Summary
“He’s in there.” Crowley jerks his head towards the cell door, unenthusiastically.
“Oh,” Aziraphale hesitates, “he?”
Crowley growls into his hands. “They’re killing the lad tomorrow, at least give him that.”
“Oh. I never met him, you see.” Aziraphale carefully lays a hand on Crowley’s knee, just for a moment. “My dear, what has happened?”
“Do you know why they’re executing him?”
“I imagine it’s because he’s an enemy soldier with God on his side, who’s shown them to be fools.”
“Heresy. He wore men’s clothing, you see.”
Long before Armageddon, Crowley and Aziraphale meet outside Jeanne d'Arc's cell. Aziraphale comes to realise something about Crowley and something, maybe, about himself.

Summary
Sherlock is relatively confident that he isn’t a sodomite. That would be simpler. He cannot imagine this creature rising in his gut for any other man. And whatever form it wishes to take, he cannot see it resembling something ordinary. This isn’t about sex. This is about wanting to curl up in the centre of James Moriarty’s life, and live there like a creature.
Or, after the events of series one, Sherlock reckons with his feelings, James' relationship with Beatrice, and what Sherlock really wants from James Moriarty.

Summary
“If you’re a time traveller,” Hopeless asked, “when did you come from?”
Hopeless had moved nearer to Larrikin, who had not really sobered, and was still looking excessively happy with himself for no particular reason.
“I … two thousand and seventeen,” Valkyrie said, and then she looked at Skulduggery, “help me up.”
The skeleton took a moment to move, and then he extended a hand and supported her arms so she could stand. There was an overwhelming lack of familiarity in his behaviour.
“Alright,” Dexter said, “So that’s how you know Skulduggery.”
Valkyrie frowned, “I didn’t expect you to take that so well.”
“Well,” Larrikin said from the floor, where Dexter had dropped him sometime during his laughing fit. “You’re not the first.”
Or, Valkyrie travels back in time and meets the Dead Men. She finds them very different to what she expected.

Summary
“I want – I want to tear my skin off,” Charles says, strangled. “I can’t – anyone looking at me, Crystal acting like it’s not a big deal, fuck – you.”
“Me?” Edwin asks, almost affronted.
“Well, there’s no way you want me anymore, is there?” Charles blurts. Then he looks mortified.
Or, Edwin has known Charles to be transsexual since '89. It is only when Charles is cursed to experience one of his worst fears that they talk about it.

Summary
“It’s angel food cake,” he said. He waited. When Aziraphale did nothing but nod politely: “It’s funny, see, ‘cause-”
“No, no, I get it.” Aziraphale nodded again. “Very funny.”
“Oh, shut up, it is-”
“May I ask what brought this on?”
Crowley paused. “Can’t a guy just want to try baking?”
(Or, Crowley makes Aziraphale food after the world doesn't end. It has absolutely nothing to do with how much he wants to make Aziraphale smile.)

Summary
“Once upon a time,” Brother Francis began, a smile spreading over his features. He looked more enthused and delighted by the forthcoming story than his audience, a four-year-old boy draped over an ever-patient sheepdog. The dog was about as much his nanny as Nanny Ashtoreth, herding the boy around as though he were a flock of one.
“You’re telling it wrong,” Warlock informed him.
Aziraphale blinked, then jerked back in offense. He- Aziraphale, an angel of the Lord, who had been on Earth before the very invention of storytelling- was being told he was telling a story wrong?
The smile he forced onto his face was tight and did little to disguise the vein throbbing in his temple. “Pardon, Master Warlock?”

Summary
Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can!
(He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.)
Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.
