    Summary

    Aziraphale owns The Flaming Sword, which is one of the premier gay bars in London. Everyone knows this... except for their pianist, Crowley. While the regulars take bets over whether he's the clueless straight person he seems, Aziraphale just tries to prevent himself from falling further. But one night Crowley plays a song written specially to honor their regulars, and Aziraphale can't hold the truth in any longer. How will Crowley react? Will the truth really set them free?
    ---
    Based on the post where Billy Joel's The Piano Man is really about a clueless straight pianist in a gay bar. Or in our case, 'straight'.

    Summary

    In the sleepy community of Taddersfield, Mr Aziraphale Eastgate esq. is busy running his sheep farm and nursing a broken heart.

    Anthony Crowley has just lost everything, but might be able to find a place for himself as a shepherd on Mr Eastgate's farm.

    However, a wave of land enclosures are sweeping the countryside. Land owners and workers find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that could tear the community, and Aziraphale and Crowley's new relationship, apart.

    Summary

    Summer, 1138, and the civil war brewing in England has come to the city of Shrewsbury, and the neighbouring abbey.

    When Shrewsbury Castle falls to King Stephen Lucifer, ninety-four defenders loyal to Empress Michael are hanged as traitors. With a heavy heart, Brother Azirafael agrees to bury the dead–-and discovers a ninety-fifth body among the lawfully executed.

    The only other person who seems to care about this extra victim is the enigmatic Lord Crowley. However, Crowley is King Lucifer's man, and while he could make an attractive ally, Brother Azirafael isn’t sure how far he can be trusted.

    Summary

    “Crowley had thought they'd have more time before the first of the autumn storms. The plants look small and fragile against the looming grey.

    Or maybe he's seeing himself in them, newly free and entirely lost.”

    Coming to terms with peace can be hard. Crowley’s trying. Aziraphale helps.
