    Summary

    The bird takes off in a mess of wings and Aziraphale hides his smile behind a sip of his red wine, hand not holding the glass braced against the ground for him to lean on.

    “Oh, let him have it. It’s not as if we’ll be eating those.” Aziraphale murmurs, afterwards, and Crowley’s eyes crack open just a bit, slivers of gold behind the dark lenses of his sunglasses.

    “Then put it to the side at least.” Comes a slightly disgruntled reply and Aziraphale thinks again - soft.

    Crowley always had been soft.

    ---

    Aziraphale Thinks A Lot.

    Summary

    Today, Sunday, there's a sense of rightness and quiet. Outside, he hears birdsong that reminds him of home. Rashid drops sugar cubes in each tiny glass bowl—refined white for Lapsang Souchong, demerara for Earl Grey—and readies the tea tray for delivery.

    Summary

    Aziraphale's wings look like they haven't been preened in 6000 years. Crowley's wings were damaged in the Fall. Neither of them are okay with the other's current state.

    Summary

    In the end, it was the result of horrible timing.

    Lucifer questioned Her in front of the other angels, and She refused to humor him any longer. Lucifer and his supporters were forced from Heaven, Falling in a glorious blaze.

    Raphael questioned her away from the others, but it was too soon. Then he was Falling, too.


    Before he was Crowley the Demon, he was Raphael the Archangel. And then he wasn't. Years later, he reconnects with his siblings.

    Summary

    The gates of St. James’s Park were locked by the time they arrived, but such a barrier posed no obstacle. They cleared the bars with a thought, passing through like ghosts.

    “Let there be light,” Aziraphale murmured. The walkway ahead was cast in a bluish glow.

    Crowley hissed, recoiling slightly from what lay a short distance ahead. “They’re here already.”

    Aziraphale took several steps forward, squinting. The bridge wasn’t quite visible, but the reddish aura emanating from the vicinity of the water was unmistakable.

    “Stay behind me,” he insisted, continuing to walk. “Under no circumstances take the lead.”

    With a touch of weary sarcasm, Crowley chuckled. “Get thee behind me, Satan, is that it?”

    Summary

    One morning, Aziraphale wakes up to find no Crowley in their apartment, or in the bookshop, or visiting Tadfield, or anywhere.

    And, when he finds him, he finds no Aziraphale in Crowley’s memories.

    Summary

    Aziraphale susses out Crowley's pre-Fall identity, as the Archangel Raphael. With this, he must rethink everything he thought he knew about the last six thousand years, about his own identity and his friend's, and even the Ineffable Plan. There is a fight, expressions of fear and hurt, reconciliation, yearning and confusion, and the sorts of questions that by all rights should cause an angel to Fall.

    Also, at one point, Crowley admits he once lied about breeding rats for demonic ends.

    Summary

    Anathema Device doesn't know how to help Adam with whatever issues he's having, but she thinks she knows who can.

    (The truth is, although I really like all the headcanons about Aziraphale and Crowley being involved in Adam's life, I feel like these two dumbasses would need a little bit of a push to get involved. So this is the story of that push.)

    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.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t make sense, does it? Why create something only to make them suffer? She says they’re Her chosen creations,” Lucifer snorted. Raphael looked up. Lucifer’s golden eyes were fixed beyond the two of them. They’d always had the same eyes and the haunted look in Lucifer’s was mirrored in his own. It was only years later that he’d learn how well Lucifer could lie. “Shouldn’t life be about happiness?”

    Not then, not yet, but it was the beginning of it.

    Raphael fell.

    All he ever did was ask questions.

    Summary

    Crowley was standing in the middle of the room, hands in his pockets, looking a little lost. Aziraphale eyed the distance between them. Five steps. Five steps, and six thousand years, and a battlefield spanning an eternity.

     

    The story of the little moments over the millennia that shape an angel’s regard for a demon, and the way he slowly, with great reluctance but inevitable surety, falls in love.

    Summary

    So it was fine. Even if Crowley couldn’t love him, he clearly liked him well enough, and that was almost the same thing.

    It no doubt would have continued to be fine, or at least fine-adjacent, were it not for a narrowly averted apocalypse and several bottles of a really quite nice Riesling Aziraphale had found in the back room of his newly restored bookshop.

    “On the matter of touch,” Crowley begins, waving his teaspoon in what he hopes passes for idle curiosity. “Thoughts?”

    For two ineffable husbands, they don't really touch each other much. Here is a story on why that might be.
