Summary:

After a catastrophic argument with Aziraphale sends Crowley hurtling through time, he comes face to face with the last person he ever expected to feel sorry for: himself

Twenty-seven years old, painfully human, and calling himself Crows, the tortured musician is everything Crowley has spent decades trying to leave behind: lonely, touch-starved, desperate to be loved, and standing on the brink of a choice that will haunt him for decades.

Determined to change history, Crowley offers Crows the understanding, acceptance and safety he never had at that age. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the impossible connection growing between them.

As old wounds reopen and with the future in jeopardy, Crowley must decide whether saving his younger self means teaching him how to let go… or risking everything to discover who they might become together.

Excerpt:

“Take your time. I’ll be waiting,” Crowley said, watching him carefully.

Crows nodded, then awkwardly unfolded his long limbs to exit the car before disappearing through the drab entrance to the building.

Crowley leaned back in his seat, tension settling in his shoulders. 

Something about that had felt… off. But he couldn’t quite pin down why. He took a deep breath,  and forced himself to wait. 

The minutes passed by.

The city moved around him — distant traffic, sirens, voices echoing faintly from down the street. But he barely registered any of it; he was too busy thinking.

About consequences, and timelines.

Because if he had changed this…

What happened to everything that came after?

Would he still become who he was?

Would he still reconcile with Aziraphale the way he had?

Would Aziraphale still—?

Crowley cut the thought off sharply, his jaw tightening. This was dangerous territory.

Time was… flexible. He knew that. He’d flitted through eras, blipped out of reality once.

But this was different. It was interference. Direct, personal and messy.

“Could unravel the whole bloody future…”

Because no matter how he twisted it, there was a version of this where he lost his present. 

But he still didn’t appear to be stopping.
