and darkness the right hand of light.

together like lovers in kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.”

The Incredible Hulk by AldaratheAlbatross

Summary
It's the Incredible Hulk, but better. Betty gets more character and her own job. I'm not bound by the market and therefore can tell Bruce's origin story and it doesn't have to be confined to the opening credits. I don't take money from the U.S. military so I can make this an explicitly anti-military treatise. A mouse is experimented on, but then taken home and cared for for the rest of his steroid-enhanced life. There are a lot of nerdy jokes. Something for everyone!
I just really like the Hulk, okay? -

Summary
Nicky had not felt that particular flavor of guilt himself in many centuries, nor ever would again, but he recognized it like a blade to the heart. "Oh, Joe," he said softly. "They're all like us."
Nicky, Joe, and a very crowded ferry on what should have been an unremarkable evening in April 1895.

Summary
It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.
Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is.
Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho.
