Chapter 6 - If Only
Trust (noun): firm belief in the nature, reliability or strength of someone or something.
A black Bentley flew into Soho.
It did so in a manner betraying the driver hadn’t taken a single driving lesson in his life and instead relied on miracles to bully the rest of traffic into submission around him, but was now at least attempting to be just a little more considerate for the sake of his less speed-loving passenger.
Said passenger still clung on for dear life, but the driver’s gesture did not go unappreciated. Both wore giddy smiles.
I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things…

Chapter 5 - Wrath
Wrath (noun): the act of anger turned sinful when directed against an innocent, when it is unduly strong, or when it desires excessive punishment or misfortune.
New Year’s Day had come and gone, and said new year was in full swing now.
Almost three months had passed since Crowley had reached all seven divine virtues, and at no point had Hell made a move to punish him for it; there’d been no more demonic activity or unexpected visits from Below. Crowley had been quite certain that Xaphan’s endeavour had been such an unbelievable fiasco that the Lords of Hell would think thrice before they tried anything n

Chapter 4 - Humility
Humility (noun): the expression of an appropriate self regard, that is neither having pride nor indulging in self-deprecation; an honest appreciation of one’s talents, skills and virtues, the self one has achieved.
“I’ve done a lot for Hell, haven’t I.”
Aziraphale looked over. Crowley was staring ahead, expression obscured by his sunglasses. “Well, we both served our head offices when we had to, as much as we had to.”
“I tempted and cursed away. I led humans into tons of interesting situations they by all rights should’ve loathed me for afterwards, though not all e

Chapter 3 - Sloth
Sloth (noun): a cessation of motion and an indifference to work; it finds expression in laziness, idleness, and indolence.
The plants were concerned.
Of course, they always were; the Mayfair flat was always permeated by at least a low-grade aura of botanical fear, occasionally spiking into dreadful anticipation or mortal terror whenever Master Crowley did his thing, but this… this was something else.
And he hadn’t even been hissing his promises to the poor young apple shoot on the pedestal, either.
Master Crowley was pacing, and he wasn’t paying attention to any of the verdant ranks. This could mean an

Chapter 2 - Temperance
Temperance (noun): restraint from excesses of or cravings for extravagant material luxury, food or drink through calm discipline, self-control and balance; satisfaction and contentment with what one presently has.
Neither of them had really kept track of time, so they didn’t know whether it was late or already early when Crowley eventually departed into the noisy Soho night. Aziraphale watched him go, leaning against a bookcase with a warm, slightly hazy expression. He only raised an eyebrow as the demon bent down and picked a small sheet of paper off the floor of the bookshop proper before opening the door and

Circumstances (and Crowley) convince Aziraphale to complete committing the seven cardinal sins – he was already over halfway anyway, as it turns out. However, not without convincing the demon to catch up on his principal virtues.
Shenanigans, emotions and revelations ensue as the connection between our angel and demon deepens, and some issues get a much-needed sorting out.

Neil Gaiman suggested Good Omens’ demons are their creatures, not the human forms underneath (the Ratatouille theory). I really love snakes. I couldn't help finishing that train of thought.

Alright, so here was the point. The point was…
The point, the angel and the demon had thought, of preventing the end of the world, had been to keep things exactly as they were. To keep intact and unchanged everything they loved about Earth, that wonderful and strange little planet they’d been tasked to watch over and tamper with in equal measure.
Instead, the point of everything that came after Arm

“Let me tempt you to a spot of lunch?”
A brief considering look, a near-instant smile and gleeful little wiggle. “Temptation accomplished!”
Two figures rose from a park bench in London, the day the Earth’s hourglass had been turned over and given another go. Then, without any further temptation or even plain suggestion required, the more angelically inclined of the two spoke up: “What about the Ritz? I believe a table for two has just miraculously come free!”
The demon looked over, pleasantly

