“WOAH, WOAH, WOAH— What do you think you’re doing?!”

“Err— pulling weeds?”

Harry gasped, affronted. “This is hallowed ground. We planted seeds of love here— do you even care?!”

“Harry—”

“Everything that grows here is natural— sacred. Not to be desecrated by… humanistic aesthetics!”

Summary: 

Cut off from access to Earth, the hosts of Hell find other ways to torment Crowley. Aziraphale provides a refuge.

Why We Love It: 

A story that sticks to canon, in this Book Omens fic Aziraphale and Crowley don’t live in each other’s pockets, and Aziraphale is actually rather snippy and somewhat protective of his private space. But when Crowley starts having a problem with Hell, Aziraphale immediately steps up to help him. 

With funny, clever dialogue, we’re treated to multiple scenes of how Hell is slowly driving Crowley mad, until the final, crucial scene where it seems all is lost. In the end, our angel and demon pair have to admit that they’re better off together than apart.  Obviously.

Summary:

“Good morning, Mr. Munson, is Eddie home? Um, that’s a stupid question, of course he’s home.” Steve chuckles nervously. Steve. That’s Steve at Eddie’s door. “Is he awake?” “He’s awake, son, but I gotta warn you, he’s in a pissy mood today,” Wayne’s gruff voice replies. “Wayne!” Eddie protests loudly. “Just telling it like it is,” Wayne throws over his shoulder. “You still wanna come in?” He asks Steve. “If that's okay, Mr. Munson.” God, he’s so polite. Eddie hates that he finds it endearing. “Please call me Wayne, son.” Eddie doesn’t even get a chance to try and make himself look somewhat decent. Right away, there’s the sound of the door closing and then Wayne walks back into the living space with Steve in tow, looking perfectly put together in his neat polo shirt and blue jeans. Eddie is still in his fucking pajamas, for fuck’s sake. or 5 times Steve visits Eddie and lies about why + 1 time Eddie catches him in the lie

"I'll write it down." Margaret announces, she takes the shopping list off the fridge and talks as she writes. "Spruce pine. Full leaves. At least six foot five, no more than six foot seven." Head lifting, eyes cold as she glares at them both. "And straight." The not like you hangs in the air. Taking the paper that she's holding out, Buck tucks it into his pocket. "Well, I'm sure we'll find the straightest tree we can." Eddie grins sharply. "Full of pride," he adds, eyes sparkling. Buck falls a little bit more in love with him and he doesn't know how to cope with it because he hadn't even realised he is in love with Eddie until five minutes ago. *** Buck goes to Hershey for his parents' Christmas party. Eddie, naturally, follows.

Day 15: Silk

@kingdonmicrofic

Frank swallows, and the thick lump in his throat crash lands in his stomach. Before him stands Melissa King, golden hair down and dressed only in a delicate, cream colored silk slip. In the warm, low light of her bedroom, the fabric’s luminous shine makes her glow in turn. Yet, were it not for the wine colored blush that spreads from her cheeks all the way down to her chest, it’s nearly impossible for Frank to distinguish where the garment ends and her soft skin begins. Best of all, it hugs her figure in all the right places and is thin enough to reveal the stiff peaks of her tempting nipples. 

“I know it’s not much…” Mel mumbles, biting her lip, refusing to look Frank in the eye. She fidgets with the thin strap that can’t seem to find purchase on her shoulder. 

If Frank weren’t so taken by how absolutely breathtaking she looks, he would scold her. How can she not see how truly beautiful she is? Is it not apparent in his face? In the way he pushes her golden strands behind her ear? In the way he gently takes her chin between his forefinger and thumb and directs her gaze towards his own? 

“It’s perfect, Mel. You’re perfect,” he says, unwavering. 

Mel’s eyes widen, dark pupils overtaking hazel.

“Do you mean it?” she asks, trepidation apparent in the way her voice wavers. 

Frank doesn’t answer with words. Instead, he gently guides Mel’s lips towards his own and kisses her. He pours every bit of his unspoken love into it—cupping her face and rubbing comforting circles into her flushed cheeks. 

And when Frank feels her hands take hold of his wrists and hears a high-pitched whimper, he knows she finally understands.
