Summary
The Angel and the Demon, Time Lords on the run from their former employers, caught on opposite sides of a war between different factions, have been hiding on the small, insignificant planet known as Earth for a very long time. It's been nice, really. They've whiled away the thousands of years drinking wine, going to shows, and absolutely not, under any circumstances, talking about what brought them there.
Then, one day, a reminder of their past changes things and turns the precious, peaceful, fragile existence that they have carved out for themselves on Earth upside down.

OR: the Good Omens Time Lord AU that you didn't know you needed!

Summary
Life is going very well. Aziraphale's first novel has been published and received very well, his estranged little sister has reached out and is back in touch, and his partner's secret project to start writing music again is well underway. So, why does Crowley keep looking at him with such a worried and tense expression?

AKA: there's one hurdle left between these two boys and happily ever after; unfortunately it's the devil himself.

Summary
The humans were curious about him, Crowley knew that. Who wouldn’t be? Man-shaped thing shows up on your local pub's doorstep, mute, scowling, and desperate, takes up residence in its worst room for months, drinks about four bottles of whiskey a day, doesn’t eat a damned thing, and yet refuses to die - you’d be curious too, wouldn’t you?
Sometimes he’d overhear them whispering about him, staff and customers alike.
“Is that another bottle?” One lady would mutter disapprovingly.
“Heartbreaking to see someone waste away their life like that,” sighed a woman to her partner.
“Why’s he wearing sunglasses inside?” A kid asked his dad, tugging on the man’s sleeve.
“Do you mind if I take this seat?” Asked a man at Crowley’s elbow.
He turned to look at the newcomer. He was smiling widely, his eyes crinkling at the corners. The man’s nose was slightly upturned and his hair a crown of ruffled white curls.

OR: After resorting to extreme measures to avert the apocalypse, a very miserable Crowley retreats to somewhere close to his heart and drowns his sorrows for months until his wallowing is interrupted by a mysterious stranger who knows more than he ought to and simply won't shut up.

Summary
Drs A. Z. Fell and A. J. Crowley have known each other since they were eighteen years old and have spent most of their time since trying to sabotage each other's degrees, research opportunities, and professional reputations.
Aziraphale Zariah Fell firmly believes that she is the better woman of the two of them and is trying very hard to behave accordingly. Anthonia J. Crowley does not believe that either of them is really any better than the other and would quite like her pompous, feathery colleague to just bloody admit that for once.
How will they cope when the powers that be start to tighten purse strings, behave mysteriously, and push them further and further into each other's lives?
OR: They really think they hate each other... right up until they really don't.

After getting together and spending the holidays as a couple, music producer and former rockstar Anthony J Crowley and book publisher Aziraphale Z Fell continue to work on the release of up-and-coming musician Adam Young's album and memoir, while figuring out what they mean to each other and what that means to the press.

They plan a party, have big feelings, face Crowley's past, and make sweet sweet love - not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Progressively less subtle letters sent between two phenomenally long-lived and mostly unnamed Londoners between the years 1601 to 1980, followed by telephone conversation transcripts between 1980 and 2019, then a rather private few weeks in a Soho bookshop that we really have no business knowing about.
Follows the events of Aziraphale and Crowley's lives from 1601 to after the Armageddon't - sort of a season two fix-it, but more like an season two ignore-it because every time I think about the last episode it makes me sad.

I'm sorry, that's the worst summary I've ever written. I promise this fic is sweeter than it sounds.
