    Summary

    "Say good-bye, then."

    Or! What if they didn't? Or if they did, it didn't matter. Because it's them, you see. Everything.

    Summary

    A reimagining of "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe.

    Excerpt:

    Aziraphale—his sweet, lovely angel. He looks tired, even paler than usual, dark circles under his deep grey eyes, that rosy blush missing from his thinner face. He looks like a ghost of his former self; just like this dark, crumbling manor.

    Summary

    "Well," Crowley said. "Either you make me fall in love with you, or you die."

    "Oh, well, that's quite all right then," snapped Aziraphale, then stopped to clear his throat and coughed out some more petals. "I'll just seduce Satan while I'm at it. Is Belphegor a bit lonely lately?"

    "Don't be peevish with me. I'm the one having flowers and blood coughed all over my flat just because you had to be a bloody forgiving angel and go around falling in love with a demon. These carpets are white, you know."

    "Oh, look, this one's a narcissus. What's that in flower language again? Selfishness?"
    ----
    Aziraphale has a problem. Crowley wants to help him out. There's an obvious solution.

    Summary

    Crowley has been suffering from Hanahaki disease for ages. It's a rainy afternoon in his flat and he's ninety-nine percent sure that this is it, his final break, only the world's most perfect (and stupid) angel has burst into his place, kissing him and calling him darling. Seems real upset about Crowley being half-dead on his sofa. Could there be a cure for this blessed curse after all?

    Summary

    Crowley was roused from his nap by the sound of somebody opening the door. He didn't move. Maybe they would go away.

    "Excuse me?" someone called.

    They weren't going away. Crowley rose, lifting his head to squint at the intruder. A broad figure, silhouetted by the light of the hallway. He couldn't make out his face, eyes still bleary from sleep. Just a halo of light framing his head.

    "What?" Crowley grumbled.

    There was a moment of silence, then the intruder spoke again.

    "Anthony?"

    -

    They're teachers. They're in love. They're oblivious.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley have regained their old memories, but the initial effect is a temporary loss of their new ones. Aziraphale woke up first, and his memories are now integrated. A newly-"awake" Crowley has questions for Aziraphale about "their" first meeting, as well as their first date. Aziraphale questions the wisdom of describing the date.

    Summary

    Crowley discovers Aziraphale is in love with him via the least dignified method imaginable: a Spotify playlist called "songs that feel like crowley", forty-seven tracks long, multiple Hozier, with a description that reads: for when he’s asleep on the sofa and the whole flat feels warm because he exists.
    This would be a catastrophe even without the fact that Crowley has his own playlist called "aziraphale coded". It is one hundred and four songs long. He made it six years ago.

    Summary

    For Aziraphale, working as a paralegal at a prestigious law firm is an exercise in endurance. Trapped under a tyrannical boss and sequestered in the gloomy basement library, his only bright spot is the view from afar of Anthony J. Crowley—the firm's rising star defense attorney who is brilliant, devastatingly handsome… and arrives to office functions with a gorgeous woman on his arm.

    But when their professional orbits collide, they fall into an unexpected, after-hours friendship that quickly becomes a delicate form of torture. Aziraphale is acutely aware that he is in danger of falling deeply, irreversibly in love with a man who could never return his feelings—no matter the evidence otherwise that his lonely heart imagines.

    Set against the backdrop of 1970s San Francisco, this is a story of hidden desires, office chemistry, and what happens when two men find exactly what they’ve been looking for behind closed doors.

    Summary

    Crowley borrows Aziraphale’s iPad during a power outage to look something up and accidentally opens the shared grocery list.
    Except Aziraphale forgot he’d also been using the note to privately write things like:
    “Crowley looked unfairly pretty in that green jumper today.”
    “Need to stop staring at his hands while he cooks.”
    “Possibly in love with my flatmate. Inconvenient.”
    Crowley keeps scrolling.
    Then the typing bubble appears.
    Aziraphale is editing the note live from work.

