    Summary

    Aziraphale dreams of a soldier's life, full of excitement and adventure. Prince Crowley dreams of freedom, friendship, and a life that's more than castle walls. When a chance meeting brings them together, the course of both their lives will change, though they're not to know it. That is, until the duelist-soldier known as the angel of death becomes captain of the king's guard, and the prince wonders why he looks so familiar...

    Summary

    Things have changed. He's left the nunnery he grew up in, the rules he'd always known, the people, the village, his very name - he has nothing to his new name and so has nothing to lose.

    As Aziraphale approaches the foreboding castle ahead and the deadly vampire who lives within, he's well aware of this fact. But having nothing to lose means having everything to gain, and it seems worth a risk. Worth another drastic change.

    And, as Crowley well knows, life changes even after its end.

    Summary

    When Crowley had snaked himself across the bar top, half purring, half snarling for Aziraphale to live a little, this wasn’t exactly what he meant by it. Not exclusively, anyway. If there was a list of possibilities, it may have been on there somewhere; scrawled as a hasty afterthought, perhaps under a subheading of Things That Would Surely Never Actually Happen.

    But the sight of Aziraphale lying naked and debauched in the middle of his black satin sheets was not something he was about to hesitate over.

    (If there was a second list, one surreptitiously scribbled on a napkin in the dark corner of a crowded bar, it would be titled Things Crowley Had No Right To Crave As Much As He Did, and it would start and end with this single bullet point)

    Summary

    In an alternate 14th century England, where magic is never far out of reach, Aziraphale is a nobleman, Crowley a thief, unlikely allies who find themselves drawn together despite societal and familial expectations.
    But their budding friendship, or perhaps something deeper, catches the attention of Earl Gabriel Herault, who desires Aziraphale for himself.
    Conspiring with a lovelorn accomplice, Gabriel casts a curse meant to tear them apart. When the spell backfires, Aziraphale and Crowley are forced to navigate an uncertain future with a heavy price.
    As they search for a way to break the curse, they find the strength of their bond tested in ways they never imagined.

    Summary

    Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?

    ---

    It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.

    He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.

    Summary

    Aziraphale lost almost everything in the bookshop fire. In the remains of his his life, he finds an old shoe box, and inside it the letters – and memories – he had buried for so long.
    While putting his life together again with the support of his friends, he relives his days as Father Fell and all the hurt and joy of having had Father Crowley by his side.

    A human AU, where Aziraphale and Crowley were priests in the same church.

    Excerpt:
    All that was left from his life, everything he had been able to rebuild fitted in a handful of boxes and two suitcases.
    He didn't even want to think about the books, or what was left of them.
    But now he would have to. It was already time. He had to start all over.
    Again. [...]
    One last box. A shoe box he hadn't allowed himself to think about in so long. One he had buried under his bed and forgotten.
    Why, of everything that could've survived, was this the one thing to be unscathed? In his efforts to hide his past even from himself, he had secured what he wanted to not exist from meeting its end.
    The box of unsent letters was heavy in his hands. They weighted years, weighted all the guilt.
    With trembling fingers, he opened one.

    Summary

    18 hours is a long drive. Carpooling with a friend's boyfriend seems like a good way to save money and pass the time. It's also a good way to meet the love of your life--even if the timing is completely off, and it takes 12 years to realize he's the one.

    When Harry Met Sally, but make it Ineffable Husbands. I firmly believe you do not have to know the movie to enjoy this fic.

    Summary

    Apparently, Crowley could ruin his good mood. Crowley was just about the only thing that could ruin it.
    “Right. So. You and I, is it?” Aziraphale confirmed, just to be clear.
    “That’s right.”
    “And how long is this trip, exactly?”
    “One full week,” Crowley enunciated too clearly, stretching his lips around the words and sharply clacking his k. “Seven whole days.”
    “Great,” Aziraphale breathed.
    They both smiled, all teeth and no joy.

Are seven days of forced proximity really enough to undo a truly vitriolic relationship? Or, let's be real: How quickly does it take them to fall head over heels for each other?

    Summary

    Queer technology giant Anthony J. Crowley is just about ready to throw in the towel after relationship after relationship has failed, but there's a new barista at the company coffee shop and he's cute and sweet and Crowley's never been able to resist blond hair and blue eyes. The tabloids will have a field day, they always do, but his assistant is getting married and a temp is needed.

    A temp who really isn't very good at making complicated coffees, has past experience in reception, and absolutely no idea that the latest complicated coffee order came from the owner himself. Aziraphale only knows that he's handsome, patient, and was the first person who told him he was doing well.

    How could he refuse the temp position? Or, he soon discovers, more.

    However, there’s a catch. If the cottage is destroyed, he can’t get the inheritance.

    Summary

    AU fic in which our Ineffable Idiots are simply Anthony Crowley and Avery Fell — friends from infancy, parted by unfortunate circumstance, trying to find their way home.

    This was my first human AU, written before I’d joined AO3 or tumblr or had any interaction at all with the fandom. A friend — one of only three people who read my works at the time — simply said to me, “sometimes people write them as humans. Maybe give that a try?” EDD is what happened.

    I had no specific plan or goal in mind for this when I began it, aside from a vague idea of how it would begin. The story told itself, and I love Anthony and Avery more than life 💛

    Summary

    Aziraphale has been watching Anthony most weekends for the last year. While it had been his mother's idea, he's grown so very attached to the boy and it would seem little Anthony has grown attached to him as well. Anthony's home life might not be the best but Aziraphale's visits always manage to be the highlight of his week.

    Luckily, there is no way their routine could change, right?

    Right?
