Aziraphale said, “Perhaps you could tell me while we dance ☺️”
and Crowley said, “You don't dance 🤨”
and Aziraphale grabbed Crowley's hand and and pulled him to dance and and Crowley said nothing, he just accepted it, because he does anything his angel wants.
3 ships: Besides Remadora (which I think is obvious), how about 3 ships NOT from the HP fandom?! Elizabeth/Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, David/Patrick from Schitt's Creek, and Morticia/Gomez from The Addams Family (the 90s movies' portrayals are my absolute favorite).
First ever ship: this one really, really made me think. I didn't care about shipping till I was older...so I guess the first time I had a couple I loved was Laura Ingalls/Almanzo Wilder, but they were real people in a somewhat fictionalized world of Little House on the Prairie. They had a 10 year age gap, my OG older dude/younger lady ship.

*****
Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995.
But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão
I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.
Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.
In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.
Alex knows he can't be thinking of her like this. Not anymore. She'd even had David's baby now, was a mother to a child that called him Uncle Alex. Well how would poor Darcy feel if she knew her mummy and Uncle Alex were up to no good?
Alex stares at her text, right on the edge of the bed raking a hand through his hair completely dismayed but equally some excitement was stirring in his gut. On top of that was the guilt for feeling excited. He couldn't escape the mixed bag of feelings that were forced down his throat everytime Tia popped into his mind.
Tia: Hey Al, Dave's gone to his parents for the weekend but we've had some trouble with the taps. Would you mind coming to take a look? X
The kiss was sending Alex's mind into a spiral. He felt heat creeping through his skin, his forehead growing clammy. He knew rationally that it likely meant nothing. But how couldn't it? He often thought about that moment in the bathroom. He'd never been able to meet Tia's eye since. In fact, he'd avoided her at all costs and it had worked for the most part. If he did see her, it was usually in group settings she had to behave in. This scenario she was painting sounded like a bloody porn trope rather than an innocent text. Yet if Matt's wife was to send him the same text, he'd think nothing of it. He shook the sordid thoughts from his head and sighed, deciding it would be weirder if he didn't help. And so reluctantly, nervously and guiltily excited, Alex got himself ready.
As Alex pulled up to the farmhouse mansion that the they had lived in for three years, images of the bathroom he knew he'd have to go in today flashed through his mind. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to diminish the memory of him trapped against the shower door while Tia had her way. She'd reduced him to a withering mess, a far cry from Alex's usual sexual endeavours where he was the one in control. Tia had took it from him unapologetically. He was sat there for so long, that he almost missed the sight of her opening the front door, peering out curiously wondering why he was taking so long. It was only when he heard the distinct squeal of Darcy cooing into the afternoon that his eyes tore open.
Tia stood at the front door, leant against the frame with that familiar smirk on her lips and her baby canoodled in her arms. Her lean legs were crossed over each other, her shoulders bare of anything other than the thin straps of the slip she was wearing. Alex gulped, trying to gather himself before he left the car.
"Hey," Tia called, waggling her fingers at him from the porch he was walking towards. He felt like he was walking into the devils lair with the way she was stood there, already possessing him with her sultriness before he'd even so much as uttered a greeting. He couldn't help thinking it may all be in his head. Tia hadn't tried anything in the three years it had been since the incident.
"Hey Darce," Alex smiles when she calls out to him, wriggling out of Tia's arms to run into his. She lands at his knees, hugging them tightly.
"Mummy says you'll fix the taps!" Darcy babbles, incoherently. Her age of two doesn't contribute to her speech very well but she tries anyway. Alex loves her like she truly is his niece, it only makes his guilt intensify when he thinks of where his mind goes toward her own mother.
"Did she? Mummy needs to not have so much faith in me," Alex muses dryly, slinging Darcy up on his hip as he glances humorously at Tia. She chuckles, gesturing him inside and he follows after them.
Their house smells exactly like Tia does, like vanilla and cotton blended into one fine mix and then a hint of Jimmy Choo perfume that she's worn since school.
