Summary
The djinn Crowley has very little love for mortals. When you've had the sort of masters he's had, it's understandable. So when he meets his new master, a soft looking bookseller, he's expecting an easy mark that he can manipulate. He's not expecting an Utter bastard with nerves of steel. And he's certainly not expecting to fall for him.

Summary
Demons loved.
It had taken Aziraphale quite a number of centuries to be able to admit it, but he had sensed it from a very few of them, over the years; although the clearest example was also the most vexing. With anything that loved, he could sense the recipient, the target of that love. Yet he had been sensing it, ever stronger and ever more deep, from the same demonic source for six thousand years, and its target was still a mystery.
(Crowley loves. Aziraphale is oblivious.)

Summary
Aziraphale sat up slowly and took Crowley’s hand. He turned it over, looked at the light coming from his wrist and arm from every angle. Then he brought it to his lips and kissed Crowley’s palm.
“This is what you meant,” he said, lips still against Crowley’s skin. “In 1832. You meant it literally. You glow.”
“You glow,” Crowley said. “You burn. You just sometimes also burn through me. It’s a reaction, I think. Because your holiness doesn’t belong in me.”
“Dearest,” Aziraphale said. “Heat cannot start a fire if there is nothing to burn.”
(Or, the one where Crowley is drawn to Aziraphale's holy flame like a moth ready to catch fire.)

The Serpent and The Prince by ladydragona

Summary
**Currently On Hiatus Until Further Notice**
The kingdom of Gehenna is full of beastmen, monsters, Demons. At least, that's what centuries of rumor and hostility would lead everyone to believe. Unfortunately for Prince Aziraphale of Elysium an arranged marriage to one of those Demons is the only way peace and trade might happen between their lands. Being married to a literal monster is a hard fate to have thrust upon him but not all monsters are cruel and the prince might find himself falling in love despite prejudice and fear.

the only one i want by artenon

Summary
Aziraphale doesn’t say anything for a moment. This is usually the part where he withdraws his arm. Instead, his fingers flutter at Crowley’s waist, a split-second pressure that’s gone as fast as it is light. He doesn’t remove his hand. “Why did you sit up?”
Crowley wasn’t expecting that question. He stutters unintelligibly for a moment, trying to figure out how to ask Was I not supposed to? without, you know, actually saying that.
(Or: Crowley constantly overthinks, and Aziraphale finally puts his foot down.)

The Ones Who Walk Away From Nevaeh by soft_october
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
30 Nov 2019
Tags
Summary
Aziraphale is not built for administration.
He is informed of this in clever language in the letter he received this morning, although he has known it for years. He is only surprised the bureaucracy of the city has taken so long to catch up to him.
Somewhere in Nevaeh, there is a room. It is mostly dark, and damp, and dreary, and were it not for the row of plants on the windowsill, it would be quite intolerable indeed.
There is a person inside this room, who is meant to be deprived of all earthly comforts, who is meant to take on all the suffering of the city, and without him, the great white towers of the city would surely topple into the sea.That's what everyone outside the room believes, anyway.
Although the new guard, Aziraphale, has his doubts.
They begin the moment the man behind the door begins to tell him a story.

The Healing Process by CuddlyHawk
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
29 Mar 2020
Tags
Summary
It started as a little road trip, but after eons of teaching himself to use fewer miracles, Aziraphale forgets to save himself when they're in a car accident. Crowley, completely at a loss, tries to care for Aziraphale as his health deteriorates, and tries not to lose himself in grief and self-blame.
~ ~ ~
To perform miraculous healing, the angel (or occasionally, the demon) must know what he is healing. Every injury requires a direct thought to be healed. Just as humans have specific ways to speed up their healing process, miraculous healing for extraterrestrial beings is the same. Without knowing exactly what is ailing the being, no amount of miracles will help.Bookmarked by SmallCog

The Endless Fall by Princess_Cocoa
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
04 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
Aziraphale really should have noticed earlier.
He'd always known that Crowley isn't like other demons. He cares about kids, he performs miracles as part of their Arrangement, and he has never seemed truly invested in furthering the plans of the executives Below. Yet, even after all these years together, it didn't occur to Aziraphale until recently that there was something else that sets Crowley apart: he isn't proud of his Fall. In fact, if the angel didn't know any better, he would say Crowley regrets it.
(Aka 5 times Aziraphale fails to notice Crowley's pain surrounding the Fall, and the 1 time he does).

Summary
A human shouldn't be able to hurt an angel. So when Crowley finds Aziraphale injured, he certainly can't leave him like that. After all, having an angel in his debt is proper demonic work. At least, that's what Crowley tells himself.
Aziraphale is honestly more concerned with his quota than his injuries. When Crowley offers to help, an Arrangement is born.

Someday I'll Walk Out of Here Again by Lissomedi
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
28 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
“You forget, we’re different.”
“I’ve never forgotten—”
“You forget people treat us differently.”
And for the first time, Aziraphale realized that perhaps Crowley’s sullen mood wasn’t just run-of-the-mill demon attitude.
(The angel and demon get stuck in a cellar. Aziraphale has pleasant memories of the place, while Crowley does...not. Post Not-Pocalypse.)

Somebody to Love by Bookwormgal for Feekins
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
08 May 2020
Tags
Summary
Everyone knows that demons can’t feel love. It was one of those well-established facts that no one even bothered to doubt anymore. The sky is blue, the Ineffable Plan was beyond comprehension or understanding, angels do not question or doubt Her commands, and demons can’t love. Angels could sense love and none of them ever sensed love in the presence of demons. Everyone considered that to be conclusive evidence and moved on. Believing otherwise was foolish and a waste of time.
But while it was considered an unquestionable fact of the universe, it wasn’t quite accurate. Demons were perfectly capable of feeling love. Any form of love. Despite common knowledge and despite the fact that the Fall ensured that they could no longer sense Her love, demons can experience love.
What demons can’t do, however, is feel love and survive.

Rainbows in the Dark by Sunjinjo

Summary
"Crowley, the demons I saw at your trial all had animal traits. So I was wondering… where is yours? Your… well I suppose it’d be a snake, wouldn’t it…”
Neil Gaiman suggested Good Omens’ demons are their creatures, not the human forms underneath (the Ratatouille theory). I really love snakes. I couldn't help finishing that train of thought.
Can be read as a standalone work.

One Golden Glance (Of What Should Be) by Sunjinjo

Summary
His first batch of pieces had all been starscapes, and increasingly big and dramatic ones at that. It’d turned out he’d really needed to get a lot of pent-up celestial creativity out of his system.
Crowley discovers a new hobby. It might actually be a really old one, though, and the same sort of applies to Aziraphale.
