Today's featured fic is "Push(ing) Down on Me" by @raiining

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

“This is bullshit,” Crowley growls, throwing his folder down. It bursts open, scattering grim black-and-white crime scene photos across the boardroom table. Eighteen months of detective work. Solid detective work. His detective work. “This is my case. I don’t care who they fucking are, they can’t — ”

“They’re Interpol,” Detective Chief Inspector Beelzebub says grimly. “So yes, they can.”

Crowley glares. “That international fucking organization can’t do shit. I don’t work for them.”

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?

“We’re not friends,” Crowley growls. He hears the angel suck in a breath and thinks, with some mean part of himself, good. “You said that we’re not. You don’t have to do this. I’ll be fine.”

GODS YES. 25 fucking years and it still chills me.

for the uninitiated, for the preceding seasons it had started with a tolkien fucking level spiel about how in a postwar period the Babylon Project was a place for free exchange and peaceful resolution of conflict - rather like the UN, except also the wild wild west of space.

Push(ing) Down on Me by raiining

Crowley scowls. “Here in London?”

Fell nods. “We have the address.”

“And you want me to arrest him today so you can take his place tomorrow?”

Fell blinks.

Gabriel barks out a laugh. “You told me he was quick.”

Fell glances at him. “I did.” He looks back to Crowley. “Yes, that’s exactly what I want to do.”

Yesssssss
