Black Sepia - chapter 7
"I never quite figured you the sort to march in the street, angel," said Crowley. "Me, yes, I've been in any number of revolutions, though I did try to skip the French one," he gave Aziraphale a wink. "But it's not really your thing, is it?" "The...
Black Sepia - chapter 6
They went clothes shopping the next day. Pain had left him, but Aziraphale was still molting. The itching wasn't as bad, since he had no more feathers to shed, but the new pinfeathers still pushing up into place itched, and he felt vaguely irritated...
Black Sepia - chapter 5
Two days later there was a knock on the bookshop door, well after hours. Aziraphale was curled up on the couch with a book, one of his old favorites. He didn't have the energy to read anything new just now. Crowley was wrapped around him, all long...
Black Sepia - chapter 3
"Honestly, angel, I'd say you rather have gluttony under your belt by now." Crowley smiled as he sat beside Aziraphale at yet another interesting little restaurant, where the two were having dinner. "I thought I'd start out easy, since it's only a...
Black Sepia - chapter 2
The phone was ringing. Aziraphale blearily lifted his head and looked at the old-fashioned phone on his desk, then let it drop again. It would be Crowley, and he had no idea how to talk to Crowley right now. He was much too drunk to talk to Crowley...
Black Sepia - chapter 1
"Here, try some of this, angel" Crowley passed the tiny little sake cup over to Aziraphale, and their fingers brushed as the angel took it. Aziraphale didn't even flinch, though as always, burning, hellish pain seared through him at the contact. He...

"Goodnight, sweetling," said Cadance, and she bent over the crib and kissed Flurry Heart gently, just below her horn. The tiny alicorn didn't even stir, she had given herself over to slumber at last. Cadance straightened and added, under her breath,...

Emily Aurelius let out a long breath as she set foot on Dromia VI for the first time. She was a golden jackal of fairly average height, with a slender build, dark hazel eyes, golden-brown fur ticked with darker brown along her back and brushy tail,...
Through A Glass Darkly - 7 (final)
A gentle breeze sent ripples over the golden grass that covered the plain, sunlight glinting from the stalks as if they were real gold. Here and there green peeked out amid the gold, signs of the new life that seemed to be flourishing all around. ...
Through A Glass Darkly - 6
In her first moments of ascension, all Luna knew was blood. The sight, staining the altar and Whiffletree's gray coat. The scent, thick in the air. The taste, heady on her tongue. Blood was her world as the moon rose triumphant at her back. She rose...
Through A Glass Darkly - 5
Whiffletree felt well rested when she rose. It was illogical, of course. They'd escaped a horrible danger, and rested amid the unknown and perhaps the unknowable, and yet she'd slept deeply and soundly. She stretched, as did Luna beside her, and...
Through A Glass Darkly - 4
They went on. The road had stretched forever, Whiffletree was sure, and the forest nearly as far. They would walk on worn black cobblestones until the universe died its final, cold death. Yet with each stride the road curved and climbed more, snaking...
