Good Omens: Drabbles
Descriptive writing is my friend. Dialogue is not everything. Honest.
Touched
The sound of his wings stretching out to their full breadth - muscles flexing and bones popping as the feathers spread to block out the sun - still rings in their ears. The sight of layer upon layer of brilliantly white, perfectly sculpted feathers is burnt into each man's retinas. The currents of air that caressed their skin as his wings beat scoured patterns into their flesh now aching like the sear of acid. Even the bitter taste of adrenaline remains in each and every mouth.
Somewhere that isn't here, there exist men whose lives will never be touched by an angel.

Snakes are cold blooded creatures. Everyone knows that. They cannot maintain a constant body temperature, instead relying on external heat sources to keep their metabolisms up to speed. Cold snakes are sluggish; hold one for any length of time and you will see it become more active as it absorbs your own excess body heat.
Curled up against his angel's chest - angelic hands tangled tight in demonic hair, demonic arms wrapped around angelic torso - Crowley felt a quiet, gentle faith in humanity seep back into him. It'd all work out all right in the end, he was sure of that.
