    Summary

    Aziraphale was fairly certain he was on a date.  But he couldn’t be one hundred percent sure, not without asking outright. 

    After all, he and Crowley went out to dinner all the time, walked together in the park all the time, went to see a play or a film or a show together all the time.  A lot of the things they did together, come to think, would qualify as dates by human standards.  It wasn’t out of the ordinary for Crowley to swing by at random and invite Aziraphale out, as he had done earlier. 

    But there was something about the way Crowley kept smiling at him, gentle and unusually soft in the warm candlelight of their dinner, his inhibitions lowered by the bottle of wine they were sharing, that made Aziraphale think their dinner might be more than just an outing between friends.  That idea scared him, just a little, a fear borne of six thousand years of repression and paranoia.  But Aziraphale couldn’t deny that he was more than ready, if Crowley was, to take their relationship in a more romantic direction.

    Summary

    Essa grinned, leaned forward.  “I think that Mr. Fell’s husband is a vampire!”  That pronouncement got immediate and violent reactions from both of her friends. 

    “What?” Rory screeched. 

    At the same time, Sev exclaimed, “That’s not possible!” 

    “Did he try to drink your blood?” Rory asked eagerly, leaning forward onto her hands. 

    “Nah,” Essa replied, not wanting to admit that that hadn't even occurred to her. 

    “Then, what?” Sev demanded.  “Why d’you think he’s a vampire?” 

    “He dresses all in black,” Essa explained with the air of someone very wise generously dispensing their wisdom.  “And everyone knows that only vampires dress all in black.  And he was wearing sunglasses indoors, probably on account of his vampire mind-control powers.  And he was sleeping during the day, which was prolly cuz vampires are nocturnal.  And he has fangs.  Saw ‘em myself.  There’s obviously no other explanation, ‘cept he’s a vampire.”

    Christ, Beth, Anthony Crowley is an increasingly popular, openly queer creator with explicitly queer rep in his work that’s really important to some people, can you not make this into a meme for ONCE in your life?
