    Summary

    1941 is the London Blitz and the year that MI5 really comes into its own with the now infamous ‘double cross’ system. The service keep tabs on suspects, root out enemy agents and try to turn them into doubles.

    Anthony J Crowley is fucking great at this job. He can be sneaky, underhanded and damn ruthless but also charming and kind. It’s what makes him good at turning.

    Aziraphale is just a regular Soho bookseller who loves his shop and books and good food and wine when he’s approached by a woman claiming to be MI5, wanting to recruit him for espionage. The poor man is too trusting and gets the shock of his life when he’s approached by a charming but dangerous-looking man also claiming to be MI5.

    Crowley recruits Aziraphale to double cross a double crosser and Aziraphale takes to espionage like a duck to water.

    Danger, hijinks, and sex ensue.

    Summary

    “Aziraphale,” Crowley said to wide blue eyes, “I’m in love with you.”

    If he had any expectation of Aziraphale’s next words — and he did not, could not possibly conceive of any reaction, had never allowed himself to even imagine — it was certainly nothing close to this.

    “Oh, Crowley,” Aziraphale said with a rush of breath. “Again?”

    ----------

    Crowley confesses often. Each time is his first, and each time the last. If he didn’t know any better, he’d say someone was messing with his memories.

    If your friend gets into a sudden heat, and you get carried away yourself, surely it's smarter to stop as soon as possible, so things don't escalate too much.

    Right?

    Summary

    When Maggie opens a Yelp-page for Aziraphale's bookshop, nobody is prepared for a bunch of conspiracy theorists to find it. Unfortunately they do, and now they're trying to prove that the shop's owner must be a vampire, a hypnotist, or even something as outlandish as an angel. It probably doesn't help that Crowley keeps encouraging them...

    But despite that, even the sane parts of the internet seem to be having a blast following the bookshop's history through war, fire, romance, temporary abandonment, and a tooth-rottingly sweet happy ending – all through the lens of a couple of Yelp reviews.

    Summary

    “You’re bruised up badly,” the soft, blonde knight said with concern in his tone. “I thought it was just from whatever wiles you get up to in that ridiculous Black Knight armour of yours, but… Crowley, is that blood?!”

    A tentative finger dabbed at something wet on Crowley’s forehead, who immediately decided that being held was definitely not nice and he didn’t like it at all. Nuh-uh. “OUCH! Who is Crowley?” he hissed through the pain.

    “You are!” The knight was starting to sound panicky.

    “Oh,” Crowley answered. He needed to let that sink in for a second. ‘Crowley’. He didn’t remember being called Crowley. Surely he’d remember that, right? “That doesn’t sound very angelic, does it?”

    “It-,” the knight cut himself off while something akin to horror flashed over his features. “Why would it sound angelic, Crowley?!”


    Aziraphale finds Crowley injured and trying to head home. The problem is that ‘home’, according to a confused Crowley who seems under the frightful belief that he is still an angel, is Heaven. So Aziraphale tries to keep Crowley safe on Earth while they jog his memory.

    Summary

    The door gave way with a crack, and several large, armed men stepped into the room. They stared at Aziraphale for a long moment. A few glanced at each other, and one muttered something. The closest one drew his sword.

    And then a familiar voice said, “Aziraphale?

     

    Aziraphale is a monk at Lindisfarne. Crowley is a Viking.

    Summary

    "Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."

    "Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."

    "Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."

    "That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."

    "You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"

    "Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

    Summary

    As they approached the bookshop door, Aziraphale felt Crowley squeeze his hand. He looked up, to see Crowley eyeing their joined hands, before raising his eyebrows at Aziraphale.

    “This is new,” Crowley said, softer than his usual biting drawl.

    Aziraphale smiled warmly. “Is it?”

     

    OR, Aziraphale and Crowley saunter vaguely toward consummating their love, with plenty of laughter and playfulness along the way.

