All The Earthly Languages Which Ever Were Or Will Be

by Blossomwitch

Aziraphale has known for a long time that something was wrong with Crowley's memory. He learns to navigate it. Learns to hide the hurt when Crowley acts like he doesn't know Aziraphale loves him; learns to always remind Crowley to protect himself, that they are a danger to each other. Crowley speaks to Aziraphale in thousands of languages, says I love you every way but with words, and still Aziraphale can never be certain what he doesn't remember and what he simply chooses not to speak of. And so Aziraphale tries to explain, to someone who does not have the memories to understand, the choice he has made.

Silence

time after time

by arenathesia

Genshin Impact (Video Game)

the rain will soften and

by the_untamed_poet25

A sob wrenched itself from Neuvillette’s throat, foreign and fractured, breaking him apart from the inside out. His shoulders trembled, his vision blurred, and he realized—too late, always too late—that he had never truly prepared for this. That knowing and understanding were two very different things. Because knowing that Wriothesley would die someday had never meant he would be ready for a world without him. Or the rain keeps falling. And Neuvillette keeps remembering.
