    Summary

    ....Aziraphale looked all around him as if searching for someone who may be watching before he timidly opened the door and peaked in. He wasn't sure what to expect. Crowley could be sitting somewhere or pruning his plants. He could be suspended upside down from the ceiling, or attached to the wall, or in his bed - any of his preferred sleeping methods. Instead, a walk through the foyer brought him to Crowley, dressed for the day, sans jacket, laying on his marble desk, a near empty bottle of whiskey balanced in his hand atop his belly. Another very empty bottle of whiskey teetered near the edge of the desk.

    “Look up here, I’m in Heaven…”

    He hadn’t expected a sudden lapful of angel.

    “Very sorry about this,” Aziraphale said, and kissed him.

    Summary

    Aziraphale owns a sex shop on Whickber street.

    One Thursday morning in May, Crowley runs out of lube.

    Not long after that, he decides he should buy a new dildo.

    A few weeks later, he suddenly needs a top-of-the-line vibrator.

    (Can you see what’s going on here?)

    Summary

    Four months after returning to Heaven, Aziraphale is set on the trail of another mystery after being handed a file on what Crowley has been doing since the pair parted ways. Something is wrong with the demon; by all appearances, he’s lost control, and it only seems to be getting worse.
    Aziraphale immediately goes back down to Earth to help, but quickly realises that the situation is more complicated than it seems. Everything he learns about Crowley makes less and less sense, and on top of that, he also has to contend with the machinations of higher (and lower) powers.

     

    This was first written two years ago, after the release of Season 2. I’m a different person now than I was back then, so if it seems like it was written by two people, that’s kind of the case.
    Updates every other week, Friday to Sunday evening. (hopefully)

    Summary

    "Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."

    "Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."

    "Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."

    "That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."

    "You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"

    "Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

    Summary

    There are so many things neither of them can change — how they met, the things they did, the words they said. It’s happened, it was probably always going to happen. And what it is, he can’t say, what he feels is almost too great for any one language. Inutterable, unspeakable —

    Ineffable.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley sells computer systems to London businesses–and specializes in sneaking extra charges and fees into the associated contracts. It’s not his fault no one actually reads the paperwork before signing it.

    He thinks mild-mannered bookshop owner Aziraphale Fell will be an easy mark; surely no one that old-fashioned and dotty will spot a few carefully-worded technical clauses in his contract.

    And then Aziraphale comes back with some very polite, very pointed questions – and Crowley decides that maybe pulling off the sale isn’t his first priority anymore…

    Summary

    “You’re staring.”

    “Oh dear,” says Aziraphale, completely unapologetic. “How rude of me.”

    Crowley begins to smile something slow, bright, and lovely, but he schools it with a bite to his lower lip. Aziraphale thinks of the way he looked two millennia ago, pressed up against the wall with Aziraphale's blessing healing his wounds, the only demon to experience divine ecstasy and live to tell the tale. How Aziraphale's hands itch to do it again, and again, and again. Crowley opens his mouth as if to say something, but then stops and spins around instead to go back to stirring the curry.

    “Shut up,” he says to the stove, flustered.

    Summary

    When a disgruntled demon threatens Heaven, Hell, and Earth, Aziraphale and Crowley are dragged out of retirement—and into the past—to help defeat her.

    Now (or, rather, then), at a Victorian seaside resort on the French Riviera, they’ll have to hunt down and destroy a stolen relic, all while avoiding the divine and infernal operatives who were already stationed there at the time.

    Those operatives? Aziraphale and Crowley.

    Summary

    Months after the Apocalypse that wasn’t, Crowley thinks Aziraphale might finally be interested in something more than the friendly distance they’ve carefully maintained for six thousand years. He’s working on getting the words together, now that Hell isn’t breathing down his neck. But now, catastrophically, Aziraphale has a very friendly, possibly angelic visitor hanging around the shop. Crowley has his half-formed romantic plans, a jealous streak a mile wide, and too much time on his hands. What could go wrong?

    He also likes Crowley. 

    Divine status aside, these things aren’t totally unrelated.

    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

    "I'm in a bit of a pickle, my dear," Aziraphale said over the telephone.

    Crowley was seized by immediate fury. Not even a decade, and they're at it again, he thought viciously. You'd think they'd be embarrassed enough to stay out of things for a few centuries at least, after botching the apocalypse like that.

    "Who's done something to you?" hissed Crowley.

    "Ah," said Aziraphale, in the quiet tone of someone who didn't mean to learn someone else's secrets and was mildly sheepish about it. "This crossword clue -- I'm stuck -- 1980s French fencer, thought you might know. It's eight letters and has a Q in it."

    "Trinquet," Crowley snapped, in the tone of someone who had revealed one of his secrets and was annoyed about it.

    Summary

    Finally, Aziraphale spoke. “You mean to say— you got us married?”

    “Just as a precaution, I never really thought I’d end up discorporated again, it’d been ages, you just don’t get stampedes or assassinations like you used to —”

    “You got us married, and you didn’t tell me?”

    ***

    Crowley gets inconveniently discorporated. And it’s not like it’s ever been easy to get a new body, but this time around, things really aren’t looking good. His new innuendo-obsessed lust-demon of a coworker honestly isn’t helping things.

    Meanwhile, Aziraphale has a dead body to contend with, and an occult mortician & his very normal daughter to fend off. What lengths will he go to in order to get Crowley back to Earth?

    Summary

    Pre-Arrangement Aziraphale and Crowley are not on the best of terms, to say the least, so Crowley usually does his best to stay out of the angel's way. But when an almighty storm forces him to the only dry thing on the globe, he ends up sharing very close quarters with Heaven's surliest agent.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?
