    Summary

    Summary

    Allergies are terribly inconvenient. Aziraphale would rather not spend his first date with Crowley sneezing unattractively, but taking a strong anti-histamine beforehand was perhaps not the wisest decision.

    Summary

    Lord Aziraphale Fell, the Viscount of Whitefeather Manor and heir for the title of Earl of Sussex is a reserved, persnickety fellow much more fond of literature than the tedious song and dance of noble society. Although he is in need of a mate, he is plagued with the residual fear of a heartbreak several years past. Lord Anthony Crowley, the youngest and only Omega child of the Earl and Countess of Sutherland, is a wild, untamable thing with a propensity for outspokenness and mischief, underscored by an intriguing disregard for etiquette despite the good breeding and education to know far better.

    Both are faced with the newfound knowledge that a True Mate awaits them out in the world, and are faced with the question: shall they remain in search for their destined partner, the other half of their soul? Or shall they forge ahead and write their own destiny?

    *** The turn-of-the-century nobility True Mates Omegaverse AU literally nobody asked for ***

    Summary

    “You know… I just remembered that Richard and I were going away for a few days next month.” Something devious came over him. “Richard paid for it, but the booking is in my name.”

    Crowley quickly caught on to what he was getting at. “Ooh, I see. That’s convenient.” He grinned. “For us."

    When Aziraphale's boyfriend Richard (Dick) breaks up with him, he and his roommate Crowley hijacks an intended couples' vacation and uses it for themselves.
    Lines that had started to blur even before their trip gets even more blurry - which perhaps isn't the best thing when both are hiding a crush on the other (and communication isn't their strong suit).

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell, BAFTA-winning actor of stage and screen, is bored. Bored of playing middle-aged divorcees in dull BBC dramas. Bored of answering the same questions on chat shows and breakfast television. Bored of keeping the real him hidden away.
    So when the opportunity presents itself to collaborate with up-and-coming rock band Witching Hour, he takes it, against his own common sense and the condescending advice of his agent. Witching Hour’s mysterious guitarist Crowley, flame-haired, moody, and a good fifteen years his junior, certainly seems worth the risk.

    Summary

    It’s never too early to have a midlife crisis.

    Inheriting his Auntie G’s gothic mansion in the Yorkshire Moors gives Aziraphale the excuse he needs to finally escape the train wreck of the life he's stumbled into.

    He just needs some space. Some time to get his thoughts in order.

    But Eden’s End House is full of mystery and dark secrets, and a devastatingly attractive gardener who just wont stop questioning everything Aziraphale thought he knew about himself. And he does it while shirtless, which really is terribly unfair of the man.

    A Secret Garden AU written for the GO Events Server Book Fest.

    Summary

    This was a kinkmeme prompt and as usual I can't do better than to paraphrase the OP :

    Aziraphale is a frumpy, middle aged man, who's closing in on 50 : he's spent his entire life alone, mistreated by his family, and living like a modern times hermit in his familiar, reassuring bookshop. He thinks it's too late for passion. But he hopes that, maybe, he could find a companion for his latter days.

    Crowley has spent his entire life having a wild time: parties, sex, rock n roll, all that jazz. He flew through the 80s, the 90s, the new millennium like a car on fire. He thought he had time, thought he'd be young and surrounded by people forever, thought with fling after fling after fling, someone would find him. Someone would look at him and choose him. But no one ever did.

    To paraphrase (again) - they turn to an arranged marriage company. And they fit..

    Summary

    Crowley (generally known to the staff as That Demon) was unusual in that he was obviously aware of his library codename, and delighted in returning the favour. Thank goodness, he showed no apparent signs of mental illness, or awkward exhibitionism, or even potential danger.
    What he was was bloody annoying.

    Aziraphale adores his work as a public librarian. He finds fulfillment in answering questions, recommending titles, and planning programs. He likes his co-workers (well, most of them), and loves the small city he serves. The only thing marring his happy life is That Patron.
    Until one spectacularly disastrous Summer Reading Program throws them into a most unusual Arrangement.

    Summary

    “Perhaps you should just spread your legs and see where it takes you,” Tracy says encouragingly.

    Crowley nearly chokes on his drink. “Uh. Do you mean my wings?!”

    “Yeah, those too.”

    ----------

    When Crowley agrees to attend singles night on Valentine's Day to tide over Anathema's and Tracy's concerns about his luck in the romance department, he doesn't really think much of it. It's a speed dating event. It's not like he'll be meeting the love of his life, right?

    But then he sees Aziraphale, the gorgeous author who works two floors below him—who he may have been admiring for some time now—and he promptly loses his goddamn mind.

    Summary

    Crowley is a world-famous rock star who sells out arenas. His name is synonymous with 'rock-n-roll', and he thrives on the spotlight. When he agrees to raffle off a date with himself for charity, he's expecting to meet an overzealous fan that wants to wear his skin and very well might try to roofie him. What he's not expecting is to be instantly attracted to the quiet man with the unusual name who shows up for the date at the Ritz... and he's certainly not expecting for Aziraphale to have no clue who he is...

    Summary

    “The thing is, I don’t really wanna be with a fat old guy.”

    Crowley wishes he was the type of person who still read newspapers, so he could be hiding behind one right now. His sunglasses do a piss-poor job of hiding his expression at the best of times, and this is most decidedly not a best of times.
    - - -
    When Crowley (and the rest of the cafe) overhears Aziraphale being dumped brutally, he takes it upon himself to track the other man down. Just in the name of solidarity, see. It's not because Crowley's been in love with Aziraphale since the first time he saw him.

    That would be ridiculous.

    Summary

    Ever since he was young, Ezra Fell dreamed of adventure. He dreamed of far off destinations and dashing heroes. He dreamed of danger and excitement. He dreamed of exploration and romance. Now, as an adult, his life is much less exotic locales and much more boring political dinner parties with his fiancé, Gabriel Messenger. But a chance meeting with a literary agent might be his last chance at the adventure he sought as a child.

    Gabriel would surely support him.

    Right?

    And he could never fall for the brash and abrasive Mr. Anthony J. Crowley.

    Right?

    It was just one silly little trip to find a silly little amulet in Egypt.

    Right?

    Summary

    "Once, when Aziraphale was younger and far more of a romantic, he had hoped to be swept off his feet into a whirlwind romance: to feel his heart grow asunder over the passionate thrills of love - a Shakespearean love, filled with flowery words and heated confessions. But such aspirations did not long last. In these circles of society, people married for power. For alliance. To marry for love was to condemn oneself to a life of poverty. And to find that love, out of circumstance, from the stale negotiations of a wedded alliance was above all the greatest privilege, one that could not be afforded by even the wealthiest creature in the world."

    *

    Sir Anthony Crowley has been living his independent life as a cast-out younger son when he had a baronetcy and failing estate suddenly thrust upon him. Mr Aziraphale, son of a wealthy tradesman, could be the answer to his troubles. A balance of rank and wealth, was this not just what unions were for? A series of meetings in the ballrooms of Bath will determine what fate has in store for these two.
