    Summary

    Aziraphale sees sound, words and feelings as colours.

    Crowley sees the world without colour at all – only shades of grey, light, shadow and texture.

    When they meet, they begin, carefully and almost accidentally, to show each other how the world looks from their side.

    A story of perception, translation, and the courage of allowing yourself to be seen in full colour.

    Summary

    Aziraphale will pay the price.
    He lied to Crowley. He lied to the Angels. He lied to God. And now he will pay.
    And he will fall, fall so deep, fall to a place where there is no one to catch him, no one to comfort him. And it is his doing.

    All the while, Heaven is planning the Second Coming. Though Aziraphale doesn't know much, he does know this: Once it happens, Heaven will reign over everything. And that would be a living Hell.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley has known London longer than London has known him. Every cut-through, cab rank, one-way system, theatre crowd, and hidden churchyard.

    That’s the point of the Knowledge: the grueling, multi-part test every London black cab driver has to pass, thousands of streets and landmarks learned so thoroughly the city lives inside one’s head.
    Crowley passed it years ago.

    But when he falls for Aziraphale Fell, a soft-spoken, waistcoat-wearing examiner he has absolutely no excuse to ever encounter, Crowley does the only reasonable thing — he digs out his old birth certificate, registers under a name he hasn’t used in years, and signs up to fail the Knowledge on purpose.

    Just one Appearance, he tells himself. Answer well, withdraw gracefully, ask the man out, done in twenty minutes.

    Naturally, it doesn’t go that way.

    It started with a travelogue and a pleasant day. It went somewhere Crowley never expected.

    Summary

    In the middle of a war-ravaged city, Aziraphale is doing what he can to care for people until, one night, a stranger appears at the door of his medical tent carrying an injured little girl and begging for help.

    The man vanishes almost as quickly as he arrived, leaving Aziraphale with a child who has nowhere to go, an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and far too many questions about the man in black who called him angel.
