A first-love, queer-awakening, second-chance romance for my friend Apidistra! Set in the USA, so American English in a Midwestern setting.

Story Summary:

Thirty years ago, two sixteen-year-olds boys fell in love at Wisconsin’s Lake Levin Lodge. It was the best summer of their lives until an unexpected twist of fate tore them apart. Life went on, but they always wondered what happened... When award-winning magazine writer Anthony Crowley has the opportunity to return to the lodge on assignment, he takes it, because one look at the resort’s website leaves no doubt in his mind that the owner, Aziraphale Levin, is the boy he met there in 1996. Crowley and Aziraphale soon find that the years haven’t dampened the spark ignited in their youth, and they quickly fan it into a flame. Then a decision is made that threatens their new relationship. The question is, can they find the strength to save it, or will one bad choice ruin everything?

Chapter 2: Watch it now, here he comes is up on AO3!

Chapter Excerpt:

“My grandfather owned the lodge,” Aziraphale begins. “Every summer, children would approach me and, more often than not, it wasn’t because they truly wanted to be my friend. It was because they wanted something from me. Access to the boathouse, free sodas at the bar, a peek at something that was off limits to guests. When I saw you, I wanted you to like me for myself. I wanted you to be my friend.”  Crowley sits quietly, letting Aziraphale say his piece. He watches as the man twists his fingers in his lap, the same sign of anxiety he had all those years ago, and he wants to reach out and take his hands in his own. But he doesn’t. Finally, he nods.  “I didn’t know who you were, angel,” he says softly. “I came up that hill and saw a boy with blond curls who looked like someone I wanted to get to know. And when you smiled at me? I knew I was right.” Crowley pauses, then looks into Aziraphale’s blue eyes, as beautiful now as they were back then, and adds, “And I was your friend. I hope you know that.”

Rating: Overall, E. This chapter, M

CW/TW: violence, arguing, lying, and gaslighting (by Crowley)

Summary:

Ezra Fell is a naturalist; he's even written two books about it. It's what he tells everybody, anyway. He doesn't venture out into nature much. Living on an island and being terrified of the ocean makes travelling difficult. And airship tickets cost a small fortune. When his studies require him to go far afield for the first time, in search of a rare and elusive plant that only grows on the sea floor, he isn't thrilled about it. But he managed to book passage on a ship that unexpectedly carries an old friend, an old lover, a wastrel former diplomat, and a curmudgeonly crew that could use his expertise.

This chapter: Aziraphale is given a choice; Crowley is in the brig, and something strange is going on.

Something stranger than that.

Excerpt:

"What do you know that I don’t?” Ezra asked, watching Crowley’s face with a curious expression. “I’m not an idiot, Anthony. I know there’s something more going on here.” Crowley laughed bitterly and climbed onto the bed. “I know. You’re too clever for your own good.” “You won’t tell me?” Ezra returned to Crowley’s side, joining him on the bed. “It’s a very long story.” “We’ve got nothing but time. Well, less than an hour, I suppose.” Ezra smiled, trying to relieve some of the tension in Crowley’s face. “How about we talk about something else? When was the last time you were in London? There’s a restaurant that serves Italian food not far from the university. They do remarkable things with oysters.”

So, ya know. They aren’t the best at handling stressful situations! Neither one was entirely good or bad. They’re basically average human adults, with perhaps a wee bit more bloodlust if you try to interrupt their good time.

Maybe cut them some slack. Stop pointing fingers and remember all they really wanted was their jobs to get off their dicks, figuratively. Maybe literally.

Heaven is full of weirdos.

How they handle any and all inconveniences:

More chapters and more illustration to come☺️

Like advertised, you're getting two chapters today. This was originally one chapter, but it had already started out a little long and in the edit... well. 😅 I only split this to make it easier to read.

And welcome to Hamburg. ⚓🛳️🏙️ All the places mentioned in these two chapters are real and can be visited and absolutely worth a visit if you're ever in the city. And Franzbrötchen are delicious; just ask my cousin who used to buy a bunch every time she came to visit because they were a very northern Germany thing when we were kids and she couldn't get them where she lived.

