ways_back_room | Summary -- Tonks' Bad Day at the Office

This summation will be the epitome of brevity, as I have to shortly go sell fall clothing to people in the middle of summer. Tonks arrives looking slightly worse than death warmed over. Crowley is concerned (!), and eventually makes her spill. They discuss when guilt is an appropriate emotion, and then Crowley goes on to fill Tonks in on the goings-on of the past few days. He bemoans his perpetual state of fucking idiocy. They ruminate on their strange friendship and Tonks sends him on his way to find Aziraphale. Meanwhile, Angelina arrives and wants to help, but Tonks is a bit wary of sharing this with someone she doesn't really know. They two have a very nice conversation, nonetheless. Finally, Charlie shows up looking panicked, having heard only bits of what happened to Tonks. He is comforting, funny, and rather protective. It's all very sweet, and actually not at all explicitly sexual, I'm afraid.
