    Summary

    “And we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t,” Crowley’s voice cracked.

    There was a forceful, anxious kick in Aziraphale’s chest. Oh, God, he was actually going to talk about it. Neither of them dared to for 6,000 years.

    Crowley tossed his head to the side. “I mean…The last few years, not really. And I know why we’ve had to pretend, of course. That’s obvious.” His eyes lowered to the floor. “Can’t ever forget about that, can I?” he said under his breath.
    ~~
    After being punished in Heaven for being in love as angels, Aziraphale and Crowley spend the next 6,000 years pretending their relationship never happened.

    Summary

    Aziraphale felt his cheeks flush pink. “Yes. Well. It appears to be a curse for a cheating lover. The design is to create an ever-increasing obsessive need for the person who—”

    “I’m well aware of what it does,” Crowley interrupted. Aziraphale glanced up from the book and took in Crowley’s stance, the apparent lax posture belied by the way he was clutching the edge of the countertop with white knuckles. Aziraphale swallowed.

    “Is it…” Aziraphale faltered, then tried again. “Is it…” painful is how he told himself he wanted to finish the question. There was no other possible word to end that question that Aziraphale wanted to know.

    “Don’t play dumb, angel. It doesn’t suit you.” Crowley’s voice was low, an edge of something to it that Aziraphale hadn’t heard since the Tadfield airbase, the moment Crowley was ready to give up and accept the apocalypse. He met Aziraphale’s eyes. “You know who I want.”

    Summary

    Post-season-two. Crowley's moping, Aziraphale wants to fix things, and turns out, there's enough blame to go around.

    -----
    “You’re being ridiculous.”

    Crowley very nearly falls over.

    Like, actually. He very nearly loses balance for no reason at all and tumbles to the sidewalk next to his car. He’s been playing Aziraphale’s voice in his head for weeks, he’s been trying very hard to drown out the sound of it, in fact, and now suddenly, abruptly—

    “What are you doing here,” is all he can think to say. He whirls around, and there he is. On Crowley’s right, standing there like he’d never left. Where he belongs, Crowley’s mind helpfully supplies. He wishes he could punch himself in the brain, knock the thoughts right on out of there.

    Summary

    After the failed Armageddon, Crowley is being bothered by the amorous attentions of those he'd tempted before, and those tempted by him. But he's retired now, so Aziraphale decides to buy him an engagement ring as a clever ruse to fend off their attentions. How could that possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    It’s an odd thing to think about, wanting to watch someone sleep.  This isn’t the only thing he’s fantasized about, of course. It tends to be an epilogue to the thoughts that creep in when the night is dark and he’s feeling particularly lonely.  Thoughts of burnished copper hair and sunflower yellow eyes and sounds and skin and lips and teeth. They all end the same way: Crowley peaceful and sleeping and Aziraphale being privileged enough to see him.

    This might be the closest he’ll ever get, he thinks as he rubs small concentric circles into Crowley’s shoulder with his thumb, a gesture he hopes is comforting in some way.  He’s been in love with the demon for so long, and the thought of them meeting their end soon without Crowley knowing the extent of that love... Well, it doesn’t bear thinking about.
