    Summary

    Aziraphale filled the thermos one painstaking holy spoonful at a time, screwed the lid on as tightly as he could possibly manage, then wiped the top and sides down with an absorbent towel even though rationally he knew he’d been far too careful to let anything spill over the edge. That done, he lifted the thermos and held it upside down, shaking it back and forth and up and down, watching carefully for any sign of leakage.

    He took a deep breath, trying to calm the pounding in his chest.

    Don’t do this, a voice in his head wailed, one last-ditch effort to stop him from making this decision. You swore you wouldn’t give him a suicide pill. What’s changed? Nothing’s changed. Don’t be the cause of your best friend’s destruction.

    Aziraphale closed his eyes to shut out the sight of the deadly container before him. It didn’t help.

    Summary

    “I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.”

    “Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled.

    Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.”

    “What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”

    Summary

    The events of an entirely ordinary day for one particular police station in London towards the beginning of summer in 2019.

    ~ ~ ~

    Lonnie Clarke was talking to a lunatic.

    To be fair, that wasn’t really unusual. It was a standard part of police work.

    This particular lunatic was a special sort of insane, though. Crazy like a fox, this Mr. Fell. Or, just absurdly lucky.

    Clarke was just finishing up with him — confirming his contact information, thanking him for his time, and so on — when an entirely different and more familiar lunatic came swaggering in with their hands cuffed in front of them. “OI! Who sent a rookie to pick me up all by herself? That’s hazing, ‘s what that is. Thought you lot were above all that.”

    Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Crowley was in the building.

    Summary

    Anathema believes she is possessed by a demon. She comes to Aziraphale and Crowley for an exorcism.

    “You know someone possessed, book girl?”

    “Maybe. I’m trying to figure that out. That’s why I came to you two.”

    There’s an awkward pause, during which Crowley and Aziraphale exchange glances across the table.

    “Well, angel, you go ahead and tell her what the signs are.”

    “I think you should, it’s your area of expertise.”

    “Me? I’ve never possessed anyone. It’s your area now.”

    “That was one time.”

    “Oh my god.” Anathema puts her hands on the table. “Please tell me at least one of you knows what possession looks like.”

    Summary

    Crowley accidentally takes over the bookshop. His new routine is interrupted by amnesiac Aziraphale returning. Crowley is determined to help him even though he knows Aziraphale will leave him again as soon as he remembers.

    ***

    “Oh my, I do apologize!” Aziraphale says. “I did not mean to startle you.”

    “Ngk,” says Crowley. He isn’t sure what’s the protocol for when the love of your life walks back into your life after rejecting you. But he sure as Hell knows that clumsily climbing out from under the armchair is a bad start.

    Summary

    Season 2 spoilers! When Mrs. Sandwich spots a suspicious new guy apparently lurking on her turf, the misunderstanding leads to an unlikely friendship between the ‘seamstress’ and a demon.

    So in episode 6 we see that Mrs. Sandwich is clearly at ease with Crowley and he with her, enough to share a joke together. Combine that with the curious sign on her door which might just be referring to Crowley, and we have a little buddy comedy in the making. I decided to explore the backstory of how they came to know one another between season 1 and the beginning of season 2.

     

    This post on tumblr was an additional kicking-off point.

     

    While this little comedy is about sex workers, there is NO sex in it, and rated M solely for oblique references to things like contraceptive devices and so on - honestly it could get away with a “teen and up” rating but I like to err on the side of caution.

    Summary

    “You.. Came.. “
    Aziraphale closed his eyes and concentrated on sending as much holy energy into Crowley's body as he could without hurting the demon further.
    “You called.”, he mumbled after a few moments of silence, but Crowley was already gone when he let his eyes roam back down to the other. “Of course I did.”
    .
    .
    Crowley gets stabbed with a holy blade while Aziraphale is sorting business out in Heaven and when he realizes he probably won’t make it, he prays to see his angel at least once more before he dies.
    Aziraphale, upon finding Crowley in a puddle of his own blood, decided to show Heaven the metaphorical middle finger and take all of his vacation days at once to nurse the demon back to health and maybe figure out what he really wants on the way.

