The first clue is the cake.

It arrives on Aziraphale’s doorstep on a Friday so by the time he’s thought to phone the delivery company about the mixup . . . well, it would be a shame for the food to go to waste.

It’s chocolate, just the right combination of sweet and rich that tempts even Crowley to take a bite at Aziraphale’s insistence. I’m not going to be able to finish it all by myself, my dear.

Next comes the stationery samples. Little cards in shades of eggshell and pearl that make Crowley’s eyes roll when Aziraphale explains the difference in texture. The shop that sent them are adamant they have the right address and it isn’t until they confirm the names—Aziraphale and Crowley—that Aziraphale thinks to hang up and consider the implications.

He’s still considering when Crowley bursts into the shop, all hips and sneer as he says, “Who the bloody hell hired us a wedding planner?”

“Ah,” Aziraphale says. “Yes. I see now.”

“You see,” Crowley says, throwing himself into a sprawl on Aziraphale’s battered sofa. “Care to fill the class in, Angel?”

“Well.” Aziraphale pauses as he considers how to approach a topic such as this. “Do you remember when Adam started reading Harry Potter?”

Crowley snorts. “Do I. The Bentley still struggles to keep its damn wheels on the ground.”

Aziraphale hums. “Well, I think with dear Anathema and Newton’s nuptials just passed-”

Crowley groans with his whole body, head lolling back on the couch like a maiden with the vapours. “The boy thinks we should get bloody married.”

“Quite.”

Crowley sighs, and miracles them up a bottle of red. “You gonna be the one to break the news then?”

Aziraphale waits to take the proffered glass—fingers brushing Crowley’s familiarly—before he answers. “Well . . .”

“Well?”

“Well, it was rather good cake,” Aziraphale says and Crowley bursts out laughing.

“You don’t want to tell him we’re already married because there might be more sweets in it for you?”

Aziraphale takes a sip from his glass and purses his lips. “You’re right, it’s frightfully deceitful.”

“It’s perfect,” Crowley says, getting off the couch to steal a wine-flavoured kiss. “Let’s see how long it takes them to figure it out.”

Yo @tcfkag, looks like you still got some splaining to do!

The photos are of her house, and I don’t think she’s told anyone yet what’s REALLY up there.

I just went to your page like "I'll figure out which one" but you add stuff to a surprising number of your own posts, lol. Always excellent additions of course.

Aw, thank you :D I think lately I HAVE reblogged a lot of my own, usually to reply to someone...

I presume this was regarding Pumpkin Spice Evans? Poor little anon, not even brave enough to spew his hate with pride. Sad.

scifigrl47 replied to your post “just had to step around your mess of an addition to a post to reblog...”

Nope, I'm betting it was the Good Omens smore post. Because this is some 'newbie in new fandom' nonsense.

I have no real idea which one it was, I was just sort of enjoying fucking with them should they ever return :D I’m willing to bet it was an older post, probably one where I made a joke they didn’t find funny. Though the whole “I had to go to ALL THE TROUBLE of NOT REBLOGGING YOUR  VERSION” does smack of Anon being new to tumblr.

I guess you *could* describe the OP's own additions to a post as unoriginal, if you really wanted...? O_o #siriwhyarepeople

I will say I didn’t find “You suck” to be the height of Wildean wit, but we can’t all practice what we preach, I suppose. 

looshahontas replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”

Which one? I go to the one in Wisconsin

That’s the one! Bristol, unless there’s more than one, which is entirely possible. 

quaidpoppinjack replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”

My friend owns the flower shop at Bristol! I haven’t been there in ages since I moved west of Rockford, but these pics are making me nostalgic.

Oh, we sat outside the flower shop for a bit! 

the-grey-hunt replied to your photo “Farewell Ren Faire!”

did you enjoy the joust? that's always my favorite part of the day

YES! I bought a flag to wave. SUCH fun. 

i-ddpej replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”

ahhh, have fun!! I blue-screened for a few seconds at "first", but I forget sometimes that the average person did not grow up right down the road from a giant Ren.Fest, lol.

I think mainly the issue is that they’re almost always pretty far outside of town or held at a fairground, and tough to get to without a car, so I’ve never really had any way to get to them, or known people who would be interested in going, before. 

aubergeen replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”

this photoset makes it look like you caught whatever's floating in the air in image one on a plate and just tucked in. i was like, why was there a chicken breast flying in the air is that part of the fair or something

LOL! “We arrived at the faire and a chicken breast just came hurtling at me!”

The thing floating in the air is actually a scratch on my camera lens. I named it Bertie. :D 

guineapigwithaflamethrower replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”

I'm sorry, what kind of Ren Faire is this where the food comes on PLATES?!

