    Summary

    Part 3 of Lift Me Up, O Lord, in which Olympic lifter Aziraphale Fell coaxed fading marathoner Anthony Crowley into a charity bicycle race, and -- despite Aziraphale's meddling family and Crowley's history of failed relationships -- things escalated. There was a meteoric fifteen minutes of fame on morning TV and the tabloids, a grudge match on the racecourse, a spectacular fall, and the unexpected experience of being lifted up.

    Now there’s a cottage. There’s a wedding plan.

    And there are still families to deal with.

    Summary

    It’s the trial of the century: bestselling mystery author Anthony Crowley stands accused of poisoning his former lover. He’s got means (arsenic), motive (the breakup), and opportunity (a meeting the night of the murder); his guilt seems certain.

    Certain, that is, to everyone except Lord Aziraphale Eastgate, rare book collector and amateur detective. Aziraphale’s not sure why he’s so convinced of Crowley’s innocence, but he’s determined to save him from the gallows--by finding the real murderer before it’s too late.

    Summary

    “We’re married now,” Crowley drawls, that voice of his making Aziraphale shiver all over again. Goodness.

    “Yes,” Aziraphale agrees, smiling rather brightly. “I suppose we are.”

    “You know what married couples do, don’t you?”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Possibly the only "saved myself for marriage" fic I've ever liked. Aziraphale's "oh goodie, none of this is a sin now because we're married" attitude is so freaking cute.

    Summary

    The first the Metatron knew about Armageddon was when Aziraphale contacted him to beg for it to be called off. Being a professional, the Metatron murmured soothing things about it all being part of the plan and rerouted the call elsewhere instead of admitting he had no idea what the principality was talking about.

    Prompt Fill in which Armageddon happened because Heaven didn't get God's email to call it off.

    Summary

    “There’s an enchanted castle West in the Hellian slopes, and apparently it comes with a prince looking for a bride or bridegroom to free him from a dark fae’s curse.”

    “I see,” Aziraphale says finally, when he realizes both Gabriel and Uriel are staring at him expectantly. “You want me to marry a beast?”

    Gabriel's mouth flattens. “I want you to take this gods’ blessed opportunity to secure your family’s future for good."

    OR

    Aziraphale is a professional quest hero who just wants to sit by the fire and read a book, if his overbearing family will ever let him; Crowley is a serpent demon who needs a gullible hero he can con into gathering some critical ingredients for a human corporation spell. Hijinks and a lot of terribly inconvenient feelings ensue.

    Summary

    For fifteen years, Aziraphale has watched his best friend go out every weekend and go home with a different man.

    He's not jealous - that sort of thing isn't for him - and he's not judging.

    He is, however, wrong. Quite spectacularly so.

    Summary

    “Isn’t this nice?” says Aziraphale with badly feigned casualness the next time Crowley stops by for a late night drink.

     

    Crowley is all set to reply, words lined up in his mouth waiting to go, when Aziraphale adds,

    “I mean, all of the books and furniture and bottles of wine and things?”

     

     

    Aziraphale nests. Crowley relearns some crucial facts about angelic courtship rituals.

    Summary

    Aziraphale merely smiled and talked slower, the same way one would to a small child or, if one was being particularly patronising, to the Lord of Flies.

    “I’m here because you have something of mine. If you’d be so kind as to return it, I’ll happily be on my way.”

    Summary

    “That’s called infatuation, dear.” Tracy is attempting to hide her smile and seems entirely too sober considering she’s had just as much to drink as Crowley.

    “Nnnn, noo, n you don’ understand!” Crowley flings an arm in the air to try and convey the point, “is, is, hes jst, they’re jis” Crowley pinwheels the arm, “did I tell you about the table? I told you about the table right? And the dears and the pipping, pip-pip? Smile, told you?”

    ***

    The thing is about Crowley's new neighbor, the thing is that Crowley is very, very gay.

    Summary

    CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
    AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
    CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
    AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
    CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.

     

    ***

    Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

    But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

    Summary

    After Nope-mageddon, Aziraphale feels more confident and relaxed. He no longer feels like he needs to keep Crowley at arm's length for their own protection. He can finally tell Crowley that he cares about him more than "friendship" can describe.

    But he doesn't want there to be any chance for miscommunication. But directly talking about feelings in the past with the demon tended to be uncomfortable, so he would need to be a little subtler than that. Of course, human flirting wouldn't work. They already enjoyed traditional human dating activities together, but only as friends. Aziraphale needed something that Crowley couldn't possibly misunderstand.

    Well, perhaps he could research what counted as demonic methods of courting someone. That should be familiar enough for Crowley that he would understand Aziraphale's intentions. What could possibly go wrong?

    Nice is a four letter word. No proper demon would want something nice or soft. Or do nice things in the pursuit of someone that might be described with such words.

    An inability to actually say things directly leads to showing them instead. Getting together in the week post-Armageddon for some comforting couch cuddles.

    AU, retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”. Quite honestly, sending Aziraphale off into the forest to be held hostage by a giant snake in a cursed castle isn’t even the worst thing Gabriel’s ever done to him, and at least it means a change of scene. But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting…

    Summary

    "Ngk. I am. Actually." Crowley puffed up his chest. "Local highscore holder in Pokémon. Champion, that's me."

    "No!" Aziraphale gasped. Crowley's preening intensified. "What an honour!"

    "I know the... the pokydox by heart." He boasted proudly, and reveled in the adoring looks Aziraphale was throwing him.*

      *He had the nagging feeling that this might come back to bite him.

    "I'll have to tell my godson I met you!" Aziraphale exclaimed brightly.*

      *Yup, there it was.

    ---

    Crowley runs into the man of his dreams - quite literally so - while playing Pokémon Go, and proceeds to swindle his way into his heart with made-up pokédex entries and unsubstantiated boasts.

    (Little does he know, Aziraphale might not have been entirely honest, either...)

    The people watch as the moon grapples with the darkness, caught in fear that the darkness comes to devour the moon whole.

    They do not know that what they witness is not conflict, but devotion.

    [Or: the fearsome dragon of the seas pays a visit to Aziraphale, god of the moon. The dragon goes by many names, but to Aziraphale, he is always just Crowley.]
