Xover (Dark Is Rising/Good Omens): Ice Cold by Daegaer

[coprime_recs]

Ice Cold (Bran-Will, Aziraphale | PG | 4,020 words) goes along with In the Bleak Midwinter and Shades of Grey. In it, Bran meets with Aziraphale and Will to witness something. I do like the different portrayal of Will and Bran's relationship without it feeling forced. And, thankfully since I want happy endings, this story offers a ray of hope for Bran and Will that "Shades of Grey" doesn't.

Excerpt:
'I don't answer to the Dark,' Will said haughtily.

The angel began to laugh. Bran looked at Will's expression and felt like laughing too.

'My dear boy,' the angel said. 'I'm a friend of Merriman's. How is the old reprobate?'

'He's an angel, Will. Have you lost your sight?' Bran said mockingly, and Will scowled, opening his mouth to say something.

'I do understand it's traditional for young men to metaphorically compare the size of their -- equipment,' the angel said dryly, 'but do let's not stand around here all day.'

Will and Bran looked at him, and exchanged glances.

'"Equipment?"' Will mouthed.

'You English are very prudish,' Bran said, and saw a quick grin flit over Will's face. For a moment he felt sorry they were no longer friends.
