Summary
Fresh off a bitter divorce, Aziraphale fabricates a perfect marriage to get hired at a wedding magazine—just a stepping stone on the way to his dream career. It's a foolproof plan, until he needs to produce said husband for the magazine's annual couples retreat.
Enter Crowley, his best friend's mysterious cousin, who agrees, for his own reasons, to play fake husband for a week—no strings attached, no messy complications.
One problem: the more Aziraphale discovers about the real man behind the act, the less fake his feelings become.
Aziraphale thought the hardest part would be fooling everyone else…

Summary
But it did rather give him an idea. He had been withholding his own affection since realising the extent of his feelings, terrified of taking advantage of Charles’ kindness. Yet now Charles knew all, and, although he did not return those feelings, still accepted Edwin as completely as he always had.
Surely, then, he would not mind if Edwin continued to speak the truths of his heart?Or: Five ways Edwin shows his love for Charles, and one way Charles returns it all.

In the Margins by thisisshiny
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
10 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The London Library is Dr. Aziraphale Fell’s cathedral of calm - the tea in the Member's Room, his notes in immaculate rows in the Reading Room, silence thick enough to hear the dust settle.
But then a stranger dares to scrawl clever little messages in the margins of his favourite books. Outrageous! Inexcusable! And yet… somehow, utterly irresistible.
Anthony Crowley loathes his job and rebels against the futility of life by scribbling wicked little asides in priceless London Library books, never expecting an answer.
Until someone writes back. Someone insufferably prim, precise and ... fascinating.
What begins as a literary battle of wits might just unfold into an adventure neither of them anticipated.

Summary

After all, Crowley is a consummate professional with a troubled dating history who has learned from his past mistakes and has sworn off love himself: he’s certainly not going to fall for the charms of an extremely fussy bookseller… or is he?
Between dubious romantic prospects, far too much meddling, ridiculous antics and a developing connection, Made in Hell’s success rate might not be the only thing on the line here.❤️🔥 NOW COMPLETE ❤️🔥

Summary
Charles Rowland has it all figured out. He’s going to go to school, play hockey on a scholarship, and get a good job. That is his masterplan, and nothing is going to stand in his way.
Not even his lack of ice time. Or his questionable grades.
Thankfully, his new friend Crystal has the answer to all of this in the form of her best friend and world-famous figure skater, Edwin Payne.
They might just fall in love if they don’t kill each other first.

Summary
Still gobsmacked at having a reflection again, Charles lifted his hand to do something daft like wave at it.
Except his reflection beat him to it, touching his left hand to his cheek. There was something a bit too awed in its eyes. “My reflection…”
Charles wasn’t proud of it. He shrieked.
It was a familiar sound, except it wasn’t one Charles had ever made. And the mirror was on the other side of the desk, wasn’t it? Which meant…
“Charles?” said Charles’ not-reflection.
“Oh, bugger,” said Charles, and heard the sharp edges of Edwin’s cut-glass voice.Or: A swapped shapeshifter potion gone very wrong, and then very right.

Summary
When Niko, working her way through the Dead Boy Detective Agency's entire extensive library, finds a way to banish David back to Hell once and for all, Crystal can't say no to her. It doesn't matter how much she doubts her own capabilities or if she doesn't really want to face David again. They need to get rid of him. For the agency. For Crystal herself.
Except David isn't interested in going quietly into that good night, and their carefully laid out banishment doesn't work. And Charles? Charles has never been interested in seeing his friends hurt. When David tries to pull Crystal through one of his portals, Charles takes her place. Now, while Niko hangs back at the office to come up with another solution to banish David, Crystal and Edwin have to track David down before he can destroy Charles' existence, send him back to Hell, and, oh yeah, turns out what they need might be genuine forgiveness from one of David's victims—aka, Crystal's old friends.

Summary
“The effects of the truth potion should not last too long, but I could still look into a few potential counterspells for it.” Edwin looks Charles carefully over, his eyes full of concern, and it probably shouldn’t, but it still fills Charles’ stomach with a pooling warmth. He loves to be the center of Edwin’s attention, always, and especially like this, when Edwin’s extra soft and gentle with him, when he’s open with his affection and doesn’t hesitate to show Charles how much he cares about him. “What do you think, Charles?”
“I think we should shag.”

Summary
Charles decides it’s been quite long enough, Edwin needs an answer, any answer’s better than none, but no matter how hard he tries Charles still doesn’t have an answer - so he goes out and buys a truth potion and drinks it. This does not go as smoothly as he had planned.

Is it obvious (that I'm hopelessly in love with you)? by IsThereLifeOnMars81
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
05 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Charles has certainly been doing a lot of thinking since the detectives move back to London- Edwin's confession has practically been the only thing on his mind since their return from hell.
Of course, he wouldn’t dare mention any of this to Edwin, not yet. Not when he isn't completely sure of his feelings just yet.
Which is why it really is extremely inconvenient when Charles spills a truth potion on himself.

A Short History of Almost Something by dear_monday, two_ravens

10 Nov 2024

Summary
June 16th 2007.
Edwin doesn’t think about the Blitz, and the way you could hear the bombs falling, even deep underground in the depths of the Athenaeum. He always harboured a particular dislike for the doodlebugs, and the ponderous tick-tick-tick of them as they made their way to their final destination. The way the ticking would stop, and the moment of silence as the bomb fell, before the explosion.
Charles’ mouth drops open on a gasp, the call of the magic possessing Edwin finding its answer. Edwin can feel it rising up through his feet, through his whole body, like a tidal wave.
Just before it closes over his head, he says, “Charles—”
Tick-tick-tick-tick. Boom.

Summary
July 21st 1969.
Edwin, eyelids fluttering shut, yields to his gravity. Lips sealed over lips, Edwin opens, and Thomas fills him with his air, his smoke, that thick, heady tang, passed from mouth to mouth. Edwin draws it steadily into his lungs, a smile teasing the corners of his mouth at the thought of how he would have coughed it back into Thomas’ face when they first made their acquaintance. He doesn’t partake on his own time, but he has long learned to embrace the little luxuries Thomas brings into his life for what they are to him; gifts from far-off lands. Be it South America, Spain, or simply the streets of Soho; each as distant as the next to Edwin, holed up in his esoteric bunker.
“Mm.” Thomas breaks away with a sigh. “Sounds like you're screwed.”
Edwin exhales, eyes flickering open to watch the smoke curl from their lips to the ceiling. Mingling amongst the garlanded string-lights Thomas had conjured into being with a snap of his fingers for 'mood lighting', blurring them, swirling them. Their own little galaxy. He plucks the joint from Thomas’ fingertips, neatly, and tucks it between his own lips with a sly smile. “I certainly hope to be.”

Summary
It's a lovely winter day in the 31st century, and the husbands have been happily married for over a thousand years. There's just one problem: Thanks to a temporary forgetting potion, the last thing Crowley can remember is sitting at a bus stop all the way back in 2019. Aziraphale tries to help him catch up as gently as possible while they wait for his memories to return.
This takes place after my previous future fic, but can be read as a stand-alone!
