SANTA'S ELVES AND TELEVISION-

Ulysses is a fan of American TV and he wanted to give a TV party and impress the three elves by making them watch his favorite series (NCIS, FBI, Chicago PD, etc.).

Unfortunately for him, December is the worst month of the year for TV and all the American networks fill their schedule with Christmas movies, always the same concept, two people fall in love during the preparations or a trip surrounding Christmas... Fortunately, Ulysses is good with online downloads!

The card table and popcorn were brought out and the group was entertained by watching online episodes including one of NCIS Hawaii on a beach in the sun...

Long live technology!

LES LUTINS DU PÈRE NOËL ET LA TÉLÉVISION-

Ulysse est un fan de la télé américaine et il a voulu offrir une soirée télé et impressionner les trois lutins en leur faisant regarder ses séries préférées (NCIS, FBI, Chicago PD, etc.).

Malheureusement pour lui, le mois de décembre est le pire mois de l'année pour la télé et tous les réseaux américains remplissent leur grille avec des films de Noël, toujours le même concept, deux personnes tombent en amour durant les préparatifs ou un voyage entourant Noël... Heureusement, Ulysse est habile avec le téléchargement en ligne!

La table à carte et le popcorn ont été sortis et le groupe s'est diverti en visionnant des épisodes en ligne dont un de NCIS Hawaii sur une plage au soleil...

Vive la technologie!

The Whole Truth

(All ready for this? I’ll be posting 8 chapters over the course of the day! Special thanks to @elvesontheshelf for the idea, @thyra279 for the encouragement, and @under-a-linden-tree for the guest-written paragraph in chapter 6!)

(Mostly fluff, bit of angst, gets sappy, and a happy ending, promise!)

Available on AO3!

Prologue: Sunday (After the Apocalypse)

Aziraphale talked all through their dinner at the Ritz, for hours, more freely and openly than perhaps he ever had. Now and again, he caught Crowley smiling with something that might be…fondness. He hoped so. At the moment, it was all he would allow himself to hope for. Anything more seemed…greedy. They were alive. They were together. What more did he need?

Afterwards, they walked through St. James’s Park. Crowley lingered by the duck pond, gazing at the water, at the grass, anywhere but at the angel beside him. He did that sometimes. It made Aziraphale remember the fight they’d had there, a hundred and fifty or more years before. They’d both said things they regretted, perhaps Aziraphale most of all.

He waited for Crowley to demand an apology. He’d waited for years. But, as usual, the demon didn’t say a word, just tugged at the chain around his neck.

As the sun began to set, Crowley offered to walk him back to the shop. They walked, side-by-side, conversation all faded to companionable silence.

It was so strange, not needing to worry, not looking over his shoulder in fear of Gabriel and the others. Just being in the moment. Enjoying it.

It felt liberating. It felt right. It felt…honest.

Speaking of honesty.

There were things he should say. Things he should have said last night, or the evening before, at the bandstand; or eleven years ago; or centuries past.

He just didn’t know how to begin, and the shop was here, the door in front of him, the knob in his hand.

Now or never, as they say; but Aziraphale realized with a sinking sensation that it probably wasn’t going to be now.

“Well. I suppose…” He tapped his thumb on the knob, trying to smile. “I mean, it’s been a – a lovely evening. I’m so glad we…ah, but this is where I say…”

“Angel.” Crowley had his hands in his pockets, scowling furiously at the ground. “Can I come in?”

“Can – I – well, Crowley, you’re – you’re always welcome here, but…perhaps tonight…”

“Won’t take long.” Now he was mumbling, shoulders hunched. “But I can’t…not on the street.”

Aziraphale’s palms began to sweat, his heart racing. Oh. Crowley wanted to say…to say…

Was Aziraphale ready for this? It was too soon. Too fast. They needed to know how to be safe, needed to set rules and boundaries and—

No. No, they didn’t. It was a new world, one where they were free to be…to find out what they could be, he supposed.

“For a few minutes, then. Come along, my dear fellow.”

Once inside, Crowley walked straight to the back room, moving around the bottles of liquor on Aziraphale’s shelf. He pulled out the Cognac Aziraphale had bought in France, ages ago, the one he was saving for…something. He didn’t know what; only who he would be sharing it with on that day.

He didn’t object. There was plenty to celebrate today.

And something in Crowley’s face terrified him.

“Have a seat, Angel,” he said, as if this were his shop.

Aziraphale sank into a chair, pressing his palms flat to the table. “Crowley…we have a lot to talk about. I should start by saying that – that I’ve always considered you—”

“No, Aziraphale. I go first.” Crowley placed two glasses next to the Cognac, but didn’t pour. Before he sat, he shifted the seat, closer to Aziraphale, as close as he had at the Ritz, closer. He carefully arranged his long limbs so they didn’t touch Aziraphale’s, but he could feel the warmth of them. “I’m – I could have done this any time in the last seven months. But, well, it was never safe.” His thumb tugged at the silver chain again. “We couldn’t afford it. The distraction, the…everything. Especially not last night when…when I most wanted to…”

“Crowley, what on Earth are you talking about?” Less than a minute and this conversation was already wildly off-course. Aziraphale didn’t think he could take any more unexpected twists, not after this week. “I think perhaps we should wait—”

“No, let me just…” He stretched his hands out, until they hovered beside Aziraphale’s temples. “Angel…I want to show you something. It happened…a long time ago, but…you should know about it. Right now.”

“Oh.” A memory transference? He’d heard of things like this, but never experienced it for himself. From a demon, no less? “Are you…are you quite sure it’s safe?”

“Perfectly harmless.” He was clearly trying to keep his tone light, but Aziraphale could read every line of tension on his face.

“I think you should tell me…” No. He hadn’t always trusted Crowley, not when he should have, but that changed now. If Crowley needed to start their new lives with a demonstration of faith, Aziraphale would provide that. “Alright. Show me what—”

Long fingers brushed his temples—

Memories filled his mind—

It's the 5 days before Christmas when our Elves gear up for their last days with us. They have jammies, cookies, hot chocolate, a movie, and tickets to see Disney on Ice to leave us before Santa picks them up. Today they give notice before they pack their elf bags. Wonder who will find them first??? #elvesontheshelf #5daysbeforechristmas

The Whole Truth - 8

(I don’t know if this is the shortest chapter I’ve ever written, but it’s up there!)

For the Tumblr links:

Prologue: Sunday, After the Apocalypse

Friday, 1999

Epilogue: Saturday, 1999

Epilogue: Sunday, Twenty Years Later

Crowley pulled his hands away from Aziraphale’s head. The angel sat there, eyes closed, not moving.

It would take a few minutes, he knew. He tried to keep himself busy, pouring two glasses of Cognac. Tipped his glasses down his nose, slid them back on, then took them off entirely, tossed them on the table.

Should he have brought flowers? Should he have done this on the sofa? What if it didn’t work?

He didn’t think it was supposed to take this long.

Just as the panic was starting to set in, blue eyes fluttered and blinked open. Aziraphale frowned, a crease in his brow, and glanced around the shop, at the bottle, at Crowley, sitting beside him.

“Did…” Crowley swallowed. “Do you…remember?”

He barely had time to register the brilliant smile before Aziraphale had grabbed his face, pulled him close. Kissed him over, and over, with more passion, more hunger than he ever thought possible. Crowley’s hands found his lapels, drew him closer, closer.

After several minutes, Crowley broke away, tipping his head back. “Your turn. Was there something you wanted to say?”

“I believe I’ve said quite enough, thank you.” Aziraphale pulled Crowley into his lap.

And didn’t let go for two days.
