    Summary

    It's supposed to be an exchange. An arrangement. Something to make them both feel better and less lonely. But Crowley's never had the brightest ideas.

    Summary

    Aziraphale has lived with Crowley for a year, watching him tumble from partner to partner. Inconvenient thing to have fallen for his flatmate, who has absolutely no wish to settle with anyone.

    Perhaps it's time to move on... if the night allows.

    Summary

    Blackballed from the industry ten years ago, Anthony Crowley jumps at the chance to star in a new Regency romance miniseries with well-known gay actor Aziraphale Fell in the hopes that it will help him restart his career.

    The trouble is, Crowley has played all sorts of characters and for the life of him, he can't figure out why he's struggling to play the romantic lead opposite a man.

    Summary

    "Why are you doing this?"

    Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be.

    "Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands.

    "No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?"

    It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'.

    Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see.

    "Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me."

    "Why?"

    He won't answer that. He can't answer that.

    "Don't ask stupid questions."

    ~oOo~
    Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can actually build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards.

    Summary

    They lay stickily, oilily, in a companionable sprawl across the wreck of the bed, and for the first time Crowley understood why the humans enjoyed sleep. He was about to go to sleep himself when Aziraphale sighed next to him, and sat up.

    His hair was flattened on one side and sticking up wildly on the other. There was a small mark like a bruise on his neck that hadn’t been there before. He couldn’t imagine where it had come from, seeing as there had been none of the violence that their respective Head Offices might have expected from an angel and a demon coming into such close contact. Quite the contrary: all he had done to Aziraphale’s neck had been kiss it, at length.

    “Thank you, that was very nice,” Aziraphale said, looking at a spot next to him rather than actually at him. There was a certain prim quality to his voice that wasn’t at all promising.

    Summary

    “Port gives the worst hangovers in the world, did you know that?” Crowley slurred when the bottle was all gone. “Don’t know who got credit for that one. Nice drink, lovely drink, shame it makes you want to die in the morning.”

    “Such a shame,” Aziraphale agreed sadly, watching Crowley stretch out on his sofa. He did like port. He liked Crowley stretched out on his sofa, too.

    Summary

    “Not objecting, just a point of uh, theological interest: is this a temptation? I mean are you tempting me here, or is it…uhm?”

    Aziraphale opened his mouth as if to protest, closed it again, and finally offered: “Well actually now that you mention it I suppose it is. I mean I am, yes. But temptation seems such a loaded word, doesn’t it? I just thought, in for a penny in for a pound – if they’re even watching they already know we’ve been consorting together, so we might as well make the most of it. Consort to our hearts’ content, so to speak.”

    Summary

    “Stand up?” he echoed, incredulous but too undone by sensation to express the full force of his disbelief. “I can barely even remember my own name after that, and you want me to stand up?”

    “Your name is Anthony J Crowley, apparently, although you never did tell me what the J stood for so I can’t help you there,” he said, not hiding his smile. “Do stand up, I promise you’ll like it.”

    Summary

    “No, it -just reminded me of your sword, that’s all. The flaming one. You know, you pinning me against the wall with it like that - ” he gestured airily to the shelf, “and, uh, I don’t know, smiting me with holy love or something.”

    He directed an unmistakable onceover at Aziraphale’s physical form, perhaps justifiably doubtful that his message would get across without it.

    But to their mutual surprise, Aziraphale had understood him perfectly.

    “Oh I see,” he said.

    Crowley opened his mouth, then closed it again. The unexpected success of communication had left them both at a bit of a loss for words.

    You gasped as if wounded when I entered you, do you recall that? Do you remember how I mouthed the word ‘mine’ over and over and you couldn’t bring yourself to let your lids droop shut, lest you missed any of it? Do you remember how the tears I cried mingled with yours to create a perfect five-act tragedy?

    Or: my own little interpretation of Neil's "they're not talking" comment. an alternative interpretation to aziraphale and crowley divorce sex than the one i provided in the despite knowing better... series!!

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley have been living among humans for 6000 years, but there have always been parts of the human experience they've chosen to avoid (like allergies, head colds, and having to use the loo).

    They've also never let hormones get in the way of making rational decisions, because they didn't have any hormones to speak of.

    That's all about to change.

    Summary

    The slow smirk that Crowley had given him in return was entirely too knowing and seemed to imply something that the angel didn't quite understand. The sight of that smirk made his stomach feel strange and fluttery.... It was the oysters. Definitely the oysters.

    (Or, 'A Chronological Record of Crowley and Aziraphale's Relationship Behind the Scenes, Including Lots of Angst but Mostly Smut')

    Canon compliant with season 1 only. Read to heal your season 2 wounds.

    Summary

    When Crowley and Aziraphale bump into each other in 41BC, it’s at a work event. Aziraphale’s been tasked by heaven to help reunite Rome under Marc Antony, and hell has assigned Crowley as the trusted advisor to Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. It would take a real miracle (or at least a strong temptation) to broker peace between the rulers. Perhaps, the demon thinks, there’s something in it for him as well.

    Squint between the lines of history, and you might just find a love story.

    Summary

    Aziraphale had known he found Crowley attractive for a long time, but there was nothing wrong with that. The Almighty had done a very nice job when she’d made Crowley and surely appreciating the work of the Almighty was what angels were supposed to do?

    It was nothing more than that.

    Except now Aziraphale knows what lust feels like and that might be a problem.

     

    A canon based through the ages fic, featuring fluff, smut, angst and a lot of shenanigans from the ineffable duo.

    Summary

    "Confidential journals,” Aziraphale calls them. Well, if he’d been so concerned with keeping his precious diaries safe from prying yellow eyes, maybe he shouldn’t have abandoned said eyes alone on Earth and fucked off back to Heaven.

     

    A story about the following, in no particular order: boxing up old memories, unpacking even older ones, lots and lots of red wine, Muriel trying on sunglasses they're not supposed to, neatly looping cursive, Crowley getting his groove back, and an angel and a demon who are figuring love out.
