Soap finally conning Ghost into spending the holidays with his family. Soap who has a lovely mum and a handful of sister's who in turn, have their own gaggle of children.
It's incredibly sweet to see the bulky scott pack around a wee toddler with a too high ponytail rambling at him in an incomprehensible (to ghost) scottish accent.
Ghost doesn't know if he's more charmed by the toddler or by Soap who speaks with her as if she is grown.
Soap swigging at his beer with a little girl in a pink dress mimicking his every move with an ice cool refreshing apple juice. Sighing like a seasoned soldier herself. "Aye I understand, S'hard work being 4."
Like their uncle, the other little one's arent shy, piling around Ghost with glittering eyes and unyielding questions. He's patient, of course he is. Careful with his words while throwing in some cheesy jokes that break them out in giggles.
There is a certain ache in his chest though, a weight that always gets heavier this time of year. It had been some time since he had gathered with others like this. But Soap is almost as pleased as his mum that Ghost is staying. So he bares it.
One evening, one of the children calls for him. "Uncle Simon" falling from the toddlers mouth in a playful, high-pitched squeal as she bounded at him at full speed. He nearly misses her, just barely managing to scoop her up and hold her aloft from the gang of cousins that follow in a heated game of tag. More "Uncle Simons" follow in a chorus as the others accept the title with ease.
His heart feels just the slightest bit lighter.

To everyone who is upset at Aziraphale for acting the way he did when Crowley kissed him, for forgiving him, I say to you:
Do you think he did that because he wanted to?
Listen to Aziraphale say “I need you!” and tell me this angel isn’t hopelessly and desperately in love with this demon. Look at Aziraphale’s hands during the kiss. He wanted nothing more than to take Crowley in his arms and kiss him back. But that would have gotten them both in a lot of trouble.
Crowley is already risking serious trouble, but there’s something Aziraphale can do to prevent that, even if it breaks his heart.
He has to acknowledge that what Crowley did was Not Allowed.
So by “I forgive you,” Aziraphale was saying “I forgive you, because according to both of our sides, you did something wrong, and I don’t want you to get in trouble because I love you.”
And by “Don’t bother,” Crowley was saying “Do not forgive me because I have done nothing wrong, I am not sorry and I would do it again because I love you.”

ship dynamics ive thought about for nithvinn because i can think enough to put these into words now:
grump x sunshine (duh)
looks like they'd kill you (would kill you if not for the horrors) x looks like a cinnamon roll (will kill you because of the horrors)
struggling to read (needs glasses) x struggling to read (dyslexic)
babygirl (acquired babygirlification) x babygirl (innate babygirlification)
this is my contribution to society for today thank you for listening to my TED Talk
