Between this ficlet and the art I did for Charlene, @copperplatebeech and I have created a slight uptick in sushi orders 😂

Ceremony - rated M, ~ 725 words

Inspired by a bit of art by @mielpetite on their patre0n, which I'll link if it's generally released!

Read on AO3, if you prefer

“Do hold still, dear. One doesn’t want to stain the tablecloth.”

“You want me to. Ng. Hold still, stop… doing that.”

“Nantaimori is a celebration of both victory – which I think I can fairly say we have earned – and of beauty – of artfully prepared food, and of the human body. I am admiring the one before enjoying the other.”

“ ‘M’not – ah – human.” Crowley’s breath trembled with the control required to avoid disturbing the collation displayed on his torso. A morsel of salmon nigiri below the arc of each collarbone, the glistening deep coral of the fish echoing the touch of light on the springy thatch that spread across his chest; a single pressed mackerel oshizushi at his breastbone, the black-over-white of the nori-wrapped rice block like a bit of formal dress; colourful temari balls, topped with miniature collages of seaweed and egg and radish and arranged just below the dark knots of his nipples. A row of hosomaki, like Brighton Rock made of nori and rice, perched in file above the sharp projection of each hipbone, their centres little jewels of cucumber and tuna and plum.

Aziraphale’s hand rested on his thigh, fingertips a ghosting touch at the hollow of his groin.

‘You are wearing a human corporation, dear. Which I for one find particularly… edifying. Oh, my, who would have thought this would… affect you so."

“Edify you.”

“In good time, I’m sure. That’s it, just breathe yourself down. I think… hm, yes, an orderly progression is the best. It’s customary to use chopsticks for this presentation – the inlaid ones, I think – “ Crowley suppressed a startled twitch as the points of lacquered wood ohashi traced a twin path below his right collarbone. The slight weight of the nigiri lifted from his skin, leaving a faint moist spot that for moment nearly overwhelmed his senses, nerve endings rioting in his enforced repose.

“Ambrosial. Just the touch of a light shoyu, a particle of wasabi, enough to tantalize…  perhaps a sliver of ginger gari with the other. It’s like a bit of frosted glass. Oh, look at you. There’s only one bit of you that can move. A glorious sight.”

Crowley whined faintly as the blunt tip of the chopsticks grazed the corona of hair around his nipple, lifting away the first of the little temari sculptures.

“Almost too pretty to eat. But then, this is also a celebration of the brevity of beauty, the importance of the moment. And your beauty…” Another brush; a struggle not to arch his back, to ask for more touch. “It endures. Through all your forms, in all the eras. I’m often given to contemplation of it.”

The single, formal briquet of oshi plucked from his breastbone. A short silence, broken by the soft hum of the angel’s enjoyment, a sound that drew a deep, low groan from Crowley in answer.

“Dear, you can stay the course. One isn't to rush. After everything else we’ve done…”

The sharp intake of breath as the chopsticks brushed his belly, a seismic tremor that he barely suppressed.

“Oh, you’re doing so well… I know you’re longing to be touched. Patience. You’re so beautiful like this. It’s very distracting, but one is to focus on the moment – mm. The pickled plum. That little bit of fire from the wasabi radish – like you, sweet and fiery – do you know there is also a custom of discarding the chopsticks completely? A full appreciation of the perfectly imperfect body, the fleeting moment – “ Soft lips feathered the peak of Crowley’s hipbone, closed over the cucumber maki poised there. There was no help for it; his neck arched with a little strangled sob.

“Almost done, dear. You’re doing swimmingly. The last of the yellowtail – nearest the centre –” The brush of lips again, ruffling the coiling hairs that spread out from the base of his belly, so close.

“Superb. How are you doing, my love?”

Answer seemed impossible. Only breath, trembling down into  the depths of his corporation and out again, each a fleeting moment in time, each a prayer.

“So very lovely. Stay like that, my darling, exactly like that… You know the rule of the ceremony.” The brief gurgle of green tea into a dainty cup, the hum of appreciation as Aziraphale cleansed his palate. “There’s still something left here, something exquisite. And you’re not to move until the repast is complete.”

Happy Birthday, Charlene! 🥂🍣🥳

I can’t show you all of this here I think, but most of it, and of course it’s all out over on my Patreon.

I hope you have an awesome day and celebrate all day and into the weekend! You asked for a little nyotaimori/ nantaimori and I knew it was gonna be a challenge but it was a fun one. And now I want sushi 😂 I know sometimes the traditional set up is more ornate, with leaves draped over the body, but I think Crowley might go for a more minimalist style, and I’m sure Aziraphale wouldn’t mind seeing more of him while he eats 😂 Also side note I only this week (after drawing this) learned that it’s traditional to eat sushi with your hands and Aziraphale would know that, of course, but it was too late I already drew the chopsticks in his hand- sorry!

WIP Wednesday

There’s a lot going on. I’ll leave it to you to decide what. Also this panel is irritating me, even though my spouse picked it. It may change again before I post the page, but this is how it looked when my spousearooni chose it to be the WIP:

I dunno man, I’ll figure it out maybe 😂

[mielpetite]

Happy birthday DrimmsyDra! 🥳🥂❤️

I hope your day is unfolding with beauty and ease and that you are getting a lot of treats!

Happy birthday, dear and I hope you enjoy. ❤️

Every now and again I get down and think about chucking it all in and trying to be normal (I know- ewww) and then as soon as I do, like MAGIC, one of you lovely people says something like this. 🥲 Back to doodling I go! 😂

Saturday Morning Funtime

I just realized I forgot to post this month’s monthly work here! “Saturday Morning Funtime” based on moments from episode 4. The dynamic duo don’t spend a lot of time together in this episode so I opted to show them inversely dealing with their colleagues: here Crowley sticks his tongue out before escaping through his phone and in the flip, Aziraphale calls his crew “bad angels!”

[mielpetite]

I can’t show you the whole thing here, but I did a little thing for Puzzlecat’s birthday, and I love how their expressions came out. If you like fluffy smut and sock garters you might like it. You can check it out on my Patreon ❤️
