    Summary

    “Are you alright? What’s all this about then?”

    “Ah. Well. I might have slipped.”

    “Slipped?”

    “Took a bit of a tumble, I’m afraid,” Aziraphale said. “But, well. What’s done is done.”

    “What’s done - ?”

    “Now that I’m no longer beholden to a rather arbitrary moral code, I have to ask: Do you pay taxes? Actually, more importantly, do you think I can stop paying taxes now? That seems like a sufficiently demonic thing to do. Refusing to do my civic duty and whatnot. Quite devious, I’d argue.”

    This was, in hindsight, not the most sensitive way of breaking the news.

    Summary

    CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
    AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
    CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
    AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
    CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.

     

    ***

    Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

    But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

    Summary

    When humans need sanctuary, they go to holy places. But Aziraphale isn’t human. He has the next best thing, though: Crowley’s Bentley.

    Summary

    Aziraphale, for as many books as he’s read, isn’t sure he has the words to explain the vastness of his feeling, the burden of denying something so all-encompassing. He’d need years to do that. Decades, maybe. Now isn’t the time even for silence because they have important things to do, but he can’t bring himself to break whatever’s happening between them. He’d stand staring at Crowley until they turned to stone. Until Heaven and Hell came to punish them with whatever cruel and unusual means they’d come up with.

     

    (A story in which an angel and a demon survive, Crowley abruptly moves in, and Aziraphale learns about what matters.)

    Summary

    Aziraphale slowly looks from the knife to Crowley’s face. “Holy water.” His voice sounds distant and strange, as if he’s hearing it from outside of himself. “The knife. It’s coated in holy water.”

    Crowley’s smile is thin and bitter. “Yes,” he says.

    In the aftermath of the Apocalypse, Crowley is just trying to find his feet after losing his day job. Unfortunately for him, not every demon was convinced by Aziraphale’s little show during their Trials—and that disbelief proves to be deadly. Aziraphale just wants to read books and revel in a life of freedom. But when Crowley’s hurt, all of his efforts become a race against time to heal him before it’s too late.

    Summary

    "I beg your pardon, dear girl, have you seen--ah."

    She whirled at the voice behind her, off her knees in a flash, and found herself face to face with the kindest eyes she'd ever seen. "What are--?"

    He was a bit taller than she was, pale and round and overwhelming and she couldn't look away from his eyes, like he knew everything and still cared and his eyes, his eyes--

    He caught her elbow as she staggered. "Oh, I'm so sorry." He closed his eyes for a moment and shook himself, settling somehow, and when he opened them again his eyes were kind and a humanish blue, and she could breathe again. He glanced at the blackened shaft in her hand. "I believe you called me?"

    Summary

    He never meant for Heaven to essentially forget he was a Cherub, but six millennia, one non-Apocalypse, several unfortunates misunderstandings and lies, and a demon-napping later, Aziraphale has no choice but to come clean.

    Summary

    "Confidential journals,” Aziraphale calls them. Well, if he’d been so concerned with keeping his precious diaries safe from prying yellow eyes, maybe he shouldn’t have abandoned said eyes alone on Earth and fucked off back to Heaven.

     

    A story about the following, in no particular order: boxing up old memories, unpacking even older ones, lots and lots of red wine, Muriel trying on sunglasses they're not supposed to, neatly looping cursive, Crowley getting his groove back, and an angel and a demon who are figuring love out.

    Summary

    “Well, what’d you tell them?” Crowley raises his glass to take a drink.

    “I told them that I, um—“ Aziraphale means to put it delicately, make it sound logical and perfectly ordinary. Instead, it comes out as: “ImighthavetoldthemthatImiracledyoutofallinlovewithme. Er.”

    Crowley spits out his drink. “You what?” he sputters.

    Only a knee-jerk reaction of a miracle saves Aziraphale from being sprayed with talisker.

     

    When Heaven comes to the bookshop to ask about the twenty five lazurii miracle, Aziraphale panics and claims it was to make Crowley fall in love with him. Now, they’re sending someone to check. There’s only one possible solution.

    They have to pretend to conduct a courtship.

    Summary

    There was that warmth again and Crowley couldn’t help but lean into it, tilting his cheek into Aziraphale’s palm before remembering himself and pulling away. His slit pupils widened as much as they possibly could, and suddenly everything seemed too bright.

    Aziraphale continued to beam up at him.

    Crowley conjured up another pair of sunglasses on his face.

    “Oh! Is this a game?”

    The angel looked delighted as he magicked them away with a snap of his fingers.

     Written for the Good Omens Kink Meme 2019.

    Prompt: Crowley has more snake features than just the eyes, and he's certain Aziraphale will be put off. Aziraphale shows him how much he doesn't mind. Please give me tender moments where Aziraphale takes the sunglasses off and tells him he's beautiful.

    Summary

    The Narrator cleared their throat, “Now, forgive me for being so blunt, Stanley, but trust me when I say that you look like absolute shit.”

    They had to be exaggerating. He was fine! He felt fine!

    To prove it, Stanley went to take another step forward to the room with two doors, but he felt a splitting pain in his temple as–

    “Stanley? STANLEY, ARE YOU ALRI–?”

    His vision went black.

    …Whoops?

    -

    in which Stanley and The Narrator discover that sleep is, in fact, a necessary biological process.

    Summary

    "Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."

    "Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."

    "Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."

    "That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."

    "You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"

    "Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

    Summary

    “Angel,” Crowley all but yelled, smiling sharply. He hadn’t taken off his sunglasses, and it unnerved Annie a little that she couldn’t see his eyes. “Are you aware you have a customer?”

    The owner gave Annie a look that reminded her remarkably of a deer caught in a car’s headlights. “Well, ah,” he stammered.

    Crowley’s sharp grin didn’t abate. “Explains why it’s so... inhospitable in here,” he added, running one finger along a shelf. His finger came away dirty. “Don’t you know that damp is bad for books?”

    The lights seemed to dim again, and the ceiling began to leak in earnest. Annie thought about the book she had picked up, in a foreign language and so choked with dust it was hard to read, and then about her cousin’s allergies. “I should actually get going, sorry,” she said a little uneasily. She let the door shut behind her, shivering in the cold as she headed down the street. That was a bookshop she was never going to return to.
