    Summary

(And two Dukes of Hell with increasingly convoluted plans, a flying pirate ship captained by the Antichrist, abuse of footnotes, and a star that's maybe actually a demon, but really, who's counting?)

    Summary

    In the heart of a bustling fantastical city, Mr. Fell’s Arcane Tomes and Curiosities supplies illustrious adventurers with magical weaponry and armor. One fateful day, a regular customer brings Mr. Fell a strange instrument inscribed with demonic script, which turns out to be a prison for an unlucky lamia demon named Crowley. As far as demons go, Crowley seems to be more disgruntled and sarcastic than outright evil – and all he wants is to be released from his prison.

    And Mr. Fell has problems of his own: he has no memory of who or what he is. He’s plagued by illnesses and terrifying dreams. Deep within, he believes he might not be human at all, but something much more powerful – and much more dangerous. Mr. Fell’s life is hardly stable to begin with, and Crowley might be the catalyst that causes it to crash down for good.

    Summary

    After Nope-mageddon, Aziraphale feels more confident and relaxed. He no longer feels like he needs to keep Crowley at arm's length for their own protection. He can finally tell Crowley that he cares about him more than "friendship" can describe.

    But he doesn't want there to be any chance for miscommunication. But directly talking about feelings in the past with the demon tended to be uncomfortable, so he would need to be a little subtler than that. Of course, human flirting wouldn't work. They already enjoyed traditional human dating activities together, but only as friends. Aziraphale needed something that Crowley couldn't possibly misunderstand.

    Well, perhaps he could research what counted as demonic methods of courting someone. That should be familiar enough for Crowley that he would understand Aziraphale's intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    ‘This is- put me down,’ Crowley demands, more forcefully this time. He attempts to roll out of Aziraphale’s arms, and the grip on him only tightens. Aziraphale is like iron, except with an extremely cuddly outer layer that smells like a sea breeze and expensive cologne. One of his arms is under Crowley’s leg and gripping his thigh. The other is around Crowley’s back, holding him close enough to- well. Close.

    The phrase “bridal style” flutters through Crowley’s mind and he attempts to clamp down on it furiously.

     

    After the Apocalypse, Crowley senses Demons coming, and manages to hide himself and Aziraphale inside a nearby church for safety. He probably should have thought this through.

    Summary

    The image of Aziraphale — his bowtie undone and his coat long abandoned, his shirtsleeves rolled up to his elbows — with a newborn tucked snugly in the crook of his arm like some sort of angelic nanny will stay with Crowley long after this world is nothing but a smoking crater.

    Summary

    There was nothing more beautiful than the sun rising over the plains. Dawn bled like a cup of coffee spilling over the morning paper, arresting Crowley’s attention. He’d always pause his chores to mark the progression from grey to blue and brilliant orange, moving like a curtain up over a stage. As a child he’d believed God must have painted the sky over the stars each day, but the farmer had long since abandoned both faith and imagination. Instead he relied on more tangible tools, the ones that could reign in 160 acres of the Great American Desert. His homestead was his Eden and he fit it to his own design.

    My take on the farmer/librarian trope (can't get enough of it), set in 1895 or thereabouts.

    Summary

    After spending six thousand years in Aziraphale’s company, the only thing Crowley’s sure of is that he can’t touch the angel without hurting him. Too bad he never bothered asking Aziraphale about it.


    If Crowley could still feel the soft give of rich cloth under his clenched fists, surely Aziraphale could still feel the scorching heat of a demon’s hands on his skin.

    If they made it out of this alive, Crowley decided, if there was anything left of the world afterwards, he’d be damned a second time if he ever put his hands on the angel again.

    Summary

    "Which Duke do you work under?" Azirafell asked conversationally, snapping a mug of something hot and sweet into existence and taking a sip. "Because I do hope they're considering you for promotion."

    "Ngh?" Raphael blinked, feeling a little like the muddy rug had been pulled out from beneath him. "What?"

    "Well, an enterprising young demon like you…" Azirafell smiled at him in a way that was all Lecherous Temptation, Raphael could tell from the detestable effect it had on the very pit of his stomach. "...ought to go places, in my humble opinion."

    "Hah." Said Raphael, very lost. "Demon?"

     

     

    In which the Archangel Raphael watches over humanity, prevents the End of the World, and spends 6000 years falling in love with a demon who doesn't even know his real name.
    It's fine...
    ...until Heaven finds out, that is.

    Summary

    Crowley hates the biting cold of winter — dreads it every year. It gets in the bones; a miserable, gnawing thing. Normally he would just go home and sleep through the whole season — unconsciousness the only respite from this annual suffering. But after the Apocanope doesn't quite pop off as it's meant to, Crowley is soaking in all the pleasant experience the world has to offer, and the one redeeming quality about winter is of course Christmas. Hanukkah. Yule. Solstice. Whatever excuse humans are using these days to eat, drink, sing songs, and bring some greenery inside to warm their homes. He has a guilty pleasure he's been indulging in that no one can know about... especially not the angel. But when Crowley's tender little secret is discovered, he might get more holiday cheer than he could have imagined possible.

    Summary

    “They’re trying to invent a new alphabet,” Aziraphale said happily. “For writing the local language. Oh, it’s so terribly exciting, I can’t tell you.”

    When Crowley and Aziraphale find themselves in the same castle in the 9th century, spending the summer sitting around together drinking wine is pretty much inevitable.

    Summary

    Flowers inexplicably grow around Crowley whenever he's in the throes of extreme emotions. Marigolds here, roses there, the occasional orchid and nettle.

    Funny then, the sorts of flowers he grows around Aziraphale.

    Summary

    Falling starts with a question, and Crowley has fallen twice. The first time he asked himself, “Can I choose a different path?” The second time, he stood under the wing of a flustered angel, and thought, “Can I keep you?”


    This is a story of self-discovery, trust, and courage—and it certainly has nothing to do with forgiveness.

    Summary

    Angels, like all winged things, need to occasionally molt, shedding their old feathers to grow new ones. This is an annoying process which tends to make them snappish. But when Aziraphale goes into his first molt after the Apocalypse that wasn't, it's a bit different than any other molt he's ever had, and he gets more than merely snappish.

    Or in other words, Aziraphale Falls, one feather, one sin, at a time.

    It had been six thousand years, more or less, since Aziraphale had last been without a corporation. He'd forgotten how different some things were.

    “Oh, my dear.” Aziraphale shakes his head. “What are we going to do with you?”

    And then, his hand runs tenderly down Crowley’s back. He twitches, entire body tensing. Aziraphale pays no mind. He just keeps languidly stroking Crowley’s scales, going with the grain, and- Oh. Oh, that’s nice.
