Summary
Aziraphale was familiar with tall tales. Intimately familiar. He’d lied to God. Which...might still be sinking in, if he was perfectly honest.
The last time that angels had lied, it had led to the Fall; everybody knew that. So it followed, logically, that lying was bad. And that anyone who did it—well. But Aziraphale had had to lie, hadn’t he? He couldn’t have just said that he’d given away the sword, not when it had been entrusted to him; and yet, he couldn’t have not given it away, either, not when Adam and Eve had needed help. If there was someone in need of help, and you were able to provide it, how could you possibly say no? Well, in any case, Aziraphale didn’t have it in him.
All of which was to say, Aziraphale was an angel who was familiar with lies, and they were bad things; things that you only said when you had no other choice. They could cause a lot of pain. Which begged the question:
“Why are Adam and Eve lying to their child?”

Summary
The Dark Lord called him Wormtail in the Second War, just as James and Sirius and Remus had, just as the Dark Lord had in the First War a lifetime ago. But he said it differently.
“Wormtail,” said the Dark Lord, and meant I own you, I own your childhood, see what you have given freely to me, see this cross you have to bear, see how I know you. A strange mixture, intoxicating potion of guilt and fear and a little bit of pride.

Summary
Hell, it’s known as the bad afterlife, it could have a different name based on your beliefs, it’s the place you don’t want to end up in. At first, CatNap thought of the factory as hell, but then again his God, the Prototype, is in the factory, so wouldn’t thinking of Playtime Co. as being Hell be considered blasphemy?
Instead? of joining the Prototype's hivemind, CatNap goes to Hell, specifically the Hellaverse.
Takes place after CatNap’s death, in his perspective.Thanks to THEBIGGESTSHOTINTOWN for giving me this opportunity!

Monsters are just monsters, they need to eat something. But you make decisions entirely out your own free will, because you can. You aren't a monster, it isn't in your nature, you don't need to do it- but you do anyways. Because you like to.
Kotoko wanted to yell when she saw that text again. No one like the protagonist (like her) liked to kill, they had no choice! In that right, the text was wrong. In that definition the p̵̨̨̣̝͍̓̇̈́̅r̶̬̱̱͔̓̀̊ͅơ̵̼̠̙̿̃t̵̞̮̽͑̐a̷̯̼͈̜̺͉͑͘g̴̠̝̫̙̍͑͝s̴̱̟͑h̴̩͆̾͆̔͝e̴̟͂̑ were definitely monsters.
