summary: It’s 10 years until Armageddon, but Aziraphale is still focused on making sure all his blessings and miracles are taken care of. When he asks Crowley to go to Tadfield for a few quick blessings, Crowley reluctantly agrees (Tadfield isn’t exactly the most exciting place to hang out). But when, by chance, he flubs a minor miracle, he has an uncomfortable interaction with a woman named Anathema who seems to see a lot more than she’s supposed to. When Crowley returns to London, he’s faced with a choice: lie to Aziraphale and tell him everything went fine, or come clean with his little screw up and deal with the aftermath of being honest. Neither option sounds very appealing.
notes 1: so I played with timeline a bit for this one. Armageddon is still happening, but is 10 years away. Anathema already lives in Tadfield at that point and is doing some work there to prepare for the end of days.
note 2: basically I wanted Crowley to have a run in with Anathema so that something she tells him can get things rolling between him and Aziraphale. I had a lot of fun with this piece, so I hope you enjoy it! happy holidays!
