"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

Essek was seated on the couch in the living room. Caleb stepped up behind him and, wrapping his arms around his shoulders, leaned his brow against the crown of Essek’s head. Essek made a small noise of greeting and raised a hand to rest at the nape of Caleb’s neck. His fingers worked their way underneath Caleb’s ponytail and scratched gently at his scalp. Caleb sighed, a haze of contentment settling over him at the touch. Essek tilted his head back, running his nose along the length of Caleb’s. “Hello, dear,” he said. “Hallo.”

my thoughts on aziraphale and crowley are as follows:
both of them kinda suck sometimes?? and um... isn't the entire point of the fucking story humanity? being human, which is inherently not good or bad. so the fact that aziraphale and crowley act human... it's the entire point!!! Aziraphale makes absolutely awful decisions sometimes. Crowley dances around his true intentions. Both of them are absolutely shit at communication. Neither of them are inherently good/bad because they're not meant to be. Their side is the side of humanity.
They've both got their own issues, and right now it is very apparent, but they've always had this sort of tension. This was just the culmination of 6,000 years of it. They'll be okay, and they'll figure it out. Just like humans do. But please, stop thinking of either of them as saints or evil because... the whole point is that they're human (figuratively).
A quiet evening in the library with Jayce and Sky. Everything is peaceful and maybe they're even happy
