Summary
Two years have gone since Aziraphale returned from Heaven, and nothing has really changed between him and Crowley. Aziraphale isn’t ready – and thankfully, Crowley seems understanding and patient.
However, one day Crowley shows up in the bookshop, drenched and evasive. Over the following months, the demon becomes more distant, preoccupied with texts and calls. Has Hell found a way to ensnare the demon once again - or is it something else entirely?
Perhaps, in order not to lose Crowley, Aziraphale has to change.
This story can be read as a stand-alone, but it is also a companion fic to Love of My Life, Love of My Existence

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautiful, agonizing, cathartic - not so much post season 2 fix-it, but more of a tear it all down and try to address the cracks in the foundation. Aziraphale’s journey. Best read with its companion fic “Love of My Life, Love of My Existence” (Crowley’s journey). I went back and forth and it enhanced both exponentially.

Summary
Two years have gone since Aziraphale returned from Heaven, and nothing has really changed between him and Crowley. Crowley aches for more: to talk, to love – but Aziraphale isn’t ready. And Crowley, finally, grows impatient…
Crowley hadn’t meant for it to happen. During his long stint on Earth, it had only happened twice before. Mariam had been brilliant, her astrolabes even more so. More importantly, she had been curious, nonjudgmental. Leonardo had shared many of her traits – but he had also been more of a bastard, tricking Crowley into staying longer than he had planned. When he was laid to rest, Crowley had sworn on two things. First, to never stay around long enough to see anyone dear to him perish ever again. He had kept that promise until the bookshop burned (and maybe longer, depending on the definition of perishing). Second, to never again get involved with a human, their fragility and mortality making the heartache too inevitable for it to be worth it.
He kept that one until Oscar.

Crowley finds comfort wherever he can in the absence of his angel, and not in the healthiest of ways. The journey to find closure in the flesh of another is a long and hollow one.

Summary
A professor doing his best to start over and a barista still flogging himself for mistakes of the past meet cute and hit it off like a house on fire. Excellent! Now can they make something sweet out of their broken bits and partially healed lives with the help of a small band of odd and oddly familiar friends? (and frenemies?) (SPOILER: Yes. The answer is yes. Absolutely. Hallelujah and amen.) [Complete!]

Summary
Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?
---
It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.
He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.

Summary
Anthony J. Crowley, best selling author, has writer's block. He could blame the Accident, but deep down he knows his block started way before. He hasn't written anything in too long, if we choose to ignore the dozens of unsent letters addressed to the angel he lost two decades ago, when he moved to New York City.
When his best (and only) friend convinces him to take a little vacation in a small town in Connecticut, he expects peace and quiet. He doesn't expect to see the smile that still haunts his dreams again. Apparently, small towns are full of surprises, and how late is too late?The world stops spinning on its axis or, at the very least, Crowley stops breathing. This is absolutely impossible. He forces himself to swallow, to take a deep breath, as he doesn’t want to scare this girl off. Muriel, who is still smiling, all bright and wide and just like-
Oh, God. “A bookshop, you said?” He chokes out. This is impossible, and he’s being ridiculous. He is in London, this is just a sick coincidence and his stupid brain playing stupid games.
“Yes, you can see it if you turn around.” Crowley doesn’t move. “It’s called A. Z. Fell Books.”
Now, the world definitely stops spinning.Series

Summary
Aziraphale, a lonely anxious bookseller from Soho, walks in St. James park every Wednesday and Sunday.
For nearly nine months he has had various, wordless, encounters with a very handsome red-haired man with sunglasses.
They have never spoken, but a strange and lovely intimacy has slowly grown between them as they share the same space, and feed the ravenous ducks by the pond.
It's all been rather lovely... and then one day... the red-haired man says 'hello.'
UPDATE: Rated 'E' for chapters 13 and 16, see beginning notes for warnings on all other chapters. Reads as an ACE-friendly story through Chapter 12, though acknowledges the existence of sexuality in earlier chapters.

Aziraphale has lived with Crowley for a year, watching him tumble from partner to partner. Inconvenient thing to have fallen for his flatmate, who has absolutely no wish to settle with anyone.
Perhaps it's time to move on... if the night allows.

Summary
Aziraphale deliberately took Crowley to lunch to seduce him. To inspire him, as Aziraphale had insisted on clarifying. Not into anything more than kissing him, Crowley was certain. But when they get back to the bookshop it ends up being a whole lot more.
“Has it occurred to you, Crowley,” Aziraphale draws his name out, like it’s something special and just the right flavor on his tongue. “That I might want you just as badly as you want me?”
Sixty seconds ago, Crowley wouldn’t have believed him for even a moment but now… He trips over the tenses of things: “It had not.”

Summary
A collection of my Good Omens Regency era AUs, as I find I'm quite fond of writing them. The fics in this series aren't at all connected with one another and may each be read on their own.
Title taken from a quote from Jane Austen's 'Emma' : "I cannot make speeches. If I loved you less I might be able to talk about it more."

Summary
Picking up where canon leaves off, my Eden!verse chronicles Aziraphale & Crowley's adventures through great losses, gains, and life's cosmic curveballs. From a village on Earth to Heaven, Hell, and Eden itself, Aziraphale and Crowley make many new friends, learn God's plan for them, and discover what it means to love each other.
It is, in turns, gripping, epic, heartrending, sweet, romantic, and humorous. Based on my readers' comments, there is a great likelihood that you will cry.

Summary
“But you admit it! You did tempt me!”
“I offered you warm food during a storm,” Crowley argues. “If you call that temptation, I’d hate to see you talk to an innkeeper.” Aziraphale scowls some more. Crowley shrugs. “Besides, no harm done. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”
He has Aziraphale there. “Still,” he says, spreading his hands wide. “It has to be said—” He glances up to the sky. “—for anyone listening, that I am not at fault for my appetite.”
“Never said you were,” Crowley says. “Just said you liked the oysters.”
