    Summary

    Dick magnet and astrophysicist Anthony J. Crowley has his life all figured out: success in his field, an endless supply of meaningless one-night-stands to fulfill his sexual needs, and Aziraphale Fell – his best friend of twenty-years, only failed-hook-up-in-his-record and favourite person on every known planet – for everything else.
    Sure, he’s got his Dark Days like everyone else, and he can’t say “I love you” to anyone that isn’t an animal, and sometimes he feels like there could be more to life than constantly skimming the surface of things, but all in all he’s happy with what he has.
    That is until Aziraphale comes back from Scotland and announces out of the blue that he’s engaged to be married and asks Crowley to be his best man slash maid of honour.

    Among traitorous kilts, feral godmothers, angelic baby goats, and unnervingly perfect fiancés, the very real prospect of Aziraphale’s happiness not including him forces Crowley to reckon with some pretty hard truths he’s been ignoring all his life.
    Will he go along with the wedding and carry out his duties as MOH? Or is he brave enough to go after Aziraphale and show him that their happiness is one and the same? And what if it’s too little too late?

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley is 40 years old and down on his luck. In the past few years he’s lost his job as a journalist, his boyfriend, his flat, and most of his self-respect. When he hears about the chance to nanny a three-year-old boy, it looks like the opportunity he’s been waiting for to turn his life around.

    At 57, bookshop owner Aziraphale Fell has resigned himself to his perpetual bachelorhood. Still, each year, he looks forward to dressing up in his vintage Father Christmas suit and turning his bookshop annex into a holiday wonderland.

    When Crowley and his young charge, Adam, attend Father Christmas’s Magical Bookshop, it’s clear the two men are attracted to one another. Over the course of the next year they become friends, important to one another in every way. The question is, can they face their fears and admit that they have fallen quite deeply in love?

    Summary

    Nearly a year after returning to Heaven as Supreme Archangel, Aziraphale learns that the Second Coming is no distant prophecy but an active and deadly project. This time, Heaven intends to succeed, and Aziraphale has been tasked with delivering it.

    Hell has already made its move. A new Antichrist has been planted, not in a human but in a demon, a choice calculated to destabilise Heaven’s certainty from the inside out.

    And, of course, Aziraphale and Crowley are not speaking.

    What passed between them before the separation still lingers, unresolved and unspoken, and both will work independently to stop the Second Coming and save the imperfect world they have spent millennia protecting.

    A story about rebellion, perfection and loss, and the dangerous hope that love, even delayed, might still change the ending.

    Oh. And there's a baby too.

    Crowley doesn’t know it yet, but this is going to be the first, last, and only night he spends in the bookshop.

    Summary

    Crowley hates Christmas. He hates winter. He hates the way the year insists on circling back to the same night, again and again.

    Every Christmas Eve, he works a crisis hotline, because if he’s going to have a miserable night, he might as well help other people through theirs.

    When a call goes wrong, the careful scaffolding he’s built around himself begins to crack — and Crowley starts to believe that maybe the problem has always been him. That maybe the world would be better off without him in it.

    Enter Aziraphale: angel, nuisance, and entirely unwilling to let Crowley disappear quietly. Oh — and he’s kind of cute, too.

    Summary

    1909. Edwardian London, where love is criminal and literature is dangerous.

    Mr. Aziraphale Fell runs a respectable Soho bookshop with secrets hidden behind false shelves. Mr. Anthony Crowley writes scandalous poetry much too honest for publication. When they meet over a forbidden copy of Baudelaire, they recognize something dangerous and captivating in each other: the refusal to be silent.

    Together, they publish a time bomb of a book. Second Circle – forty-two poems about queer love and resistance that could send them both to prison.

    This is the story of what that choice costs them – and why it was worth it.

    Summary

    When Aziraphale is summoned to the king's court in order to assist with an urgent matter, he has no idea the urgent matter is going to turn out to be Crowley. In the guise of a beautiful woman, Crowley has been stiring up trouble among the knights of the court, distracting them from their duties and causing disruption.

    Unfortunately for the king, Aziraphale finds Crowley just as distracting, and has no idea how to thwart his demonic wiles.

    (Can be read as a stand-alone story, but fits into the All The Pieces of You universe as well.)

    Summary

    Crowley's accidental good work lands him an unexpected reward...his very own angel.

    The last thing Crowley wants is a traumatised angel to look after. The last thing Aziraphale expects is a demon who brings him tea instead of pain.

    But Hell's gifts come with strings attached, and when Hell demands Crowley fulfil his reward's intended purpose, Crowley must decide if he's willing to become everything he hates to protect the angel he's grown to love.

    In the aftermath of Adam and Eve's exile from the Garden, an angel and a demon share shelter under a wing.
    What follows is 6,000 years told through two celestial perspectives and all the things that were left unsaid.

    Canon semi-divergent

    (Note) Spans from Eden to Edinburgh (1827) so technically 5,831 years, but we're rounding up to 6,000 to account for pre-Fall encounters.

    Final chapter of this story is based on artwork by the ineffable Gleafer.

    Summary

    Crowley’s latest art model is polite, attractive, and extremely comfortable being nude. Crowley is determined to keep their relationship professional — until an afternoon of golden light and a pair of angel wings brings out a particularly captivating expression on Aziraphale’s face. Suddenly, Crowley’s rule about not getting involved with his models is going to be very difficult to keep.

