My goal for this month was to post fics at least three times a week. That goal has, shall we say, not been realized. I’ve been writing every day, though, and have amassed about 18k on my current WIP -- approximately 5k of which has gone into my “holding cell” folder, also known as the “this no longer works so let’s trash it but still preserve it because I can’t stand to throw it out” pile.
Just for giggles (or, more likely, groans), here’s an early rough scene that got yanked, in which I discovered that I have absolutely no idea how people play footsie or how to write such a thing.
WIP discard pile #1
One of the very best things about being unemployed, Crowley decided, was that he no longer had to hide it when he gazed adoringly at his angel. They no longer had to hide at all. Breaking the habits of six millennia, of the intricate dance around their feelings and the terror and hurt and miscommunications, was not simple, and there had been many unexpected bumps and potholes in the road. When one of them said the wrong thing or went too far — and Crowley knew it was always a matter of when and not if — they had promised each other they’d stay and talk about it, intentions and effects and how to do better in the future. No more fleeing, no more decades-long naps. It was exhilarating, and rather terrifying.
They were getting better at it, though, this open communication thing. And they had time now to practice.
“More tiramisu, angel? I don’t think I’ll finish mine.”
Aziraphale dabbed his mouth with his napkin. “Oh, I shouldn’t.”
“Just go to waste otherwise.” Crowley nudged the half-empty dessert plate across the table. “Be a shame if it just got thrown out. Go on, you know you want to.”
“Well,” he dithered, more for show than anything, and a teasing smile tweaked the corners of his lips. “All right, you’ve tempted me into it.”
“’Swhat I do, angel. Your own personal temptation demon. Practically an act of charity, keeping me off the streets like this, letting me tempt you instead of random humans.”
Aziraphale smirked around a spoonful of tiramisu. Swallowing, he said lightly, “Who knows how many souls I’ve saved from your wicked wiles?” A brogued toe nudged against Crowley’s instep.
“Oh, countless, I expect. Tons and tons of souls.”
“Then I suppose I’ll just have to keep you around a while longer, my love. For the good of humanity, of course.” The toe slid higher, circling Crowley’s pointy ankle bone.
“Of course.” Crowley solemnly sipped his drink as he allowed his own foot to twine around Aziraphale’s calf. He’d be blessed if he’d break first.
Aziraphale’s left eyebrow twitched, but he recovered quickly, retaliating with a toe-up-the-trouser-cuff move that made Crowley’s eyes widen behind his sunglasses. “Did I tell you I have some new books on order?”
“I’m shocked, angel. So unlike you.” There: that spot behind the angelic knee. It was a vulnerability, but required a delicate touch and a bit of a stretch.
“Ahem. Er, yes, some lovely volumes came up for, ah, auction online. I’m particularly excited about Foxe’s Actes and Monuments. Sixteen thirty-two, original leather binding, absolutely gorgeous engravings. Not very accurate text, I’m afraid — he got a bit carried away writing some of the lives of the martyrs.” Putting down his spoon on the scraped-clean plate, Aziraphale shot an impish glance at Crowley, scooted down in his chair a bit, and went for the kill: a long, slow slide up the inner calf and ending with a delicate flourish above the knee.
That did it: Crowley couldn’t help grinning and squeaking in delight. How did such a noise even come out of him? Mortifying. “You win, angel, you win.”
The napkin made a repeat appearance, dabbing at smug lips. “I always do, my love. Now, I wonder what your forfeit should be?” His eyes sparkled as he reached for Crowley’s hand and squeezed it.
“Got anything in mind?” Crowley said.
“One or two things, perhaps.”
Ooh, that sounded promising. Clearing his throat, Crowley raised a hand a little more eagerly and a little less suavely than he might have intended. “Cheque, please.”

And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you

Parables of Yeshua
Ch. 4: Parable of Yeshua
It's been over nineteen hundred years and Crowley still hates Easter. Between that and a hangover, not even a lunch date with a certain associate may be enough to cheer him up.
