Chapter 15: 14. Historical Setting
Summary:
Two families with a big secret. A desperate need for an heir. Aziraphale and Crowley are thrown together as the only two who could maintain their families’ reputation and carry on their lineage.
Notes:
This prompt hits a few things, which is excellent for my WIPs collection :P One is historical setting, which was from Ineffable Family February 2025 but I couldn’t fit into my plans then. And the second is a tweet from onelastunicorn (I think during the same event but I could be wrong) talking about things she’d like to see and that is “historical marriage of convenience turned romance where an heir is needed (first comes pregnancy, then comes love! INSTEAD)”. Obviously peaked my interest! And the last thing is that I realized I had 3 ‘historical’ or at least ‘arrangement’ type things in Breedvember for Aziraphale and Crowley (all in a heterosexual relationship, but very much not all of them cis) and realized that I was missing one combo. That was trans man Crowley and trans woman Aziraphale, so obviously I had to rectify that!

Thus, this does fit the T4T prompt, but I had another idea for that before I realized that I could make this T4T and that it would make it all full circle, so there will be a different story for T4T :)
And as a note, this is very much like my Breedvember historical prompt – set in a weird pseudo-Regency/Victorian whatever the hell I want it to be time period, where some things would be particularly Victorian period accurate, but much is a blending of pop culture depictions of those areas and also whatever the hell I want it to be for Plot (or lack thereof) reasons :)

“If one is outed, then so is the other. A mutual ceasefire,” he continued, grin getting wider. “But with much more material benefits. Mr. Eastgate, Mrs. Eastgate, we accept your offer,” he said with only a glance at his wife. “Now, if we might have some discussion of a dowry…”
Aziraphale and Mr. Crowley sat in stunned silence as without even a pretense of soliciting their input, their parents arranged the rest of their lives right over their heads.
Once arguments had been had and agreements had been made, the elder gentlemen shook hands as their wives did the same. “Well Miss Eastgate,” Mr. Crowley said as turned from her father, “it’s settled. Welcome to family Crowley.”
Aziraphale only smiled woodenly and prayed that her and her husband would at the very least tolerate each other.
Two families have the same secret and a need for an heir, and Aziraphale and Crowley are the only match that could let them keep up appearances.
