Oh, hello there, er, Mr. Rat... in a donkey jacket...? What's this? A note from Crowley? Rather badly chewed, I see... Well, if you're that hungry, please help yourself to the rest of my scones. I can always buy more.

Oh dear! I... well I'm not entirely sure what he's trying to tell me.

But it seems as though he's been taken to Hell for punishment — something to do with the Antichrist — and that another demon will be taking his place!

Well, then, I'll be damned if they move into this city without a fight. I guess I'm off to protect our turf. And, hopefully, to figure out a way of rescuing Crowley.

All without performing any miracles, lest I get into trouble with my own superiors. Oh, bugger....

DAY ONE: Poor Crowley, I can only imagine what horrors they must be performing on him right now...

DAY TWO: They could be lashing him with whips and chains, how awful!

DAY THREE: They could lock him into an iron maiden with all those dreadful spikes!

DAY FOUR: They could stretch him on a rack! Although, as a snake, he might possibly be okay with that...

*Tsk*. I don't think I can keep this up forever. Fairly soon, I imagine they'll start sending more powerful demons than these imps, and then I'll have to do... something more drastic.

*SIGH* Very well, I can manage one miracle...

There. A tiny localized cloud, just over this building.

I'd like to see any demon get through a rainshower of holy water.

DAY FIVE: Yes, I know it's only thunder, but still...

C: Angel, what the HELL?!?! Are you really so pissed at missing lunch that you had to go all "Hulk Smash!" on every imp they sent up to get paperwork? And what did you expect to do with that plant? Photosynthesize me to death??

A: Crowley? Lunch when" Hulk who? Paper what? And... you're okay?

C: Of course! Didn't you get my note??

NOTE: Aziraphale, won't be free for lunch, dinner, tea, or anything else for a few days. What with delivering the Antichrist and so on, forgot to file some paperwork and now Dagon is annoyed with me, so I'm being punished like a kid. They're sending another demon to my flat to fetch it instead. Don't worry about it, they won't be sticking around. All is well, Crowley

A: Ah, it all makes much more sense now...

C: ... Anyway, after I did such a "good job" with the Antichrist, they couldn't be too rough on me, and just stuck me in a corner with a dunce cap for a while. Bloody childish. Then after you started clobbering demons left and right, they weren't about to risk anyone "important" just for paperwork... so here I am. Nice to know how short-lived their favoritism is. Eh, I'll just send one of the rats back with it. One that won't chew it apart on the way.

A: Well, I'm relieved to know that's all be sorted out. I must say, I was growing concerned that you were genuinely being replaced.

C: Ruffled your feathers a bit, did it?

A: Honestly, Crowley, I can barely get along with the devil I already know.

C: Suuure.

A: By the way, how on earth did you know to avoid the rain?

C: ...Sssmelled it.

A: Really? You can sense holy water by its smell?

C: Well, er, it just... sssmells like you, angel...

A: Oh? I see?

C: ...sss'not too bad...

A: Oooh... I see...

True. But if Crowley had properly bribed him (with food) beforehand, there wouldn't have been as much demon stomping fun later. ;)

I've always found graphic novels to be extremely difficult to do, and you did this so well! I can't begin to imagine how much work went into this. I loved the story, and the images were fantastic. I think my favorite is Crowley's protective rain wear. (From Ri)

Thank you! Comic layouts are tricky, true. But oh man, is it waaay easier in the digital age than when I first learned, and everything was done on paper, in ink, using a ruler for borders, and hand-lettering. This took less than week, but if I'd done it with traditional means... Yikes.

Okay first of all I somehow didn't know the word 'hellion' and it's fantastic, so thanks for that XD

Love that Crowley uses messenger rats XD And Aziraphale offers them food, of course! The little hearts above their head are the cutest.

All the creative ways he deals with the other demons!!! Especially the turtle one that he just knocks over, lol. Aziraphale has GOT THINGS under CONTROL.

I am going to imagine the holy rain smells quite nice :) Still best to save it for--well, not a rainy day, but emergencies, seeing how dangerous it can be XD

This was so fun! I absolutely love Crowley's terrifying raincoat silhouette :D

Lol, yes, Aziraphale is very resourceful. And sneaky, though he doesn't like that word as much, it seems less angelic.

The idea of holy water smelling like him was a riff off the show, where Crowley says he knows what Aziraphale smells like, and it seemed like that was just a whole can of worms waiting to be opened. Yes, he smells very nice. :D

Lol! If I recall correctly, this prompt was fairly serious, so this was an interesting way to subvert it! I especially liked Crowley's elaborate waterproof outfit and the good old-fashioned 'the missing parts of the letter are the most important' trope. XD

I rarely take a prompt as serious unless it specifies "SERIOUS!", and it really didn't scream that at me. :) If I can twist something into funny, I will!

QUANTUMWITCH!!! THank you!! Sorry I've been so absent here, but I finally got the time to sit down and read this and I LOVE IT! Aziraphale's distracted musings while he torments the demons is phenomenal! Crowley's wet rat look, incredible! And of course, the little pining blushing faces at the end, I'm dead they're so cute!!

I'm so glad you liked it! :D Really had a blast coming up with everything, and the ideas were springing into my head almost instantly when I read the prompt (I literally dreamed the first night what to do with the cockroach demon, kid you not).
