comment_fic: "hope is a lie - this is where angels die". Aziraphale/Crowley deathfic.

They found them after the battle: an angel lying still and silent, deep in the Devil's half of the field, cradled gently in a demon's arms against the horrors that surrounded them. Despite the chaos and the cruelty around them, the angel lay untouched, his single wound a swift, sure stroke into his heart, and by the demon's trembling hand there lay a sword.
"They didn't hurt him," the demon whispered hollowly, and in his eyes there was no victory, only a love enacted without hope, and that last and terrible mercy that had been all he'd had to give.
