Summary
[Finally Complete!] The Fell family ruled over the town and made it prosperous for generations thanks to a dark bargain they made with the Unseelie fae - binding the mysterious Groundskeeper to their service - but lately, the town has begun to suffer due to the family not upholding their end of the bargain. Aziraphale must return home to settle his father's estate and face the trauma he fled as a boy and the magical forces and people who want him to uphold the bargain… at the cost of his own life. Will Aziraphale sacrifice himself to save the townsfolk, or will there be another way he can satisfy the demands of the fae with his life intact?
“I expect the plants under my care to grow better,” the man snarled. Perhaps it was a trick of the light or a sudden and well-timed gust of wind, but the cabbage seemed to tremble at the man’s words. “This one is lucky that you intervened or it would be on its way to the compost heap.”
“Lucky indeed,” Aziraphale agreed. “I– I’m Aziraphale.”
The man examined his face with only slightly less scrutiny than he had afforded the cabbage. “Crowley,” he said. “I’m the groundskeeper.”

Summary
Post S1, 'things' are not progressing between himself and Aziraphale in the ways that Crowley had hoped they would. Instead, it's worse and, not only does Aziraphale show no inclination to deepen their relationship at all, but he actually looks as though he is ready to ditch Crowley for good.
As insurance against being left friendless and alone, Anathema advises Crowley to join an online friendship site. I am sure that no one needs me to tell them that things do not go quite the way that Crowley had thought they were going to...
Updates on a Sunday. Hopefully weekly, but be prepared for fortnightly :)

Summary
Crowley, a lonely, overworked botanical researcher, has only one thing to look forward to in his unchanging daily routine - walking though the community garden he helps to maintain in his local park, where he always passes the same handsome blond man, whom he has never spoken to and feels too shy to approach.
Crowley is also a raging insomniac, and nothing helps him relax enough to fall asleep - that is, until he switches on the radio one evening and discovers the late-night advice programme of Aziraphale Fell, former priest and "soother of troubled souls". Mesmerised with Aziraphale's voice and struck by the gentle wisdom of Aziraphale's advice, Crowley feels his life and routine slowly begin to improve until he is ready to introduce himself to the two strangers he has fallen in love with - the handsome man in the park, and Aziraphale himself. How long can Crowley burn the torch for two men before he has to choose one, even though he knows very little about either of them?
A/N: This story is an alternative take on the In Your Own Time world I created, in which Aziraphale and Crowley did not meet as children, but it can be read as a standalone without reading IYOT.

Summary
"Why are you doing this?"
Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be.
"Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands.
"No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?"
It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'.
Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see.
"Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me."
"Why?"
He won't answer that. He can't answer that.
"Don't ask stupid questions."
~oOo~
Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can actually build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards.- Language:

Summary
Six thousand years is a long time to love someone. It is an even longer time to keep a secret from them.
In spite of an immediate connection with the demon he met on the Wall around the Garden, Aziraphale doesn't know how to close the distance between them. Everything he tries seems to go quite poorly, and he's never been sure why. It might have something to do with all that alpha and omega business, confounding nonsense that it is.
Crowley, though, has a secret. One snap decision has defined the entire course of his life on Earth, leaving him with a problem he can't seem to solve; how do you tell the love of your life that you've been lying the entire time you've known them?

Summary
PhD student Aziraphale Fell, 23, is left woefully inexperienced after his single short, regrettable relationship. In the hopes of changing that - and against his better judgment - he takes his friend Anathema’s advice and joins the hookup app, Lustr.
Anthony Crowley, also 23, is working to finish his junior year after a troubled youth. He doesn't date, but he has spent the last few months pining after the angel in the library - the one with the bow tie and the kind smile - and trying to find the courage to speak to him.
Crowley hasn't swiped anyone on Lustr in months... But he looks. And seeing an unexpected face might spur him to action.

Summary
Crowley and Aziraphale have settled into a nice life, splitting themselves between the bookshop and their new cottage in the South Downs. They enjoy freedom from worry about interference from Heaven and Hell. After thousands and thousands of years of mutual pining, these two idiots have finally made out and learned how to give themselves absolute pleasure. They spend a lot of time connecting carnally. Crowley takes a new effort out for a spin and within a few weeks, they realize that ALL of Crowley's female-presenting reproductive anatomy is actually in place, leading to two positive lines on a pregnancy test. Lots of sex, lots of domestic fluff, and a bunch of pregnancy shenanigans ensue.

Summary
For 6000 Years, Crowley and Aziraphale have shared an eternity of experiences together. As the two grew closer, they inevitably fell into each other's arms in more ways than one. There's one problem: Crowley has only ever known Aziraphale to enjoy the company of male lovers, and Crowley's preferred Effort is decidedly... not that.
Not a big deal, right? He can just change his Effort to make sure Aziraphale is happy. Crowley loves Aziraphale. He'd do anything to make him happy. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Excerpt:
"We've been sleeping together for forty years. Why didn't you tell me what your preferred Effort was, Crowley?""Well... the thing is when we started shagging, I just assumed that's what you preferred. When you came and rescued me in New York, I wanted to make you happy, and for you to want to be with me, no matter what. So... I changed my Effort for you."

Summary
Set shortly after S1, not that there is any discernible plot to be found here.
After a frustrating drive home, Crowley tests Aziraphale's limits.
“Oh,” Aziraphale said, and he couldn’t stop making the noise as the sensation intensified, could hear himself babbling, “oh, oh—fuck, Crowley, I—I don’t think I can take any more—“
“You will.”

Summary
A hurt Crowley hangs around Maggie and Nina, slowly healing and trying to find a meaning to his life, while Aziraphale deals with Heaven, trying to avoid the end of the world while keeping everybody he cares about safe. But they've never achieved anything when apart from each other, so the only way to stop the Second Coming will be to talk through their issues, fix their relationship, and get some allies. A reluctant Messiah, some supernatural beings not so happy with the destruction dance Heaven and Hell seem to be engaged on, and a pair of humans that wonder time and again why the hell did they help save a bookshop.
Unexpected allies, spy games and conspiracies, while Nina's shop gets an influx of occult forces in desperate need of coffee.

“That's why I didn't do it. I was scared.”
“I'd never hurt you, angel. Not that kind of demon.”

-----
"Angel, please. Don’t fall for me.”
“Oh, I’m sure I won’t. See, that’s the scam. You don’t fall for being bad. You can be as cruel as you want as long as you’re still useful. Don’t question things, and you can get away with murder."- Language:

Simmer (The Long-Awaited Reply to a Lingering Kiss) by LemonTart

Summary
Aziraphale Fell is an accomplished food writer and book collector who leads a quiet life. Anthony Crowley, owner of the Grand Duke Distillery, has a wild reputation that’s more fiction than fact. As former culinary school classmates, they share a love of food and drink — and a history of a long ago, lingering kiss. Years later, their friendship simmers into a heated affair that might just lead to true love — if they can overcome their own doubts.
Aziraphale rises from his chair, takes a few steps towards him, then hesitates. Crowley knows a hundred different emotions must be flickering across his face, reflecting all the turmoil between his head and his heart. His heart is loud, insistent, nudging him to see the earnest hope in Aziraphale’s expression, to remember the beatific boy who lent him a pen and kissed him on a stair step, urging him to not let go of this man with ink-stained fingers and rare books who constantly surprises him.
His shoulders tense as his breath hitches, his voice hoarse. “You need to tell me exactly what you want.”
