A story with two bonus scenes/epilogues!

Title: Castles in the Sand
Recipient: irisbleufic
Author: miscellanny
Pairing: Brian/Wensleydale, Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: G
Notes: “Are you yeti,” Brian warbled, “are you yeti for love, yes I am, are you?”

“I- told you,” Wensley grumbled, “it wasn’t a yeti!”

“I say we let him have it,” Adam said.

( 'I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.' - Isaac Newton )

Oooh, excellent bits of darkness mixed in there. Good on the Them for standing up to Adam when he needs it. I like your diction. It's lovely!

And so it was that Aziraphale set off at the head of quite the most inelegant procession there had likely ever been: two ethereal beings, a valkyrie on the war-path, and a stocky youth pushing an invalid sprawled in a gently squeaking wheelbarrow.

"Imagine," he said softly to Crowley as they toiled along the winding path that led down to the booming sea, "what the world would be like if we were even remotely competent."

Crowley gave him a quick look, unreadable behind dark glasses.

"I'm not sure I want to." Aziraphale's stomach lurched as Crowley's fingers brushed his, tentative at first and then coming back to rest there. "I'm not sure I'd want to change anything," he said.

That's got to be my favorite part <3

There's so much going on here, so much creepy beauty and Them-ness. I do love a good story about the Them (one of my favorites from last year, I seem to remember, was Adam/Pepper/Brian/Wens amazingness), and this is certainly joining my small cache of bookmarks ASAP. Aziraphale and Crowley being involved, of course, ( ... )
