    Summary

    In the sleepy community of Taddersfield, Mr Aziraphale Eastgate esq. is busy running his sheep farm and nursing a broken heart.

    Anthony Crowley has just lost everything, but might be able to find a place for himself as a shepherd on Mr Eastgate's farm.

    However, a wave of land enclosures are sweeping the countryside. Land owners and workers find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that could tear the community, and Aziraphale and Crowley's new relationship, apart.

    Summary

    The London Season of 1841 opened with a flourish of silk and the sharp scent of ambition. Having spent years honing his craft in the most elite bordello of Paris, Mr. Anthony Crowley arrived to London with a singular, razor-sharp objective: to trade his "personal services" for social currency and climb the Victorian ladder, one rung at a time.

    Across the city, Aziraphale having unexpectedly inherited the title of the Earl of Eastgate, finds himself trying to navigate an aristocratic world of unwritten rules he barely understood and never wanted. When the haughty Duke Gabriel presented him with a month-long, pre-paid contract for Mr Crowley's 'exclusive services', Aziraphale was more than dismayed—he was mortified.

    Unwilling to indulge in the physicalities of the contract, Aziraphale finds himself considering Crowley’s most unusual counter-proposal. The Earl needed a tutor for the Ton; Crowley needed a respectable appearance of an Earl on his arm. Crowley would teach him the etiquette of the elite, and in exchange, they would perform the role of devoted paramours for the public eye.

    It was a sensible, businesslike arrangement. Certainly no feelings would be involved...

    Summary

    In a world where Dominants and Submissives are born to their dynamics and must pair off or face biology induced madness, Aziraphale and Crowley have emerged from the emotional wreckage of their forced pairing by an all-powerful Council. Trust was hard-won battle, and although the scars of Crowley’s past run deep, they have finally crossed the threshold into new territory: a genuine, chosen bond.

    Yet as they learn to navigate their new bond, the shadows of the old order still loom. With the high-society Gala fast approaching and a historic, high-stakes legal battle on the horizon to challenge the Council's doctrine that Submissives are merely property without the right to inherit, they must stand together. Because changing their own world was only the beginning—now, they face changing the rest of it.

    This is written in loving memory and is a continuation of the story The Art of Letting Go by Nekhen.

    Summary

    In a world where Dominants and Submissives are identified at birth and paired off by an all-powerful Council, Dominant Aziraphale strives to keep out of the entire mess and live his simple, easy life to the best of his abilities. He has a nice household, an interesting job, and all the books he could possibly need. Everything is blissfully, boringly perfect.

    The very last thing he expects is to come home one day to a red-haired man chained to the floor of his drawing room.

    Temporarily on hiatus.

    Summary

    A half-step is all it takes to get Aziraphale close enough to murmur into Crowley’s ear, “Put the light out when you go to bed, and I’ll come to you.”