"I'm not very advanced in plumbing," Alex says as he walks in behind her, waiting for her to open the door. She shrugs, looking over her shoulder with a smirk that makes his skin crawl, what is so attractive about disgust? Alex doesn't know, but as equally as he wants to be sick, he wants to bow to his knees too.
"Neither is Dave, hence why it's still broken. I think it only needs tightening," she says, emphasising the word with a glint in her eye, "but you'll know about that better than me."
"Jamie's good at stuff like this," Alex's voice is an octave higher, he visibly cringes at himself but luckily she's not looking. She ignores his comment, coaxing him through to the kitchen where the apparent broken tap in. Nothing about the space has changed bar the toys and books covering the dining table. He almost feels as if he's been trapped in here for years when the door swings shut behind them.
"I need to put Darce down for her nap," Tia says, swinging the cupboard door open, she gestures to the pipes. It might as well be rocket science for Alex, he gazes at them nervously, wondering what on earth she expects him to do. Subconsciously he knows that's not what he's here for, yet he'd ignored that inkling and came anyway. He hates himself.
"Night night Al!" Darcy waves at him, her little hand clumpy in its movements and he chuckles, waving all the same as Tia moves past him, her hip bumping his on the way.
"Nighty night Darce. Sweet dreams," he bops her nose, grinning at the sound of her joyful giggle.
Alex looked back towards the taps once she's out of sight, his face scrunching up in dismay. He'd have to fix it - otherwise he really has come here for no reason, and he can't have that. So reluctantly, he leans down, checking the pipes. Contrary to them needing to be tightened, they were actually loose, the water dripping down and dampening the hard wood of the cupboard. Alex sighed, it was an easy enough job, there wasn't a crack in sight nor a spanner needed. He merely twisted it back into place, and then slid out to find Tia gazing over him.
"See I knew you were a handsy man," she winks and Alex grunts as he gets up, his bones clicking on the way. At his ripe age of thirty, perhaps his body shouldn't be so sore, but life on the road has weakened him to those things. He rubs his shoulder, the pain easing as his fingers curve out the knotted muscles.
"Coffee?"
Alex nodded, albeit reluctantly. He started to question her motives, whether he'd read too much into it. Tia had always been this way, he'd known her for decades and only once did she ever try her luck. Who's to say she's trying it now?
Alex ponders for so long that by the time the fresh coffee is warming up his palms, he splutters out his thoughts;
"Why am I here?"
"To fix the taps silly!" Tia giggles, her back landing against the counter, legs crossing over the other. She's a true temptress, he's never known anything like it. Her eyes gleam with amusement when his gaze lingers a little too long on her bare legs, right down to her feet with her perfectly primed toenails. He wonders briefly how much Dave pays to keep her this in tact, to keep her around. He bets it's a lot.
"Me? You asked me of all people," Alex's voice portrays his disbelief and she chuckles.
"Is it so unbelievable?"
"Yes. You never message me, least of all with kisses and whatnot," he continues.
Now she really does laugh, her head falling back, white teeth glowing under the light. The sight of her tongue takes his mind to places it shouldn't be, he has to grip the cup even harder to refrain from going near her.
The coffee begins to burn his hands, while she laughs, he places it on the kitchen island behind him. The awkwardness of being laughed at makes his cheeks heat, he's sure they're glowing red giving away his embarrassment. He's not been this pathetic since he'd first hit puberty, years ago. And even then he swears he'd of had more of a spiteful tongue about her mockery. Now he remains silent, waiting for the moment he grips her attention again.
"Alex," Tia laughs, her mouth opening wide, eyes scrunching up. Alex can't help but feel mocked by her and this damages his ego, though he doesn't have much of one around her anyway. His jaw tenses and he huffs, "it's just standard to put a kiss! You're overthinking it. You and that bustling brain of yours eh? Conjuring up the wildest of things."
She's so dismissive that Alex visibly winces at her words, sighing and almost curling up into himself from embarrassment. No woman has ever made him feel so less than before and he hates it. But there's a small part of him that revels in it too. Her eyes glint at him, her body taut against the counter she's leant on. She really didn't need to wear a slip dress today, Alex thinks. She must be doing it to catch his eye. Is he completely misreading this?
"It's not that far fetched is it?" He says dryly.
