    Summary

    "It started, funnily enough, with a funeral."

    The funeral of a lovely old woman in a quiet little village near Oxford changes things for the residents forever in ways that they can't begin to fathom. That new face may not be such a stranger after all.

    This is a gentle exploration of the lives of our favourite duo and their friends. It will dip into their pasts and hopefully throw up a few surprises along the way. It's not going to be an easy ride for any of them but let's hope that they get their happy ending.

    Heart ache, misunderstandings, death, betrayal and true love. This has it all and more.

    Summary

    When reluctant astronaut Aziraphale Fell finds himself in need of assistance, the last thing he expects is to develop feelings for the mission controller who answers his call; the charming, foul-mouthed Anthony Crowley.

    As they work to get Aziraphale home, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. Unfortunately, Crowley has reason to believe the powers that be don’t want Guardian One and its sole occupant to survive the journey.

    Summary

    There were all these little hopes and musings Crowley buried so deep in his heart it ached to bring them out into the light to catalogue their faults and flaws, and each time Aziraphale sought him out, or asked his opinion on some weighty manner that was hanging on him, or even just smiled, those little wishings grew bigger and bigger, pressing in on him until he felt as if he was being crushed.

     

    “Princes do not fall in love with gardener boys,” he told himself one night, staring into the shard of looking glass he kept on a shelf, hoping it would help, hoping that hearing it out loud would make him believe it, would help him put all these ridiculous notions behind him.

     

    It didn't work.

     

    Crowley and Aziraphale, the gardener's boy and the prince, meet as children and develop an unlikely friendship.

    By the time they're twenty, everything has changed.

    Summary

    In one month, the upper echelons of London society see the two very highly anticipated and high-profile weddings of Lord Gabriel Archstone to Lady Aziraphale Fell, and of Lord Beecher Elzeb to Lady Antonia Crowley. Talked about as the most picture-perfect ceremonies and the most powerful, aristocratic couples, nobody outside of the four knows the true purpose of these arranged marriages. It's not to gain power or social standing, it's not for love or stability, it's to hide the dark secret that all four of them are homosexual.

    Summary

    Gabriel's in a difficult fix, and only Aziraphale can help him. At least, that's Gabriel's theory.

     

    "I have a little problem that I thought… considering what you must know – ah – intimately -- about demons…”

    “A demon,” said Aziraphale expressionlessly.

    “”Well, a demon is more than none, and I wanted to ask – “

    “Archangel, this conversation is threatening to become indecent. Is this about some sort of a wager, possibly?”

    If A. Z. Fell’s had been the kind of shop that has a concealed bell under the counter to summon the constabulary, Aziraphale’s finger would have been on it.

    Summary

    Falling is a lot simpler than it used to be. Are you currently rebelling against God, as so determined by the Metatron in Her absence? If no, continue as you were. If yes, please prepare to have your celestial soul, the Grace of the Almighty, et cetera, ripped from your infernal body. You will be transferred to Hell in 3... 2... 1...

    Have a great day!

    ---

    Crowley was on his way out of Hell for what he hoped was the last time, fully content to live a life of peace with Aziraphale, free of their respective bosses. Sure, the pining-from-up-close would be a bit of a downer, but he'd had plenty of millennia to practice it. He was in the escalator lobby when the Archangel Gabriel collapsed onto him. Well, he was already on his way out, why not bring Aziraphale's stuffy boss with him?

    Crowley had the luck of the Devil, if even Lucifer had ever been this much of an unlucky bastard.

    The trouble is, Crowley has played all sorts of characters and for the life of him, he can't figure out why he's struggling to play the romantic lead opposite a man.
