    Summary

    The Captain - Edward ‘Ted’ Williamson - knows he’s not an easy person to love. After leaving the army and coming to terms with his own sexuality, he has found himself stuck in a rut, constantly making the same mistakes and falling in unrequited love with the wrong people. According to his therapist, he ‘self-sabotages’ by ‘burying his emotions’.

    A tragedy leads to a bittersweet opportunity for a fresh start in a sleepy village, in a cottage with a yellow door and honeysuckle growing up the walls. There’s a disarming amount of room to breathe, and the chance to reluctantly be befriended by the eccentric locals.

    Summary

    Crowley had gotten used to scratching a particular itch in Hell, but he was cut off from it the moment he and Aziraphale cut ties with their employers; and now, happy and in love, the itch is suddenly back and worse than ever.

    Guilt tastes sour and selfish, especially when he finally had everything he’d ever wanted sitting in a cottage in South Downs, and Crowley comes to terms with the fact that this probably was never just about sex after all.

    In short: Crowley is used to getting fucked by a personification of his self-esteem issues and finds that he has a hard time asking for what he really wants.

    And what he wants is to be in the lap of the Divine.

    Summary

    The legions of Hell are not made up solely of those who fell from grace. Some of them hatch. It's that time of the millennia and Crowley has a full clutch of eggs that need to go somewhere.

    Summary

    “Why would I fuck a demon? Simple, the status. Imagine you and your friends arriving at the gates of hell, they’re all crying, scared to death for eternity and you just walk into the arms of your sugar demon, legendary.”

    That wasn't Aziraphale's intent - he just wanted to be with his love.

    Crowley knew it was only a matter of time before the Big One.

    Summary

    “Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

    Summary

    Aziraphale's hand slides down past Crowley's hip to fist his cock in time with his thrusts, and he bites again, and again, down to Crowley's naked shoulder, up to his earlobe, not meaning to be sexy, just biting like he's eating, tasting the salt on Crowley's skin, like he might consume Crowley entirely if given enough time.

    "Talk to me," he gasps, between thrusts, between bites, his voice shaking.

    "No," Crowley grits out, just before he comes.

    Summary

    “Are you alright? What’s all this about then?”

    “Ah. Well. I might have slipped.”

    “Slipped?”

    “Took a bit of a tumble, I’m afraid,” Aziraphale said. “But, well. What’s done is done.”

    “What’s done - ?”

    “Now that I’m no longer beholden to a rather arbitrary moral code, I have to ask: Do you pay taxes? Actually, more importantly, do you think I can stop paying taxes now? That seems like a sufficiently demonic thing to do. Refusing to do my civic duty and whatnot. Quite devious, I’d argue.”

    This was, in hindsight, not the most sensitive way of breaking the news.

    Summary

    Apparently, Crowley could ruin his good mood. Crowley was just about the only thing that could ruin it.
    “Right. So. You and I, is it?” Aziraphale confirmed, just to be clear.
    “That’s right.”
    “And how long is this trip, exactly?”
    “One full week,” Crowley enunciated too clearly, stretching his lips around the words and sharply clacking his k. “Seven whole days.”
    “Great,” Aziraphale breathed.
    They both smiled, all teeth and no joy.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    When Crowley discovers that both he and his flatmate, Aziraphale, enjoy spending quality time naked in their flat, he’s rather proud of himself for coming up with an arrangement he thinks will suit both their needs. After all, they’re adults. They can handle a bit of casual nudity…right?

    Written for r/GoodOmensAfterDark's Streak Week, a celebration of gratuitous nudity.

    Summary

    1941, London, take 3

    Aziraphale notices it as they near the bottom of the bottle, when the last jammy dregs cling to the inside of the glasses they’ve been nursing for some time, misted impressions of their fingerprints standing out against the otherwise crystalline surface.

    He’s not certain why he’s only seeing it now; perhaps Crowley has been able to hide it until the alcohol dismantled his characteristic defenses enough to expose his wincing.

    “Crowley,” Aziraphale asks, a little woozy himself, pleasantly inebriated from wine laced, ebbing adrenaline and the demon’s fire crackling presence, “are you quite alright, my dear?”

    His tongue is thick in his mouth, heavy, and clumsy, and aching for some reason, too; it’s odd, and a tad disconcerting.

    “‘M fine,” Crowley’s lightning quick reply is a mumbled, obvious lie he’s unable to twist into something convincing despite his efforts to do otherwise, “don’t worry ‘bout me, angel.”

    I do little else, Aziraphale nearly admits out loud, absurd you could even think otherwise, despite our differences, despite our pasts, despite our… everything.

    Or, an imagining of what else may have transpired that night during the Blitz.

    Summary

    The Archangel Gabriel discovers the Arrangement. He decides to strike up a deal of his own with Crowley - Gabriel can do whatever he wants to the demon, or he'll make Aziraphale Fall.

    Crowley accepts, because no way is he going to be the reason Aziraphale Falls, and really, Crowley's literally been through Hell, no torture the Archangel could throw at him would possibly come as a surprise.

    Except maybe this one.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Z. Fell is a rising star of the spiritual literary genre - the next Eat Pray Love guy - and his version of Chicken Soup For the Christian Soul is flying off the shelves. It's not that he's not grateful, but it's one thing to enjoy a career in writing and another completely to be pigeonholed into a specific genre, so much so that you are almost forbidden from writing anything else.
    So yes, maybe he has a bit of a secret. An outlet for his less... appropriate urges. And yes, if his typical readership got word of the sort of paragraphs he could put out on a particularly inspired night, they might suffer some form of heart attack typical for their age.
    But all of that is well hidden, and there is absolutely no way anyone would ever find out about his Arrangement with A.J. Crowley - the most debaucherous romantic fiction author of the decade.
    That is... until they have to pretend to be married to each other.

    Anthony J. Crowley is an A-list actor who has been in a bit of a slump over the last couple of years. A.Z. Fell is on the brink of superstardom, but has a reputation as a fuddy duddy. Their managers, Beezle and Gabriel, insist that if they pretend to date each other, it will solve both of their problems. It's only for three months.

    What's the worst that can happen?

    Summary

    When Maggie opens a Yelp-page for Aziraphale's bookshop, nobody is prepared for a bunch of conspiracy theorists to find it. Unfortunately they do, and now they're trying to prove that the shop's owner must be a vampire, a hypnotist, or even something as outlandish as an angel. It probably doesn't help that Crowley keeps encouraging them...

    But despite that, even the sane parts of the internet seem to be having a blast following the bookshop's history through war, fire, romance, temporary abandonment, and a tooth-rottingly sweet happy ending – all through the lens of a couple of Yelp reviews.

    Summary

    "He had known it was a terrible idea since it had first popped into his cranium. John was going to be angry. No. Actually, John was probably going to be livid. He had promised John he’d stop going out to cases by himself, but how could he curb his curiosity when the answer jumped right out at him in the middle of John’s date?"

    The Yard has been chasing this suspect for weeks and have found nothing, so as soon as Sherlock Holmes finds a clue, he takes off after the man without his trusty blogger by his side.

    This turns out to be the worst mistake Sherlock can ever remember making.
