Summary
A retelling of John and Claire’s story in The Breakfast Club (written and directed by John Hughes, 1985), starring Ares and Aphrodite from Lore Olympus. I realise I saw this movie way too young and Judd Nelson gave me a TYPE.
The fic takes place across the closing scene of The Breakfast Club, with Ares and Aphrodite reflecting back on the events of the movie most relevant to their subplot. It includes a quote from Changes by David Bowie, which opens the movie, and multiple quotes from We Are Not Alone by Karla Devito, that the characters dance to in one scene.

Summary
They're like a train wreck - you just can't look away from the mess that are Alhaitham and Kaveh.
Tighnari swears he'd lose his mind if he and Cyno didn't understand the importance of mutual respect in a relationship. He's already struggling not to snap at his two friends who make things way more complicated than they need to be simply by being too stubborn to accept things that don't align with their world views.
People tend to think that the Acting Grand Sage has no emotions, but Tighnari knows that that's not true. If there is one thing those two have in common it's that neither are very expressive about their emotions, for vastly different reasons.Over time, Tighnari has made a few observations:
Kaveh is almost explosive and intense with the way emotion shines from him, yet he takes great care to undermine the light in his chest, disguising it as a dim glimmer instead.
Alhaitham's expressions are very direct, but can not be detected in the daylight for his light is a glow-in-the-dark nightlight instead.Or;
Tighnari is tired of watching Kaveh and Alhaitham's dysfunctional relationship and takes it upon himself to give the blockheads some couple's therapy.

Summary
A hurt Crowley hangs around Maggie and Nina, slowly healing and trying to find a meaning to his life, while Aziraphale deals with Heaven, trying to avoid the end of the world while keeping everybody he cares about safe. But they've never achieved anything when apart from each other, so the only way to stop the Second Coming will be to talk through their issues, fix their relationship, and get some allies. A reluctant Messiah, some supernatural beings not so happy with the destruction dance Heaven and Hell seem to be engaged on, and a pair of humans that wonder time and again why the hell did they help save a bookshop.
Unexpected allies, spy games and conspiracies, while Nina's shop gets an influx of occult forces in desperate need of coffee.

“That's why I didn't do it. I was scared.”
“I'd never hurt you, angel. Not that kind of demon.”
“It's not you I'm scared of! I... what kind of angel am I, for wanting so many things?”
-----
"Angel, please. Don’t fall for me.”
“Oh, I’m sure I won’t. See, that’s the scam. You don’t fall for being bad. You can be as cruel as you want as long as you’re still useful. Don’t question things, and you can get away with murder."

Summary
The way he sees it, there are three ways out of this situation. One: he tells Alastor he knows that he’s still hurt and offers to heal the wound through touch, which will take approximately an hour, after which they never have to speak again. That one’s mostly a bust simply because Lucifer reckons Alastor won’t let him get past the first part without mauling him.
Two: he lets Alastor die of being a stubborn, pissy bastard. This one’s not really an option considering the whole reason he’s going through all of this trouble is so that Charlie will stop worrying. Killing him won’t stop the worrying, no matter how much he wishes it would.
Finally, unfortunately the only feasible plan, is to siphon the poison from the wound over time. Slowly imbuing Alastor’s soul with his own, tainted holy energy in order to heal the wound over several days.
***
In which Lucifer heals Alastor's Adam Wound but it's not exactly what you'd expect. Enemies to begrudging friends(?) read to find out :)