Her eyes glint with amusement, she walks in a feline like manner over to Alex, stood right before him, his breath hitches. He even stumbles back slightly and she places her small palm on his arm to steady him, her nails still that devilish red.
"It was only a blowjob Alexander," she hums, scratching her nails over the fabric of his T-shirt, the sensation makes him shiver which doesn't go unnoticed by her, "don't tell me it's that easy to get inside of your head."
"Right," Alex nods, pulling his lips inward. Silence overcomes them for a minute which puts him on edge.
"Does it really count?" Tia continues just as Alex goes to walk out, humiliated by his own suggestiveness and his own dirty thoughts. But the sound of her voice laced with something sordid halts him, and her grip becomes tighter. He looks around to her trying to feign a confidence he doesn't have.
"If you don't make a girl cum?" She finishes, smirking at him, her dark eyes glistening and Alex lost his breath.
"I-I....we didn't...." Alex couldn't catch up to his words, fell short breathless and confused and riddled with lust once more. She reduced him to a mess and he hated it. But his body responded much differently to his mind.
"See I think, if the man makes the woman cum, that's a real sexual endeavour. But if he can't, all it would take is a man and his mind," she shrugs.
She's evidently teasing him but he doesn't care now. He's offended by her suggestion.
"You left before I could....touch you....I would've....I'm not selfish like that," Alex was stuttering, making a right mess of his words. They always came out so perfectly clear on paper but in person he couldn't master coherency, especially not with her sultry eyes peering into him like she could spot every emotion in his eye, read every thought in his mind.
"But you didn't," she shrugs, letting her hand drop with a pout on her pink tinted plump lips. Every little trick she was using was working wondrously against Alex, who was frowning at her in pure annoyance at the accusation.
"I could have," he says sternly.
"Yeah well....if you say so," Tia shrugs, a smirk lifting the corners of her lips. She shuffles past Alex, putting something back in place and a beat of silence passes between them as Alex stares at her figure, irritated.
"You're teasing me," he says, surprised by his own sentence.
"Am I?"
She turns around with a glint in her eye and a growl like sound leaves Alex's mouth. He watches her mouth fall ajar with a gasp as he moves suddenly, pinning her body against the counter behind her, he grabs her chin in his hand and forces her head back slightly, peering into her eyes like a mad man.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? You're married to Dave, what do you want with me?"
She didn't look fearful. She didn't feel fearful. She looked as thrilled as she felt as she gazed up at Alex, face caught in a steel iron grip that she revelled in, let her head fall back so that it all balanced on him and him only.
"Who said I wanted you?" She drawls. Alex only grabs her harder, his hips digging into hers. Her eyes glowered with satisfaction at the feel of him.
"You're a fucking liar, I can see it in your eyes," he growls again. She's loving this, even though she loves control, she also loves to see his control snap. And she knows it's close to the tether, all it will take is a little bit more and Alex will be a goner. She ever so slightly shuffles her hips, lightly enough that it could be an accident, "I've never fixed a tap in me fucking life Tia, you know that. I turn up here and you're wearing a fucking nighty, flaunting everything, bending over showing me what you had for breakfast up that short little thing. You know full well what you're doing!"
Alex is shouting now, his whole face reddened with anger but Tia knows it's not really directed at her. He's pissed off because he can't control himself, and it really is that easy to rile a man up. Her smirk doesn't slip and in a flash Alex has flipped her round, her body slightly leant over the counter, hips digging into her arse and his hand wrapped around her throat. She gasps again, thrilled by his outburst. She can see her reflection in a spoon on the side and she smirks at herself, at her widened feral eyes. God she is sexy, and they both know it.
"What is it you want Tia?" Alex whispers, leaning in so his lips brush her ear and her eyes flutter closed, "do you want me to fuck you?"
"I-I-"
Tia let's slip a rather undignified moan when Alex grinds his hips into hers hard, she can feel every curve of him through the thin slip of her dress. She can't help but back up into it.
At the feel of her pushing against him, Alex groans himself and falls forward, hunched over her body, palms laid either side of her on the counter top. If anyone were to walk in right now, there would be no doubt about what they're doing.
