    Summary

    Aziraphale thought he had born witness to his fair share of Crowley's temptations over the millennia. Those swinging, hypnotic hips, the persistent nudges to rebel against authority, the clandestine lunch dates - it all seemed part and parcel for a demon's propensity for persuasion. This assumption is shattered one day at an antiques show of all places, when the angel learns that Crowley's abilities reach far beyond a mere silver tongue, and the knowledge ignites something primal within him.

    After all, he'd always been one for indulging in new pleasures.

    Summary

    Crowley is a pining mess in the South Downs Cottage. He finds something close to solace, close to kinship, in the strange things in the depths of the sea.

    Aziraphale pulls him to shore.

    And presses him against a garden wall.

    *****
    "Do you remember? I do. The wash of this. That’s what water does, it erodes over time. This love of you, it’s shaped me into something else. I open and this thing I have for you rushes in like a tide, eager and saltbright and powerful. It happened slow, over millennia, but it’s never not been happening, not since I met you."

    Summary

    The Sumerians called him Asaruldu of the Anunnaki, “the shining god.” The Welsh knew him as Rhydderch Hael, a mighty king from Hen Ogledd. And the Norse believed he was Surtr of the jötuun, a human-shaped entity who would do battle at the dawn of Ragnarök.

    Lucifer knew him by another name, one bestowed by the same holy power that cast him from Heaven and his rightful kingdom. “Aziraphale,” he uttered.

    Summary

    Svlad's at the point where he’s just wandering around London. He’s poked his head inside a pet shop, four restaurants, a hair salon (he doesn’t know anything about hair but he’s sure he can learn on the job), a bakery, and six video stores. Everyone’s turned him down for work, which he thinks is a little inconsiderate, honestly, they don’t even know him. He’s somewhere in Soho when he sees a large bookshop. It looks like it’s been there forever, with lovely large windows and a very nice wood front. The top of the bookstore reads that it’s the store of one Mr. Ezra Fell. 

    Svlad hasn’t tried a bookshop yet. Might as well get shot down there, too.

     

    Where Dirk Gently, thoroughly down on his luck, gets a job in a bookstore shortly after getting kicked out of Cambridge, and tries to figure things out.

    Summary

    Because they can’t see each other more than once every few decades, Aziraphale suggests that he and Crowley write to each other to pass the time apart. As quills for their letters, they exchange wing feathers: a gesture of great intimacy that Crowley is convinced only he perceives the depth of. But time will tell that it’s not just him who sees it that way.

    Summary

    Usually when Crowley's yearly rush of annoying snake hormones arrive, he's holed up in his home where he can deal with it in private. The year after the failed Armageddon, however, he finds himself sprawled across Aziraphale's sofa, head in his lap, and a relaxing hand sifting through his hair.

    It's all a bit much for him right now.

    Summary

    "I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.

    Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.

    "Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.

    "Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."

    "Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.

    Summary

    "All right, I know I'm going to regret asking this," Aziraphale says. "What exactly does this wager entail?"

    Crowley grins like the cat that not only got the cream but has absconded with the entire cow. He grabs the bottle and swigs straight from it despite Aziraphale's tut of disapproval.

     "The pot goes to whichever demon can get an angel into bed by the end of the evening."

     AKA The Fic That Tumblr Made Me Write. Heaven and Hell share a corporate party once per millennium. This time someone's had the bright idea of issuing a challenge to the demons of Hell. Crowley has no intention of missing the opportunity; Aziraphale's just enough of a bastard to make him work for it.

    Summary

    There were times when Aziraphale knew he was doing a poor job of hiding his feelings. Indeed, there were times when he couldn't restrain himself from trying to get a rise out of Crowley, too. Crowley's love for him was as plain as the dear, beaky nose on his face, and it was all too easy to play the tempter himself, a little. Crowley obviously enjoyed their flirtation -- he could be quite attractively heroic when Aziraphale made himself vulnerable, and he got deliciously snarly when his kindness was pointed out. When Crowley's blood was up, well, there was never anything more seductive.

    So when Aziraphale told Crowley that he was, at heart, a good person, he was saying it because it was true, and because he loved Crowley and his slide into occasional nobility above all things. But perhaps he was also saying it, a tiny bit, because he hoped Crowley might, later, throw him against a wall.

    Summary

    Crowley has a revelation in the shower. Not the world-ending sort or the getting-laid sort, but one of the far less fun sorts. The sort that leads you to realize that something has somehow gone very wrong. Most likely, anyway. Maybe.

    Heaven, why him?

    The footnotes work if the story is read chapter by chapter, the footnotes map properly, but not as Entire Work.

    Summary

    “Aziraphale kept looking at Crowley’s hands, those hands that could never stay still. He kept thinking about touching: about touching Crowley’s fingers, and leaning against his shoulder, and about all those Crowley-atoms that made up his dear familiar corporation, and how here they were having saved the world and saved themselves and they’d known each other for six thousand years and they were still sitting at opposite ends of the sofa and he wanted, he wanted…

    They never touched. Why didn’t they touch?”

    Aziraphale has spent a long time not touching Crowley.

    Summary

    Crowley hiccups. It turns into a burp. “Angel,” he repeats, and if it sounds soppy, well, what do you expect. Crowley is three winds—sheets—anyway he’s shitfaced. It’s not like Aziraphale doesn’t know Crowley’s in love with him. It’s not like it’s a secret. It’s not like Crowley hasn’t lived with the mortification of being known down to the molecule every day for six thousand years.

    Why is he here again? Oh yes.

    “I need your help.”

    *

    It turns out glitter is miracle-proof and, also, that it itches. Crowley needs some help preening. He gets a bit more than he bargained for.

    Summary

    “I want you!” Crowley shouts back. “I’ve wanted you for a long fucking time, angel, and don’t try to pretend you don’t know that. I want you, and I want you to make up your fucking mind. I am done with hanging around waiting for you to decide.”

    Crowley has had enough.

    Summary

    Maybe he’d shown Crowley how to perform a few miracles, but that Crowley had taken to them so well was surely a sign that he wasn’t all bad. And maybe Aziraphale had let himself be called upon to perform a few temptations, but that was just testing the will of the faithful if you looked at it from a different angle.

    He wouldn’t have needed to resort to these techniques, he told himself, if Heaven hadn’t recalled so many of their other agents over the years, if humans with their sins and their saintliness hadn’t multiplied quite so quickly, if someone had explained to him precisely his position in the Plan. But they hadn’t, and he had to get along somehow.

    And anyway, if it were really so bad someone surely would have told him to stop doing it.

    Summary

    "After the apoca-wasn’t, time carries on - as time does. Days bleed into months, and months into years.

    And through it all, Heaven and Hell remain unnervingly silent.

    Crowley and Aziraphale sometimes catch sight of them - angels more often than demons. Not because the demons are any better at sneaking about; there are simply less of them sneaking (between the two, Heaven’s always been the more vengeful). But their watchers - whether angel or demon - don’t go so far as to speak. Rather, they observe - usually from some distance, dark gazes following. Watching."

    Ch.1 A Touch Like Sunlight: Crowley accidentally threatens an Archangel.
    Ch. 2 A Love Like Moonlight: When Aziraphale is threatened by angels who seek justice for Aziraphale's crimes against Heaven, Crowley comes up with a plan to keep him safe from harm.
