*Minor Spoilers* Ooooh how I wish this was canon. This short story answers why Crowley stayed living in his car rather than stay at the bookshop. The first half of the story we get to play a truly fun game of drunken poker. It had me giggling, especially at our miracled player Elmo. The dialogue could be taken from the series itself, it was effortless to read it in their voices. The last half? Well you'll just have to find out about that yourself. It had my heart racing. I desperately want the AU version of this where Crowley makes a different choice. Short and fun, it's safe in public but a bit steamy.
