    Summary

    One day Aziraphale, a somewhat reclusive bookshop owner, has his life invaded by a neighbour's cat. As he cat-proofs the bookshop (and maybe buys a few toys to keep the little beast occupied with something other than mischief), Aziraphale starts exchanging notes with the cat's owner (solely for the purposes of ensuring the cat's well-being, of course). The mysterious man (at least Aziraphale hopes it's a man) is kind and caring, funny and insistent on demonising his cat. Oh, if only there was a reason for them to meet in person...

    Don't worry, Bentley the cat is on it.

    Summary

    An old family curse brings Dr Aziraphale Fell, professor of Religious History and Folkloric Traditions, into correspondence with Mr Anthony Crowley, whose family is said to be cursed.

    Neither anticipates how quickly, or how willingly their letters would begin to matter.

    What follows is a slow, intimate exchange about curses, books, loneliness, belonging... and the unexpected ways two lives can begin to align, one letter at a time.

    Summary

    "...it never felt fair to ask anyone to be my partner while I was still half in the closet.”

    Crowley shrugged a shoulder. “Admirable."

    “Do you think so? I am glad. I thought it might have been stupid of me.” He felt his face warm and he flicked a glance at his glass, considering the level of the sherry. This wasn’t the man he’d come here to meet, he reminded himself. This wasn’t a date.

    “Didn’t say it wasn’t stupid,” Crowley drawled, that tug at the corner of his sardonic mouth twitching again. He leaned forward then, his neck stretching as he leant his chin on his hand. “No rule saying something can’t be two things at once.”

    Crowley would know.

    . . .
    Middle aged dating is a nightmare. Nobody Erelah met had sent any excitement racing up his spine. It was his luck that the one man that piqued his interest was one who had rescued him from a date going wrong, and said man didn’t seem to have any interest in anything but friendship. Well, he supposed he would take what he could get.

    Anthony Crowley has his own reasons for not dating. Expectations vs reality were too far apart in his experience, and he desperately doesn't want to disappoint anyone, especially his new friend.

    Summary

    There’s a bar at the end of the world, a liminal space at the edge of time, in a place that doesn't exist on any map, Where gods, monsters, and immortals go to lick their wounds and the broken-hearted gather.Here regret is drowned in aged whiskey, scars are compared and occasionally drinkers laugh too loudlyi in an effort just to forget.

    Each drink poured carries a story, each silence stretches longer than a mortal life. It's not about redemption, it's about remembering, about surviving, about telling the tale with a little more flair than the last time. Pull up a chair. The night is eternal, and misery loves company. A found-family crossover of the beautifully broken, sharp tongues, and bad decisions.

    Summary

    When Anthony J. Crowley collapses in a bar and wakes up in a hospital with a blood alcohol level that defies both science and common sense, the Princeton-Plainsboro diagnostic team is baffled—and mildly terrified. Enter Dr Gregory House: genius, misanthrope, and, unbeknownst to his colleagues, a lot more knowledgeable on angelic health issues than one would suspect. As the case spirals into the absurd (even by House standards), the team races to diagnose the impossible, while House begins to suspect the real issue isn’t medical. But hey, what’s one immortal crisis between frenemies?

    Summary

    Peace is destined to be broken, is it not?

    The door to Aziraphale’s bookshop is flung open, and just as he’s turning to announce that they are, in fact, quite closed, he comes face-to-face with the drawing of the meteors that he did for last month’s periodical. It’s a miracle that he can even recognize them, Aziraphale thinks to himself, considering how close the page is being shoved to his nose.

    “Get out of my periodical, angel,” seethes Crowley.

    ***

    After their argument at St. James’ Park leaves Aziraphale feeling the need for something new in his life, he decides to take some art classes. They lead to a job with some rather unexpected consequences.

    Summary

    Millennia. They've been together for nearly that long, though I suppose the messier together-together bits took a bit longer.

    But it's simply preposterous. Surely nothing that untoward is happening. Has ever happened. It’s just too preposterous. Who would believe it?

    Summary

    Occasionally, Heaven sends down another of their angels to show face and wrack up some points for the good guys before they're allowed to come home.

    Finding wiles to thwart is difficult though and the Earth is large and noisy and dirty. What is a poor, homesick angel to do?

    Why, if you can't find a demon, may as well call one. It's thwarting all the same, right?

    Crowley is used to leading these idiots a merry chase by now.

    Summary

    Orders come in secretive whispers driven through his skull, through the scattering of ashes in fireplaces and by the scrolls taped to the feet of annoyed seagulls. Somebody is making their way through the animal kingdom and it's completely uncalled for.

    Crowley is pretty sure somebody is messing with him. If Hell wants him to bless a family and cure a nun though, then that is what he is going to do.

    Aziraphale understands God's plan is ineffable and never notices anything is amiss as he heads off to fulfil another temptation.

    Summary

    A demon could get in real trouble, doing the right thing…

     

    Crowley: A demon who did not so much fall as bungee jump. Having a soft spot for humans is a major failing in a demon, and heaven knows he’s not as evil as perhaps he should be. They really do know, even if Crowley doesn’t.

