    Summary

    Fresh off a bitter divorce, Aziraphale fabricates a perfect marriage to get hired at a wedding magazine—just a stepping stone on the way to his dream career. It's a foolproof plan, until he needs to produce said husband for the magazine's annual couples retreat.

    Enter Crowley, his best friend's mysterious cousin, who agrees, for his own reasons, to play fake husband for a week—no strings attached, no messy complications.

    One problem: the more Aziraphale discovers about the real man behind the act, the less fake his feelings become.

    Aziraphale thought the hardest part would be fooling everyone else…

    Summary

    Two London snobs (accomplished professionals highly respected in their fields, thank you very much) are forced to stop and reconsider their life and career choices after a horrible summer. Strongly encouraged by their entourage to take a break and reconnect with nature, whatever that means, they find themselves on the same idyllic Scottish island by some strange twist of fate. New neighbours and temporary owners of two nearly identical cottages that are in desperate need of new plumbing and better kitchens, burned out actor Aziraphale and disgraced chef Crowley can’t stop running into each other.
    Autumn on the Isle of Skye is rainy and lonely, and everyone needs some company. And if the company is so good that parting seems unbearable, it’s just part of the magic of the island, surely. Afterall, they only have one autumn.

    Summary

    Crowley cringed as soon as he stepped into the room. He wasn’t quite sure what he’d expected, letting his friend sign him up for an LGBT-friendly dance class, but, well, it wasn’t the airy, bright dance studio that, by all accounts, looked like every other studio out there. Anathema had something to answer for.
    ----
    “Oh he’s lovely!” Newt piped up.

    Crowley blinked, surprised by the enthusiastic description – and the way both Tracy and Shadwell nodded eagerly as if Newt had just assured him the sun rose in the East.

    “Regular angel, this Fell?” He asked awkwardly, unsure what to make of the high praise.

    “Oh hardly. They exaggerate.” A new voice chimed in from behind him. His back stiffened automatically, the sound of the voice like a caress up Crowley’s spine. The accent was formal, as close to RP as he’d ever heard a normal human speak.

    He turned around to look at the owner of that voice, desperately hoping it to be someone unattractive.

    No such luck.
