Lost and Found

God's Ineffable Game

You both go back to the kitchen for your breakfast but find that it has gone cold. "Oh dear. Here let me fix that." He says with a snap. The food is instantly brought back to optimal temperature. "How can you still do miracles?" "Well the power just comes from below." He chuckles as he points to the floor. "Oh I see." You take your breakfast into the shop and find Aziraphale placing his silverware on the empty plate.
"Absolutely scrumptious dear." "Better than revolutionary Paris, France?" Aziraphale just smiles at Crowley before he returns his plate to the kitchen. You begin to eat but aren't interested in the food and the men notice. "My Star are you ok?" You breathe out and look up at them. "I want to know why heaven did what it did to the fallen. What other horrific things have they done in the name of the Almighty?" The men look at each other and shrug. "Please tell me. I need to know the truth about who I'm serving." You plead and Anthony pulls you closer to him. "We'll tell you (Y/N) but it may upset you." "I don't care I need to know. I have to know what she did to you." You cup his face in your hand as tears prickle your eyes.

You listen as they explain the ineffable game the Almighty likes to play. With every passing story you become more and more upset. Your body responds to this stress by causing some of your feathers to shed. "My Star you have to calm down. Your feathers are falling out." Anthony says with concern as he shows you a hand full of them. "Show me your serpent form Anthony. I need to see it." Anthony looks at Aziraphale for guidance. "I think you should show her. She is your wife after all." Anthony slowly nods and transforms into the serpent of Eden. You study his form as you hesitantly bring your hand up to the creature. You begin to pet it down it's scaled back and he moves closer to you. "You're a pretty snake. Would you happen to have any apples to tempt me with." You giggle as he flicks his tongue against your cheek. "That's enough Anthony change back now." He nuzzles his head against your neck before changing form. "So you want an apple?" He teases as he makes one appear in his hand. "I like apples. It's not evil right?" "Nope just your average Earth apple darling. See." He takes a bite of it then hands it to you. "Who knew a demon could be so cute when he's around the girl he loves." Aziraphale teases and Crowley glares. "I'm not cute."

Aziraphale takes your dishes and washes them. Crowley follows him to the kitchen leaving you on the couch for a moment. "Angel?" "Yes Crowley?" "Do you think I could take (Y/N) out?" "Take her out where?" "I don't know maybe a ride in the Bentley? The park? Show her my flat? We have so much catching up to do. I thought I'd never see her again but here she is." "I don't know Crowley. I'm supposed to be keeping her safe. She's the Almighty's favorite star maker ." "She's the only star maker angel. I'll keep her safe, I mean I am her husband. Do you trust me?" "Seriously Crowley do you really need me to answer that?" Aziraphale sighs as he dries his hands. "Do you angel?" "Yes you silly serpent." "Ah I love hearing you say it." Crowley chuckles as he helps put away the dishes from breakfast. "So I can take her today?" "Yes just be careful. If word got out I let her get involved with my demon friend it wouldn't just be bad news for us but her as well. We have our own messes with our respective head offices. I don't want her getting tangled in it too." "I know angel. Trees and ducks have ears. I'll be careful." "And don't go too fast in your car. Don't want her getting discorporated." "Yeah that would be bad."

While you were alone with your thoughts you became more and more angry with God. All of those horrible things she's done but turn around and preach peace and love. How she gave you love for Anthony only to be ripped away from you. She didn't even sooth your broken heart. She just told you to go back to work and not ask questions. You did as you were told like a good star maker but the pain was still there. You can hear the men coming back into the shop so you quickly fixed your face to not raise suspicion. You put your wings away so they don't notice the increasing missing feathers.
