    Summary

    "After the apoca-wasn’t, time carries on - as time does. Days bleed into months, and months into years.

    And through it all, Heaven and Hell remain unnervingly silent.

    Crowley and Aziraphale sometimes catch sight of them - angels more often than demons. Not because the demons are any better at sneaking about; there are simply less of them sneaking (between the two, Heaven’s always been the more vengeful). But their watchers - whether angel or demon - don’t go so far as to speak. Rather, they observe - usually from some distance, dark gazes following. Watching."

    Ch.1 A Touch Like Sunlight: Crowley accidentally threatens an Archangel.
    Ch. 2 A Love Like Moonlight: When Aziraphale is threatened by angels who seek justice for Aziraphale's crimes against Heaven, Crowley comes up with a plan to keep him safe from harm.

    Summary

    Aziraphale was meant to spread harmony, a purpose he could not fulfill in his terrifying angelic form. When Heaven's attempts to create a corporeal form failed, he was born into the world like any human, only realizing his power and purpose when Heaven Called.

    Then, like any human, he died. And then was born again. And again. And again.

    OR

    Every generation Heaven and Hell each selected a child to be the Vessel and when the time came that the angel or the demon was needed, they were Called.

    Summary

    Aziraphale hasn't tinkered with his corporation in 6000+ years. Naturally, a tartan dress is what gets him to try out a female form. Crowley heartily approves.

    Or: The one in which Aziraphale tries out a gender change and Crowley nearly has a heart attack.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley's bakery is top in Soho and quickly becoming well-renowned throughout all of London. When Crowley hires the soft-spoken, cherubic Aziraphale as his main decorator, it doesn’t take long before the two men realize that there may just be something to the idea that opposites attract...

    Or, the bakery AU that no one actually asked for.

    Summary

    “I need you,” said Aziraphale, which was far more straightforward than Crowley had been expecting, even after two bottles of wine. The angel stared at his plate, turning as red as the little gems of pomegranate seed on it.

    “Well,” Crowley said, at last, trying to keep any giveaway hoarseness out of his voice. “Here I am."

    “It’s just that—oh, dear, some things are so difficult to say over the telephone apparatus, aren’t they? Especially if you have your voice messages on. It feels so impersonal, and I really couldn’t wait any longer to ask."

    “Good strategy. I’m right here, go ahead,” Crowley said encouragingly, wondering if he should reach for the angel’s hand. Unfortunately, the angel’s closest hand was gripping cutlery as if it was a lifebuoy. Crowley considered putting his hand on one invitingly touchable thigh instead.

    “Will you come to a party with me?"

    ****

    Crowley and Aziraphale pose as husbands for a house party, because Aziraphale is bad at saying no (to anyone but Crowley and anyone trying to buy books).

    Crowley thinks this is a good chance to prove himself the perfect potential demon husband to a fussy angel. But things get complicated fast. Really complicated.

    Summary

    "You...this gains you nothing. This isn't a Deal."

    His heart leaps to his throat but he keeps his face calm. If he fails here he simply has to try again later. This is not the end. He can make this work.

    "This is a Bet." The Morning Star nearly blinds him as he smiles, blasting the area around them with unholy glee. "And I will accept."

    ***

    Aziraphale has had many bad ideas in the course of history. Of those there are only two he has acted on that he does not regret at all, and yet those two ideas, actions, have caused him the most pain of his existence. But they are worth it, because they are for Crowley. His Dearest One. His Demon. His Love.

    Summary

    Village shenanigans AU where neighbours Aziraphale and Crowley are given the runaround by a particularly rude goose.

