Good Omens: East of Eden by Shati
East of Eden (Cain-Abel, Crowley-Aziraphale | PG13 | 3,009 words) is the story of Cain and Abel with Crawly and Aziraphale as the boys' uncles. It's humorous in the beginning and gets tragic as the story progresses. This has a Crowley and Azirapahle I can believe in.
Excerpt:
Aziraphale was humming cheerfully as he stirred a pot of something foul-smelling over a fire. "Oh, Cain," he said as the child entered. "Come in, dear boy. Your supper's almost ready."
"I gotta naminal," the boy announced. "Look." He lifted Crawly proudly, and the demon was sure that his scales reddened. "He's cute, but he's kinda dumb." Crawly hissed.
The angel turned around, smiling, and froze the instant his eyes landed on the serpent. "Cain!" he squeaked. "Put that down right now. Very carefully."
"Don't wanna." Cain's lower lip quivered ominously.
"My dear," said Aziraphale, in a reasonable tone, "please put the snake down, or Uncle Aziraphale shall be very upset." He reached behind him and seized a long stick of wood from the fire. It sparked and glittered with flames. "Now, Cain . . ."
"Hardly a flaming sword, that," said Crawly. The angel gave him a sharp look, and glanced back at the child.
