    Summary

    “Well, this brings back memories,” Aziraphale says eventually, a chuckle warm in his voice.

    “Our first date,” Crowley agrees sarcastically, wriggling to wrap the blanket more tightly around him. It really is soft. “You wore white and a near palpable patina of nervous guilt.”
     
    “I was giving serious consideration to the concept of ineffability for the very first time,” Aziraphale says, with dignity. “It would leave anyone a bit preoccupied. You were so curious, about everything,” he adds, a wistful lilt to his voice that Crowley doesn’t quite understand, though it makes his heart do strange things in his chest.

    Another conversation in the rain, 6000 years later.

    Summary

    Five times Crowley tries to tell Aziraphale he loves him, and fails miserably.

    And one time—

    One time…

    Well, one time he tries again and still cocks it up, because let’s face it: he’s a bit of a disaster, really.

    Summary

    The looming threat of searing pain and the memory of blood pouring out of his mouth is enough of a deterrent to keep Crowley from ever daring to attempt saying the word Love again but nothing -

    not even God Herself -

    could stop him from showing it.

    Summary

    “Oh. Yeah.” Crowley shuffled his feet, looking surprisingly boyish. “Come to New York with me tomorrow?"

    Aziraphale blinked. “Why?"

    “To see how Warlock is doing,” Crowley said, as if that was obvious. “You’re a terrible father for an angel. I’m a demon, and I make a far better mother."

    "We're not his parents! He has two perfectly good parents of his own!"

    "Fine."

    ---

    Aziraphale is almost certain that Crowley is only being perverse. But demons are unaccountable creatures, and Aziraphale finds himself flying to New York with him, for some high-end hedonism, and at exactly which point did Crowley start referring to him as his husband anyway?

    Summary

    He moves without conscious thought, instinct taking over as he lurches forward, grasps Aziraphale by the lapels of his coat, and shoves. Aziraphale moves with him, like they’re dancing and he’s trusting Crowley to lead. They stumble together into the nearest wall and as they collide, Crowley hisses in his face.

    Summary

    That was no way to think, just because a stupid ex-nun misinterpreted a blamelessly hostile situation. That way lay madness. That way lay an angel with disapprovingly pursed lips and pitying pale eyes and “My dear boy, I’m so *very* sorry, but...” and Armageddon would come as a relief after that, really.

    Summary

    "Aziraphale debated internally a bit, but curling his arm up around Crowley’s shoulder really was more comfortable. He knew he was being silly. He knew a dance was nothing and if it made Crowley happy after his feelings had apparently been hurt it wasn’t much to ask, but—it was the demon. He had the literally infernal talent to make even the simplest, least dubious things feel like a temptation. Aziraphale knew it was Crowley's nature, and not strictly saying his fault, but it did sometimes make things feel *complicated*."

    Biarritz, South of France, 1921. Aziraphale stumbles into Crowley apparently working the hotels and casinos as a gigolo.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    15/7. Completed.

    Summary

    Aziraphale smiled very politely at the nearest waiter. “A jug of wine from the north-eastern slopes of Quintus’s vineyards, if you’d be so kind. The yield from eight years past. If you have it.” He turned back to Crowley. “A very peculiar thing happened to this batch— it’s full of all these little bubbles. Nobody seems to know why, but it turns out to pair terrifically well with oysters.”

    Crowley rolled his eyes, but since he was wearing sunglasses, nobody saw him do it.

    Summary

    If Aziraphale is going to be carrying out temptations at the young King's Court, he should be properly dressed for it. Crowley is more than willing to help. Unfortunately, he's not all that good at resisting temptation itself, especially when it involves well-turned angelic legs in saracen silk hose.

    Summary

    Aziraphale would forgive him, of course. He always did. That had always been the Hell of it. It had been stupid to think things would be any different this time.

    It was a game they had been playing a long, long time, and he was all kinds of fool and idiot if he was going to suddenly start taking it seriously, even if only a few days ago he had thought Aziraphale was dead.

    Our side. It would be nice, really nice, if there was an *our side.* To be honest with himself, there was nothing in all the universe he wanted more.

    “I’ll pick you up at eight,” he repeated to the closed door, and headed back to the flat to take it out on the plants.

    Summary

    "The internet, Aziraphale!" Crowley says. "This is what the internet is for. This is, quite literally, what the internet is for."

    "Oh," Aziraphale says, and Crowley knows, he just knows, that Aziraphale is going to say something about how it's jolly useful for hard-to-find first editions and tickets for the Last Night of the Proms.

    or, Aziraphale and Crowley find sex confusing.

    Summary

    'So you're going to start, what – praying?'

    'I already pray,' Aziraphale says, primly. 'I am an angel.'

    'Yes, but it's different, what you do,' Crowley says, impatiently. 'It's not all sitting around trying to decipher mistranslated Hebrew, and searching for the Virgin Mary in your tea leaves. You're on the staff!'

    Summary

    There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on.

     

    “Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?”

    Crowley deals, more or less, with the Fall. Also, Crowley has feelings. The angel doesn't help with that. Also, sunny rocks are very nice.

    Summary

    “Please, angel. Please.”
    He was kneeling, sunglasses off, hands open: he was on his knees in front of Aziraphale, who was wringing his hands together, seated at his desk, completely uncertain.
    “I’m not at all sure it’s a good idea—”
    “We’ve done it before.”
    “By accident. And it left its mark on you.”
    Hell, yes, it had: his ears had rung for a week, he’d seen spots and flashes before his eyes for longer still, he’d felt sunburnt right through to the heart of him, and it really didn’t matter at all, because:
    “It was fucking incredible.”

    Aziraphale can do something for Crowley that Crowley wants more than anything else. But they've both got to be careful...

    Summary

    Aziraphale looks at Crowley, the beloved furrow of his brow, the way his lips – made for smiling, for laughter, for that indulgent smile when he does something miraculous just to bring Aziraphale joy – twist downward, at the tension in his slender limbs. Most arresting: the saltwater in his yellow eyes, the mist, the ache. They have been here six thousand times, almost: at the eclipse of their orbit, when they are so close they can almost touch, before they move apart again, before one begins to crest and the other to fall away.

    Aziraphale takes a deep breath, and releases it slowly through his nose. No more gravity; no more orbit. In the free fall, the same old laws of motion no longer apply.

    “Then come with me,” he says.
