    Summary

    A very Aziraphale-centric tv-canon series focussing on themes of guilt, trauma, and what it means to navigate those things in the context of a relationship. Not all stories are necessarily in strict continuity with each other. I havn't been posting in chronological order either.

    Summary

    I'm still silently crying. It's hard to breathe and I can't talk yet either. Sometimes I think about Earth, and my students, and my old life, and my lack of choice in losing it too much and it all kind of…erupts and then I can't stop crying. So now I'm curled up in the pilot's seat, hugging myself and zoning out as the tears continue to run down my face.

    Summary

    One unexpected benefit of Rocky's new xenonite suit is the discovery that Grace's panic is often soothed by Rocky's weight on his chest. It's come in handy during many nightmares and Rocky is ecstatic to have a new way to help. During Grace's latest nightmare, Rocky goes to put weight on his back to soothe him. It doesn't work. It really, really doesn't work.

    Summary

    The notes blur together and you can't make sense of anything but how loud they are, all the words you've learned meaningless. You could go grab your laptop, but that would mean moving from the comfortable little ball you've curled yourself into, so that's not happening. Rocky lets out a piercing trill when all you do is stare blankly at him - that, you recognise. He's worried. When you flinch at the sound, he rolls closer.

     

    Grace gets overstimulated. Rocky tries to help. It works out better than either of them expects.
