Summary
Aziraphale Eastgate is an art restorer who is shy, reserved, and keeps to himself… and he has a soul-rending crush on Anthony J. Crowley, the rockstar of the art world. He’s never talked to him, and Crowley has no idea that he exists. No one knows about how he feels but his best friend, Fergus, and he hopes it stays that way. Still, Aziraphale pines quietly, content to live in his daydreams about talking to Crowley.
Crowley has enjoyed the fast life, free of commitment, but being offered a residency at the Ineffable Museum of Art will allow him to slow down just a touch. His best friend, Anathema, has been insisting that he needs good people around him, and he's sure she's right. He's not looking for anything but a change of pace. He certainly isn't looking to date anyone: He doesn't even believe in love, and he's not about to shit where he eats, so to speak.
Neither of them know that Fergus and Anathema have hatched a plan to get them in front of each other...

Summary
The year was 1926. Anthony J. Crowley and his wife were in need of a tutor for their young son Adam. Dozens applied for the job, but only one stuck out above the rest - a kind bookshop owner from Soho. It was impossible for Anthony to know during their first meeting how much of an impact Ezra Fell would have on his family or, more importantly, how much of an impact Ezra would have on his heart. He wasn’t certain of much anymore, but one thing was for sure, Crowley knew he would never be the same again.

Summary
As a result of his sheltered upbringing, Aziraphale made it to 50 without exploring his sexuality or coming out. After 50, all that changed - he's gay, he's out, and wants to find love. He also wants to have sex. He's a tad nervous about that. His friend Agnes suggests he consult a professional and get some no-strings practice and advice, and build some confidence. And her friend Tracy runs an agency…
Crowley has quite the breadth of sexual experience: he’s a high class escort. He’s been in his line of work for a long time, though in this industry, that’s not exactly an advantage. He likes his work, but the more he’s reminded that he’s not as young as he once was, the more he contemplates his exit strategy. When his bookings manager and friend Tracy gives him a new, nervous client, Crowley finds him unexpectedly captivating. In fact, Crowley can’t seem to get him out of his head.
A Smitten Crowley is also a very silly Crowley, so prepare for giggles and fluff along with your love story and smut...
This fic is sex worker positive, disability positive, & a variety of genders and sexual preferences are referred to in back story.

Aziraphale stumbles upon a shocking sight: one of his own men, a young legionary named Antonius Crowley, quietly assumes the submissive role in an intimate encounter with the prisoner. This unexpected revelation shakes the centurion to his core, as he begins to question the nature of power, control, and his own desires.
Initially repulsed by the vulnerability he witnesses, Aziraphale struggles with his growing fascination with Crowley, whose boldness and courage in battle contrast sharply with the image of submission in the hut.Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves drawn together in an unspoken bond, complicated by the rigid Roman norms and the tension of their military roles.

But from the time you meet your soulmate, your dreams are always shared...

Jesper had heard of him, of course.
Even with Jesper’s almost non-existent knowledge of Kerch popular culture, he had heard of him.
In fact, Jesper thought, it must be almost impossible to be alive in this day and age without having some knowledge of the absolute icon that was Wylan Van Eck.
Super rich, super famous, super desirable.
Superstar.

Summary
Anthony J. Crowley fell in love, almost at first sight, when he met Aziraphale Eastgate three and a half years ago. Aziraphale, however, was appalled by his reputation as a Casanova and refused to date him. Ever wily, Crowley began searching for opportunities to spend time with Aziraphale, hoping that if he can get the object of his affections alone, he’ll be able to get past the walls Aziraphale has built between them. Now he's won a ten-day, luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, and, after a wee bit of persuasion, Aziraphale has consented to come along.
All Crowley has to do now is make the angel fall in love with him. He had no idea this was a honeymoon cruise. Or that there'd only be one bed.

Summary
Wylan pulled his coat tighter around him as he walked down the street towards his bus stop. The cold had rolled in early this year, and it seemed to creep in most everywhere. Even though he knew exactly why he hadn’t, a part of Wylan still wished he’d asked his father for a driver.
A noise interrupted his inner musings about the cold, and Wylan stopped to look from where it came. Just at the opening of an alley he could see a man sitting, with his hand pressed up against his stomach. His blood covered hand. Oh shit.

Wylan stumbles across a wounded man on his way home from music lessons. His decision to help might change the trajectory of his life.

Summary
“You look really well,” Jesper says then, unable to help himself.
“I know,” Wylan says plainly, with a small shrug. “It’s classic me. Came to college and got pretty.”
Jesper laughs, although he’s not fully sure why. It just feels like such a Wylan response to give, whatever that could mean; a little self-deprecating, and also gesturing to the understanding—the knowledge—that they have of each other. Is it classic Wylan, to do this? Only Jesper would be able to tell. Only they could understand each other like this, even now.
–
Jesper and Wylan aren’t friends in school, but they certainly aren’t strangers, no matter how much they try to act like it. In university, their lives continue to weave in and out of one another’s, pushing and pulling each other through their insecurities, pasts, and other relationships. But they always seem to come back to this fact—they can never be strangers.
