The Bentley has a soul. The Bentley was a good car. That means that after it exploded, the Bentley went to Heaven. Heaven is not thrilled about this. Or: It's a lovely day in Heaven, and you are a horrible Bentley...

"Nay, dear lord," she said, "that choice is long over. There is now no ship that would bear me hence, and I must indeed abide the Doom of Men." This is a story about Arwen's choice as the last ship that could bear her to the Undying Lands departs.

The wine was dark, a swirling blackness with ruby borders and surface as smooth as finest silk, as reflective as a mirror. It reflected fire... It was the time of the Spanish Inquisition and Crowley came too late. Centuries later, the memory of flames in a burning bookshop dances in a glass of whiskey. Crowley was too late again. Then there is also a third reflection.

Earth is six days old and Adam is naming all the creatures in the garden, but misses something. Aziraphale founds out he's missing something, too. What could it be? And how close was Hastur from being named Jumpy?

Sometimes Elrond talks to the star of Eärendil, shining in the sky as a symbol of hope. Sometimes his hope is somewhere else. (This is a tale about the relationship between Aragorn and Elrond growing and being tested, put into perspective by Elrond's relationship to his own father Eärendil.)

When Aziraphale calls Crowley to tell him that he is hurt, the demon rushes to the bookshop to find a perfectly healthy angel - with the exception of a tiny papercut. But Crowley knows - it's not about the papercut at all. The papercut is just an excuse.

The first time they met, Aziraphale was a queen of Númenor called Ar-Zimraphel and Crowley used to be called Sauron. The second time they met, Aziraphale wore the form of a Hobbit and Crowley was a dragon. The third time they met, Aziraphale has been stung by a giant spider while trying to free Crowley from the power of the Ring.

Raphael has spent the last 6000 years over his research, believing that Heaven is in good hands and he doesn't need to concern himself with politics. He's in for a surprise after he finds out that his knowledge was used in a attempt to execute an angel immune to hellfire... Meanwhile Hell has other ideas about how to punish their traitor.

There is something wrong with Aziraphale today and Crowley needs to figure out what and/or coax the angel to tell him. Cutting the ties that held you for 6000 years can hurt. A lot.

The morale in Heaven and Hell is low after the failed Apocalypse. Punishing the traitors (effectively this time) seems like a good idea to raise it for both sides - the angels would see what awaits them if they dare to disobey and the demons could just use some fun. And then there is someone else as well - someone who's grudge is even more personal.

It is 1941, just a few weeks after a church (but no book) has been destroyed by a bomb and a demonic intervention. Aziraphale prays. He prays for strength as he is holding a building from collapsing and taking innocent lives. Crowley prays that he arrives in time. And someone listens to those prayers.

Crowley was punished after saving Aziraphale from the Bastille. Or so he thinks. The demons have a different opinion about the brand he is wearing now. But Aziraphale is on his side and helps him to get rid of it, even if the process is not pleasant for either of them. (Based on art by Whiteley Foster.)

Aziraphale is now free from Heaven's restrictions and has no limit on the miracles he can do other than his own power. With Christmas approaching, he gets a bit carried away with those and has to bear the consequences. Luckily Crowley is there to share the load.

Inspired by Poetic Edda, a collection of my poems from Middle-earth. Most of them rhyme and are in different fixed forms.

After the bookshop fire, Crowley prays. He does not pray to God, though... (A short illustrated poem)

Brother Francis and nanny Ashtoreth encounter some trouble in their jobs, in which the other one from the duo might actually be better (especially given the fact that the last time Aziraphale tended to a garden was 6000 years ago and it was a very different type of garden).

Aziraphale is filling the paperwork required to get a new body. In the report about his discorporation (involving Arthur, Mordred and a knight in black armour), he has to bend the truth a little. One can't admit fraternising with the enemy in an official document, after all...

An angel and a demon took each other's place at a trial meant to obliterate their very existence. They emerged from it victorious, but not unchanged. Together, they are trying to deal with their experiences in Heaven and Hell and find a place in the world where they don't belong to any side but their own.

The verses about Aragorn in Gandalf's letter were written by Bilbo. This is a story about the relationship of the Ranger and the Hobbit, and the events that inspired each of those verses.
