    The title is a well known, if mysterious, Australian saying

    Summary

    Crowley owns a busy surf school somewhere in Australia and doesn’t have time for boring things like “filing papers” and “doing taxes.” He longs for the open water, the wind in his hair and a board under his feet. Luckily, his coworker Ana has a fresh-off-the-boat English friend who just happens to have a way with numbers — and a confusingly erotic obsession with the perfect cup of tea.

     

    Soon a tidal wave of attraction is unleashed, stirring up an office romance that’s hotter, wetter, and steamier than a freshly dunked Twinings tea bag.

    ***

    A gift fic for paperclip_ninja, who expressed a fondness for tea and surfing and probably didn't expect it to be interpreted like this.

    Absolutely outrageously silly fic set in an Australian surf club. Rated E, for egregious.

    Now, if only the man can stop being so charming and utterly besotted with his pet, this will be a lot easier.

    Coles and Woolies are the two major supermarket chains in Australia. Their advertisements are inescapable, and almost every Australian will have shopped there.

    Coles and Woolies are fierce competitors, and are commercially at war with each other. Behind the scenes though, they have been accused of collaboration and price-fixing. They are superficially different (different colour schemes, logos etc) but are actually pretty much identical in their tactics, approach, and business models. They are both known for squeezing ordinary humans, especially supplier farmers, until they are almost bankrupt.

    Their frontline staff, on the other hand, are generally nice average Aussies just trying to do their best in an oppressive work system.

    People tend to be loyal either to Woolies or Coles, mainly because they set up loyalty programs (points for purchases) that promise rewards at some point in the future.

     

    How this all relates to the Good Omens Heaven and Hell is hard to say 😉

    Summary

    English transplant Aziraphale is adjusting well to his new life in Australia — thanks in no small part to his gorgeous, tea-loving, surf instructor boyfriend Crowley. With Christmas just around the corner, Aziraphale realises celebrating the holidays Down Under means giving up some of his favourite traditions, including snow. Meanwhile, Crowley is searching for the perfect gift for Aziraphale. A catchy advert for an indoor ski resort soon has their snowboards sliding, tea bags steaming, and jingle bells ringing!
    Who’s up for a holiday cup of tea??
