Summary
{Once Upon A Time…
There was a red-haired sorcerer who lived alone in a high tower, and a blond prince who lived in a palace full of people. And they were both of them desperately lonely.
The Kingdoms of Empyrion and the Sorcerers of Apollyon have hated each other for hundreds of years, ever since the Great War. They do not interact, other than to occasionally try to kill one another. And they certainly do not make friends.
Crow is an exhausted sorcerer who just wants everyone to leave him the hell alone: for the Sorcerer’s Council to stop harassing him to live up to his potential, and for wannabe Empyrion Heroes to stop attacking his tower to try and kill him. Until one day when he meets Prince Azra of the High Fells, who doesn’t behave anything like he’s supposed to…
Part fairy tale, part fantasy, all love story. There’s magic, and grand romantic gestures, and Heroes and a handsome Prince, and a Villain. There are even some wild heroics, though not necessarily from who you would expect. At its core it’s simply about two (relatively) sane people living in a mad world who find each other.
The smut isn’t until later chapters.}

If i loved you less... (ineffables in the regency) by angelsnuffbox (MrsCaulfield), MrsCaulfield
Fandom Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
18 Jul 2021
Summary
A collection of my Good Omens Regency era AUs, as I find I'm quite fond of writing them. The fics in this series aren't at all connected with one another and may each be read on their own.
Title taken from a quote from Jane Austen's 'Emma' : "I cannot make speeches. If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more."

Summary
‘Hello, my dear.’
Crowley bit his lip for a couple of seconds before he took a deep breath and just went with it.
‘Would you like to go for a coffee sometime?’
There was silence at the other end.
Oh shit.
‘That was my friend messing around with my phone…?’
‘You do realise that only works over text.’
‘Myeah.’
Why was he like this? He had wanted to kill Bea for doing the same thing and yet here he was, doing the thing. At Bea’s behest, mind you.
‘I would love to go for coffee. Oh, and cake!’Aziraphale is a very rich and successful writer. Crowley is at the worst possible moment of his life - living off Bee's couch and posting his mum's fairy tales on some random sites only to be ignored by everyone except one random person simply called A.
This is a story about how both of our main protagonists get over the ghosts of their pasts, learn to work together and maybe - just maybe - fall in love in the process.Not to mention that all of the characters that we love (hate - looking at you, Gabe) make an appearance.

The Ghost Of Your Past And Mine by apocalypsenah, ineffablefool
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)

Summary
Twenty-one years ago, two strangers met in a bookshop. One was a teenage delinquent, tired of hanging around the wrong people, and fascinated by the fat, pretty boy employed amongst the books. The other was a university student, well accustomed to being found boring, who wished the first one would go away.
Today, two best friends continue to meet in a bookshop. Neither has realized that the other is by now deeply in love with him. And neither has realized, just yet, how both of their pasts will be coming back to haunt them -- and how they can only defeat that shared ghost together.

The Ineffable Love Agency of Anathema Device by AccroV

Summary
Anathema Device is a matchmaker and the proud owner of the Ineffable love agency. Since she started her business five years ago, she had only successes. All the couples she put together are perfect for each other. Her 100% rate success made her famous. Nobody knows how she does it. Some are saying she is a witch.
Aziraphale Fell is a fussy bookshop owner who hadn't found true love. He is a romantic, well that's what he wrote on his questionnaire for Miss Device. He likes classical music, theater, long walks in the parc, tartan and, of course, books.
Anthony J. Crowley owns a nightclub. He thinks true love doesn't exist and doesn't believe that Anathema, his best friend, has any power and frankly, why is he answering this fucking questionnaire ? He likes Queen, cars (his Bentley), black clothes and, of course, plants.
Anathema Device's next success will be Aziraphale and Anthony.
