Summary
Crowley didn't look up immediately when he heard the shop door open; he was just in the middle of finishing off a complicated bouquet, and the blasted ribbon was being difficult about things.
"Just a sec," he said, scowling as the end slipped away from him again.
There was a pause. And then a voice, softly, "There you are."
An unusual customer walks into Anthony Crowley's flower shop with a very specific request. AU, series, complete, angst with a happy ending.
(Series Summary: For three centuries, Crowley has been reincarnated over and over as a human with no memory of his past. Aziraphale has tried to find a way to restore him to his true self, but all he seems to do is hurt them both. This time, he only means to steal a brief moment when he walks into Crowley's flower shop. But Crowley can't let it go...)

Summary
Crowley is a far better demon than people give him credit for...after all; how many demons would come up with such a wonderful idea - making an angel Fall. He knows exactly how to do it, too, nothing could go wrong...

Summary
Fifteen years have passed since Aziraphale returned to Heaven, and still sometimes Crowley feels shell shocked and embarrassed and grief-stricken. And mostly, he still feels numb. Fifteen years isn’t really so long, in the grand scheme of things, and yet these have somehow been the longest years of his existence. He can almost feel time crawling by, laughing at him.
But slowly, so slowly, Crowley began to try again. To try harder. To find a piece of himself that Aziraphale had not touched. To find a piece of himself that does not need changing.
On his good days, he can open up. His friends come over to the flat, once in a while, and Maggie brings new records and Muriel brings burnt cookies that no-one complains about because they're so proud of them. They'll exchange stories and simply enjoy each other's company for a few hours.
And sometimes, he feels almost alright.
Until Crowley turns around and Aziraphale is there, standing in front of him, trying to stop the world from ending all over again.

Summary
Crowley grins in a way that’s entirely mocking. “You miss your tatty waistcoat. And your plaid bowtie.”
Aziraphale bristles weakly. “My waistcoat isn’t tatty. It’s vintage velvet.”
Crowley’s grin melts into something fond. It warms something inside Aziraphale that he thought he’d lost forever, staring at Crowley in wonderment.
*
Or: Aziraphale goes to Heaven, then finds his way back home.

Summary
Something in Crowley snaps. He’s hearing what his heart needs, what it’s wanted to hear for ages, yet instead of long-sought relief all he feels is anger so bright and hot, he feels like he might catch on fire. A growl rips from his throat, unbidden and he stalks out of the room, out of the house, out into the raging storm.
It is no match to the storm brewing inside.
He doesn’t bother counting.
It will do nothing.
Lightning passes through him and he roars along. It hits a tree nearby and the emotional release only leaves him all the more empty.
Even now he can feel Aziraphale’s presence, watchful, careful. His angel in despair. But still looking out for him.
-(or; Aziraphale uncovers what Heaven was actually trying to accomplish by appointing him as a leader, grovels and gets his priorities straight. And the world does not end this time around either.)