    Aziraphale slowly opens his eyes, his gaze going directly to Crowley.

    “Do you have what you want?” Aziraphale asks quietly, still holding his pose.

    Crowley swallows, his throat dry. What he wants isn’t crude marks on paper. He wants flesh and blood, heat and raw passion. He craves this man he can draw from memory and yet knows almost nothing about, who’s now sitting within his reach. “No… I don’t,” he replies in a low voice. He gazes at Aziraphale with undisguised desire. “Not yet.”

    Electricity crackles across the room, the atmosphere charged. Aziraphale shifts and sits upright in the chair, his hair and wings catching the sunlight. Holding Crowley’s gaze, he spreads his legs wider, his lips slightly parted, the hint of his pink tongue an invitation.

    Summary

    Crowley died. Sort of. It didn’t stick.
    Now he’s back - not a demon, not a human, just... mostly undead, vaguely unlabelled, and maybe in love with an angel he’s never seen before in his life. Or has he?

    Aziraphale is finally done pretending he doesn’t remember. Or want. Or care. Turns out, 6,000 years of repressed affection, divine bureaucracy, and one very snarky bastard who keeps returning can wear a principality down.

    They were always going to find each other again.
    Maybe this time they get it right.

    This is a story about breaking the cycle. About memory, desire, undead metaphysics, jealousy, fate, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

    Also: titans, kissing, drag queens, glam rock, a bench in Berkeley Square, a cat, always London.
    And a neon sign that says exactly what you think it does.

    Summary

    The London Library is Dr. Aziraphale Fell’s cathedral of calm - the tea in the Member's Room, his notes in immaculate rows in the Reading Room, silence thick enough to hear the dust settle.

    But then a stranger dares to scrawl clever little messages in the margins of his favourite books. Outrageous! Inexcusable! And yet… somehow, utterly irresistible.

    Anthony Crowley loathes his job and rebels against the futility of life by scribbling wicked little asides in priceless London Library books, never expecting an answer.

    Until someone writes back. Someone insufferably prim, precise and ... fascinating.

    What begins as a literary battle of wits might just unfold into an adventure neither of them anticipated.

    Summary

    The webpage loaded. Aziraphale absolutely did not spit his tea all over his keyboard, but it was a close-run thing.
    The man on the page was beautiful. Ethereal even. Flaming red hair that surely couldn't be natural and golden honey-coloured eyes that made Aziraphale wonder if he was wearing contact lenses to alter the colour. His cheekbones were rather lovely and the wicked smile he was giving to the camera was a sharp counterpoint to the warmth in his eyes.

    Aziraphale has to attend a family wedding and he may have told a bit of a white lie. Of course he doesn't actually have a boyfriend. So now he needs to find one in the next six months, and in despair he turns to an escort agency for help.

    As for Crowley? Well, "Crowley usually only ordered dessert if he really felt it was expected of him. But tonight he ordered dessert because Aziraphale was debating between two different choices and Crowley had said he was thinking of ordering one of them simply so that Aziraphale could choose the other and try some of his."

    Crowley thinks he might be in trouble.

    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

    When Aziraphale arrives at the hospital, Crowley seems fine. He waves him over to the side of his bed, a smile on his face. He gives him a kiss. He calls him “angel.” It’s perfect. It’s everything Aziraphale’s ever dreamed of. But it’s not right.

    What the actual fuck is going on?

    A reverse trope romance in which having amnesia leads to a second chance. It’s especially sweet when you never thought you had a chance in the first place.

    Aziraphale hires a sex worker named A. J. Crowley — but not for the reasons you might think.


    Welcome to the definition of "crack treated seriously!" Also known as my hyperfixation for the last fifteen months. The overall tone of this fic will be light-hearted and fluffy, but there will be some more serious stories/themes in the later chapters. But I promise — if you're here for fluff (and a little bit of sexiness), you will not be disappointed (at least, I hope)!

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley, Crown Prince of Abbadon, has been ordered by his siblings, Beezle and Gabriel, to go to the neighboring, unfriendly kingdom of Gaia and wed their Crown Prince, sight unseen. He is to take his cousin, Anathema, and leave the very next day. To say he's resentful of this development would be a massive understatement.

    Aziraphale Eastgate, Crown Prince of Gaia, has received a similar edict from his father, King Derek: He is to wed the Prince of Abbadon - sight unseen - in ten days. There is no way he could ever accept the idea of marriage to a barbarian from Abbadon. The very idea is preposterous. His heart is full of resentment, fury, and betrayal when he attempts to run away.

    How long will the resentment in the hearts of these two princes last once they meet?

    Summary

    Early spring has always stirred both romance and nostalgia in Aziraphale Fell. So, when he stumbles upon a once-familiar, now untended garden one crisp March morning, he cannot resist exploring. One flower in particular calls to him—more vibrant, more fragrant than the rest. Drawn to its beauty, Aziraphale plucks the bloom, certain it will make the most exquisite tea. But when he drinks it, the infusion does more than delight his senses—it stirs dreams richer than reality and conjures the presence of a man who haunts them.
