Dear Lovely, Beautiful, Kind-Hearted Humans!

I'd very much appreciate if You'd help me find two fics on ao3 (I think it was ao3). I can't seem to find them anywhere, but I'm pretty sure they were real. Until season 3 comes out, I'm avoiding anything post season 2 related and revisiting old gems instead :)

So, there's a common theme in these two works:

In the first one, Aziraphale and Crowley go to an actual book-selling bookstore and as a result of an attempted gun robbery Crowley gets shot. I think he also tries to hide it from Aziraphale. The seller was a young woman and the guy with the gun was someone she knew. It was her that was initially in danger, I believe.

In the second one, somehow our sweethearts find themselves in a hostage situation and Crowley once again gets injured. The catch is that they are at the same time followed (?) by someone belonging to either of their old sides, so they can't miracle themselves out of the situation without giving away their location.

Thank You in advance!

Hello! I've tried looking for the first fic but haven't been able to find it. The second fic, though, will be...

Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire, and Back Again by 29Pieces (T)

A demonic assassin. A bank robbery in the wrong place at the wrong time. An angel and a demon forced to outwit their enemies without using miracles. They've been in bad spots before but this is one Crowley might not survive. Whump, shenanigans, and of course comfort.

Do any of our followers know the first fic?

"The district recreation club was the social center for the slum boys what the Y. M. C. A. was to their fellows at a slightly higher level of the social structure. At the age of fourteen, Williams was as tall and strong as most boys of sixteen or eighteen; and because of his fistic powers and general toughness was soon on terms of intimacy with members of the notorious Tanner Smith mob, which was then staging its last fight for control of the district (they lost out to the equally notorious Madden mob, which still controls that and other districts of the city). With other members of the mob, Williams took part in the various gangster activities; robbing freight cars, wharves, warehouses; exacting financial tributes from local store owners whom they terrorized with threats of bombing and other atrocities; but mainly in voting illegally and terrorizing non-Tammany voters on election day; and at other times terrorizing strikers or their employers (whichever side paid the most), and fighting with and raiding the headquarters of the Madden mob. Williams proved a valuable recruit and was soon as dangerous and skillful with a knife, club, or gun as he was with his clever fists.

Gradually he began going in with other gangsters for the more remunerative crimes (pay-roll robberies, safe-cracking, hold-ups, and the like); and before he was eighteen Williams was "keeping" a girl in a Broadway apartment and getting initiated into the night life of the city. His mother and sisters remained at the old home on West 49th Street, but Williams did not neglect them. He had long ago dropped even the pretence of legitimate work; but he contributed regularly and generously to the support of his mother and sisters and visited them almost daily.

Before he was twenty, Williams had been arrested a dozen times as a suspect in the various gangster killings and other activities of the city; but never did he serve a day in prison after appearing in court. The usual procedure (which the gangsters themselves preferred to formal arraignment and trial) was as follows: after a killing or robbery, the detectives would arrest and bring to headquarters any gangsters whom they could find, subject them to an intensive third degree (often beating them unmercifully), and then turn them loose when the beatings had failed to elicit evidence connecting them with the crime in question.

This was all a part of the regular routine of Williams's life; and while he took it as a matter of course, he had seen so much of corruption among detectives, district attorneys, and even judges that he came to have a strong hatred for representatives of law and order. Wise to the ways of the under-world, a shrewd and clever criminal who never worked except after laying carefully-thought-out plans, it was not until Williams tried to operate in a strange city, with gangsters he did not know, that he got into serious trouble.

In 1918, at the age of twenty, he was asked to come to Boston with three other gangsters to steal the pay roll of a large corporation. It was to be the Christmas pay roll, estimated at $60,000. Through some carelessness of the local tipsters, the information was inaccurate; so that Williams got only a comparatively small pay roll of $15,000, in the seizing of which he shot an armed guard who attempted to draw his gun. Because of the shooting (although the guard did not die for two years) and because of the prestige of the corporation, there was a great hue and cry about the crime. One of the Boston gangsters was arrested on suspicion.

Fearing a long prison term for himself, he implicated Williams and three other men. In spite of this, it is doubtful that Williams could have been convicted. The books of a New York firm of longshoremen showed that Williams and his pals had been working in New York on the day of the robbery! Thus did Williams plan his crimes before he went to work. But the man who had implicated him was persuaded to turn state's evidence; so, in spite of the efforts of a former district attorney, who had been paid a retainer of $3,000 to "fix" the case, Williams and his pals were given ten to fifteen-year terms in the state prison (the crooked ex-district attorney, by the way, was later disbarred and sent to prison at the time when two other district attorneys were disbarred and removed from office). The informer, as it happens, was killed within a few months.

Williams, as I came to know him in the prison, was in many ways a fine character. He was entirely reliable and honest with his friends, deceitful and treacherous with his enemies, and utterly without fear. He would never steal or harm poor people; he would select his victims solely from among the moneyed classes. From one point of view I have always found certain gangsters to be, on the whole, the very highest type of criminal. Although there are many hangers-on of a much lower grade in gang circles, the real gangster is in many ways a fellow who lives strictly up to a stern though predatory code of his own. I liked Williams, personally, better than any other criminal I have ever known.

But he was definitely antisocial in his attitude toward law and order and reformation. While he would admit the theoretical necessity of laws and policemen, he had seen so much of corruption in the ranks of law-enforcement officials that he knew himself to be no worse than many of these, and far better than some. He took the cynical attitude. "What the hell," he would say. "Everybody's out for the money. Get it, long as you don't have to take it from some poor bastard that can't afford to lose it. But get it. Once you've got it, nobody cares ---- where you got it."

