    Summary

    Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?

    ---

    It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.

    He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.

    Summary

    Candles. Mistletoe. An entire frozen lake. Festive memories from their past together keep appearing out of nowhere.

    Crowley's sure he's manifesting them accidentally out of sheer romantic desperation. It's bad enough trying to hide his unrequited love as they grow closer post-Apocaloops - what if Aziraphale sees the objects for what they are, a window into his yearning soul? Unfortunately, the only way to banish the objects seems to be talking about each memory...

    Meanwhile, Aziraphale is just trying to woo his demon boyfriend with big gestures, ready to prove his devotion. And if Crowley acts awkward about the miracles? Surely that's just his difficulty accepting affection. The solution: shower him with as much of it as possible...

    Eventually these two will communicate, even if it takes 'til the end of the year. For now there will be cuddling, excuses for closeness, sappy words, flashbacks, nostalgia, bickering, and an obscene variety of holiday foods. Oh, and footnotes. That's right. We're doing those too.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The entire story is...well, I can't choose from all the adjectives that leap to mind: wonderful, magnificent, satisfying, charming, funny, delightful, soft, warm, hilarious, glorious, masterfully written, clever, witty, heart-warming....

    It's like sleeping peacefully and dreaming of everything you like best.

    And I dare you - I dare you to get through Chapter 13 without weeping. No cheating! You have to read all of it, in order, to fully appreciate the gift you're being given. Try to be worthy.

    Summary

    “ ‘Oh, that’s interesting. For us, it’s always the eyes you can’t change. Everything else is fair game, as they say, but I says, ‘what’s the use of a game that’s fair if you want to win it?’’

    Crowley stares at the strange woman in Warlock’s room.”

    Summary

    They should have discussed it more.

    Wasn’t that what humans did? Spend weeks and months talking about what sort of home they want, what sort of life, dreaming of what moving in together will be like. Making sure their dreams matched up, their expectations.

    They didn’t buy cottages – in the middle of a forest, no less, half a mile from the nearest village – without considering questions of…of hobbies, and use of space and…and living arrangements. They certainly didn’t take such a step without…defining their relationships.

    Aziraphale only begins to consider the implications of *moving in together* after they've already done it.