"Is that what you've been dreaming of?" Alex breathes out, flustered himself now. He grinds against her again and she moans, a pornstar esque sound that sets his bones on fire, fuelled merely by the desire for her he's been stirring up all day long, ever since she marked her text with an 'X'.
"Tell me why you want me," Alex demands in her ear, kissing the lobe straight after just to get a taste of her albeit a small one but enough to curb his insatiable cravings for the second.
"I don't," Tia insists, yet her words contradict her actions as she grinds back onto Alex again, coaxing a whimper from him. He moves his hands to her hips, halting them, bunching her dress up in his fists so the creaminess of her thighs peek out. The sight is enough to have him sweating. Nobody makes him sweat like Tia does.
"Liar," Alex whispers against her ear, watching the tiny hairs of her neck raise at the feel of his breath on her skin.
Suddenly Tia has spun, caught him by the shirt, caught him off guard more like. She's pushed him back until his body lands against the wall behind him, and hers is firmed still on his but now the control has flipped. Alex is in disbelief as he gazes down at her, eyes wide with wonder.
"You know all this feigned control of yours is really cute Alexander, but chit chat isn't my style," she snarls, looking mighty fine while she's doing it, Alex thinks, "there's one thing I want," her hand clasps the bulge in his trousers and Alex tries to hold it back but the whimper falls out without his consent, "now are you going to fuck me Alex? Or do you just want to talk?"
Alex eyes her cautiously for a second, she raises her dark eyebrows expectantly and that's all it takes. Clearly, his demand for an explanation won't be met with a result anytime soon. He wants her, his cock is all telling of that. There's only so many times he can stall before he comes up empty handed anyway.
His hands are on her face within a second and he's pushing her right back to the counter she was bent over only seconds prior. Things seem to be crashing, but neither of them care as Alex slides his palms around her thighs, pulling her against him all the same.
Their lips engage in a fast and hard rhythm that perfectly evidences the undeniable sexual connection they hold. It's all desperate, hot and wet, open mouthed, tongues dancing around fighting for dominance. Alex's hands trail all over Tia's body like he's trying to convince himself that she's really there, that she's really his to defy in this moment. And despite her teasing that his control is feigned, he feels it coming back strong; his hand clasps the back of her neck to hold her against him, stealing her breath with never ending kisses.
Tias hands wonder the length of his torso, leaving goosebumps in their wake, she nudges his T-shirt up so she can skim his belly just above his boxers with her eager fingertips and Alex groans in response.
She seems to like his noises, her breath hitching as her tongue swipes over his. It's hardly a romantic kiss, it's messy, unorganised - quite like deceit truthfully. Before long, her finger is swiping under the seam of his boxers, her fingertip grazing over his leaking tip making him hiss against her mouth. It gives her an opening to pinch his bottom lip between her teeth, biting down hard and leaving it swollen in her wake even when she soothes it with her tongue.
Alex gains the confidence this time to touch her in return. It's almost animalistic, the way his hips are pressing hers into the counter, the way his hands grope at the bottom of her slip, bunching it up to the tops of her thighs. His short nails dig into the creamy surface of her supple flesh, leaving crescent shaped marks indented in her skin but she doesn't seem to mind.
Her hand fiddles with the button and zip on his jeans, the struggle not swaying her kiss. Meanwhile, Alex's hand moves to the inside of her spread legs, his nails scraping the sensitive skin on her inner thigh, making her shiver against him. Through it all, their lips never part, only when he grazes her silk panties with his calloused fingertips, her lips part in a gasp breaking the kiss once and for all.
Alex presses his fingers against the fabric, rubbing her through it teasingly, watching the desire fill her eyes and turn them black. The stickiness of her starts to spread over the tips and he lets free a content hum.
"Wet."
"Hard," she counters, finally edging down his jeans enough to pull his throbbing length from the confines of his boxers, Alex whines, "guess that's our que to fuck then, isn't it?"
Alex huffs a laugh, grabbing her thighs until theyre settled on his waist, her bum right on the edge of the counter. He swiftly moves her panties to the side, entering her quickly - the buffer is too much to bear, he's already throbbing and close and they've barely begun.
