    Summary

    “It isn’t like that…” Oscar's vision was a haze in the low light, eyes fixed on the carpet under his feet “…I could never regret you,” the next word came out in barely more than a whisper, “Charlie," he just wanted to feel it on his tongue again.

    Despite the hushed tone, Noel heard it by the way he turned and looked at Oscar with an unsettled expression. Oscar could see it in his periphery, wary with a pinch of anger.

    “How do you know my name?”

    “You told it to me,” Oscar's voice came out weak and broken, if only because he knew he'd never be able to stay here, “you asked me to call you that.”

    Summary

    What are you supposed to do when you've been fired from your sweet job in Hell for thwarting the schemes of Satan, you've got a swanky flat in Mayfair, and you're looking for an excuse to spend all your time in someone else's bookshop? Obviously, you turn to the dubious world of short-term vacation rentals.

    The resulting Airbnb property has been variously described as "an instagram trap," "a vampire den but make it botanical," and "the weirdest bed and breakfast in the shared history of beds and breakfasting."

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    Forty years after the holy water incident, Aziraphale and Crowley still haven’t spoken. That is, until they come to on the floor of an unfamiliar cottage and are presented with a very specific conundrum by their superiors.

    “Excuse me, what?” Aziraphale says.
    Beelzebub stares at him like he’s stupid. “You two got a month.” They look between him and Crowley. “Yeah? One of you’s got to kill the other one, or both of you die.”
    “Oh, and you can’t leave,” Gabriel says. “Equalizes the playing field. We’re really looking forward to this, you know.”
    “We?”
    “All of Heaven.”
    “And all of Hell. So don’t muck it up, Crowley,” Beelzebub sneers.

    Summary

    Every 300 years, Heaven and Hell share a company retreat on Earth during which angels and demons temporarily surrender their celestial powers.

    Officially, it’s a time for fostering team unity and better understanding the needs of the client base. It’s definitely not a time for terrorizing the hotel staff with divine/diabolical showdowns, abusing the ethereal expense account, or furiously snogging your hereditary enemy. But when Aziraphale and Crowley are up for promotion, Hell breaks loose and Heaven might just break free.
