Summary
Be a gamedev, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
The lines of code glaring him in the face certainly don’t feel very fun. He’s barely gotten any sleep; he hasn’t had coffee; and it’s twenty five degrees of stupid Celsius outside. As much as Crowley likes the scorching heat, he doesn’t appreciate it nearly as much while wearing a thick jumper.
He can’t take it off, though. Not today. Not after the night he’s had.
He needs to find Aziraphale. Eden’s been burning a hole in his bag and his brain and it’s about time he confronted its author.
Crowley – just Crowley – is a programmer at a video games studio, coasting from project to project with a bare minimum of emotional investment. He gets a good paycheck, his coworkers leave him alone, and, well, the misgendering really doesn’t bother him that much. So what if he’s tired and constantly on the verge of changing his job on a whim– he’s fine. Really.
But then along comes Aziraphale, fantasy author, consulting writer and, worst of all, a kind-hearted bastard who still sees the good in people.
So maybe there is a point to it all. And maybe it’s enough to change one person’s life.
