    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell has always done things properly. He is an excellent pilot, disciplined, and determined to make captain. He has never been closeted, but he has always dated the right men: successful and appropriate. Love can wait. There are career destinations to reach first.

    Anthony Crowley has a rather different reputation. A talented flight attendant with a sharp tongue and an even sharper uniform, he keeps his relationships casual, never staying long enough for anyone to expect more. He has learned not to expect much for himself.

    Then they start working together. Somehow in the air, they fit. Aziraphale flies the plane; Crowley handles the people. They anticipate each other, trust each other, make each other better. What begins as a working partnership becomes friendship, then something more, eventually leading to an impulsive choice. Fear makes Aziraphale put his career first. He walks away, leaving them both devastated.

    Six years later, neither has found the life they thought they were choosing. When they find themselves working together again, they have to decide whether they can be brave enough to stop treating love as something that can always be left until later.

    Summary

    HR consultant Crowley has a new client: Pure Communications. Having invested heavily in AI, Pure has hired him to "optimise" their talent. That means he has two weeks to present a list of recommended redundancies to The Board.

    And that's fine - being bad cop is what Crowley does best. At least, that's what he thought until the lift doors opened.

    A fic about non-fraternisation clauses, sexual tension in lifts, and preserving human creativity in the face of AI.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell had given up his job at Oxford to take up a new position at the family publishing firm. But he's *weary*. So when cousin Gabriel recommends a holiday in the summer break - one last hurrah before he gets down to his new career - Aziraphale jumps at the chance, and books a solo trip to see the historic sites of the Spanish city of Valencia.

    He doesn't count on his tour guide being a charming, gorgeous redhead with a track record of no-strings flings. Still - it's his last hurrah, just a week of fun in a romantic city. Where was the harm in that?

    Summary

    An old family curse brings Dr Aziraphale Fell, professor of Religious History and Folkloric Traditions, into correspondence with Mr Anthony Crowley, whose family is said to be cursed.

    Neither anticipates how quickly, or how willingly their letters would begin to matter.

    What follows is a slow, intimate exchange about curses, books, loneliness, belonging... and the unexpected ways two lives can begin to align, one letter at a time.

    Summary

    Six years ago, Crowley left St Louis for a fresh start back in London.

    He was hearbroken - but what did he expect, when he'd fallen in love with an engaged man?

    Now he's back, with his sister and nephew, and reluctantly getting into the holiday spirit. Visiting a "Santa's Grotto" certainly wasn't his idea of a good time. But then he caught sight of the really, really hot Santa.

    A human AU about second chances and a very Unchristmasy-Christmas. T for swears and Crowley's Santa-kink, but smut (and angst) free!

    Summary

    After the whole Second Coming business was sorted out, Aziraphale and Crowley found themselves at a bit of a loose end.

    Being cut adrift from both Sides was fantastic - of course it was. But Crowley couldn't help notice the elephant in the room - the fact was, that disasterous kiss in the bookshop hadn't been their first kiss - not by a long shot. Back in 2019, they had kissed (and done a lot more than that) during one spectacular night together at the SIXTH millennial interdisciplinary icebreaker!!! in Bangor, Wales.

    So now, Crowley was taking Aziraphale back to Bangor for a weekend away: to remind the Angel what they'd done, what they'd had... and what they could have again.

    Of course, he probably shouldn't have left the directions enitrely up to the Bentley.

    Summary

    A mixture of boredom and outrage at being dumped led to wilful misuse of the office printer. A day later, Crowley found himself in the awful student bar near work listening to break up stories, getting drunk on pissy beer.

    But despite all expectation, he was having a great time. There was nothing like other people’s problems to put yours in perspective. He was already congratulating himself on an excellent idea, when a new arrival suddenly made the evening much more interesting.

    A meet cute in a real student bar in London, and Crowley has always been a "glass half full" sort of guy.

    Summary

    A reverse-ish human AU where Ezra is an angel and Crowley is from the wrong side of town. But....

    >> What if..... Crowley was the one that wanted Ezra to take the Top Job?
    >> What if.... Ezra wanted them to run away together?
    >> What if..... Crowley was the one who said "I don't even like you" and "we don't know each other"?

    Or: Crowley fell in love with Ezra Teachdaire when they were 15. But no one could ever know. Especially not Ezra. 15 years later, they're still hooking up, and Ezra might suspect something.

    Summary

    Crowley's fall from grace in London led him back to his dad's house to lick his wounds and work in the McDonalds next door. Still, it's not all that bad. Every few days he gets to serve the Angel in the Yellow Bentley. The most gorgeous, charming man he's ever met, whose smile is like a ray of sunshine in that shitty corner of Glasgow. Except when he uses his Something's Wrong voice.

    Summary

    Crowley recovered from Covid well enough. Sure his eyes are still sensitive, the joint pain is lingering. But he can live with that. It's the fact he still can't smell or taste anything a year after getting better that's ruined his life. And none of his so-called friends stuck around for the pity party.

    Smell training doesn't work. He's been at it for months. So there's absolutely no reason to continue smell visualisation with this Aziraphale guy, is there? In retrospect, the Pavlovian erection situation probably isn't helping.

    ---
    A Human AU where Aziraphale helps Crowley regain his sense of smell after Covid-related anosmia.
    No angst or trauma, though Crowley is coping with long term effects of Covid (mild disability).

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley are living, free and happy, on Alfa Senturi. And then Aziraphale decides to risk everything and return to Akesh with Ligur to rescue Raphael.

    Back in the slave capital, Aziraphale meets Anathema - and she has a prophecy that will change the world. But the Marse'keshi are searching for them - Aziraphale must get back to the moon boat, where Crowley waits for him, before it leaves with the tide.
    --

    Aziraphale had turned away, facing outward and towards the direction he expected the pair to come from, but Ligur had remained motionless. It was for that reason that Ligur was the one who first noticed something was wrong. “Someone’s lit a torch.” He whispered urgently.

    “What?” Aziraphale tried to wriggle back round, but then they both heard a commotion and shouts coming from the garden, and beyond, within the villa.

    “We need to run, now!” Aziraphale grabbed Ligur’s arm and tried to pull him out of the bushes, back onto the track.

    "I’m not leaving Raphael!” The other man held firm.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley are slaves living in the Akeshi capital, meeting briefly at a slave market and making an instant connection.

    Crowley dreams of the two of them running away together, before Aziraphale is sold on to a new household. Crowley prays to Aziraphale's god to make him brave enough to find Crowley again.

    While they're apart, Aziraphale discovers a means of escape - across the Akeshi straits. But Crowley can't swim...

    ----

    “Thank you for saving me.” Crowley murmured against Aziraphale’s chest, slurring the words as he began to drift into sleep.

    “We have one life.” Aziraphale replied. “I saved myself."
