Summary
The remains of the bookshop slump on its corner, blackened and mangled, no more than a shamble of bones and broken glass. The windows yawn into empty, hollow sockets; the front doors hang from their hinges, twisted and splintered by heat. Bricks have fallen here and there from the upper floors, littering the ground like so many teeth.
The careful gold lettering above the door, A.Z. Fell and Co., has been scorched away.
*After Armageddon, Crowley takes Aziraphale to see the bookshop.

Summary
Before moving into the new flat, Aziraphale had never considered himself mad.
Aziraphale is quite fond of his new flat, even if the new tenant never got rid of his hideous furniture and there's a strange portrait of a man he's never met hanging on the wall.
When the mysterious footsteps begin, though, he begins to reconsider.

Summary
It's sometime later, still dark or maybe dark again, when the door to his flat opens. He wakes, startles, then whimpers. Every tiny movement feels like the knives are still hacking away at him. Where was their cold efficiency then? No, they'd wanted him to suffer. They'd succeeded.
"Oh." That voice again, and in the room this time. Crowley would weep, but he's not sure when he last stopped. "Oh," Aziraphale says again, "oh, Crowley."
"They took them," Crowley moans, pitiful even to his own ears. "They took my wings."

Summary
Said I, a few weeks ago: "I feel there’s also room for e.g. bedsharing fic where the apocalypse has Not Happened and they’ve fallen into queerplatonic (or so they think) bedsharing and Crowley thinks he’s alone in being driven slowly to distraction by it, so he says nothing. Then one night he wakes when it’s still dark, and at first he doesn’t know why, until he hears Aziraphale’s breathing a little raspier than usual, and feels the very slight trembling of the bed."
And lo, that is exactly what this is.

Summary
AU, retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”. Quite honestly, sending Aziraphale off into the forest to be held hostage by a giant snake in a cursed castle isn’t even the worst thing Gabriel’s ever done to him, and at least it means a change of scene. But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting…

"Heaven and Earth are currently experiencing connectivity issues.
Miracles may be temporarily unable to function.
We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve this matter."

Summary
Hastur spies Crowley and Aziraphale switching bodies after their tribunal, and plots his revenge. The two are forced to find their courage and confront the truth between them. Featuring angsty mistaken identity shenanigans, two beings who can't seem to talk about their feelings, Denial as a river in Egypt, and the sword Excalibur!
Standalone, canon-compliant work. Complete.
Aziraphale raised his hands to his temples, sweeping the square for prying eyes and ears. “Nobody,” said the angel. “Right. Swap back, then.” They grasped each other’s hands. In a fluid sweep, Aziraphale became Crowley, and Crowley became Aziraphale again.
Unfortunately, that is where Crowley - who had been wearing Aziraphale’s face - had been wrong about the state of surveillance in Berkeley Square. Hastur, Duke of Hell, lurked behind them, near the refuse bins. His fury blended in perfectly with the malodour of decomposing food waste and dog shit, like maggots on a choice bit of roadkill. Noticeable if you prodded the corpse in the appropriate places, but why would you? Crowley’s sweep had slid right over Hastur, like a tourist’s eyes over a tramp.Series

Summary
Crowley has a revelation in the shower. Not the world-ending sort or the getting-laid sort, but one of the far less fun sorts. The sort that leads you to realize that something has somehow gone very wrong. Most likely, anyway. Maybe.
Heaven, why him?
(Fan Cover Art by my own Eldest Podling.)Author's Notes: This story can be read as a Standalone, OR as part of the series (located on Squidge). Innocuous came first, and nothing changes what it is--
a lovenote to footnotesan excellent GO story.The footnotes work if the story is read chapter by chapter, the footnotes map properly, but not as Entire Work.
BIG NOTE: I'm moving most of my content to Squidgeworld. My pseud is flamethrower; you can download PDFs, ePubs, & Mobi files on Squidge for easy reading just like you can on AO3.

