    Summary

    Crowley died. Sort of. It didn’t stick.
    Now he’s back - not a demon, not a human, just... mostly undead, vaguely unlabelled, and maybe in love with an angel he’s never seen before in his life. Or has he?

    Aziraphale is finally done pretending he doesn’t remember. Or want. Or care. Turns out, 6,000 years of repressed affection, divine bureaucracy, and one very snarky bastard who keeps returning can wear a principality down.

    They were always going to find each other again.
    Maybe this time they get it right.

    This is a story about breaking the cycle. About memory, desire, undead metaphysics, jealousy, fate, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

    Also: titans, kissing, drag queens, glam rock, a bench in Berkeley Square, a cat, always London.
    And a neon sign that says exactly what you think it does.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley try to find their way back home to each other and prove their love against ineffable odds:

    "Aziraphale remembered more about the first war than most.

    As the flames rose higher, his vessel on a crash course with the Earth, smoke filling the sky around him, ichor dripping at his feet, he couldn’t help but think of the first war, the one that had caused the divide between angels and demon before the beginning.

    And now it’s his turn to fall..."

    Summary

    Crowley strolled through the garden of the Selsey house, pruners in hand, scrutinizing the plants with a practiced eye. He snipped a yellowing leaf off one of his lilies. Once he might have pulled the whole plant up and made an example out of it. He would have hissed threats at the rest of them as he did. But now he just clipped the yellow leaf and tucked it into the pocket of his black gardening apron. He continued his inspection of the plants, moving along the raised beds, looking for any hint of imperfection among the foliage and deep red and purple blooms. Everything was as it should be until he rounded the corner and saw a little patch of yellow daffodils peeking out of one of the beds.
    “Angel?” he called to Aziraphale who sat on a bench next to a nearby fountain, reading a book with a little tray of fruit and cheese.
    “Yes, dear?” He said without looking up from his book.
    “Why are there daffodils in my garden?”
    ______________________________________

    After the events of Part 1, Crowley and Aziraphale navigate the new dynamics of their relationship, play parent to Muriel, and try to stop the end of the world... again.

    Summary

    Aziraphale comes back to Earth and the Bookshop looking for Crowley after stopping the Second Coming. It's their first reunion since he took on the position as Supreme Archangel. Crowley is very wary, to say the least. Is it too late for them to mend things? Written before the trailer was released, so this contains no spoilers from the Good Omens 3 trailer. Rated Mature as the ineffable duo explore their feelings and more (no spoilers).
    This is a gift for the wonderful artist GaHellHimself that can be found here on AO3 and on tumbler and Patreon. Please show him lots of love because his art and stories are incredible and this story was inspired by his generous GO Art Prompt, which is a sexy prompt that will feature in Chapter 2. Posting today for David Tennant's Birthday and to celebrate the release of the Good Omens 3 Trailer this past week.

    Sometimes love is just not enough. Sometimes all that can heal a broken heart is time and a little patience. But with the Second Coming on its way, will Aziraphale and Crowley get what they need?

    Summary

    It’s been months since Aziraphale returned from Heaven and they stopped the Second Coming, months of freedom and to the observer everything’s gone back to how it used to be. They are talking. About dinner plans and theatre visits and food and music. And they absolutely did talk about what happened in the bookshop. Kind of. And they are fine, absolutely fine!
    Well, they are fooling no one, least of all themselves, though they keep trying.

    One evening their issues become glaringly obvious when Crowley practically flees after Aziraphale invites him into the bookshop.

    And then Crowley goes missing.

    Summary

    "On a second glance, Aziraphale didn't look all that different--his clothes were frayed at the edges, his shoes scuffed, his bowtie missing--and hang on, was he bleeding?
    Crowley wasn't sure how he'd missed the thin trail of blood running down the side of his very-drenched head, but it was all too noticeable now.
    He found his voice again. "What are you doing here?"
    "Right," Aziraphale said. "Um..." His eyes went unfocused, and he wobbled. Crowley found himself, despite his utter shock at the situation, beginning to worry.
    "Aziraphale, what happened to you?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "You're bleeding."
    "I'm what?" Aziraphale reached up and touched the side of his head, eyes widening in surprise at the blood that smeared his fingertips. "Oh. So I am."
    "What are you--?"
    "Listen," Aziraphale said, "I'm terribly sorry to do this, because I know we aren't talking, but there's something I need to ask of you."
    Crowley nodded slowly, his worry growing the more unfocused the angel's eyes became. "And what's that?"
    "I'm afraid I need your help," Aziraphale said matter-of-factly, and toppled forward without another word."

