Honest Angel by Twilightcitysky

Summary
“That’s why you decided to drive a scooter to the Downs? You wanted to break laws?”
“I planned to trespass, too,” Aziraphale said conspiratorially. “Mr. Haverford’s estate has a lovely view of the ocean.”
Crowley burst out laughing. He couldn’t help it. But Aziraphale blushed and looked twitchy. “I suppose it would seem funny to you,” he muttered.
“It’s just… angel, you like being the good one.” He ought to, he’d lorded it over Crowley often enough.
“I can do unexpected things.” Aziraphale turned to face him. His expression was a strange mix of contemplation and terror: a first-time parachute jumper looking out the open door of the plane.
“I know that, but you don’t–”
“And I can go fast,” Aziraphale said. His eyes dropped to Crowley’s lips.
Crowley’s stomach swooped. “Angel–”
“I can break rules,” Aziraphale whispered. “Especially the ones that don’t make sense anymore.”

Summary
“Are you feeling compelled to tell us anything?” Lan Xichen asked.
“Not precisely. It does feel nice. I hadn’t associated honesty with anything pleasant before now.”
“I don’t think you’ll appreciate this in the morning,” Nie Mingjue muttered. “Do you want us to leave you be? Or gag you?”
“I’m finding this entire affair curiously enjoyable, actually,” Meng Yao stated.

Summary
I squirmed, pinned between him and the counter. "It’s not – look, I don’t run to schedule, okay?" I said. "Don’t – I’m not easy."
"You don’t say." Okay, that much sarcasm was uncalled for.
"I mean it," I said doggedly. "I’m not one of those ‘insert coin, pull lever’ girls."

Bookmarker's Notes
Really well-done story about female orgasm, basically, in a relationship exactly as complicated as the one you would expect between Dresden and Marcone. (And a bonus point in this story’s favor: I don’t usually like gender-swap stories — possibly because as a nonbinary person who is still pretty firmly in the gender-identity closet, I currently find it easier to look at gender out of the corner of my eye rather than head-on — but this one is really well-done. Harry is still very much Harry. A lot of authors will switch genders and then also end up changing characterizations to some extent because their personal gender biases start to shine through unconsciously. Lightgetsin didn’t do that.)

Rare that I bookmark the second story in a series and not the first, but this was such a beautiful depiction of depression and how it can affect a romantic relationship and, with luck, how the other people in the relationship can kick your butt enough to help get you on your way out of the depression.

Summary
“You’re here on-” Aziraphale lowered his voice, though not his outraged high pitch, leading to the sort of tone that gave nearby bats a headache, but required Crowley to lean in quite closely. “Demon business?”
“I’m a demon. By definition, all my business is demon business.” Crowley smiled quite infuriatingly, though also handsomely, which just made it worse. “But also, yeah. Destroy all the good in the world. Erode humanity’s faith in the Almighty. Sow a bit of dissent and treachery and blasphemy and…” Crowley tried to think of more nouns. “...stuff.”
“Here!? At a monastery?”
Crowley shrugged. “Go big or go home.”

Very enjoyable. I identify with Aziraphale in a lot of ways and so I am 100% there for any story that has him coming to his senses earlier than canon, bless his heart.
And the art from wortvermis is lovely!

Made me laugh *and* made me cry. Also, I have a fond spot for outsider POV’s, and although Janine is technically not an outsider, she’s close enough that the bits of the story written from her perspective felt outsider-y, and I enjoyed that. The whole thing was very well-written.

Grantaire leans against the edge of the door and looks out at him in bemusement. "You're the smartest man I know, Enjolras. I know your memory isn't this bad."
Enjolras's smile fades away to a bewildered frown. "What?"
"They're out again. They're always out on Thursdays. It's date night. I know you know this, I've only told you half a dozen times. And yet you keep showing up."

Summary
Enjolras swallowed. "I didn't know he had tattoos on his back."
"Yeah," said Joly, shrugging. "I mean, he lives with me and before about noon, he's allergic to shirts—"
"Why—" said Enjolras weakly.
"I always figured he had a bad shirt experience," Joly offered. "Shirts killed his family, or his first dog got hit by a truck full of shirts."
Enjolras shook his head. His face was a little flushed.
"Ooh, are you experiencing symptoms?" said Joly, brightening. "What's your pulse doing? Are you breathing normally? How do your glands feel?"
Inspired in part by tumblr user feferi's post here, specifically: "i am in love with the idea that enjolras is so baffled by his own emotions towards grantaire that he legitimately cannot tell if he has heartburn or stomach butterflies"
Modern AU. Joly is a gentleman, a scholar, a med student—and, when need be, a matchmaker. And oh, the need is definitely being.
