Oh, Adam. What a naughty boy you've been. However, I enjoy a yarn where I get to see my favorite characters be completely bad-ass, so that's all right. This little piece of prose right here:
Occupant was probably entirely too neutral a term for him. Customer was out, of course, since through diligent effort on the part of its proprietor the shop hadn't in fact sold any books since 1973. Crowley'd favour benevolent overlord, if asked, but he'd happily settle for 'parasite' if there was Twinings in it for him. Aziraphale, who people tended to mistakenly think was the nicer of the two, would probably have gone with 'denizen'. Then again, just now Aziraphale was in a snit, because Crowley had sneakily pincered the last bag of Assam out of the caddy and left the angel to either faff about with the loose leaf or pop along to the Tesco Metro on the corner. They'd Had Words about it. Crowley had, of course, denied everything in particularly injured tones.

It was Crowley's very favourite sort of day.
