OK, things are really coming together in the this story now. That makes me very very happy.

Celebrate with me: have something funny and pr0ny!

Some denizens of [livejournal.com profile] lower_tadfield have suggested the existence of a kink for Voyeur!Aziraphale, and there have been some lovely delicate, subtle pieces to that effect. Mmm. But this is mine, so it is neither delicate nor subtle. And it doesn't end too well for the angel. Definite R rating on this bit, for ellipsis abuse if nothing else.

Geeky wank-deflecting note: No one but me would notice this, but this is the first time I have actually made explicit reference to the color of Crowley's wings. This is a matter of some fandom dispute: he's often shown with black ones, and someone always rushes to point out that The Book says that demons' wings are just like angels' only usually better groomed. Yes, yes: I took this to mean they aren't the leathery batlike ones of stereotype. But there's no reference there to color at all, and so Aziraphale's white wings are just as much fanon, then, aren't they? Maybe they've got rainbow ones covered with eyes the way medieval artists often depicted them, yes? So I made an aesthetic choice. Crowley's wings are black here. Why? Because if humans had wings, the kind of human he pretends to be would have black ones.

The Watcher In the Woods, or Why Aziraphale Missed the First Battle of Bull Run Completely )


Tonight's writing in progress: Famine and Pestilence rendezvous in Richmond. (Yes, I am very much enjoying picking apart my home state, for the record.)
