    Summary

    Gabriel and Beelzebub come to Aziraphale's bookshop together. Neither Crowley nor Aziraphale are very happy with this turn of events. And nothing ever goes unnoticed on Whickber Street.

    Or, in which I rewrite Season 2 so that the final fifteen never has to happen, give lots of attention to people who showed up for two seconds, and annoy our favourite characters to no end.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI – "Well, there's nothing wrong with feeling nervous. Especially in our line of work."

    CONCEPTUALIZATION [Trivial: Success] – It comes with the territory.

    KIM KITSURAGI – A delicate pause. "And it's okay if you're having trouble coping with that."

    "We all have our vices…"

    SUGGESTION [Medium: Success] – Seems like he might've caught onto the fact that you're not entirely sober.

    AUTHORITY [Trivial: Success] – Oh, don't let him *preach* to you.

    YOU – "I'm not even drunk."

    KIM KITSURAGI – Kim doesn't say a word, but you can *feel* him raise an unimpressed eyebrow in your direction.

    YOU – "Okay," you immediately concede, "I'm drunk."

    ---

    A couple of weeks after Martinaise, Kim calls Harry to check in on him. Harry has not been coping well with his reintroduction to reality.

    Summary

    You’ve been having strange dreams. Awful dreams, dreams in which Kim dies, every night. You think someone’s trying to tell you something…

    SHIVERS: They are.

    Excerpt:
    KIM KITSURAGI: “Harry. You were - making noise.”

    INLAND EMPIRE: Moaning. Crying out.

    KIM KITSURAGI: In the dark - the only light the streetlight and the neon glow from the Frittte cast in through the window - he looks unreal.

    CONCEPTUALIZATION: Ghostly.

    HALF LIGHT: His eyes. You can’t see his eyes.

    INTERFACING: You have to land a hand on his knee, to see if he’s real.

    KIM KITSURAGI: He’s warm with sleep. He makes a surprised noise, but doesn’t pull away.

    Summary

    KIM KITSURAGI - Across from you is a Seolite man–slight in figure, middle-aged–who is wearing the sort of vintage jacket that’s cheap here in Revachol but could go for hundreds of reál back home, if you took it to the right shop. He’s sitting in the center of your chaise lounge.

    EMPATHY (COGNITIVE) - He wants to appear comfortable. He isn’t, though.

    EMPATHY (AFFECTIVE) - Also, he hates you. Like, he really, really hates you.

    YOU - are Svala Löfgren, and you are a Clinical Psychoanalyst, Second Class, for the Revachol Safety and Wellness Initiatives Ancillary Clinic. And Mr. Kitsuragi, here, is only your first appointment in what is going to be a very long day.

    Summary

    Kim steps forward to set a firm hand on Harry’s shoulder. “Some things are out of our control. We help in the way we can.”

    Harry’s gaze drops to Kim’s hand. Before he can take it off, Harry’s arm is reaching up, crossing over his chest, larger hand covering Kim’s gloved hand.

    In the shadow of broken street lamps and dim window light, Harry's gentle gaze meeting his own--Harry's a type of terror he has never allowed himself to confront.

    or, Harry wears his faults on his sleeves and Kim has voltas inscribed on his ribcage to keep his at bay.