    Summary

    Aziraphale is finally escaping.
    He's going out to search for a happiness he knew a long time ago.

    Summary

    Asa’s last conscious thought, before he was lulled to sleep by the cool softness of the night and the rustle of the trees and the clammy weight of his husband’s hand in his own, was again of his wish on the star: let me know him, in every way there is, and let me keep him, please.

     

    Squinting at the morning light, he clutched at his head, at the buzz in his ears and the ache in the bridge of his nose. It felt like something was growing, or rather, settling into his mind. And all at once, it fell into place.

    It came like a montage, like an old photo album of a life that was slowly coming back to him, piece by piece. He remembers.

    “Crowley!” The cry was torn out of him, desperate and guttural in a way he hadn’t ever heard his voice. At least, not in this lifetime.

    Or: Asa Fell makes a wish on a shooting star. The next morning, he finds that it comes true.

    Summary

    Aziraphale's lips are warm and soft, and Crowley sighs, wrapping his arms around the angel's neck. He lets himself be pulled from the chair, and Aziraphale's hands are welcome against his cheeks and in his hair. It's the very opposite of rain. Hair was made for touching, and fine jackets didn't harm one in the looks department. Not that Aziraphale had ever been particularly interested in the latter. He could be counted on to give kisses like this whether Crowley was wearing one or not.

    "My dear," Aziraphale murmurs against Crowley's mouth, "you've caught a chill."

    Summary

    "...it never felt fair to ask anyone to be my partner while I was still half in the closet.”

    Crowley shrugged a shoulder. “Admirable."

    “Do you think so? I am glad. I thought it might have been stupid of me.” He felt his face warm and he flicked a glance at his glass, considering the level of the sherry. This wasn’t the man he’d come here to meet, he reminded himself. This wasn’t a date.

    “Didn’t say it wasn’t stupid,” Crowley drawled, that tug at the corner of his sardonic mouth twitching again. He leaned forward then, his neck stretching as he leant his chin on his hand. “No rule saying something can’t be two things at once.”

    Crowley would know.

    . . .
    Middle aged dating is a nightmare. Nobody Erelah met had sent any excitement racing up his spine. It was his luck that the one man that piqued his interest was one who had rescued him from a date going wrong, and said man didn’t seem to have any interest in anything but friendship. Well, he supposed he would take what he could get.

    Anthony Crowley has his own reasons for not dating. Expectations vs reality were too far apart in his experience, and he desperately doesn't want to disappoint anyone, especially his new friend.

    Summary

    A podfic of More Strong Together by SpectrallyDistracted. This podfic is basically me reading you the story. No sound effects or music. If you like the idea of sitting on the sofa and listening, that's the vibe.

    ---

    Fic summary: When a heartbroken Crowley gets drunk in St. James’s Park, a kind stranger intervenes before any real harm can come to him, and Crowley is smitten. He dreams of the man, waits for him in the park, and feels as if his heart will break without him. All from one brief encounter.

    In the park late one night, Aziraphale hears a young man crying and it breaks his heart. The heart that he shouldn’t feel at all. He sits with the young man, walks him home, and he is smitten. He dreams of the young man, watches him from the shadows, and wishes he could make him his own. All from one brief encounter.

    Ah, yes. The course of true love never did run smooth.

    Summary

    On the day of his son’s university graduation, Aziraphale was feeling particularly saucy when he saw how Crowley reacted to seeing his doctoral regalia.

    This fic is a spin off of my human AU Who Deserves a Second Chance?.
    All you need to know from that fic is that Raphael and Layla are Aziraphale’s children and Adam is Crowley’s son. Nina is their neighbor, and Pepper is her daughter. Aziraphale and Crowley have been together for about six years at this point. The kids—who are all in their twenties by now—are only in this story to provide the setup for why Crowley and Aziraphale are at commencement together.
