Summary: Back in the days before the Arrangement, there was a terribly big flood. There was also a stowaway demon and an angel who hitched a ride on the Ark. Complete with rain, Babylonian wine, and requisite slashiness.

One of the things that keeps coming up in this fic is “companionable silence.” It’s one of those things you don’t appreciate until you’ve had time to really build up a good relationship with someone. That’s really what the core of this fic is–Crowley and Aziraphale getting to the point where they can have their Arrangement. It’s pleasant and warm, like a nice cup of tea of coffee you sip at and just enjoy the flavors of.

This is probably the only fic that actually takes place in Bible, erm, canon (though I use that term loosely). It takes a fairly liberal take on the old story, though, bringing up some of the modern criticism of the Noah’s Ark story–the physics of fitting animals onto a boat, the philosophical debate of how every person on Earth but this one family can be considered ‘evil’, and what God meant to accomplish with such wholesale destruction of house and home. All in a humorous, typically GO sort of way, of course.

(Looking for more fic recs?)
