    Summary

    “Rosy is lovely! She’s the nicest snake you could ask for. Snakes get a bad reputation but people don’t even give them a chance!”

    “Oh, I’m sure your… Rosy… is a very nice snake. I’ve just always had… well, a thing about them. Are you… Will you be breeding food for her?”

    Crowley, now sullenly tugging the box into his apartment, looked up. “Yeah.”

    “Oh.”

    “Oh for crying out loud, what now?”

    “It’s just… Do you really think it’s a good idea, breeding rodents in an apartment building? I mean, what if they get out?”

    “That’s what this is for.” Crowley looked at him like he was an idiot. “So they don’t get out.”

     
    or
    Aziraphale is outraged when his snake-keeping neighbor allows a rat to escape and it ends up loose in his apartment. When Crowley tries to make it up to him it looks like a relationship could be a real possibility... if only Aziraphale could get over his fear of snakes.

    Basically just ~15k words of these two idiots trying to get to know each other while navigating the terrors of being known, all under the guise of rodent control.

    Summary

    Kyōya left Lumiose a little while after the events of Prism Tower and Hyperspace Lumiose wrapped up, and traveled nonstop for around five years. Now he's back in Lumiose; unannounced, unplanned, and there's not going to be an open room for him at Hotel Z for at least a month. He swings by the Rust Syndicate Office just to see if Corbeau and Philippe have any ideas about cheap, temporary housing, and finds himself (to his immense surprise) invited to stay in Corbeau's guest room until a hotel room opens up for him. It's probably not an issue that he's been hung up on Corbeau for the last five years (and that Corbeau has secretly been hung up on him for the last five years too), right?

    Summary

    “Look, if you don’t want to see me again, that’s fine. I just would have liked to know what I did wrong. But if you don’t want to talk about it, I guess I’ll just-“

    His hand started slipping from Aziraphale’s and in a sudden rush of panic the angel gripped onto the demon tightly.

    “No!”, he gasped, the thought of his beloved leaving indefinitely suddenly feeling like a crushing weight on his chest. Crowley looked back down at him, his expression confused and hurt.

    “Tell me what’s going on here then, angel. What has suddenly gotten into you?”

    Aziraphale worried his lip between his teeth, unable to meet the other’s eyes. He could feel his heart beating up his throat. Was he really about to tell Crowley? Well, yes. Crowley deserved his honesty. If anything he didn’t deserve Aziraphale throwing him out and not even giving him a reason. Even if it was a good reason. He felt like fainting when he looked back up again into the face that he loved so much. The face that he felt so undeserving of loving.

    “Would you… do you think I should get a new corporation?”

    Or: Aziraphale overhears Crowley reprimanding his plants and starts to wonder if he’s even good enough for his demon.