Alex pushes in slowly, watching her eyes grow hazy as he fills her inch by inch. She's tight and he knows full well he's well endowed, the grimace on her lips suggests she's struggling to take it, and yet the enthralment in her eyes never dissipates.
"Okay?" Alex confirms, halting at the base of her. He's genuinely concerned but regardless comes across as cocky, and maybe it does feel good for once to have her baffled over something about him - he was getting a bit tired of being the only one affected by their affair.
"Mhm," she chuckles, her lips pulling inwards as Alex bottoms out and pushes back in again, slowly for now but his hips hit hers hard and she winces slightly, "you're big."
"Hm," Alex barely bites back a smirk, "you not used to that then?"
"Are you asking me how big my husband's cock is Alex?" She bites back, looking a little irked and Alex raises his eyebrows but his movements never stop, instead they increase and she pushes her heels into his back to encourage them further.
The feel of her around him is heavenly, intensified by the desire he's held for all these years. He'd be lying if he said that blowjob hadn't crossed his mind once or twice (or even more), lying if he claimed his hand had never dipped beneath his boxers to get himself off to the memory of her mouth.
Her mouth was amazing. What's even better though, is her cunt. Alex's eyes roll back, his cockiness fading as the feeling settles in the pit of his stomach. She's like a hug on a winters day, not to mention so tight that every inch of him is being squeezed and satiated to a top notch degree.
"Fuck that feels so good," he moans, bottoming out only to push back inside her hard, coaxing a squeal from her as she tries to adjust to his size. He's so big, she feels so full and content, a sigh of relief breathed into his mouth that he swallows with another mind consuming kiss.
Alex knows he isn't going to last long. Especially with how demanding her feet are against his back, speaking wordlessly, telling him to move faster, harder. And of course he complies, his hips smacking against hers hard enough to crack a bone. It's worth it to watch her eyes roll back and her mouth gape, worth it to see her so fucked out all at the hands of him.
"Mmmm Alex," she moves her hands around his head, engraving her fingers into the roots of his hair and tugging harshly. His head falls back, a loud moan escaping his lips at the sensation, goosebumps rise at the back of his neck where her nails scrape down, "you feel so good."
"So do you," he reassures her, kissing her again hard. Her lips swell against his, their moans mingling between them. Eventually he just holds his mouth to hers, his eyes wide open conveying all the goodness he feels in this moment, even if this act is so so bad.
"Can feel you twitching inside of me already," she drawls against his lips, her eyes wicked, "so close already, aren't you Al?"
"Stop," he pleads, her words only making that knot in his tummy tighten, the promise of his impending release almost overwhelming. Sweat pools on his head, dripping the length of his face, some even dripping onto his lip. She moans at the saltiness on her tongue as she darts out to lick them clean. Alex's eyes roll back again.
"Filling me so well," she coos, "haven't stopped dreaming of this big cock for all these years."
Alex whimpers, so close now that tears even pool in his eyeline as he desperately tries to hold back, tries to prove her wrong in her assumption that he can't pleasure her.
"Tia," he breathes out, almost out of desperation for some comfort, some understanding - but falls short when she giggles against him, her breath cooling his face momentarily. He's about to burst and she knows it, she has him in the palm of her hand.
"Go on sweetheart," she degrades him, reducing him to a whining mess, he's surprised his knees haven't buckled, "let go."
"I-I- fuck, oh fuck," Alex groans, his head falling onto her shoulder, hair tickling her neck. The sensation makes her pussy clench around Alex and he suddenly lifts his head, eyes wide and signalling the release bound to shoot out of him at any given moment.
Tia grins at him, clenching around him right in the moment that he genuinely can't take it anymore. Alex whines, his eyes rolling back so far into his skull that it's actually painful. His mouth gapes open, releasing a loud whine that he pays no mind to echoing off the walls. He feels himself spill inside of her, admittedly it's been a while since he's cum, so the release seems endless, the warm feeling spreading up his length as he continues to gently rock his hips into her.
