Summary
John Watson isn't an idiot - let's start there. His newly-finalised divorce has left him with no moustache, few acquaintances he can trust and a very solid resolution never to attend a wedding again, unless it just so happens to be his own.
But when the opportunity presents itself to accompany his best friend to a family destination wedding and get to witness a whole new, uncharted side of him, curiosity takes over. And if the price for this knowledge is pretending to be Sherlock's boyfriend for a day or two, well, so be it.
After all, John Watson isn’t an idiot, but he’s not exceptionally wise either.

Summary
Adverting Armageddon was supposed to have been a fresh start for Aziraphale and Crowley, and it very nearly was — that is, if we’re discounting the terrifying existential burden of complete freedom, the tangle of chronically repressed emotions beginning to bubble up to the surface and, cherry on top, their dear ex colleagues choosing to come together for the first time in millennia for the single purpose of destroying them.
And now, after not even a full year of relative peace, tragedy has struck again and everything seems to be lost — this time for good.
But is well-known that God has a plan for all Her creatures, and that the paths She lays are often… well, not the straightest.

Summary
The first time he picked up his telephone and didn't hear Joan or one of the other ladies greet him, he just rolled his eyes, assumed they were cross with him, and firmly asked for the shop he was trying to connect to into the receiver like normal. He even said please! And the thing about being a being of considerable occult power with a history of shaping parts of the universe is that, sometimes, the world bends to oblige you.
So, the only thing that surprised him about Fell answering the line in response to his demand for "an expert on ancient greek and roman preparations of oysters" was that they'd made long-distance calls considerably less bothersome at some point.
OR
Crowley is a big fan of technology but has zero idea how it works, which leads to him developing an unlikely friendship with a fussy bookseller who happens to be an expert on a miraculous number of subjects.

Summary
Crowley was slouched on the bookshop sofa in a snake-like curl of dark clothing. It was late afternoon and the noise from the street outside was muted here in the back room. Aziraphale had welcomed the opportunity to close the shop early when Crowley had sauntered in, carrying a bottle of red wine and looking quite Tempting.
Now, to clarify: the demon Crowley was, by nature, very tempting. It had always been his job, starting with Eve. But Aziraphale made a distinction in his mind between Crowley being tempting and his being Tempting. The former was innate, the latter very much Crowley’s own creative mind attempting to wile an angel into agreeing to things which he should not. There was Tempting in Crowley’s expression today.
“Let’s hear it, then,” Aziraphale invited.
**In the late 18th century, Aziraphale and Crowley join forces to carry out an assignment from Hell and discover a mystery on a country estate.

Summary
After asking Aziraphale a strange question, Crowley disappears. Can Aziraphale work out what happened to him? And more importantly, can he save him before it's too late?
---
“No.” Aziraphale sat up, throwing his senses wide, searching, seeking, all the way to the edges of the world. “Crowley!” His frantic cry, amplified by his angelic power, rippled through the minds of every being with even the slightest occult sensitivity. Miles away, Anathema sat up in bed, and reached in panic for her lover when she felt the new absence in the world. Down the street from Jasmine Cottage, Adam Young tumbled from his covers, reaching out himself with what remained of his power. What he found was so terrible he fled from it, running to climb into bed with his parents like he hadn’t since he’d been very small.
“No,” the angel said again, his voice small and lost amid the stacks of lonely books. “No.” He pushed himself up with trembling hands, climbed to his feet, and didn’t stop running until he stood outside the door to Crowley’s Mayfair flat.

Summary
Crowley is given one last chance to save his floundering acting career when he is offered a role in a new musical adaptation of the beloved book, "The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch." Unfortunately, he'll be acting opposite Aziraphale, the ex he hasn't spoken to in over a decade and with whom he is definitely not still in love. When Crowley's past comes back to haunt him, he and Aziraphale must decide whether to repeat their actions from years prior, or to take their unexpected second chance and try again.
