    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley fell in love, almost at first sight, when he met Aziraphale Eastgate three and a half years ago. Aziraphale, however, was appalled by his reputation as a Casanova and refused to date him. Ever wily, Crowley began searching for opportunities to spend time with Aziraphale, hoping that if he can get the object of his affections alone, he’ll be able to get past the walls Aziraphale has built between them. Now he's won a ten-day, luxury cruise of the Mediterranean, and, after a wee bit of persuasion, Aziraphale has consented to come along.

    All Crowley has to do now is make the angel fall in love with him. He had no idea this was a honeymoon cruise. Or that there'd only be one bed.

    Summary

    "I know what a breakup looks like," Daniel says. "The better question is, why are you coming to me about it? I'm the one who broke up your little sham."

    "This is what humans do, don't they?" Armand asks, letting his voice drop. "Crashing on their friends' couches when there's a blip in their romances?"

    "Except we're not friends. We're actually very much not friends." Daniel shrugs, as if it's all the same to him. "And I can't imagine the great vampire Armand deigning himself to sleep on my fucked-up sofa. That thing's been here since the nineties."

    "Well," Armand only says. "I saw you have a guest bedroom."

    Summary

    “A reason!” cries out Aziraphale. “Of course, of course. I have a reason. I came here for…” His eyes cast about, moving frantically over his surroundings, until his daemon meows and points at the garden with her paw. “Plants!”

    “Plants?” Crowley echoes. “You came here for plants? What plants did you come here for, then?”

    “Oh, all - all sorts! Erm… garlic, sage, chamomile, carrots — all sorts.”

    “Right.” Crowley nods, and raises his eyebrow a little higher still. “And you don’t think you’d have been better off going to the market for your groceries, do you?”



    One of the many advantages of magic, and of all people having a daemon — a physical form of their soul in the shape of an animal — is that it makes it easier to locate one’s soulmate. Find a witch, buy a spell, follow your daemon to your happy ending. It's really rather straightforward. The spell Aziraphale purchased, he thinks, must simply not have worked. Surely his daemon can’t be right when she says this village’s witch, Crowley, is his soulmate? Not when Crowley doesn’t show any signs of having felt the bond himself.

    “I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.”

    “Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled.

    Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.”

    “What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”

    Crowley's tired of living with the pain of Aziraphale's departure and tries something extreme to forget.

    Summary

    “Why did you come here?” Aziraphale interrupts. “Why do you keep doing this?” All the saving, he means, all the chasing after Aziraphale he does. It can’t only be that he’s not keen to endure a replacement. That can’t be it, not anymore. He’s going to get himself in trouble, and then it’ll be Aziraphale’s fault.

    Crowley’s mouth shuts with a click. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, reaches for the handle of the fork and taps his fingertips against it before setting his hands in his lap.

    When he speaks, it’s very soft. “Don’t you know?” he asks.

    Aziraphale, unnaccustomed to his heart refusing to translate why it throbs with such haste, shakes his head.

    Summary

    It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.

    No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.

    “What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”

    -----------------

    Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.

    Summary

    “Well, that was a thing,” Crowley said once they were out of earshot. Without talking about it, they were both heading down the field, towards the lake where the photographer (and likely a few more people from the TV crew) was waiting.

    “That was a wedding,” Aziraphale replied, surprised at his own annoyance that somebody called a wedding a ‘thing’.

    “Yeah, obviously, didn’t miss that part,” Crowley said with a shrug, and waved abruptly in Aziraphale’s general direction. “Neither did you, from the looks of it, since you’re dressed like a wedding bride and everything.”

    “Excuse me, I am a—“ Aziraphale stopped himself, and started over.

    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.

    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.

    Everything changes on a work trip from London to Manchester, where he meets the vivacious and stunningly attractive Anthony Crowley. Like the splitting of the atom, Aziraphale is divided - and begins to wonder if it's not too late for love after all.

    Crowley has given up on her life in the big city and decided to retire early to the lovely village of Tadfield. She expected a run-off-the-mill early retirement. Maybe playing bridge with a couple of old ladies and maybe taking a part in organising some of the village fetes.
    What she did not expect was actually competing against the woman she had developed a crush on in the village floral competitions and hence that particular woman instantly taking a dislike to her.
    She also did not expect that for the sake of the village's reputation they would have to band together and participate as a couple for nationals, because why not...

    Aziraphale Fell runs a successful food blog, Celestial Comestibles, where he shares mouthwatering recipes and heartwarming stories about his happy domestic life in a cottage with his husband and son. As promotion for his upcoming cookbook, his publishers run a contest: one lucky winner will get to spend Christmas with Aziraphale and his family.

    What the publishers don't know is that the real Aziraphale Fell is a single city-dweller. And if he wants to keep up his happily married persona, he'll have to acquire a cottage, husband, and son before Christmas.

    As it happens, his friend and neighbor Anthony Crowley has his nephew staying with him for the holidays. One fake marriage proposal later, and everything seems tickety-boo--as long as Aziraphale can keep from developing inconveniently real feelings for his pretend husband...

    When Aziraphale moves into his new home in Tadfeild, he immediately begins to experience issues with the house. After a quick call to the local handyman, he thinks all of his problems are going to be solved. Unfortunately, his problems are only just beginning.

    Because the local handyman, Crowley, is incredibly sexy. Aziraphale quickly finds that he likes watching Crowley fix things in his home. So much so, that he starts to break things on purpose. But surely Crowley isn't interested in him back. Surely the handsome, charismatic owner of Red's Repairs wouldn't be interested in a middle aged retired man with a penchant for bow ties and waistcoats, right?

    Fortunately, fixing leaky faucets isn't the only thing Crowley's hands are good at.
