    Summary

    There's a new shopkeeper on Whickber Street! The newcomer is a comic book seller named Anthony Crowley, a flamboyant character who blasts heavy metal music at full volume, and whose shop is a chaotic mess. Far too boisterous for Aziraphale's delicate nerves.
    Their two worlds will clash in the eternal battle between books and comic books. Aziraphale is determined to convert Crowley to the world of literature, a glaring gap in his life; Crowley, on the other hand, is set on broadening Aziraphale’s horizons by introducing him to the world of graphic novels. Will they manage to win each other over?

    Or:
    A fluff-filled fic with a shy and fidgety bookseller and an extroverted and rebel (a lil bit Pre-Fall coded) comic book seller. With Christmas cheer on the side. And basically it's also all an excuse to recommend lots of books and graphic novels to everyone.

    (✨ NOW COMPLETE ✨)
    About the Rating: 95% of the fic reads as M rated, but there’s one chapter with E rated smut in it (addressed in the opening notes of said chapter, and skippable) + another small bit (addressed as well).

    Summary

    “…Angel?”

    “Yes, Crowley?”

    “Mebbe sing us that lullaby?”

    [...] Azekiel closes his eyes, and sings the words that his mother’s voice had woven into the air above his bed on countless evenings of his childhood.


    It's Azekiel's mother's lullaby from Sky Clear Blue. That's it, that's all it is 🙂

    Summary

    The year is 1809. Crowley’s friend Jane is a master smuggler of both goods and information who seems to know exactly who people are and how they act. She asks Crowley’s help with a larger robbery she has been planning, and Crowley agrees without hesitation. Meanwhile Aziraphale has been helping her friend, a brilliant author Miss Austen revise her novel manuscripts in the hopes that they could one day be published for the wider audiences. Aziraphale finds the books witty, innovative character studies of British gentry, but getting a romance novel written by a woman published in the early 1800s would take a real miracle.

    When Aziraphale accompanies Jane to a ball, they run into Crowley, and all three are surprised by the other two being acquainted. Although the angel and the demon are happy to not poke further into each other’s businesses with Miss Austen, Jane seems to be convinced her two friends are in the middle of a great love story like from one of her novels and need some encouragement to admit their true feelings.

    Summary

    Aziraphale set his jaw and met Crowley’s gaze defiantly. “I’m getting rid of them,” he said adamantly. “I can just push them aside,” he insisted. “She can’t keep doing this, Crowley–” he cut himself off from saying more, from speaking into the world his fear that she, like the man in the temple, wouldn’t survive the polluted air much longer.

    It was only then that Aziraphale realized that Crowley’s face had pulled into a wide, uneven grin. “You don’t have to convince me, angel,” he said warmly.

    Together, they clambered down, hands reaching over each other, limbs briefly entwining and parting like the threads of their lives had ever been in the tapestry of history. The pattern ended with them standing side by side, a matched pair.
