Aziraphale was nervous. Not just nervous, actually, but anxious. Really, incredibly anxious. But, well, that was rather the whole point of it all. He was thirty minutes early to his 11 o’clock appointment and was pacing up and down the street. His head was pounding from built-up tension and his hands were fidgeting uncontrollably. He had his first therapy session today, and thoughts were racing through his head at supersonic speed. What if, unlike at the doctor’s, there was no waiting room? What if, if there was, it was weird that he sat there for an entire half an hour before his appointment? Would other people be waiting? Would they think him strange for being that early? But they couldn’t even possibly know that he was early if they were being called away for their own appointments, could they? He hoped the therapist was nice. She had sounded nice when they had talked on the phone. What if she was faking it, though? It was just her job, after all. Maybe Aziraphale was overestimating his need for help. Maybe he was taking up one of their precious spots while someone else needed it more than him. What if he was being selfish?

We encourage readers to engage with the fic as well. Comments are always appreciated, and we hope to foster a greater sense of interaction in the community.
Here are some ideas if you don't know where to begin:
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!
