    Summary

    Twenty years ago, Aziraphale and Crowley met as teenagers while visiting Rome. They instantly formed the kind of horny, smitten bond neither would ever forget. They lost touch and haven't seen each other since that summer. When Crowley applies to work in Aziraphale's coffee shop after leaving his job as an architect, they're both full of doubt. Neither wants to ask if the other remembers, let alone admit their feelings. After all, who would still be in love with someone they met two decades ago? They turn, instead, to writing down their feelings.
    But would they be brave enough to actually confess them instead of keeping them to themselves?
    How will our heroes cope?

    Summary

    Love through the Ages.

    It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

    For six thousand years, Aziraphale and Crowley have walked the Earth - bickering, bantering, circling each other like twin stars caught in orbit. Heaven and Hell gave them orders. Humanity gave them stories.

    This is a chronicle of the love they witnessed and the love they learned. Told in glimpses and echoes, in stolen glances and almost-touching hands.

    From Adam and Eve to Oscar Wilde’s last embrace and beyond, they drift through the cracks of time, watching humans dare, fight, suffer, and shine - for that elusive thing neither of them dares name.

    Some loves end in tragedy. Some survive exile, silence, war, fire. And some - rare, impossible - end in sunlight.

    This is not just a love story.

    It’s all of them.

    It’s theirs.

    Summary

    A reverse-ish human AU where Ezra is an angel and Crowley is from the wrong side of town. But....

    >> What if..... Crowley was the one that wanted Ezra to take the Top Job?
    >> What if.... Ezra wanted them to run away together?
    >> What if..... Crowley was the one who said "I don't even like you" and "we don't know each other"?

    Or: Crowley fell in love with Ezra Teachdaire when they were 15. But no one could ever know. Especially not Ezra. 15 years later, they're still hooking up, and Ezra might suspect something.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley meet on the day of Aziraphale's first-ever therapy appointment. Their unexpected connection has the promise of blossoming into a kind of friendship neither of the two has ever experienced.

    They have a lot of growing to do: Aziraphale’s sense of self-worth is as non-existent as his healthy work-life balance, while Crowley is so agoraphobic that the mere thought of going to the supermarket round the corner gives him clammy hands. And he hates clammy hands.

    It’s not going to be easy and it's definitely not always fun, but it very much helps to have a friend who will say comforting things—or challenge you to a friendly competition to try and get a free lunch out of you.

    [Or: Basically a QPR slow burn with lots of mental health stuff, fluff, and, for some inexplicable reason, references to the film Ice Age]

    Aziraphale sits alone watching the sun set over the sea through a window of a small beach café - wishing he had bought something other than a romantic novel with him on his trip.

    It’s playing merry havoc with his feelings for Crowley.

    Oh, and never leave anything lying on a table you don't want someone else to see.

    Aziraphale Fell, the most highly regarded American Traditional tattoo artist in Central London, spends each Friday evening in the French restaurant opposite his studio on Whickber Street. One night, he plucks up the courage to strike up a real conversation with Crowley, the dashing waiter who always serves him (and happens to be covered in tattoos).

    That night, Aziraphale offers Crowley a tattoo appointment to take place after his shop's opening hours, which Crowley happily accepts. When they're finally alone together in Aziraphale's studio, both men realise that it won’t be long before the tension between them comes to a head.

    Princess Aziraphale is locked in the tower, surrounded by her books, as she waits for a hero to rescue her and win her hand in marriage. The dragon’s an occupational hazard.

    Only… the dragon Crowley isn’t truly terrifying. She’s a dreadful nuisance, but she’s funny, interesting, and secretly quite sweet. Aziraphale prefers Crowley to the suitors vying for her hand, which is... awkward, to say the least. A princess can't exactly live happily ever after with a dragon. Can she?

    Summary

    Crowley died. Sort of. It didn’t stick.
    Now he’s back - not a demon, not a human, just... mostly undead, vaguely unlabelled, and maybe in love with an angel he’s never seen before in his life. Or has he?

    Aziraphale is finally done pretending he doesn’t remember. Or want. Or care. Turns out, 6,000 years of repressed affection, divine bureaucracy, and one very snarky bastard who keeps returning can wear a principality down.

    They were always going to find each other again.
    Maybe this time they get it right.

    This is a story about breaking the cycle. About memory, desire, undead metaphysics, jealousy, fate, and a love that refuses to stay buried.

