    Summary

    After dealing with a few unruly demons, Aziraphale has been crowned the local demon expert. This mostly means informing the local priests that they have in fact trapped yet another normal human and setting the poor fellows loose. That is until today.

    Alternatively: Crowley gets caught by some enthusiastic humans and was likely well on his way to discorporation before Aziraphale steps in. Aziraphale tenderly cares for Crowley, and then there are love confessions, and then Aziraphale takes care of Crowley in a different way.

    Basically just whump followed up by incredibly soft smut. Happy Valentine’s.

    Summary

    A soft footstep falters close behind him, signalling he’s not alone. Aziraphale.

    Crowley knows he should pull himself together, turn to the angel with an expectant smirk, inviting him to start their next round of banter on the merits of modern music.

    Let himself be carried into the afternoon on a river of wine and good conversation, muffling the anger and longing under his friend’s expert guidance. Follow Aziraphale’s cautious lead like he’d promised to 18 years ago, you go too fast for me, Crowley.

    It was enough most days. It had to be.

    But Crowley can smell the lavender and mint notes in his cologne, can picture his hands grasping the wine bottle at the neck, the soft way his waistcoat wrinkles when he sits. He’s not sure it’s enough today.


    It's 1985 and Crowley is settling into what promises to be another afternoon of excessive drinking and banter at the bookshop. Both he and Aziraphale are tenderly getting back to a shaky semblance of normal after a century and a half of renewed terror and revelations about their relationship. But it's a fragile existence.

    And they want more.

    Summary

    Martial artist and planetarium tour guide Anthony J. Crowley stresses about everything like a true champion, has multiple anxious but lush plants, and probably needs someone to hug him.

    Professor Aziraphale Fell is fighting book banners at his faculty, and takes his frustrations out on lifting heavy weights with extreme prejudice.

    Both their hobbies share a building, but they've never met. Not until the showers at Crowley's club stop working, and he needs to climb upstairs to use the ones at the gym...
