Summary
“I love you.”
Aziraphale looked up, momentarily caught off guard. His brow furrowed faintly, and he straightened in his seat as though he’d misheard. His hands drifted to the hem of his waistcoat, fingers beginning to fidget in that habitual, unconscious way they did whenever he was processing something unexpected.
“Oh,” he said, blinking. “I wasn’t even doing anything.”
Crowley gave a small shrug, lips twitching into a crooked half-smile. “Yeah, I know.”
*****
It's game night in the South Downs - expect an evening of Jenga, Battleships, cheating and a boat-load of soft fluffy comfort.

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
“I read the books about you,” Muriel said matter-of-factly.
Crowley wasn’t following. “The books about me?”
“The letter books to Aziraphale’s friend Diary? You must know them. They must be an angel, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them before.”
Crowley coughed heavily. “You’ve read Aziraphale’s diary?”

Summary
When bumbling but well-meaning angel Aziraphale is reassigned to the Angel For Christmas programme, he is humiliated, but knows it's his last chance to prove himself as an angel before he loses his wings forever. He only has a few days in which to grant a child's Christmas wish, reconnect a broken family and earn back his angelic status.
No problem, right?
Well, it might not have been... if it hadn't been for the child's ill-mannered, grouchy, workaholic, Christmas-hating dad.
As Aziraphale races against the clock to try and restore his Christmas spirit and bring him closer to his son, he also finds himself struggling with some new and unexpected feelings of his own...

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
Two London snobs (accomplished professionals highly respected in their fields, thank you very much) are forced to stop and reconsider their life and career choices after a horrible summer. Strongly encouraged by their entourage to take a break and reconnect with nature, whatever that means, they find themselves on the same idyllic Scottish island by some strange twist of fate. New neighbours and temporary owners of two nearly identical cottages that are in desperate need of new plumbing and better kitchens, burned out actor Aziraphale and disgraced chef Crowley can’t stop running into each other.
Autumn on the Isle of Skye is rainy and lonely, and everyone needs some company. And if the company is so good that parting seems unbearable, it’s just part of the magic of the island, surely. Afterall, they only have one autumn.Series

Summary
Crowley has always dreamed about adventure and otherworldly things, but the highlight of his day seems to be sending out late fees to people at the library. At least until one single bookseller in Soho refuses to return a book.
He keeps telling himself that every time he returns to the bookshop, it's because the bastard won't give back the book.

Summary
When a professor of archaeology at a midwestern university disappears while on a dig, the Director of SHIELD takes an unexpected interest. Now Agents Clint Barton and Phil Coulson are being sent to the city of Driftless to investigate. Undercover. As married students.
Clint quickly finds himself knee-deep in potsherds and surrounded by suspects-- and possibly even zombies-- while navigating his pseudo-relationship with Phil.
Phil, meanwhile, is having the time of his life. It's the perfect opportunity for him to finish his PhD dissertation and rid himself of his annoying preoccupation with Clint's ass. Or so he thinks.
But in Driftless, very little is exactly what it seems.

Postcards From Paris by ghostrat

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
After the end-of-the-world that wasn't, Aziraphale is in a brand new body... for the very first time.
___Aziraphale's tongue was all tied up, and although words had come easily to him all his life, he felt in that moment he’d never said a single one that mattered. He’d nattered about good and evil, books and plays and wars and righteousness, gorillas and whales and all manner of irreverent things, but he’d never told anyone that he—
“I love you,” he blurted out. Ah, that hadn’t been so hard after all. “I love you, and I’d be very grateful if you’d bugger me into next week, if you’re willing, I’ve waited ages and it would help me feel ever so much more settled in my skin.” Oh dear. The new body needed some work on impulse control.

Improvement Day by Twilightcitysky
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
12 May 2021
Tags
Summary
The time has come for Improvement Day, Heaven's decennial work retreat. The angels posted to Earth are relieved of their terrestrial assignments and join middle management in attempting to improve organizational operations right across the board. Typical activities include name games, trust falls, client-facing skill role play, and miracle budget workshops. It's loathed by all the Earth operatives- but particularly by Aziraphale, who always finds himself unable to fit in (no matter how many icebreakers there are).
This year, an angel no one quite remembers seeing before is on a mission to befriend Aziraphale, but it seems that the odds are against him. He has to contend with a networking-obsessed Gabriel and an unabashedly flirtatious colleague; Michael thinks he might be the next big thing in parsimonious celestial energy handling; and Sandalphon is sure he's seen him somewhere before. Meanwhile, Aziraphale's angry with him for showing up, the gold paint on his cheeks is flaking, losing a contact lens would mean a quick discorporation at the hands of four dozen angels, and isn't this just the story of Crowley's life?

Summary
When Stede put out the advertisement for a man, it was very late at night and he was very, very drunk.

Rate of pay negotiable – role involves engaging with somewhat difficult personages and you will be compensated accordingly. Note that you will be posing as another man’s romantic partner; homophobes need not apply.
---
Frustrated by his rich, bigoted family, Stede Bonnet advertises for a man to be his fake date when he faces them at Christmas. Tattooed biker Edward Teach responds.

Summary
The man beside him shifted, digging the metal cuff further into Izzy's wrist. His arm was warm; his voice was infuriating. He had not stopped talking since Izzy woke up with a splitting headache, no weapons, and no way to escape.
"This is unbelievably rude," said Bonnet.
Izzy and Stede are seized off the street, handcuffed together, and held for ransom. Together, they must figure out how to escape before they can be used as bait for Blackbeard's capture.

Summary
Salvage diver Ed Teach is no stranger to the story of Blackbeard and the Queen Anne's Revenge- after all, the famous pirate is a distant ancestor. But then Professor Stede Bonnet, maritime archaeologist and many-times-great-grandson of the original, waltzes through the door of his shop and requests his services in finding the wreck. What are the odds?
Ed's had enough of the cutthroat world of salvage diving, and he's this close to leaving it all behind. But Bonnet's quest sparks an interest he hasn't felt in years, and he agrees to help the oddly charming man. Nothing to do with the fact that the Queen Anne might just be the last treasure trove Ed needs to escape his life. Definitely nothing to do with the way Bonnet's cheerful enthusiasm makes his heart skip a beat.
Together they'll hunt for the wreck... and then they'll reckon with what comes next.