When he left prison, after serving a little more than nine years, he merely became more cautious, going in for the bootleg and night-club racketeering which had developed during his years in prison. I met him in New York in the autumn of 1931. We were discussing the state of affairs in regard to unemployment and the slackness in racketeering profits. "It's pretty tough," said Williams. "I've got my apartment and my mother's home to keep up. My two sisters are married and their husbands haven't had work for months. There's not much money in the rackets, the way things are nowadays." I asked him, in view of this, how he was able to keep up his own establishment and his mother's and also help his sisters keep alive during the current depression.

"There's only one thing to do," said Williams. "I'm doing it, and so is almost every one I know. Grab a gun and go out and steal!" In his various attitudes and general character, Williams was typical of his kind of criminal.

THOUGHTS REGARDING TODAY

TCINLA

AUG 2, 2023

On November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln asked the essential question about this constitutional democratic republic:

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”

That is the essential question: How long can a self-governing republic endure before it is torn apart by internal dissension?

Every other Republic in history before the United States was founded has self-destructed.

We have in our own lifetimes seen other republics fall to anti-democratic authoritarian movements and their leaders, popularly supported by at least a significant minority of that nation’s citizens.

This is an extraordinary day. There has never been one like it in our lifetimes in terms of importance to the country. Today it was reaffirmed that no one is above the rule of law, and that includes a president who committed the crime of attempting to destroy the government he had been elected to lead and had sworn to protect.

No other country has successfully prosecuted a criminal of the dimensions of Donald Trump; there has not existed the national will, the political cohesion, the strength of the rule of law to accomplish such an act.

Such events led to the most terrible war in the history of humans on this planet; it took nearly the entire population of the planet to change that result and hold one of these Great Criminals and the movement he led to account for their crimes against humanity.

If we accomplish this, we will truly be the Exceptional Country. The one and only country to demonstrate that the strength of our national character and the power of our commitment to the rule of law is sufficient to deal with this crisis.

The indictment reads: “The attack on our nation’s Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of American democracy. As described in the indictment, it was fueled by lies – lies by the defendant targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government: the nation’s process of collecting, counting and certifying the results of the presidential election.”

The Trump campaign responded thus to the indictment: “This is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election, in which President Trump is the undisputed frontrunner, and leading by substantial margins.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 2024 GOP contender responded: “As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans. While I’ve seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts. Washington, DC is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality. One of the reasons our country is in decline is the politicization of the rule of law. No more excuses – I will end the weaponization of the federal government.”

This is a sad day, a day when we have to ask ourselves how a man so manifestly and obviously unfit to hold any elected office was elected to the highest office we have. How has our country failed to educate a significant minority of the citizens to hold the democratic constitutional republic as the sacred trust that it is?

This is also a great day because this Great Criminal has been held to account for his crimes.

Fortunately, this Great Criminal by his 2016 victory awakened the rest of us from our slumber, from our thoughtless assumption that “it can’t happen here.” It most obviously happen here and came within 44,000 votes in 2020 of becoming the permanent end of this experiment in self rule.

If we do not do everything possible to prevent its return, 2024 will definitely mark that end.

Donald Trump was an armed robber. He attempted, by violence, to rob us of our right to choose our leaders in free and fair elections (or elections as close to that ideal as we can achieve).

It is clear that there is a political party that favors an assault on democracy. That party, so long as it is led by the current authoritarians, cannot ever be allowed to take any degree of national power until that condition has ended.

In 1787, upon completion of the work of the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin was asked what had been created.

He answered, “A Republic - if you can keep it.”

The responsibility of keeping it is in the hands of all of us, where it has always resided.

We can no longer assume anything about its continued existence.

As with everything else, it’s up to us.

Today is a sad day that this happened. It is a great day that we have awakened to the threat and shown ourselves capable of keeping this republic.

Sherlock

A brilliant update of the classic Conan-Doyle creation for the 21st century. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are exceptional (even if I wouldn't sleep with either of them, they'll be relieved to hear). Nice robbery scene here, though: leather gloves, masks, weapon. All my favourite ingredients.

"GETS TWO YEARS FOR 32 CENT ROBBERY," Windsor Record. December 22, 1913. Page 1. ---- Negro Sentenced to Kingston for Holding up Stranger - Accomplice Freed. ---- Convicted of holding up and robbing James Lamb, whom he volunteered to show to a rooming house, Wallace Watson, a Negro, was sentenced to two years in Kingston penitentiary at hard labor. The case was heard by Judge J. O. Dromgole at a sitting of criminal court held at Sandwich, Saturday. James Lockman, who was convicted of being an accomplice of Watson's was allowed to go on suspended sentence, the court holding that Lockman was held in to the holdup by Watson.

According to Lamb, he met the men at the Walker house where they had a few drinks. Later on he inquired where he could find a rooming house and Watson said he would show him. When an old shed was reached in the rear of a wood yard, Lamb claims the men held him up and took all his money, which amounted to 32 cents. Watson has served time before for different offences and the court decided to give him a stiff sentence as a warning to others who might be inclined in the same channels.

[Watson was all of 19, born in Windsor, a 'common labourer' and he had already served a term in the Central Prison in Toronto. He was convict #F-703 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in the quarry and stone cutters. He was reported twice, once in December 1914 and again in May 1915, for talking and inappropriate language, and lost 15 days remission. He was released in late fall 1915. His sentencing occasioned a mini-newspaper scandal when the Kingston Daily British Whig, repeating a Toronto press story and reporting on his arrival to the penitentiary, noted he had received 2 years whereas a man found guilty of a sexual assault against a minor was only fined. The Whig, remarkably, was insinuating a racial bias as well as 'illogical' hierarchy of sentencing. This forced the Windsor Record to defend this disparity in sentencing, pointing to technical differences and criminal records.]
