Summary
The thought occurred to him, as so many great thoughts did, in the shower.
It was quite strange. He had always assumed that such discoveries would come in the form of great revelations at pivotal moments in life, accompanied by appropriate background music and, perhaps, a well-choreographed song and dance if life was feeling fancy. Assumed that it would be part of a greater narrative which would inevitably lead to some sort of conclusion. A satisfying ending to a story arch.
But there was no music, no song, no dancing, no greater narrative. Just a regular shower on a regular Monday as he got ready to open the bookshop for the day.
Life wasn't a story, after all, and as the water poured down on him and the hot steam fogged up the mirror above the sink, he realised, with no warning or preamble, that he was, in fact, a he.
Oh.
It was a patient thought. Calm. It sat in his mind, quite still and almost unobtrusive, if it wasn't for its persistence, its alien shape and nature, its gentle pulsing like a beating heart. It was impossible to ignore. And the thing was, he didn't want to ignore it.

nature is healing (or something like that, anyhow) by nightbloomingcereus

Summary
Well. If Aziraphale could be stubborn, so could Crowley. He didn’t need Aziraphale, or his bookshop, dammit. He was going to take a nap, exactly like he’d said he would, and he wasn’t going to get up again until the world, and a certain frustrating angel, stopped being such a downer.
It was the perfect plan.
Or it would have been, had he still had his bloody bed in his bloody flat in bloody fucking Mayfair.
Or, the one where Crowley takes his three-year-long pandemic nap in his plant-filled Bentley.
(inspired by official season 2 promo, but spoiler free)

Summary
Maybe if it was a good kiss, Aziraphale thinks halfway through the minutes of a meeting that happened two centuries ago, it would be more easily forgotten. Maybe because it was so bad, so sad, it became less forgettable. Like a sentence half said. If he could get the whole sentence, perhaps it might settle in his mind like the rest of his memories and fade gently in time.
Or: Aziraphale can't stop thinking about the kiss and decides to remedy this in the worst possible way.
