Summary
Newt had been sat in his flat, nursing a shit cup of coffee and thinking about the end of the world as much as he usually did. That is to say, quite a lot. Not so much that he couldn’t function on a day-to-day basis, of course, but enough that if he didn’t have a podcast on while he was brushing his teeth he had the unfortunate tendency to start screaming.

Four years after the world didn't end, Newton Pulsifer is jobless, single, and doesn't really have a clue what he's doing with his life.
His new demonic tenant can, mortifyingly, relate.

Summary
When a woman like Cruella de Vil walks into your boutique looking like she’s ready to set the world on fire, you simply don’t refuse her invitation to hold the box of matches.
You couldn’t, even if you wanted to.

Summary
After wrestling with a string of failed dates, a substandard algorithm and a stubborn refusal to accept his fate, Anthony J. Crowley thinks he may have finally found the perfect husband.
Yeah, alright, Aziraphale Fell—purveyor of rare and antiquated books—isn't exactly what he imagined when Crowley pictured himself getting married, but there's a connection there that can't be denied. Some unspoken thing that tells Crowley he's finally met his match. Now he just has to get married, live happily ever after, and not let his new husband find out that he's only so keen to get hitched because he's in the market for a new cover identity in order to get back to his career as a deadly hitman.
Aziraphale, naturally, felt the exact same way.

Summary
“What are you doing here, it’s the middle of the bloody night,” Crowley grumbled.
“It’s actually a little after ten ack emma,” Aziraphale corrected him, “and there’s a problem.”
Crowley sat up, quickly totting up a list of their enemies at the moment and coming up with a sum total of potentially everyone.

“I’ve decided… that you’re going to decide.”
“Oh come on, Aziraphale.”
“No, no. This is my Valentine’s Day gift, and for my Valentine’s Day gift I want you to pick your favourite thing on the menu."

Summary
Crowley probably should have asked more questions when Aziraphale was explaining the dress code, but he’d been too busy thinking about if he could learn to love a martini drunk from a champagne goblet and whether or not he’d look cool holding one.

Summary
Crowley’s infiltration of the seasonal industries in order to supposedly further the machinations of Hell on Earth was one of the demon’s proudest achievements for the great cause. It was also—Aziraphale knew—a load of old poppycock.

Summary
I have endeavoured in this Ghostly little fic, to raise the Ghost of an Idea...
Aziraphale finds himself besieged by the supposed ghost of an old (and unwelcome) acquaintance on Christmas Eve, is told he has some soul-searching to do, and is incredibly reluctant to be the protagonist of this particular tale but absolutely doesn't have a choice. At least he knows they'll get it done all in one night.

Summary
The survey had been Crawly’s idea. While he hadn’t originally planned on coming topside so soon in his demonic career, he really hadn’t trusted any of the others to get this one right. Neither had Lucifer, apparently, because according to Beelzebub (who passed the idea along, endlessly suited to being a middle-man despite not being a man of any description) it was Crawly’s job and Crawly’s job alone.
Get up there and find whoever’s causing trouble.
