Smiling At Grief (Was Not This Love Indeed?) by Alexander_Writes

Summary
Crowley’s hands go to Aziraphale’s face – where is his taut anger, his tired emptiness, his alarming distance? “Look at me, please.”
“My dear,” Aziraphale breathes.
“It was a trick. You’re alive. I’m alive. We have time to find the printer, or the catalogue, or the digitised whatever, wherever the copy of the book is. We can put this back together.”
Or, Crowley has a plan, but Aziraphale doesn't know it. It works. A canon-compliant fix-it of series 3.

Summary
“He’s in there.” Crowley jerks his head towards the cell door, unenthusiastically.
“Oh,” Aziraphale hesitates, “he?”
Crowley growls into his hands. “They’re killing the lad tomorrow, at least give him that.”
“Oh. I never met him, you see.” Aziraphale carefully lays a hand on Crowley’s knee, just for a moment. “My dear, what has happened?”
“Do you know why they’re executing him?”
“I imagine it’s because he’s an enemy soldier with God on his side, who’s shown them to be fools.”
“Heresy. He wore men’s clothing, you see.”
Long before Armageddon, Crowley and Aziraphale meet outside Jeanne d'Arc's cell. Aziraphale comes to realise something about Crowley and something, maybe, about himself.

Summary
Sherlock is relatively confident that he isn’t a sodomite. That would be simpler. He cannot imagine this creature rising in his gut for any other man. And whatever form it wishes to take, he cannot see it resembling something ordinary. This isn’t about sex. This is about wanting to curl up in the centre of James Moriarty’s life, and live there like a creature.
Or, after the events of series one, Sherlock reckons with his feelings, James' relationship with Beatrice, and what Sherlock really wants from James Moriarty.

Summary
“If you’re a time traveller,” Hopeless asked, “when did you come from?”
Hopeless had moved nearer to Larrikin, who had not really sobered, and was still looking excessively happy with himself for no particular reason.
“I … two thousand and seventeen,” Valkyrie said, and then she looked at Skulduggery, “help me up.”
The skeleton took a moment to move, and then he extended a hand and supported her arms so she could stand. There was an overwhelming lack of familiarity in his behaviour.
“Alright,” Dexter said, “So that’s how you know Skulduggery.”
Valkyrie frowned, “I didn’t expect you to take that so well.”
“Well,” Larrikin said from the floor, where Dexter had dropped him sometime during his laughing fit. “You’re not the first.”
Or, Valkyrie travels back in time and meets the Dead Men. She finds them very different to what she expected.

Summary
Crowley shakes himself, a mental ripple of scales to slough off the bizarre, high-strung mood that's taken hold of him. He's being ridiculous. Spooked by the threat of newness he isn't even sure is real. Aziraphale has done nothing at all to suggest any of this is out of the ordinary. If anything, Crowley suspects they're both operating under unspoken agreement that things are Getting Back To Normal.
Well. The more recent normal. The normal that had so briefly existed after they'd averted the not-Apocalypse and before the whole almost-Archangel business.
Before Crowley had lost his mind and done something unforgiveable.

Summary
“Yeah, are you sure it’s a good idea to be telling people that story?” Jim says, eyeing Izzy a little warily. "About a shark biting your leg off?"
“It’s not a story,” Frenchie says at once, before Izzy has a chance to say anything at all. “Don’t you remember? That big old shark that took his leg off?”
Jim blinks, and exchanges a look with Archie. “Frenchie, what are you talking about?”
__
In which Frenchie supports and embellishes Izzy’s shark story, to the understanding of absolutely no one. Set in a vague in-between time after s2ep5 but before ep6.

Summary
Crowley stops abruptly. “You want me to be an angel again,” he seems to realize out loud, a bitter twist to his lips that Aziraphale hasn’t seen in a long, long time.
“Well, you were a lovely angel,” Aziraphale tries to explain himself. “Don’t you remember the times we had? How wonderful it all was?”
“If who you want is that angel,” Crowley begins, his voice carefully level, “then who you want is not me.”
~
Aziraphale realizes there's been a rather large misunderstanding between them.

Summary
Aziraphale squinted at the tape in his hands. “What’s a Velvet Underground?”
“You wouldn’t like it,” drawled Crowley.
“Oh.” Aziraphale nodded in sudden recognition. “Bebop.”
All those drums and beats and staticky sounds. He wouldn’t like it, indeed.
Aziraphale is neurodivergent, and used to being ridiculed for it. Crowley loves him.

Summary
“Was your-” Aziraphale choked around the phrase, but forced it out anyway. “Your best friend. The one you lost. Were they returned to normal? Are they alright now?”
“Angel,” Crowley drawled, blinking up at Aziraphale like he was staring into a particularly bright spotlight. “What the fuck are you talking about?”
