Today's featured fic is "Cayuga Blush" by @thetunewillcome

----------------------- Read on ao3 ---------------------

It was not a nice day for a wine tour.  Most days weren’t, in New York State in spring, though that had never stopped the Cayuga Lake Wine Trail from holding their May Flights and Flowers event.  For the first two weekends of the month, groups of wine lovers young and old flooded the wineries along with the inevitable rain.  At each vineyard, they received a tasting flight, a 5% bottle discount, and a potted flower to plant in their garden back home.  Or, in the case of the particularly red-faced patron screaming obscenities in the parking lot in front of them, to rip apart, stomp on, and throw at strangers’ cars.

We encourage readers to engage with the fic as well. Comments are always appreciated, and we hope to foster a greater sense of interaction in the community.

Here are some ideas if you don't know where to begin:

What was your favorite moment? Was there a character, scene, or line that made you laugh? Smile? Cry? Did you connect with the author's style? Love the dialogue? The action?

Of course, dear!

Lies We Try to Live By by asparkofgoodness

With the art of stories, we can rewrite ourselves into the people we should have been or hoped to be. We can protect and we can wound. Our stories are powerful, so we must be careful with them. Speak them out loud, and anyone could hear. Tell them to ourselves too many times, and we may lose ourselves in them.

The morning after The Bastille, Crowley comes to realize how their growing relationship is putting Aziraphale in danger. This story follows them throughout the ages as they wrestle with love and the lies they try to live by to keep each other safe.
