Catherine Xavier-Lehnsherr thought that she was a rather mature, sensible girl. She never argued with her parents over her curfew. She saved up her birthday money to buy herself a gaming laptop. She even didn’t get goaded into a fight by William Stryker, Westchester Prep’s biggest asshole, when he said that girls were stupid.

And then she developed a crush on the wrong person: one of her best friends.

"Younger sons cannot marry where they like." - Col Fitzwilliam (Pride & Prejudice)

 ~

There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).

But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

Aziraphale Fell is a flight attendant who excels at delivering top notch customer service, but when it comes to his relationships outside the aircraft, things tend to crash and burn. After a particularly bumpy breakup, he decides to try a more casual approach to fulfilling his needs on the ground. What he can’t anticipate is that the man of his choosing ends up being a frequent flier on one of his monthly lines.

Anthony Jay Crowley is a London based architect who is working on a project in New York City. The last thing Crowley expects is to bump into the affable steward at the same bar following his flight. Starved for companionship, Crowley cannot help but be drawn to this man's quiet charms.

What was originally intended as a single night of passion soon turns into something more, which leads Aziraphale to wonder if he is headed for an emotional tailspin just as Crowley doubts the sustainability of something long term. 

Can these two pilot their relationship through past insecurities and push through the turbulent challenges their current lifestyles present? Or will they release the controls and allow their hearts to fall to pieces?

Five told himself that he was done being a hero. (In some strange twist of fate at the end of time, he had literally told himself to stop saving the world.) After stumbling into this time and place, he had finally managed some semblance of normalcy, or at least the world wasn’t trying to end itself every four days. Perhaps that was only because he wasn’t aware of it, but still. If he played his cards right, retirement would finally be within his reach, and the quiet of the universe had begun to suit him just fine.