Gilded Cage by LadyMango

Summary
Small like birds, angels and demons are kept in cages by humans and treated as pets.
Everyone knows that angels and demons don’t get along, but when two humans decide to move in together one already has a pet angel and the other a demon. No problem, they’ll just keep them in separate rooms, they’ll never meet. Except, little do they know, the demon is highly skilled at escaping his cage…
Aka. What if Crowley and Aziraphale were basically glorified budgies?

Summary
“There’s an enchanted castle West in the Hellian slopes, and apparently it comes with a prince looking for a bride or bridegroom to free him from a dark fae’s curse.”
“I see,” Aziraphale says finally, when he realizes both Gabriel and Uriel are staring at him expectantly. “You want me to marry a beast?”
Gabriel's mouth flattens. “I want you to take this gods’ blessed opportunity to secure your family’s future for good."
OR
Aziraphale is a professional quest hero who just wants to sit by the fire and read a book, if his overbearing family will ever let him; Crowley is a serpent demon who needs a gullible hero he can con into gathering some critical ingredients for a human corporation spell. Hijinks and a lot of terribly inconvenient feelings ensue.

Summary
This is Crowley’s problem— he’s always been too damn curious for his own good. Once he gets an idea in his head, something stupid and dangerous like What if I teamed up with an angel to stop Armageddon? or How fast can I go in this massive car down Oxford Street? he simply cannot let it go until he sees it through to the other end.
So now, as he probes at that secret place inside the long hallway of his heart, the dark door behind which he’s stowed over a thousand of years of pent-up longing, the question he knows he wouldn’t be able to rest until he answers is: What if I let myself feel it all?

Summary
In the heart of a bustling fantastical city, Mr. Fell’s Arcane Tomes and Curiosities supplies illustrious adventurers with magical weaponry and armor. One fateful day, a regular customer brings Mr. Fell a strange instrument inscribed with demonic script, which turns out to be a prison for an unlucky lamia demon named Crowley. As far as demons go, Crowley seems to be more disgruntled and sarcastic than outright evil – and all he wants is to be released from his prison.
And Mr. Fell has problems of his own: he has no memory of who or what he is. He’s plagued by illnesses and terrifying dreams. Deep within, he believes he might not be human at all, but something much more powerful – and much more dangerous. Mr. Fell’s life is hardly stable to begin with, and Crowley might be the catalyst that causes it to crash down for good.

Summary
Armageddidn't has brought a rewarding end to the long, difficult dance between Crowley and his Angel.
But Crowley's got another important relationship. And that's a problem.
The lobby presented them with the peculiar tableau of the day concierge, a woman normally of grey-coiffed, formidable severity, hunkered on her stylish heels atop the reception desk while she spoke into a telephone handset.“No, I need someone right away. Tuesday won’t do. I tell you he was right up next to my keyboard, eating my Hob Nobs… Well, if you can’t, then I’ll just have to call another exterminator. This is an exclusive building, we can’t have giant rats sauntering round bold as brass –– Oh, Mister Crowley. Ah – I –– you’ve got a bit of mail – “ She looked nervously down at the floor, peered under the desk, tucking her knees together in a gymnastic agony of propriety.
“It can wait, Amelia.”

Summary
It started under the mistletoe on a winter night in Soho, 1881. Or perhaps it started in a flower-strewn cave in Mesopotamia.
Wherever it started, it's become a tradition for Aziraphale and Crowley to meet (almost) every festive season. Just one night where they don't have to hide their feelings for each other. It starts with a kiss, but it's always meant so much more.
This is part UST-fuelled slow burn and part soft, soft historical-to-modern romance.
Written over a month for @forineffablereasons (Tumblr) Ineffable Advent prompt list.

Summary
It wasn't as though his interest in Aziraphale was entirely appropriate. Of course it wasn't bloody appropriate. He was consorting with the Enemy, nothing about it was appropriate.
