Summary
“About that, who was he? Like his rank? Do you know?”
Beelzebub crinkles their nose, “What, like how I used to be a Seraph?” While the topic wasn’t that sensitive anymore to them, it was rather weird how Gabriel was asking it out of the blue.
Gabriel nods, “Yes, that. What was he before?”
“He was…” Beelzebub began, scanning their own memories. They remembered Crowley as a rather happy looking cherub with bouncy curls and a bright smile, always full of mischief outside of his regular duties. Duties that consisted of…
“He…” Beelzebub repeated, suddenly unsure.
They remembered their time as a Seraph, one that had all too much fun promoting disobedience, but for Crowley, when they try scratching for more than just the surface, everything comes up blank.
Gabriel looks at them expectantly, but all Beelzebub does is breathe out a soft, “Huh.”
[Or: Gabriel regained his memories after unlocking the fly Beelzebub had given him; turns out there were more memories he lost than he originally thought.
Or or: The “Everyone but me has forgotten we were siblings and I have no clue how to deal with that” fic]

Summary
For half a second, Edwin’s vision was filled with a beautiful, ethereal sight. Charles had turned his face up in surprise, eyes wide and lips parted, and his brown eyes reflected the cloud of golden shimmers hovering above him. He was bathed in a gentle light, surrounded by a galaxy of tiny stars.
Then the dust began to settle onto his skin, and Charles’ face contorted. He clapped his hands over his eyes, pressing hard, and drew in a harsh gasp through gritted teeth.
“Charles?” Edwin shouted.
Charles screamed.

Summary
In accordance with the Ride or Die Pact of 2009, Jonathan Sims can call upon Georgie Barker at any time for aid with no strings attached. Despite their rocky history, their childhood friendship, and Jon’s barely recovered alcoholism, this pact is sacred and must be upheld.
Georgie Barker may regret this. She may regret it when she discovers that the world is full of monsters and eldritch gods and dickhead managers. She may regret it when a punk rocker who should be dead collapses on their doorstep, a teenager again who needs their help. She may regret it when her stupid ex-boyfriend starts selling his soul for knowledge and the ability to keep his new family safe.
But she probably won’t. Georgie isn’t scared of anything - not a Clown’s apocalypse, not the apocalypse that Jon is destined to begin, and not Jon’s own loss of humanity.
Maybe she should be.

The Magnus Records by ErinsWorks
Fandom The Magnus Archives (Podcast), The Magnus Records
12 Aug 2020
Summary
In a world parallel to that of the Archives and the Institute, a supernatural sanctuary stands against a cruel and uncaring world: A world of bureaucracy and tyranny, of murder and carnage, of loneliness and surveillence, of plague and death.
But in this world of fear and misery, 14 entities born of the hopes of the world have emerged. And one of them has made their home here, at The Magnus Sanctuary. Perhaps, the employees within may lead happier lives than their counterparts did in the Archives.
(TLDR, it's a wish-fulfillment AU set in a dystopian alternate world, filled with fluffy ships and cute stories about Gaurdian-Angel-esque monsters.)

Summary
Aziraphale and Anathema exchanged a look. “B - But my dear boy. It’s a wonderful opportunity to be sure, but … must you go all the way to America?”
“Well yeah.” Adam looked puzzled. “Got to, for sure. Figured I’d take the summer to really, y’know, research weather and study it in America.” Adam had recently started university and was studying meteorology, and he was quite keen on the subject. It made sense, Anathema and Newt reasoned. He always had taken a particular interest in the weather.
“There’s weather all over the place,” Brian pointed out, tossing his head to shake his bangs from his eyes and successfully flipping his ponytail into his drink instead. He continued, nonplussed, “What’s America got that you’re runnin’ off for a few weeks?”
Adam grinned wider, if that were possible. “Well, glad you asked Brian, because that’s the really brilliant part. I -” he paused, for dramatic effect, “- will be joining a storm chasing team.”
-
In which Adam goes to America to chase tornadoes, Crowley and Aziraphale follow to keep him safe, strange coincidences occur, and tornadoes aren't the only deadly thing around.
Updates on Sundays, and sometimes Wednesdays.

Summary
Afterlife passports are for dead humans… but shortly after averting the Apocalypse, Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves in possession of afterlife passports with their own names inside. Aziraphale interprets this as an invitation to take the Grand Tour of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, with an opportunity to make things right with the Almighty at the end. Crowley just wants a nap.
Features all nine levels of Hell and all the deadly sins, plenty of demonic bureaucracy, Eric the Disposable Demon, an unpleasant tour boat that is definitely Crowley’s fault, consequences for poor punctuation, some large explosions, and a literal boatload of dead humans wondering why their tour group got stuck with the angel/demon odd couple.

“HAND OVER THE RAVKAN, OR WE WILL BREAK IN.” A man wearing the silver badge of a stadwatch captain bellowed at the wrong window.
“Like hell you will.” Brekker growled to himself, standing reluctantly and limping to the window.
Inej just shook her head.
“They won’t have any intelligence. Kaz is just the prime suspect whenever anything goes wrong for the Merchant Council.”
The prime suspect sighed deeply, shoved the window open with his cane, and leant out.----
Inej acquires a rather valuable political prisoner. Kaz acquires a burning hatred for him.

Summary
Ch. 3 - "In an idle sort of way, none of them had expected for Noir’s blood to be black. None of them had expected that their sudden appearance would be just the distraction that the Lizard had needed. None of them had expected for that very black and very unexpected blood to be painting the wall behind him as Lizard’s claws dug into his flesh, and sent his body flying limply to hit the wall with a wet-sounding smack." - A story based on recovery, color, and the knowledge that you're not alone.