But despite his lack of stamina, he absolutely refuses to leave her unsatisfied, especially after her incessant teasing earlier. He pulls out only briefly to land her on her feet, bending her back over the counter. He enters her again with a hiss. Despite the overstimulation, he starts to fuck into her hard again, a yelp leaving her lips proving her surprise and his hand curves over her hip, sneaking towards her centre where he slaps the front of her pussy, making her tighten around him again.
He lets his fingers softly circle her where she needs him most, hung over her like a dog on heat but she's hardly protesting. In fact, she's near screaming the house down, momentarily forgetting about her daughter asleep upstairs. It's so wrong. So, so wrong. Alex would love to listen to her cries of pleasure but he uses his other hand to plunge two fingers into her mouth, silencing her screams and twitching at the feel of her hot tongue drooling all over his hand.
"Cum for me," Alex whispers in her ear. He feels her grow impossibly tight, enough for him to gasp, the edging eventually too much for him too. He can't believe it when he feels himself twitch and the pleasure coils in his stomach, his second release in a mere few minutes spilling into her once more.
Tia groans around his fingers as she begins to gush around his cock, the wetness flooding all over him, even reaching his jeans. He hadn't realised she was a squirter but he certainly isn't complaining. What he is, though, is ridiculously overstimulated. He pulls out of her and softens immediately, the burn in his pelvis minuscule when compared to the pleasure turning him to jelly.
"Does that count?" Alex sneers, pushing his weak body back until it hits the wall. Tia is still bent over the counter, her arse red, hips bruised from his grip. He briefly wonders how she might hide that, but her giggle chops through his thoughts. She turns her head, hazy eyes, a lazy smirk.
"Do you feel better about yourself now Alexander?" She drawls, eventually moving only to pull her panties up and her slip down, covering her modesty. Not that she really has much of it.
"You're a bad girl, Tia," Alex zips up his jeans, the sweat still dripping from his forehead and over his collarbones, making him shift with discomfort. He'll need a shower and probably a confession with a priest after this.
Tia shrugs, her lips curling up in that same wickedness she always obtains. He raises his eyebrows, wondering why her facade is necessary now that she's got what she wants.
"You know....back in school I would've never wanted you," she says, moving to the sink, her body fluid like the water that starts to pour from the tap. With her back to him, he lets himself look at her body, dreaming of her naked for him, of how much love he could give that body. She's aged like fine wine, bounced back after a baby. She's effortlessly beautiful and always has been, so when her words hit him, he can't help but think the same can't be said for him.
"But if you'd of told me it was big, I'd probably had given you a go," she chuckles to herself, her body vibrating as the laughter rumbles through her. Alex quirks a brow even though she can't see him, but he always has to be prepared for the unexpected in this house.
This time it comes in the form of a soft spoken voice. His eyes widen, and likewise Tia seems a little taken aback. Darcy calls out her name again, pleading with her to come into her room. Tia shoots an unapologetic look at Alex as she passes, quickly fixing her hair and pulling her dress so she looks half decent as she tends to her child.
Fuck, her child. The child she shares with his childhood best mate. How the fuck has Alex ended up in this situation again? He groans, his head falling back against the wall with an almighty thump. He can hear the muted vibrations of voices in the next room, he can only pray that Darcy was asleep during that encounter - otherwise he truly is going to hell.
"Look Darce," Tia parades back into the room with the child on her hip. Alex's heart melts at the sight of her sleepy eyes, her face swollen from the remnants of her sleep, she softly smiles at him when she catches sight of him still stood there and his heart lurches now, guilt parading through his veins in full force.
Tia places her hand on the tap handle, pulling it out to show her the running water.
"What do we say to Al?"
"Thank you," Darcy is obedient, unlike her mother, luckily. Alex forces a smile.
"I should be off," he says suddenly.
Tia doesn't protest, now that she's got what she wanted she's half as interested in him. Alex wonders how she can remain so placid when her child is in her arms, a human reminder of the husband she's just defied. The vows she's just broken. But she's unphased, as always, seeing Alex to the door with a smile that had turned friendly.
He climbs into his car and watches her at the door, waving Darcy's fist in his direction. He has to drive away, even though he needs the moment of solitude to think about what he's just done, if he lingers any longer he might just crumble.
Maybe he already has.
