It is the happiest of times for Aziraphale: After years of hard work, he finally gets casted for his first major leading role in an elite theatre production. If only he didn't have to work with Crowley, a notorious West End star, as famous for his arrogance as he is for his magnetic stage presence. (And for looking unfairly good in those indecently tight jeans.) This nuisance of a man is constantly trying to challenge Aziraphale with his snarky remarks - and a fierce quarrel between the two most cantankerous actors ensues.

*Minor Spoilers* This time, we join our pair on the stage! Aziraphale and Crowley are preparing for a new production of Hamlet, and about two seconds from all out war. Well, Aziraphale is ready for war anyway. After their disastrous first meeting, Aziraphale decides he hates his co-star, and it's about to be everyone's problem if they can't get their act together.

This is just tons of fun. I loved the voice of this story, it's witty and cheeky, and I just flew through it smiling the whole time. Their chemistry is undeniable to everyone except Aziraphale. The poor dear is so repressed from his feelings, and tamps down every rational thought when it comes to Crowley. He's such a bitch in this, and I loved it! It's clear to us what's going on, how Aziraphale's anxieties and insecurities are blocking him, but his absolute refusal to see that makes the entire thing so satisfying to watch.

You'll probably be fine in public with this, but we do get a very enjoyable steamy moment behind the curtains towards the end so be prepared.
