Crowley had retired for the evening, a ritual that Aziraphale was still finding quite difficult to master. He glanced at the grandfather clock that stood in the corner of their sitting room and wiggled a little in his seat – just gone 11pm, plenty of time to get some reading in before dawn.
Only, something was different tonight. Oh, everything else had happened in concordance to their quiet little life in the South Downs. They’d spent the day harmoniously coexisting, their once solo activities now becoming things that they liked to share with each other. They tended their garden, went on long walks, they attempted to cook and/or bake with mostly disastrous results. Sometimes they would receive visitors – Nina and Maggie, or Adam and the Them. Very, very occasionally Anathema and Newt. Then, once the sun had begun to set, Crowley would lay on their sofa with his head in Aziraphale’s lap; the angel would read aloud from one of his many books until the demon became too sleepy. They would kiss goodnight – kissing was something that they just did now – and then Crowley would go to bed for a few hours. Usually be up again by sunrise.

What was your favorite moment? Was there a character, scene, or line that made you laugh? Smile? Cry? Did you connect with the author's style? Love the dialogue? The action?
Short comments are okay too! It's totally fine to just say that you liked the fic, to leave a keysmash of emotion, or even an emoji. Comments are always appreciated!
