  1. Summary

    A little self-indulgent fluffy JonMartin AU. In this AU Martin is an English Professor somewhat new to Magnus University, and Jon is the standoffish research librarian tasked to assist him in his literary research.

    Martin's first impression of Jon is 'hot', quickly followed up by 'prick,' but after an awkward apology and a few pleasant chats, Martin finds he has more in common with Jon than he thought. Which is really such a shame because Martin has always been bad at not falling for pretty men.

    Meanwhile, Jon quickly finds himself having to reassess the brash assumptions he made of Dr. Blackwood because maybe this man is actually quite lovely after-all.

    But research work doesn't last forever, so what happens then? And for god's sake, will Jon ever realize he likes the man??

    Summary

    In 1915, Aziraphale goes to war. He heals, despite Heaven's belief that he shouldn't be using his miracles on humans, and sits by the bedsides of men he shouldn't be saving. And he writes - letters he shouldn't be composing, to a demon that will never see them.

    (This series is set in a connected and canon-compliant universe, but all works can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    In good weather, one can see the lighthouse at the Rock from the shore: a dot on the horizon, a distant star flashing red and white and red again.

    It’s been dark for a fortnight, of course—ever since the incident that every newspaper had breathlessly written about, that the paper-boys on the corners had shouted themselves hoarse over.

    This is where Aziraphale is headed: it is his duty, after all, to find out what happened, to make sure that the beacon can be safely lit once again.

    He does not expect Crowley to follow him to the windswept isle, to the lonely lighthouse at what could just as well be the edge of the world.

    Crowley follows him anyway.

    Summary

    [1930s Dust Bowl au]

    Something settles in the man's fiery eyes, and he lowers the shotgun. Phoenix audibly lets out a breath. He makes eye contact with Miles, mustering every drop of gratitude into his gaze. For defending him.

    Now, he pays the debt.

    -

    “You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
    But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
    And filter and fibre your blood.

    Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
    Missing me one place search another,
    I stop somewhere waiting for you.”
    ― Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
