Summary
"...it never felt fair to ask anyone to be my partner while I was still half in the closet.”
Crowley shrugged a shoulder. “Admirable."
“Do you think so? I am glad. I thought it might have been stupid of me.” He felt his face warm and he flicked a glance at his glass, considering the level of the sherry. This wasn’t the man he’d come here to meet, he reminded himself. This wasn’t a date.
“Didn’t say it wasn’t stupid,” Crowley drawled, that tug at the corner of his sardonic mouth twitching again. He leaned forward then, his neck stretching as he leant his chin on his hand. “No rule saying something can’t be two things at once.”
Crowley would know.

Summary
These are short one shots from the Saving Eden universe that either I felt slowed the story too much or were thought of or written after the original story was already published. The date or month the “deleted scene” is from will spear at the top. You can go read the chapter from the original parts of the series to orient it in their relationship if you want!
We are starting with a mature rating for basically trauma, but it could go up to E if I write any lil steamy bits.
This will not have a regular update schedule as it’s more whenever I feel like writing, so better to bookmark if you want to visit these boys...

Summary
Anthony Crowley was going blind.
He'd been informed eleven months ago when it had become apparent his distance vision was getting worse and he’d reluctantly gone in to have it checked out. Ever since the shock had blunted, he’d been preparing. When the glasses no longer helped, he'd given up driving and sold his car. He'd taken up learning braille despite his near vision still being passable, just because he knew, eventually, he'd need to.
Thankfully, with over twenty years working at quite the prestigious law firm, he could even prepare for early retirement, a goal he’d already had anyway. He was in his late forties. If he could stick it out for a couple more years doing consultation, there would be enough money to go on for quite a while, (a good thirty, thirty-five years) if he was smart about it .... The point was, he'd planned. He could be okay. He would be fine.
Anthony Crowley had planned his future, in a minimalist flat he knew by heart and a world that would gradually lose its definition.
What he hadn't prepared for was a soft, gentle voice and a bright blur of pale features, and the yearning they would set off like a firework in his heart.

Second Circle by thisisshiny

Summary
1909. Edwardian London, where love is criminal and literature is dangerous.
Mr. Aziraphale Fell runs a respectable Soho bookshop with secrets hidden behind false shelves. Mr. Anthony Crowley writes scandalous poetry much too honest for publication. When they meet over a forbidden copy of Baudelaire, they recognize something dangerous and captivating in each other: the refusal to be silent.
Together, they publish a time bomb of a book. Second Circle – forty-two poems about queer love and resistance that could send them both to prison.
This is the story of what that choice costs them – and why it was worth it.

Summary
Anthony J. Crowley isn’t up to much these days.
In fact, you could almost say his days as a rockstar are pretty much behind him. Rotting in bed all day, with half-written songs plaguing him and no lyrics to speak of, everything points to his career being over for good.
That is until Maggie, his manager, claims to have found him the perfect lyricist to get him out of his slump. And what better way to get the creative juices flowing than spending a whole month together in a secluded cottage on the Isle of Skye?
Provided Crowley’s attempts at making the man run for the hills aren’t successful…*
“You wrote these lyrics,” Crowley repeated just to make sure he’d understood correctly. “The lyrics about sucking dick. You wrote them.”
The stranger wrinkled his nose, a blush appearing on his rounded cheeks. “Well, it’s actually meant to be an exploration of taste and touch as a way to connect with another person, as well as a metaphor for–”
“Sucking dick,” Crowley completed for him.
“Mmh,” the man hummed noncommittally, lips pursed in both annoyance and embarrassment.Series

Summary
Crowley and Aziraphale’s entire relationship spanned just a little under eleven months. If dissected, the entire affair can be categorized very neatly into three parts: a rocky beginning, a rocky middle, and a rocky end.
It devastates Crowley, how something that was so promising and held so much potential could end in such a shitstorm. Diminished to nothing but a hungover, sad, and lonely stain on his couch, Crowley is left to wonder if it was always going to end this way— or if it’s ended yet at all.