Oh, and please send all hate mail meant for Luca directly to hell, thank you. 🤣

Summary:

Anthony Crowley is a uni dropout turned barista who’s worked at the same café for 15 years and has lived with his friend Ana and her little family ever since his relationship to Luca Morningstar ended. He’s decided dating is not for him because (nearly) all men are wankers who aren’t interested in anything beyond the physical. Aziraphale Fell is an accountant who’s lived in the same building as Ana for the past five years and has been a regular at the café ever since. Aside from an ill-advised relationship with Gabriel Messenger, he has been single for a while.

Crowley and Aziraphale are both interested in each other and very much convinced that the other has no interest in them. Ana has been trying to gently push Crowley to ask Aziraphale out and been dropping hints for both of them, but nothing is working. Then Ana hears Aziraphale is going on a singles' cruise, and since Crowley has a birthday coming up, she’s making plans…

Summary of chapters 6 and 7:

Aziraphale and Crowley are visiting Hamburg and enjoying each other's company - and somehow they keep flirting, although there is no one there to watch them...

The afternoon and evening is also spent in Hamburg. When they get back on the ship, neither quite wants to end the day yet...

Excerpt:

“Oh, Anthony, you have to try this,” Aziraphale said, pulling off a piece and holding it out to the other man. “Looks horribly sweet, angel. And sticky.” Anthony’s eyebrows drew together as he stared at the bit of flaky pastry partially covered in deep brown caramelised sugar. “Looks can be deceiving — a fact you should be well aware of,” Aziraphale smirked and demonstratively looked at all the close-cut, black fabric covering Anthony even in this summery weather, “since you insist on dressing like a demon, but are actually as sweet as—” “Oi! Alright.” Anthony held up his hands in defeat, but a lazy smirk spread over his face at the same time. “I’ll try it, no need to destroy my carefully built reputation.” Aziraphale giggled — actually giggled, he couldn’t even remember the last time he’d done that — and Anthony’s smirk grew into a lopsided grin, that made Aziraphale feel unreasonably warm. “And who, pray tell, would know this so-called carefully built reputation of yours here?” Up the man’s chin went, lifting his head up into a certainly deliberately overdone proud expression, a single eyebrow rising high over the rim of his glasses as he pursed his lips. He carelessly crossed his legs at the knees, letting one leisurely dangle over the other as he leaned back in his seat. Somehow, it made his already long legs seem even longer. “Just by looking at me, they all know to steer clear of me. Dangerous demon, me.” “Good Lord,” Aziraphale mumbled, rolling his eyes good-naturedly. He couldn’t speak for other people, but he was afraid that just looking at Anthony had quite the opposite effect on him. However, it wasn’t his appearance, but everything else about him that was truly bewitching. With the piece of pastry still firmly in between is fingers, Aziraphale reached across the table. “Would the menacing monster allow me to yield to him this sweet sacrificial morsel?”

The Truth About Giza

Summary:

Aziraphale came across a curious book. It's only from the 90s and not one he'd usually be on the lookout for, but the author's name caught his interest...

Excerpt:

This book, “The Truth About Giza”, expertly dissected the Orion’s Belt Theory. The theory claimed that the pyramids of Giza were built in alignment with the stars in Orion’s Belt as they had appeared 10,000 BC and were, in fact, that old and built this way to allow for the resurrection of the Pharaoh just like Osiris had been resurrected. ‘Expertly dissecting’ wasn’t quite the correct expression for what this book did, though it did that as well. It treated the theory quite like the Romans treated Carthage. It was quite the brutal massacre. Every argument of the Orion’s Belt Theory was pulled apart, each aspect inspected and then skilfully torn asunder. This professor seemed well-versed not only in archaeology but also in astronomy. And the amount of evidence referenced, calculations shown, and other professional works cited was astounding. It was a bit like a written, archaeological equivalent of that meme (a concept Aziraphale had recently been introduced to by Muriel): “There was a spider, I panicked. But I think it’s gone now.”
