Bookmarker's Notes
By the time it came to the edge of the Forest the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, "There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."
-A. A. Milne, The House at Pooh Corner

"It's sinful and obscene. Someone is going to see, someone is going to know, and Crowley doesn't want anyone to know - fuck, he wants everyone to know."

Summary
The first kiss brushing against his lips is a strange sensation. Aziraphale sighs against his mouth and makes another happy sound. Crowley supposes it isn't too weird. Plenty of humans enjoy smushing their faces together when they're in love. And also when they're not. But he's heard it's better when there's love involved. Anyway Aziraphale certainly seems to be enjoying it so he's determined to like it too.
They survive the apocalypse. They dine at the Ritz. They confess their love. Then Crowley realises Aziraphale expects their romance to have sex too, and he doesn't know how to turn him down. So he doesn't.

From the notes: "Hello! If you've read anything by me before please be aware this fic is different from my usual stuff and mind the tags! ⚠️ Don't let the beginning of this story trick you, this is not a happy fic."
And, true. This is not a happy fic. It is an important fic, though. My gratitude.

“No union is made better by constant proximity. We have to breathe. To leave and choose to return. To touch because we want to, not because we must. Anything else becomes a punishment, once the bloom fades.”

Post-S1 indulgence. Sometimes when you’re just getting started, a little calibration is required.
Excerpt:
“Do you want to sit in my lap?”Time screeched to a halt.
“Yes,” Aziraphale said, going still.
Crowley grinned. “Do you want to go back to my flat first?”
And time went wild.

[“Fuck,” Crowley repeated, inhaling sharply again. “You know exactly what you’re doing.”
Aziraphale couldn’t reply with Crowley’s hand over his mouth, but he did his best to make an innocent-sounding noise.]

Crowley has a passing familiarity with various forms of sin. Aziraphale has opinions.

Bookmarker's Notes
“He’s devious,” Ezra said without any heat or malice to it. “And he’s not exactly my Crowley. Though….”
“And you two have a date tonight, then?”
“Well,” Ezra said and floundered to find the next word to his thought. “I mean.” His mouth opened and closed again in that way he had, not distracting, just sorta chewing out his emotions without saying them aloud. “I mean.” And he slightly wiggled his shoulders again, keeping his head remarkably still all the same. “Yes. Yes, I think it is.”

Summary
“Did you mean it?” And when he speaks this time, for a moment, for a shiver, Edward almost looks afraid. “Your Oath?”
It’s a strange question. Does the tide mean to follow the moon? Oaths. They were supposed to be choices, weren’t they? That’s why they mattered, that’s what made them their own kind of magic? Because you Chose. But this had never felt like a choice. Izzy doesn’t think the tide has a choice either. That doesn’t make it love the moon any less.
“I meant it.”

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s a strange thing to look at him. Part of Izzy settles, because it’s Edward, and no matter how much he hates it, no matter how often he denies it, looking at Edward will always feel like coming home. But there’s something else as well. Like a breeze under the door. He’d seen it before, because of course he had, how could he not? But now, now there’s no escaping it. Looking at him is like seeing a vessel cracked between his fingers, bleeding bright and bitter and brutal, dipping over the floor in the muffled quiet of the room, and it fills up Izzy’s throat colder than deep water.

Summary
Stede finds the house. When he comes back to their room at the inn, he won’t rest—won’t let Ed rest—until Ed’s seen it. His eyes are bright in that way that makes Ed’s guts feel scooped out with a spoon. So Ed hurries into his boots and goes with him.
The once-white paint is stripped by weather and wear, a portion of the roof is caved in, and the spokes of the wraparound porch are all gnawed through by animals.
Ed gazes up at the broken windows and the birds that have built nests there. At his side, Stede is waiting, rocking back and forth on his heels.
"It’s perfect," says Ed.
***
Or: Ed and Stede leave the island together, and they don’t look back.

Bookmarker's Notes
How odd to know someone better than your favorite novel, to know that one day they were bound to find their way here, and yet not understand how much they loved without revelation. Love is the only secret worth keeping and it is difficult to give away, so it must be done by degrees. Kisses are a prelude, and bodies help, and confessions sing it into being.

Summary
“Alright!” Aziraphale stumbles back. His voice cracks, glass glittering and shards slippery with blood and amber. His soul spills over with terror and agony and lust. “Alright! I think... I think about it all the time! I can taste you.” His eyes are brimming, tears hot and accusatory. His hand covers his mouth, as if that can hide his shame. “I can taste you in my mouth, under my tongue, at the back of my throat, every moment, every second. Lingering, like the darkness of chocolate, like the sweetness of poison. I’m sick with it!” His vocal chords are raw, his frantic words flaying his throat. “I’m sick with wanting you!”

The season 2 finale was gutting so I'm taking these two ineffable idiots and patching things up between them. Slowly. With angst. And Muriel. And ultimately, a happy ending.
This kicks off from the end of season 2. First fanfic so hopefully someone enjoys reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

“I think maybe I was a bit... ingenuous when I first came down here,” Muriel said eventually. “But, well, now I know all these really horrible, sad things I didn’t know before, and I’ve felt lots of horrible, sad feelings as well, and that makes me not so ingenuous anymore, I think? And, the thing is, back when I was in Heaven, being happy was a really simple thing, because everything was simple, so the simplest things made me happy! Really, really happy!”
Muriel took a deep breath and let it out, trying to slow the rush of words.
“...And now, it’s different because there are so many more feelings, and they get jumbled together, and the knowledge of everything makes it all more complicated, actually? And when I’m happy, I think maybe I don’t look as happy as I did before because, well, it isn’t as simple as it was before… But I actually feel it more, you know, here?” Muriel pressed their hand to their chest.
Aziraphale was staring at them, wide-eyed, but he said nothing, so Muriel felt it was probably alright to continue.
“It’s a bit like Adam and Eve in a way, isn’t it? They might have been happier in Eden because everything was controlled and they didn’t know any better… But then they ate the apple - thanks to Crowley, or at least that’s what Saraqael said - and now look! There are books! And coffee shops! And fuzzy socks! And maybe people aren’t as purely, innocently happy, because life is more complicated - a lot more, actually - but I think they’re also probably much more interesting now than they were before they bit the apple? And would you trade their ingenuity away for the sake of returning them to bliss born of ignorance?”

Summary
Aziraphale is sure this isn't right. He's sure he remembers wisps from a world that hasn't been made yet: a bookshop and a restaurant and a park and... someone else. But this is Heaven, before the Beginning. How can he possibly remember anything? How can he possibly feel like he's lost everything?
One shot, sort-of-AU, mostly made of stars and feels. It's been a very long time since something burned its way out of me like this.

"Aziraphale nods, lost in his eyes, wanting more than he has ever wanted, than he could ever imagine he wanted, and yet he knows this wanting like he knows his own name, has learned to wear it like armour and hide it like shame."