    Summary

    When Crowley unexpectedly reappears in his life after the Second Coming, Aziraphale thinks it might be his longed-for chance to amend for leaving him over two years earlier. There's only one problem: Crowley's now his slave, required to endure daily pain quotas and to submit sexually to his master or risk further torture in Heaven. Aziraphale devotes himself to alternative ways of meeting the contract terms with minimal harm to Crowley. At the same time, they gradually formulate a plan to abolish the slavery programme Upstairs and liberate abused demons. But as the weeks go on, the physical act of sex once meant only to keep Crowley safe in his placement with Aziraphale becomes increasingly intimate and fraught with unspoken feelings each is sure the other cannot return. Will they last long enough to dismantle the programme and return to a semblance of life before? Or will the anguish of a broken heart drive them apart--possibly forever?

    Summary

    The distance between “We should have wiped his memory” and “we absolutely did wipe his memory” is miles, and Crowley has made a home between them. And to be fair (not that they deserve it), Heaven was going through a lot at the time. Like, a lot a lot. Catastrophic, if all went according to Lucifer’s plan. Record keeping for memory wipes wasn't exactly the priority.

    The angel that missed the processing of his scheduled wipe faced no consequences because their negligence was never discovered. Crowley faced many consequences, most were agonizing, but at least Crowley avoided some consequences. He slid under the radar. He escaped into the night with a Starmaker’s memory.
    _________________

    Crowley has been loitering in the Universal Creation Grid for, well, basically all of time. And he wants something he can't have.

    Aziraphale wants to kill the Metatron, among other things. He also wants something he can't have.

    Muriel wants a cat. That's relatively attainable, all things considered.

    Summary

    Aziraphale has finally come of age and is being presented to society to find a suitable alpha to provide children and carry on the Easterling legacy.
    To bad she has no interest in any of that, and is more than capable of letting that opinion be known.

    At least until she crosses paths with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own.

    Summary

    The second coming thwarted, Crowley and Aziraphale head off in the Bentley towards the South Downs. But after six thousand years of waiting, and now suddenly not having to, Crowley can't stop looking at him. When he discovers he can touch Aziraphale as well, laying a testing hand against his thigh, it becomes inevitable that they don't quite make it all the way to the cottage before having to touch each other quite a lot more.
    First time hand jobs in the Bentley, parked in a quiet lane in the countryside.

    Summary

    “Listen. Fell. I...I might, uh, have an idea.”
    “You do?” Aziraphale said, and hated the hopeful way he said it. “I’ll do it.”
    “You...won’t like it.”
    “Will it keep me out of prison?”
    “Maybe. Maybe the both of us. For now. Ideally.”
    “Then yes.”
    Crowley’s expression tightened, and Aziraphale wasn’t sure if Crowley wanted to cry, or laugh. “You really, really won’t like it.”
    “I’ll like prison less.” He responded plainly.
    Crowley’s face twisted into something soft at first, just for a second, before searing into a careful little smirk, and Aziraphale knew that smile, that Cheshire cat smile, much too well to not be cautious.
    “Crowley, dear. What are you doing on the floor?”
    He cleared his throat. “Angel. Remember when I said you wouldn’t like it? Well, uh, here we are.” His smile grew awkwardly, apologetically, and Aziraphale had a sinking feeling about it.
    “Angel. Will you marry me?”
    -----
    Crowley and Aziraphale plan a fake marriage to avoid having to testify against each other in court...they get much more than they bargained for.

    Summary

    “But you admit it! You did tempt me!”

    “I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”

    He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”

    “Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”

    “You look terrible, by the way. Wow, you are not okay. Well, lucky you, I know, it’s been a while, but I am here to help. Sorry it took so long. We were a little distracted, but eventually, Bee and I concluded that maybe, slightly, we, and especially I, kind of owed you one.”

    In which Gabriel conveniently happens to have a low-power time travel device lying around, generously decides to donate it to Aziraphale so Aziraphale can use it to thwart the next apocalypse, and Aziraphale immediately uses it instead to try to fix That Conversation. Surely with enough chances, he can get it right?

    Summary

    Heaven is most displeased with their erring Earth agent, Aziraphale. His little act with the Hellfire was all well and good, but after the flames died down, the archangels had to wonder just how he'd done it. It's not the sort of skill one likes to leave with only Aziraphale. They have to find out how he did it. The only problem is that there's no way he'll tell them. He won't tell anyone.

    Except, perhaps...one particular demon.