It was on a stick on a plate, at least! 

3fluffies replied to your photo “SAM’S FIRST REN FAIRE!”

Is that Maryland?! Fantastic faire!

It’s Bristol in Wisconsin, BUT I’m told that the Maryland fair is especially good since jousting is the state sport! 

waititsyu replied to your post “Hi Copperbadge! Are you still making cat food for your babies? If so,...”

just a... friendly reminder that people really shouldn't change their animals diet to homemade without consulting with a vet, and preferably one specialized in it. Cats do need a very specific makeup in their diet (as compared with dogs, that are much more forgiving in that sense), and there are individual variations, etc, that can make the diet that is fine for one, not so fine for another. Not to mention that food transition should always be handled super carefully.

I AM SO FUCKING BAFFLED AND ALSO REALLY UPSET BCS THEY ARE DENYING ME OTP CONTENT BY BEING JERKS?????????????????/

As a dedicated multi-shipper, I find this so mysterious. Like, it's all *imaginary* LITERALLY.

Maybe your posts are just that good. And today on a post about infinity war I officially got excited about in a post about how we're getting Ronin!Hawkeye (or Hawkey!Ronin) for the first time because we're clearly getting it. (It was the post that's going around about how we all want like 80 things from Infinity War but basically none of them involve Thanos, the villain Marvel has been building towards for basically a decade at this point.)

Ronin!Clint is the best thing that could possibly come out of Infinity War, for me, and I am beyond excited to see how they do it.

(And we are getting Ronin, some setpics from earlier this this fall showed Renner walking on the set wearing Ronin shins, so definitely doing that!)

That is SO COOL! I'm super jealous, that's going to be amazing. Where in Germany?

Thank you @when-in-doubt-sing when for tagging me! Here we go!

Are you named after anyone?

No, but Erin was a very popular option for all those parents looking for the perfect “Irish” name in the early ‘80s.

When was the last time you cried?

Probably yesterday? If not, the day before for sure. But, to be fair to me, I just had surgery which doesn’t help....and I seek out sad YouTube videos and stuff because it’s cathartic. The last time I cried because I was genuinely upset was probably Friday, the day before I got out of the hospital because I just wanted to come home.

Do you have kids?

No, we would like to, but with my health being as it is, it hasn’t happened yet. I don’t know if it will.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Lol, yes. I also have the URL “sarcasmfont” on Tumblr but haven’t figured out what to do with it yet (any suggestions?).

What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Smiles and shoes. Or other interesting clothing items, like jackets or purses or scarves, those are always things I notice (not in a bad way - usually in an admiring way).

What’s your eye color?

Hazel.

Scary movie or happy ending?

Happy ending - not much of a fan of scary movies.

Any special talents?

When I founded this blog, it was as a “vicarious shopping” blog because I have a weird skill for shopping and did sort of informal personal shopping for people. Give me an item, a price range, and sizes/colors and I can usually find you SOMETHING you’ll like, if not something you’ll buy. My old Weebly site is still up if you want to know what I mean, lol.

Where were you born?

Providence, Rhode Island. What what.

What are your hobbies?

Marvel movies and comics and I enjoy cosplay, though I’m not very advanced at it. Cooking and meal planning. Hanging out with my dogs. Reading.

Have any pets?

Two beautiful pupsters. Tucker is a 75-pound lab mix and is a giant lover. Abbie is 30-pound weird mix (her four main results on her DNA test were: miniature poodle, dachsund, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and “Generic Terrier” and yet she looks like a hound) and she is the boss of Tucker. She also loves humans more than any dog I know and is great about cuddling with me when I need it most. 

I love them both dearly.

What sports have you or do you play?

I was a competitive swimmer growing up so by eight or nine years old, I had quit every other sport to “focus on my swimming”. I was pretty good as a kid, but then everyone hit puberty and I stayed short. But I loved swimming - I trained 20-30 hours a week in high school and then swam in college. Now I coach part-time, mostly for fun because it’s great being back on deck.

I also played field hockey in high school and ultimate frisbee in college. I suck at sports on land.

How tall are you?

5″3′ (160 cm).

Favourite school subject?

In high school, it would have been history probably. In college, I majored in political science and my favorite classes were on Comparative Politics and Political Theory. In law school, my favorite subject (which I’m going to think of in terms of the generalized first-year courses) was probably Constitutional Law.

Dream job?

I would love to be an attorney at the federal agency I worked at right out of college, that was a great place to work. And it’s work isn’t too impacted by different administrations, which definitely holds a certain appeal. But for now, I really like my current job, it’s everything I need - reasonable hours, interesting (enough) work, and pretty good pay - and they’ve been very understanding of my health issues. I like it there.
