Summary
Now reconciled with each other and with their respective angelic and demonic natures, Aziraphale and Crowley begin the third part of the Grand Tour: Heaven. After everything they’ve been through, they’d both be just as glad to give this bit a miss and return directly to the World… except that they’ve agreed to help some of their human companions make a decision with eternal consequences.
Not that the decision in question ought to be a difficult one. After all, who in their right mind would choose the World over Heaven?
(part three of a series in which Aziraphale and Crowley travel through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, loosely based on Dante’s Divine Comedy)

Summary
Having nearly not survived the full tour of Hell, Aziraphale and Crowley arrive at Purgatory in two very different states: Crowley is hell-bent on getting through to the Almighty as fast as possible, while Aziraphale just wants tea and some time to consider a tempting Satanic proposition. Neither of them is prepared for what they’ll lose, and gain, by entering the gates of Purgatory. What will it take for them to recover their balance?
The answer involves guardian angels, infernally strong coffee, science, carpentry, gardening, music, a novel of indeterminate quality, and humans being human.

Summary
Afterlife passports are for dead humans… but shortly after averting the Apocalypse, Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves in possession of afterlife passports with their own names inside. Aziraphale interprets this as an invitation to take the Grand Tour of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, with an opportunity to make things right with the Almighty at the end. Crowley just wants a nap.
Features all nine levels of Hell and all the deadly sins, plenty of demonic bureaucracy, Eric the Disposable Demon, an unpleasant tour boat that is definitely Crowley’s fault, consequences for poor punctuation, some large explosions, and a literal boatload of dead humans wondering why their tour group got stuck with the angel/demon odd couple.

Summary
How would he even know if he had Fallen? Would Gabriel and Sandalphon and the others find him and drag him back Upstairs, only to cast him out in some official way? Was there paperwork involved? He glanced at Crowley, who was staring broodily out the bus window, and decided not to ask.
The night of “You can stay at my place.” Aziraphale worries that he’s Fallen; Crowley reassures him that he hasn’t. Pre-Fall angelic unions are discussed from multiple perspectives, and they discover an alternative way of knowing each other.

Summary
Aziraphale and Crowley take the Grand Tour of the afterlife through every level of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, from Limbo to the Empyrean, with about as much arguing, ineffability, and absolute unconditional love as you’d expect.
Inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy, but offers a kinder portrayal of the afterlife, with a relatively benign version of Hell, a positively fluffy version of Purgatory, and a sincere attempt to portray the planetary spheres of Heaven with an LGBT-positive, hopepunk vibe. Vaguely influenced by Neoplatonic/Hermetic/Western Esoteric concepts, but very much my own take.
My 2019 oneshot "Worth Knowing" was the spark for this series, and is now more or less a prequel, or maybe a microcosm of this macrocosm.
