Good Omens Holiday Exchange

Recipient name: Elsajeni

Rating: G

Pairings and characters: Aziraphale/Crowley

Warnings: Brief mention of the plague

Summary: At the end of the Hundred Years’ War, Crowley is taken hostage by a French knight. He doesn’t take this adventure seriously at first, and his captor is rather a nice human. But something seems to be wrong with the castle, and Aziraphale doesn’t hurry to rescue him…

Additional tags: Middle Ages; some humour; fluff and angst (mostly because Crowley is a drama queen); some action; some cracks in “the fourth wall”

Dear Elsajeni, thank you for the interesting prompt, I hope you’ll like the story! Happy holidays!

Author’s Notes:

1) I tried to experiment with form a bit, so ideally you should be able to read this story in two ways: a) read chapters in the order they appear b) or read Crowley’s chapters first, and then read Aziraphale’s chapters to learn what the angel was doing in the meantime.

2) I didn’t try to mimic the style of medieval language at all, because it wouldn’t have been consistent. Let’s just pretend that this is a translation into modern English.

A huge thank you to the Mods for beta-reading my story!