    Or:

    When Anthony J. Crowley moves to a pleasant English village, he expects to begin a peaceful life, gardening and minding his own business. He pretends not to notice his new neighbour, some flamboyant toff named Azira-something, who seems to do nothing but eat, and illustrate birds. But there’s a horrible goose on the loose, and it and its friends are causing a disturbing amount of havoc. Stealing shoes, squashing flowers, unlocking gates, tangling hosepipes... and sending Crowley out of the house with no clothes on in the middle of the night to borrow some underpants from the aforementioned neighbour. The entire population of Lower Tadfield is in uproar over these innocent-looking monsters. Something must be done! If Aziraphale and Crowley have to team up to defeat a gaggle of psychotic geese, so be it. And if they happen to like each other more than expected, so be that, too. What good is a peaceful life without a dear friend, anyhow?

    Summary

    An angel awakens in Heaven from a six thousand year coma, the result of a head injury taken in the First War.

    He's missed everything. The entire history of the Earth. Well, except for one thing. He hasn't missed the apocalypse, because the apocalypse, for some reason, didn't happen, and no one seems to know why - or if they do know, they won't say.

    He has questions. And if the rumours are true, there's one angel who might have answers: the Principality Aziraphale.

    Aziraphale isn't at all what he expected.

    And nothing, as it turns out, is quite what it seems.

    Summary

    There is a reason witches are warned not to summon demons.
    The sleepy town of Tadfield was supposed to be peaceful, a town full of witches practicing their craft without worry of outside persecution. At least it was until someone let a demon loose. But local bookshop owner and garden enthusiast Aziraphale doesn't really care about all that nonsense, not when he has just acquired a new friend and companion in the shape of a Familiar.
    Crowley just wanted to head back home. But that's getting harder to do now that he's gone and gotten attached to a certain witch, which is bad since he does not want the pure-hearted man to be corrupted by his mere presence.

    Summary

    Agent Aziraphale and Agent Crowley are each tasked by their head offices to capture the Celestial and Infernal Creatures that have escaped from Eden. The biggest prize is the Celestial unicorn. It's horn boosts power, and it's blood might usher in Armageddon. It's a fate neither Agent wants for humankind, and Aziraphale is so very weary of fighting a war.
    --
    “Aziraphale!” Crowley bites out, voice cracking with pain.

    “Nearly there!” He rips the case from his pocket and drops to his knees, popping it open with a loud click and holding the Hellfire spark in his gloved hand as far away from his body as possible. It ignites the Infernally cursed magnesium, and it flares with a brilliant cold light. Aziraphale is nearly blown back but is able to flip into an army crawl to scramble away.

    Crowley drops the timehold with a tremendous snarl that rips from deep within.

    “Get...this...utter....bastard outtahere, angel!” he pants out and steadies himself on a tree trunk.

    The Celestial Sinaa is growling, scratching out at the flame, singeing itself over and over and becoming angrier with each welt of pain.

    Summary

    "They'll leave us alone. For a bit."

    One year after the Apocalypse-That-Wasn't, Crowley and Aziraphale have settled into a new routine: keeping an eye on supernatural happenings in the world and preventing Heaven or Hell from interfering too much with humanity. It's not a bad job - despite occasional rains of fish - and if there are some unspoken things they really ought to talk about, well, they have all the time in the world now to get around to that, right?

    At least, until the Archangel Raphael turns up on their doorstep looking for help... and it starts to become clear that the world is changing fast, and so are they.

    Or: Crowley and Aziraphale start a detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.

    Summary

    Crowley was still as stone beside him. His ears were cherry-red. “So...if we pretend we’re in a relationship, we’ll be safe.”

    “I believe so.”

    “And that would, that would involve, what?” he spoke hesitantly, softly. “Holding your hand, telling you that you mean a lot to me, kissing you for them to see?”

    Two great hands were constricting Aziraphale’s lungs. He fought back an undignified wheeze. “Yes, I think so.”

    “I can do that,” he croaked.
    ~
    In a panic, Aziraphale tells the archangels he survived hellfire due to his soul mixing with Crowley's because they're in a romantic and sexual relationship. They want him to prove it. Cue a fake relationship.

    Summary

    “Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?
