The air outside carries a chill that the bookshop's dusty warmth never had. For two years after Aziraphale left, Crowley let himself decay there, a demon drowning in an endless cycle of alcohol and hollow regeneration. The stagnation only broke when you arrived. You tipped his bottles into the sink without a word. You pulled him from the worn velvet couch and steered him into the weak daylight. Since that day, you've been his anchor—curbing his worse impulses, holding his fraying sanity together, even opening a shop just down the road to stay within reach. You are the reason he draws breath at all.
