath?

And, there's a large bedroom, with some built-ins, in the attic.

Next to the main house, there's this cute house.

What a lovely home.

There's an art studio, too.

What an adorable bedroom.

And, the bathroom has everything. This is the first floor apt.

There's another one upstairs.

This is beautiful, too.

Lovely bedroom.

And, a very nice bath.

The gardens are so gorgeous.
