    Summary

    So, there was the Second Coming. Not the first one, everyone remembered how badly that had gone.

    In the middle of it were an angel and a demon, who once had far better days. Now, however, each was absolutely convinced they were protecting the other. Which was very noble, very touching, and if you looked closely enough, very, very stupid.

    And so the world ended again—or perhaps didn’t—because of two idiots who never could quite manage to stay on opposite sides.

    Summary

    A nice and accurate prophecy of the season following the parting ways of an angel and his demon—if such an Ineffable Plan were written by a benevolent God….

    In this tale, the Second Coming looms large. As the effort to thwart Heaven’s wiles is complicated by unexpected friends, an ex-Inspector Constable, a guileful Metatron, and a Heavenly floor full of the Blessed Dead—Aziraphale and Crowley find that navigating their relationship is not mutually exclusive from saving the world from Armageddon.

    There is an outcome where the Nightingales sing in Berkeley Square. The angels just need each other—and maybe a little help—to find it.

    Summary

    Aziraphale didn't make it to Tadfield on time, the Apocalypse broke out, and Heaven won. Now, the freshly-promoted Archivist struggles to find purpose in a kingdom too eager to forget the cost of victory. His miracle budget is meager. The Archive's books are insipid. And the ghosts of his past are not content to stay out of sight and out of mind...

    Standalone story featuring Jesus Christ Superstar, J.S. Bach, and an angel who augments his private collection of Bible fanfiction apocrypha with petty theft and dumpster diving.

    -

    Approximately canon-compliant through to Season 2, apart from being AU.

    Summary

    "Why are you doing this?"

    Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be.

    "Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands.

    "No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?"

    It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'.

    Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see.

    "Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me."

    "Why?"

    He won't answer that. He can't answer that.

    "Don't ask stupid questions."

    ~oOo~
    Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can actually build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards.