    So when Crowley unexpectedly ends up in Heaven, it’s very much a case of “F your Forgiveness” as he tries desperately to get back down where he belongs again, with a little help from Aziraphale of course.

    And yes, I made Aziraphale, Crowley, and even Gabriel bitmojis. At first just for the hell of it while chatting plot with friends, and then I realised that there are some weirdly pertinent pre-made poses available which fit the narrative, so what the heck. I flung them in. Just for this fic as a one-off thing. Not going to do it with another one though.

    9 chapters, 24k words, story complete.

    With thanks to TogetherAgain for random brainstorming and support, plus many others for ideas of some of Crowley’s doomed plans, including Bowonnie, Elwyst, Crowley_Kitten, Jenna P. And also to Raechem for beta reading.

    Summary

    An entity whose entire life consisted of jumping between dimensions and borrowing bodies of those who passed on suddenly lands in the world of Good Omens. It seems, however, that this is the last stop.
    Why here, and why now? To answer those questions he must find out Crowley's past, his demise, and uncover the secrets held by the worst humanity has to offer.
    ...and who is this chubby angel that keeps following him?

    Summary

    While it's unfortunate for one’s car to break down in the middle of the countryside, the pretty-as-a-postcard Tadfield could hardly be considered the worst place Anthony J. Crowley has ever been. Of course, it doesn’t help that it looks like it hasn’t yet seen the turn of the millennia, let alone this decade, but perhaps that’s just what he needs as he crawls his way out of the Hell he’s endured for the past fifteen years. Maybe the last thirty, if he's honest with himself.

    Though he could do without the rain.

    When Aziraphale Fell happens upon him and offers him shelter from the storm in his little family-run antique repair shop, neither are expecting it to change everything. The angel with his white umbrella and his tartan bowtie doesn’t expect this mysterious stranger to be able to fill the timely vacancy in his shop or the quiet of his life, but they’ve both had experience in restoring once-beloved items back to their full glory.

    Perhaps Crowley hasn’t fallen quite so far that he wouldn’t fit in with the rest of Aziraphale’s ragtag team of eccentric restoration experts. And perhaps they may be able to turn that talent on themselves and each other, and seal the cracks in their own hearts.

    Summary

    Every night, huddled in whatever doorway, tunnel, or bench he had found, his reluctantly-sentient shopping-trolley standing guard, Aziraphale had the same dream. He did not dream of shooting the boy, Adam, the only thing he knew about himself, his only memory apart from his name. Although that thought haunted his days, it never bothered him at night.

    At night, he dreamed of a garden.

    He stood on some sort of rise, overlooking the garden, lush and green, in a dry and arid place.

    The sight only made him sad.

    It began to rain, and the rain was somehow strange and new.

    Beside him was a fire, a star serpent, a candle.

    Aziraphale unfurled a beautiful, white umbrella to protect the flame from the rain.

    And then he woke to the cold.

    Summary

    There are two very important facts:
    1) Aziraphale is dead.
    2) None of this is real.

    -----

    Crowley’s throat tightens. “My angel,” he says. “My best friend. He’s dead, you know.”

    Aziraphale blinks and then blood drains from his face. “No, no. Crowley. No. I’m here. I’m right in front of you.”

    “I know,” Crowley says. “Isn’t it amazing, what a dream can do?”

    Summary

    The angel Zophiel and the demon Ramiel have one simple job: to observe and file reports about their field agents on Earth, the Principality Aziraphale and the Tempter Crowley. But when they decide to watch them together, the job becomes something more...

     

    That is: where did Michael get those “Earth Observation files,” and what’s the story of the angelic fan (and their demonic counterpart) who was hiding them?

    Summary

    When new prophecies begin to emerge, Crowley and Aziraphale hurry to make sense of what they mean but all becomes clear when they find the Archangel Michael broken and injured on the doorstep of the bookshop.

As word spreads, the forces of Hell become involved and Crowley is forced to face the truth of his past and choose the path of his future if they have any chance of restoring God to power in Heaven.

    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?

    Summary

    Aziraphale finally finds a book that can shock him: a romance novel called An Archangel’s Mercy with an uncomfortably familiar pair of models on the cover. Fifteen years later, he and Crowley finally have a conversation about it.


    Crowley picked up the novel, and Aziraphale watched his eyebrows climb as its contents registered. Crowley flipped it over and read the blurb on the back, then let out a low whistle.

    “If you’d told me this was what you were springing on me, I’d have kept the vodka.” He drained half his wine in one go. “So, who’s getting blasted to kingdom come once Michael gets wind of this?”

    Aziraphale kept his expression carefully neutral, looking for any sign that Crowley was toying with him. There was nothing but bemused surprise in the demon’s posture or face.

    “I’d rather thought it might have been, well…” Aziraphale grimaced and bobbed his head.

    “What, me?” Crowley laughed, his eyes going wide.