    Summary

    Popular queer romance author, A.Z. Fell, has been lying about having a husband and a happy marriage for years. Longing to escape a string of failed relationships and looking for a fresh start, Aziraphale moves into the cottage left to him by his Great Aunt Agnes. When a TV adaptation of one of his books leads to sudden popularity and throws him into the limelight, his fans (and the press) are eager to catch a glimpse of Aziraphale's own mysterious leading man. Unfortunately, he still has to cast someone for that role. Enter the handsome gardener…

    Under Crowley's meticulous care the cottage's neglected garden slowly comes back to life, and Aziraphale finds himself writing the most important love story he'll ever write: his own

    Summary

    On the first day of kindergarten, 1986, Aziraphale Fell met Anthony Crowley, and the two were best friends from that moment on. What began as a simple childhood friendship grew and developed into something deeper and more precious, and they swore a sacred vow as children to always be best friends. Knowing one another as well as they did, they formed another pact in their teens: if they were both single at forty, they'd marry each other.

    They went to separate universities and grew apart over the years, but neither ever forgot the other. And a few weeks before Aziraphale's fortieth birthday, he is shocked when Crowley appears in his shop, having returned to London for good.

    Will they be able to pick up where they left off as friends, or will this be the start of something new?

    Summary

    “It’s a nice idea,” Crowley chirped, grinning a little wider and making the butterflies in Aziraphale’s stomach flutter a little harder. “Except for the part where, you know, monsters aren’t real.”

    Aziraphale smiled with tightly shut lips, hiding the fangs that grew involuntarily sharper behind them. “Of course,” he hurried out with a polite laugh. “Speaking hypothetically, that is.”

    Summary

    After 6000 years in the spinning hubbub of earth, Heaven had been overwhelmingly sparse. So bright it stung, so empty it echoed, so utterly quiet the silence howled in your ears and never seemed to stop.

    Heaven was like if radio static had teeth, a total body itch you couldn’t scratch, an endless drip drip drip of gentle water slowly driving you mad.

    And Aziraphale had spent an entire year there.

With a holy weapon pierced into his abdomen and time slipping away from him, he makes peace with his doomed fate as he awaits death in his angel's arms. Aziraphale will -not- have it though, as he does everything in his power to save the being he loves the most, risking everything to keep him.

    Summary

    "So you’re telling me that my options are either to convince this man I just met and drunkenly married to stay married to me for six months or lose two thirds of a billion pounds?”

    “That’s exactly what I’m telling you,” Fergus said.

    “Fucking shit,” Crowley spat.

    He hung up the phone and stared at it for a moment before rubbing his eyes with his fists. Now his job would be twice as hard. He needed to talk Aziraphale into staying married for six months. Should he try begging or bribing? This was a huge ask, and Aziraphale would be well within his rights to tell Crowley to fuck off. But Crowley was prepared to offer him pretty much anything, up to half of the trust, if that’s what it took. He didn’t care.

    But that was only part of his concern. Even if he got insanely lucky and Aziraphale agreed to stay legally married to him for the next six months, how the hell was he going to talk Aziraphale into dating him during that time? And was it foolish to even try?

    One thing at a time, he decided. First, he needed to convince Aziraphale to stay legally married to him. Then he could set about wooing his husband. He hoped.

    Aziraphale had gotten dumped, plain and simple. But that small detail wasn’t nearly as important as all the things that happened after he’d gotten dumped - such as coming to a few realisations about his best friend of sixteen years.

    Summary

    Aziraphale knows what he’s doing is bad. He knows that he shouldn’t do it, but he also knows deep down in his gut, that he deserves it. He’s seen how much harm he has done, by being ignorant, thinking he was better than these humans. And he has tried to make up for it, he really has, but he still lies in bed at night thinking about what he could have done. Who he could have saved. Aziraphale had done so many blessings, but sometimes they hadn’t worked. He had seen so many humans shorten their already short lives, hollow eyes and wounded body beyond saving
