    Summary

    But here, now, was my chance. I was not the young master to Jeeves now - in fact, Jeeves, in his current role, had no y. m. at all. He was a gentleman of means and breeding, and I a rather fantastically attired birdcatcher of presumably Viennese extraction; and two such fellows could hold a conversation without any wayward “sirs” inserting themselves where they were not wanted.

     

    Or: In which a gentleman and his valet both attend a masquerade under false pretences.

    Summary

    "...but I can't say 'you're controlling and smothering and I need to never see you again if I'm ever going to grow a spine,'" Eddie said, avoiding Richie's eyes. "So I just skipped ahead to the part where I told her I was gay."

    Richie, who had been using one large and one small french fry to stage a dramatic reenactment of the dissolution of Eddie's marriage, froze.

    Summary

    You wouldn’t think that there’s a lot of time for inner reflection when you’re bleeding out, but there is. In fact, there’s little else to do after you’ve given up on holding your own insides inside but tell yourself that if you live, you’ll actually live this time and that the echoed chanting of “clown, clown, clown, clown” had better not be the last thing you ever hear.

    After narrowly avoiding death, Eddie learns that the hardest promises to keep are the ones you make to yourself. An un-tragedy in three acts.

    Summary

    “Not objecting, just a point of uh, theological interest: is this a temptation? I mean are you tempting me here, or is it…uhm?”

    Aziraphale opened his mouth as if to protest, closed it again, and finally offered: “Well actually now that you mention it I suppose it is. I mean I am, yes. But temptation seems such a loaded word, doesn’t it? I just thought, in for a penny in for a pound – if they’re even watching they already know we’ve been consorting together, so we might as well make the most of it. Consort to our hearts’ content, so to speak.”
