    Summary

    The other kind of Gentleman’s Club. Crowley is hunting temptation and a serial killer. He doesn’t expect to find Aziraphale.
     

    “Gentleman, here is the new guest I promised," said Mr Inslip, and as the company politely rose Crowley looked up into the face of, not a Prince as he had expected, but a Principality. As golden and rounded and lustrous in this room of humans as a buttercup in a field of thorns.

    Crowley was glad he was slightly secluded in his recess, as it gave him a moment to recover himself and assess the situation. Crowley felt wildly that either Satan or the Almighty had heard his own desperate, unspoken prayers, because here was his angel, in one of these temples of lust.

    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.

    Summary

    For a whole forty-three minutes and fifteen seconds, Aziraphale does not think about Crowley.

    Post-s2 finale. Maybe this new job isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Summary

    Saving the world is exhausting work. With Heaven and Hell off their backs, it seems as good a time as any for Crowley and Aziraphale to take a proper break. Neither one of them predicts the direction their holiday takes.

    Who'd have thought that sharing a cottage in Scotland would be quite so romantic?

    Summary

    After everything, Aziraphale and Crowley, by unspoken agreement, begin sharing their lives.
    ---
    Why? Aziraphale wanted to ask him, why millennia of the way things were, and now this?

    But while Crowley seemed to have little issue upending every unspoken rule they’d ever written for themselves, Aziraphale was not so flexible, and they had spent thousands of years never quite addressing whatever it was this had stemmed from. Words, Aziraphale had always felt, were for bickering about where to eat for lunch, or hashing out ontological debates, or other trivial nonsense; there was no need to trifle with the imprecision of language, with phrasing and the possibility of being misconstrued, when it came to important matters if the other person simply understood, without needing it said. Six thousand years ago, when Aziraphale had met Crowley on the wall of Eden, watching the first two humans set out to begin the rest of history, something deep within him, more central even than his Grace, had thought, oh, it’s you, and that had been enough for him--for both of them, he assumed--for three millennia.

    However much he wanted to ask, he didn’t know how. The words simply weren’t there.
