    Summary

    Two years have gone since Aziraphale returned from Heaven, and nothing has really changed between him and Crowley. Aziraphale isn’t ready – and thankfully, Crowley seems understanding and patient.

    However, one day Crowley shows up in the bookshop, drenched and evasive. Over the following months, the demon becomes more distant, preoccupied with texts and calls. Has Hell found a way to ensnare the demon once again - or is it something else entirely?

    Perhaps, in order not to lose Crowley, Aziraphale has to change.

    This story can be read as a stand-alone, but it is also a companion fic to Love of My Life, Love of My Existence

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautiful, agonizing, cathartic - not so much post season 2 fix-it, but more of a tear it all down and try to address the cracks in the foundation. Aziraphale’s journey. Best read with its companion fic “Love of My Life, Love of My Existence” (Crowley’s journey). I went back and forth and it enhanced both exponentially.

    Summary

    Two years have gone since Aziraphale returned from Heaven, and nothing has really changed between him and Crowley. Crowley aches for more: to talk, to love – but Aziraphale isn’t ready. And Crowley, finally, grows impatient…

    Crowley hadn’t meant for it to happen. During his long stint on Earth, it had only happened twice before. Mariam had been brilliant, her astrolabes even more so. More importantly, she had been curious, nonjudgmental. Leonardo had shared many of her traits – but he had also been more of a bastard, tricking Crowley into staying longer than he had planned. When he was laid to rest, Crowley had sworn on two things. First, to never stay around long enough to see anyone dear to him perish ever again. He had kept that promise until the bookshop burned (and maybe longer, depending on the definition of perishing). Second, to never again get involved with a human, their fragility and mortality making the heartache too inevitable for it to be worth it.

    He kept that one until Oscar.

    Summary

    Crowley finds comfort wherever he can in the absence of his angel, and not in the healthiest of ways. The journey to find closure in the flesh of another is a long and hollow one.
    Pray for him, won't you?

    Summary

    A professor doing his best to start over and a barista still flogging himself for mistakes of the past meet cute and hit it off like a house on fire. Excellent! Now can they make something sweet out of their broken bits and partially healed lives with the help of a small band of odd and oddly familiar friends? (and frenemies?) (SPOILER: Yes. The answer is yes. Absolutely. Hallelujah and amen.) [Complete!]