Snake eyes, black wings
On holy ground your skin stings
You were among the first to Fall
God’s Great Plan? oh sod it all
White wings, soft smiles
You’re always there to thwart his wiles
It took a while to come around
But now the Earth is common ground
Demon, angel, not so different
Both sides had you obedient
Worried for the other’s sake
Six thousand years, a lot at stake
Hell’s mercy, Heaven’s grace
Tasteless jokes in the final days
In the end, humanity shone;
The son of man refused his throne
And as for you, sweet angel, snake?
At last it’s time for you to wake
It’s time for you to leave the gar

Jinx had been right. Areion wasn’t ready for this.
The air over the bats’ valley thrummed with the noise of the airships, but all Jinx could hear was her own heartbeat, and her mount wasn’t much better off. His ears swiveled fearfully and erratically, and his fluttering wings carried him erratically – up towards the airships, back towards the bat cavern, away towards the open sky over the mountains. Jinx and Kniff didn’t have a chance to drop down to an airship’s deck. Jinx didn’t have a hold on him, and small wonder. This was pure, untamed panic, and her commands had barely any effect.
Maybe she shou

Chapter 22 – Untamed
Night in the Golden Mountain Range, and a single campfire was the only light source in the reinforced dwarven encampment in the shadow of the cliff. Sturdy tents were ringed by stake-covered barricades, their shadows flickering in the dry underbrush.
This was one of five encampments in the mouth of the fertile Azril river valley, defending the farms and small villages dotting the area. The dwarven farmers had seen more wolves than they were used to, more than they could keep at bay anymore, and there were also rumours going around about wolves with riders. Riders with sharp teeth and yellow eyes. Clan leader Branro

Hers is a soul like unworked basalt,
Rough and dark, born of fire
You’ll cut your hands if you attempt a climb.
Yet, it doesn’t close her off too well;
These walls are thick, but full of holes
And she can never stop the torrid light within from spilling.
His is a soul like walls of ice,
Exquisitely smooth, brilliantly blue
Impregnable, inescapable, a perfect façade.
But his walls hold a jewel, a shimmering prism,
Dancing, vibrant, alive
His is a love that could sunder worlds.
Outward, she is a nightmare
Devouring those that underestimate, miscalculate
Or dare to venture an attack.
Inward, there is a warmth, a trust

Jinx laughed in exhilaration, one hand around her rope. She hung next to the barrel of her indrathor outside the Reef Gates, with the best possible view of the destruction Estell had wrought. The dwarven fleet was stuck between the Reef and the inferno, ripe for the picking. Flying pirate ships swarmed out over them. Higher in the air, Veronica and Ralaer approached. She couldn’t be more proud – but the best was yet to come.
“Fire!” she shouted, almost drunk with excitement. For one breathless moment she hung there, full of expectation, her whole body braced for impact –
– and still fell down along the Reef

Regret welled up in his chest with slight bitterness, but the cool Everlightian night wind in his long hair still made it possible to enjoy the situation somewhat.
Estell Greenhaze turned away from the glorious combination of tropical canopies and star-strewn skies, and offered his undivided attention to a waking, sputtering captain Silver-Eye. Two Minions forced her upright so he could look her in the eye – as straight as was possible, as she was barely taller than Jinx.
“What – where –” Veronica started, jerking her shoulders, slowly realizing her hands were bound behind her back. Estell lay an armoured finger

Chapter 21 – Silver Sunrise
The black-feathered cassowary was the uncontested ruler of this part of the jungle, just east of the tsingy. It might be smaller than hornbeasts and grass bears, its gleaming blue neck unprotected by armour or even feathers, but it carried death itself on its clawed feet. It’d unleashed those claws on prey, predators and even the very well-armoured dwarves that’d attempted to start a settlement here years ago. In its territory? Over its dead body. More importantly, over all of theirs.
The dwarves had come, and the dwarves had left. They hadn’t been able to sustain their settlement amidst th

Moments of meticulous inspection
And thirium-pounding action
Dictate your nature and every reaction;
With you, there’s never room for distraction.
The perfect machine, but once in a while
Something slips through the cracks of your smile.
You’re quickly summed up with a clear definition:
Your models always accomplish their mission
A prototype’s program, a flawless logician
All you do of your own volition
Is strictly within your creators’ permission;
And yet, though with reluctant admission
There is that one little glaring condition
Of lethality’s omission.