    Summary

    Once his foot landed on the pavement of the sidewalk, he looked around and breathed it all in. Something inside himself settled at the familiar sights of Soho and quickly lifted his mood. He took a step and began walking towards his bookshop, and before he knew it, he was standing right in front of the double doors. The bell above the door announced his arrival and made him smile. His smile broadened when he saw everything looked exactly as he left it; it didn't even look like anything was sold. He stepped further in and just took in the whole place, breathing in the comforting smell of books, dust, leather, and glue. This place was home away from home; he could almost cry. He could have if the bell above the doors behind him didn't announce another presence. He whipped around to see a dark, lanky figure standing frozen in front of the doors that closed behind him. His red hair long and quiffed hung in loose curls on one side of his face, had sharp cheekbones, and wore round dark sunglasses. Aziraphale found himself wondering what the beautiful stranger's eyes looked like. Something then began to tickle the back of his mind. He didn't get long to examine it when the man's voice croaked, "You're back..."

    "Pardon?"

    Summary

    Part One of the Series "Betwixt Heaven and Hell is Paradise"

     

    In chronology of my Ineffable Family, this is Number Two

    Peace never lasts long on Whickber Street. When Maggie and Nina vanish, Crowley and Aziraphale must unravel a demonic scheme, confront old grudges, and rely on unlikely allies (including one very large rat with opinions). A story of danger, devotion, and the stubborn sort of love that keeps finding its way home.

    With gratitude to my beta readers, Ziggy Blum and Ereshkigal — all mistakes are mine alone.

    Summary

    When Aziraphale, former Supreme Archangel of Heaven's Third Choir, is unexpectedly invited to the South Downs Antiquarian Book Fair, he is not only forced to contend with the chaotic antics of humanity, he is also thrust back into the orbit of one Anthony J. Crowley: his cosmic adversary, best friend, and, despite their eight-year estrangement, the object of his incessant desires.

    As he is confronted by old ghosts, older choices, and a village determined to drag him back into the messy, inconvenient business of being known, Aziraphale is forced to confront a truth he has spent years avoiding:

    Freedom is easy. Living with it is not.

    Summary

    "Aziraphale's intentionally off-putting bookshop" is that way for a reason, because it is his home and he very rarely wants houseguests, and was only on Heaven's books as an embassy as an excuse. After the Apocanot, it becomes Crowley's home as well. When Aziraphale succumbs to his time of the millennium, it becomes a sanctuary while he is vulnerable and flightless. And also, it turns out, as the nexus of the little group of humans and one (1) demon who love him more than he ever thought was possible.

    Summary

    We're starting this story where the show left us - Aziraphale is leaving for Heaven, Crowley stays on Earth, both of them have their hearts broken, and Metatron plans a Second Coming. There's angst, pain, regret, coping mechanisms, anger, but also hope and love. Oh, and there's a boy. And ducks. (A story with eventual happy ending)

    Now, let's join Aziraphale for the conversation with Metatron, and explore what happened after...

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell is a man of few possessions and fewer friends. He does not mind, he never has. The tea he sips from is just on the edge of being too hot as he gathers a few belongings, and packs a modest meal for lunch before heading to the door. His home is small, with just one bedroom and an adjoining bath. He relishes the tight pull of the walls, he tries not to be a shut in. He's not always successful.

    Aziraphale has lived a quiet and for all intents and purposes a very human life for the last three years. A human life is the only thing he has ever known.

    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?”

    Summary

    Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can!

    (He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.)

    Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.

    Summary

    After averting Armageddon and carving out a fragile peace on Earth, Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves circling ever closer, caught between promises and fears. But when Heaven offers Aziraphale a “second chance” at power and purpose, he falters. One kiss shatters everything—Crowley bares his heart, Aziraphale retreats, and the demon storms away while the angel ascends, clinging to the illusion he can fix it all from within.

    The cracks in Heaven’s offer appear almost at once, leaving Aziraphale questioning what he’s lost, while Crowley drowns grief in reckless nights and restless silence. When fate—and the meddling hands of Heaven and Hell—forces them back together, their reunion is brittle and raw, heavy with unspoken hurt. With old wounds reopening and new dangers rising, the two must decide whether they will keep running from their pain, or break themselves open and finally find healing in each other’s arms.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley have been living among humans for 6000 years, but there have always been parts of the human experience they've chosen to avoid (like allergies, head colds, and having to use the loo).

    They've also never let hormones get in the way of making rational decisions, because they didn't have any hormones to speak of.

    That's all about to change.