    Also: titans, kissing, drag queens, glam rock, a bench in Berkeley Square, a cat, always London.
    And a neon sign that says exactly what you think it does.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell has been working at Heaven's Gate for the better part of twenty years as an assessor of orphanages for children with magical abilities. His life in London is fine, mostly. He has a house, and a cat, and that should be enough.

    When he receives a strange assignment that has him bound for a month-long stay on a remote Scottish island, however, he begins to realise that everything may not be as it seems.

    (Note: this is an AU set in the world of TJ Klune's The House in the Cerulean Sea, and while I recommend that you read it, it's not necessary to do so to understand the plot of this fic!)

    Summary

    Early spring has always stirred both romance and nostalgia in Aziraphale Fell. So, when he stumbles upon a once-familiar, now untended garden one crisp March morning, he cannot resist exploring. One flower in particular calls to him—more vibrant, more fragrant than the rest. Drawn to its beauty, Aziraphale plucks the bloom, certain it will make the most exquisite tea. But when he drinks it, the infusion does more than delight his senses—it stirs dreams richer than reality and conjures the presence of a man who haunts them.

    When rising star AJ Crowley finds himself in a little spot of trouble on the set of his new action movie, he is lucky enough to bump into a literal angel who infuses him with some much needed courage in a rather unconventional way.
    One fabulous kiss, a fall from grace, many phone calls and approximately twenty years of friendship later, Crowley and Aziraphale are about to embark on their first ever project together, which allows them to get closer than ever.
    Will they be brave enough to cross the invisible boundary still standing between them? Or will they let the fear of losing each other get in their way?
    Idiocy predictably abounds, but luckily so does the love.

    Summary

    Months after Armageddon failed, Crowley stops by the bookshop to find its owner a stranger with no memory of him. The history is all there, from the garden to Tadfield, but Crowley isn't. He will have to start over with the angel while carefully sifting the past for clues as to what happened to his friend, and how it might be undone.

    Meanwhile, Aziraphale is ordered to get close to the demon who sauntered into his bookshop, to find out what he can about Hell's plans to restart Armageddon. That task is made all the more difficult as London falls under strict lockdown procedures. When Crowley defends him against a reconstituted Duke Ligur, Aziraphale begins to question the narrative he's been told.

    Now, as uneasy allies, they face whatever Heaven and Hell conjure for them. But will Crowley survive their future together, one where he remembers what Aziraphale cannot?

    When Anthony wakes up in a hospital with no memory, he finds himself alone with nothing but a vaguely threatening note written in blood. In an attempt to save himself from an untimely death, Anthony goes about his life as if he wasn't currently suffering from memory loss. It really is too bad he can't figure out if his stunning partner is trying to kill him or not. Going on a date with him couldn't hurt, right?

    ...

    “Do you think perhaps you could come over to the bookshop?” Aziraphale asked, “I would so love to see you, dear.”

    “Yeah I- no!” Anthony nearly shouted and then clamped his hand over his mouth.

    “No? Why ever not?”

    “I can’t,” Anthony scrambled for what to say, “I’ve got-”

    ‘Diarrhea’ was on the tip of his tongue, but then Anthony caught a glimpse of his reflection in the black phone screen and blurted, “-an eye condition.”

    ...

    or- Crowley has no idea why his plan to pretend he doesn't have amnesia is proving to be so difficult. It might be because the poor guy is actually a demon.

    Summary

    Aziraphale lost almost everything in the bookshop fire. In the remains of his his life, he finds an old shoe box, and inside it the letters – and memories – he had buried for so long.
    While putting his life together again with the support of his friends, he relives his days as Father Fell and all the hurt and joy of having had Father Crowley by his side.

    A human AU, where Aziraphale and Crowley were priests in the same church.

    Excerpt:
    All that was left from his life, everything he had been able to rebuild fitted in a handful of boxes and two suitcases.
    He didn't even want to think about the books, or what was left of them.
    But now he would have to. It was already time. He had to start all over.
    Again. [...]
    One last box. A shoe box he hadn't allowed himself to think about in so long. One he had buried under his bed and forgotten.
    Why, of everything that could've survived, was this the one thing to be unscathed? In his efforts to hide his past even from himself, he had secured what he wanted to not exist from meeting its end.
    The box of unsent letters was heavy in his hands. They weighted years, weighted all the guilt.
    With trembling fingers, he opened one.
