Fics in which Gabriel doesn’t suck
I am not opposed to fics where Gabriel is an absolute wanker, monster, or otherwise an annoyance; but sometimes I get a bit tired of it or I’m not in the mood, and I can’t be the only one.
These are fics in which the Archangel Fucking Gabriel is a prominent character and isn’t also an antagonist/bad guy (or at least anymore by the end of the story).
(This collection is focused on Gabriel from the Good Omens universe, not the Archangel from the bible or other media with interpretations of him.)
All ratings/AUs welcome. Open collection.

Summary
A Superhero's work is not for the faint of heart. Although he does not enjoy the bells and whistles that go along with it, Aziraphale knows it is his duty to protect the people of his city. He was given a unique gift, and to ignore that gift would be selfish, no matter how tempting his simple dream of owning a bookshop might seem some days.
It isn't all bad. He has respect. Adoration from thousands of grateful citizens. A steady job with enough money to last him a lifetime. If only he could manage to keep his villain in check. The Serpent is a crafty one - clever and mysterious and somehow manages to wriggle his way out of every bit of trouble he finds himself in. If Aziraphale could find a way to stop him for good, maybe his boss would finally let him retire. If he could stop The Serpent, they wouldn't need him in The Host anymore and Aziraphale could spend his days with his tea and his books and maybe, if he were brave enough, that attractive red-haired man that owns the flower shop just down the road.
All he has to do is figure out the source of his nemesis' powers and the life he's always wanted could finally be his. That shouldn't be too difficult for a hero his caliber.
Should it?

Summary
Aziraphale stands just outside the edge of the rotunda stall and listens as the others take their turns with the captive. Each person has a slightly different technique for how they approach breaking a captive, although there isn't an expectation for any one to succeed. That's Aziraphale's job, as the designated closer for this particular case. The others are there to help him gather data. And, of course, to indulge themselves.
OR
Aziraphale indulges one of Crowley's long-held consensual non-consent fantasies by organizing an elaborate and challenging encounter followed by a metric ton of aftercare.

Summary
"It started, funnily enough, with a funeral."
The funeral of a lovely old woman in a quiet little village near Oxford changes things for the residents forever in ways that they can't begin to fathom. That new face may not be such a stranger after all.
This is a gentle exploration of the lives of our favourite duo and their friends. It will dip into their pasts and hopefully throw up a few surprises along the way. It's not going to be an easy ride for any of them but let's hope that they get their happy ending.
Heart ache, misunderstandings, death, betrayal and true love. This has it all and more.

Summary
When reluctant astronaut Aziraphale Fell finds himself in need of assistance, the last thing he expects is to develop feelings for the mission controller who answers his call; the charming, foul-mouthed Anthony Crowley.
As they work to get Aziraphale home, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. Unfortunately, Crowley has reason to believe the powers that be don’t want Guardian One and its sole occupant to survive the journey.

Summary
There were all these little hopes and musings Crowley buried so deep in his heart it ached to bring them out into the light to catalogue their faults and flaws, and each time Aziraphale sought him out, or asked his opinion on some weighty manner that was hanging on him, or even just smiled, those little wishings grew bigger and bigger, pressing in on him until he felt as if he was being crushed.
“Princes do not fall in love with gardener boys,” he told himself one night, staring into the shard of looking glass he kept on a shelf, hoping it would help, hoping that hearing it out loud would make him believe it, would help him put all these ridiculous notions behind him.
It didn't work.
Crowley and Aziraphale, the gardener's boy and the prince, meet as children and develop an unlikely friendship.
By the time they're twenty, everything has changed.

Summary
In one month, the upper echelons of London society see the two very highly anticipated and high-profile weddings of Lord Gabriel Archstone to Lady Aziraphale Fell, and of Lord Beecher Elzeb to Lady Antonia Crowley. Talked about as the most picture-perfect ceremonies and the most powerful, aristocratic couples, nobody outside of the four knows the true purpose of these arranged marriages. It's not to gain power or social standing, it's not for love or stability, it's to hide the dark secret that all four of them are homosexual.

Summary
Gabriel's in a difficult fix, and only Aziraphale can help him. At least, that's Gabriel's theory.
"I have a little problem that I thought… considering what you must know – ah – intimately -- about demons…”
“A demon,” said Aziraphale expressionlessly.
“”Well, a demon is more than none, and I wanted to ask – “
“Archangel, this conversation is threatening to become indecent. Is this about some sort of a wager, possibly?”
If A. Z. Fell’s had been the kind of shop that has a concealed bell under the counter to summon the constabulary, Aziraphale’s finger would have been on it.
