    Summary

    This time, Scar's smile visibly twists, turns into something bitter that Grian hasn't seen in his face before.

    "It's okay, Grian," he says. "I'm comfortable here, you don't need to do this." Grian blinks, confused.

    "I—do what?" Scar raises an eyebrow at him and tucks a strand of hair behind his pointed ear.

    "You're being nice," Scar says, discarding a blue fabric. Grian privately agrees, it's gaudy. "And it's sweet, really, but I'm okay."

    "Scar, that's not—" Grian shakes his head. "That's ridiculous! I'm not just being nice!"

    Scar looks up at him from where he's folded on the floor, grasping at velvet, and he suddenly looks very small and very tired.

    "Sure," he says, and the tone makes Grian bristle, despite himself.

    "Scar," he says, trying to keep calm. "Why would I do that? When have I ever been nice to anyone just for the sake of it? You're my friend—scratch that, you're our friend!" Scar huffs a little laugh and Grian watches him, helpless. "I—where is this coming from, man?"

    (Or, Grian and Scar deal with some of the fallout from Last Life.)

    Summary

    As their lunch stretches on Aziraphale slowly comes to realize that Crowley is—enjoying him. Enjoying Aziraphale’s conversation, and company, far more openly than he has in most of Aziraphale’s memory. And Aziraphale knows that he himself is just chattering on, letting conversational tangents carry him along, and—it’s definitely relief, for him, knowing for the first time in a long time that they aren’t being watched, that no one is keeping score for now.

    -
    Aziraphale realizes that Crowley's been saying something rather loudly for a week.

    ---

    For two ineffable husbands, they don't really touch each other much. Here is a story on why that might be.

    Summary

    There's a cottage by the sea where the children like to go. Sometimes it's for ice cream, sometimes it's for a listening ear, sometimes when something goes disastrously wrong.
