    Summary

    Crowley realizes he is in love with Aziraphale in Rome. Of course, by then, there’s no turning back. This does not necessarily mean there’s going forward. Loving Aziraphale is punishable, forbidden in every sense of the word. But there’s nothing much that can be done about it.

    Like a terminal illness, Crowley treats the enormity of his emotions the best he can, distracting himself from the impossibility of having a life with Aziraphale with his favorite vice— having mindless, meaningless sex with any human that bears a resemblance to the angel.

    He feeds off fleeting desire (which can almost be mistaken for want). He survives off the attention of strangers (who can almost be mistaken for Aziraphale, in the dark). And he manages. It’s fine.

    Only it would be much finer is Aziraphale got off his ass about it. Or got off on his ass about it.

    Summary

    “I could help you, you know,” says Ed. “Like, the reinventing yourself bit. Or figuring it out.”

    Hope hops on its feet, attempting takeoff. “You would?”

    “‘Course I would, mate. You’re my best friend.”

    ----

    Recently divorced, Stede isn't sure where to start on the whole "getting himself out there" thing. Ed offers to help, so they write out a list of Stede’s goals. The only problem? They both may be just slightly in love with each other. They just don't know it yet.

    Crowley works for the city council and is responsible for issuing licences and permits.

    Aziraphale seems to be hoarding them.

    Summary

    Music critic Aziraphale Fell is trying to break into the world of television, when he is signed to make a documentary about former-rockstar-turned-composer Anthony Crowley. It’s been eleven years since Aziraphale’s disastrous review of Crowley’s debut opera nipped his classical music career in the bud. He can only hope that Crowley will get over his admittedly justified grudge to make the TV show a success.

    A classical music sex comedy. Yes, really.

    Summary

    Harrowhark Nonagesimus did not get worked up over strangers. She did not have a type. She did not take interest in dating, or “hooking up.” She did not want to lick the sweaty freckles on that woman’s cleavage, or sink her teeth possessively into the swell of her perfectly-formed biceps. She certainly did not get wet when that ginger-headed lunk smiled an offensively crooked smile and approved of her form by saying “atta girl.”

    Harrow chanted these affirmations in her head over and over in a desperate mantra, sweating like a sinner in church whenever those hot honey eyes stuck to her; but no matter how feverishly she prayed, God showed no mercy.

    -or-

    Harrow's down bad for the hunk that teaches her personal fitness course and it's ruining her life.

    Summary

    “And this is me,” he said, drawing to a halt in front of the portrait. It didn’t hurt to look upon, anymore. He’d never been so vain that he mourned his previous looks. But, it had been a nasty shock to realize he could no longer visit where he wished, dine as he so chose, be welcome at any public entertainment or meeting of minds. He missed being able to melt into the fray of humanity; just another person enjoying the fruits of human ingenuity and the joy of shared experience.

    “Oh, look at you,” Crowley said with damningly polite approval. “Cute, in a cherubic sort of way.” She looked over at him, obviously comparing, and Aziraphale met her scrutiny with a bland expression. “I like the horns,” she decided. “They add character.”

    “I’m so glad to meet with your approval,” he said dryly and shrugged. “They’re here to stay, at any rate.”

    OR

    In which Aziraphale isn’t quite Sleeping Beauty, and Crowley isn’t quite Cinderella, but their lives definitely collide because of some Beauty and the Beast nonsense.

    Summary

    "Aziraphale, please, I’ve loved you for eons,” Crowley reached out and grasped his hand. Instantly, intense fear from Aziraphale’s essence shot through Crowley and he staggered back with a gasp.

    Aziraphale was shaking his head roughly, stepping backwards, too. “Stop,” he said faintly, agony in his eyes. “I can’t give you what you want. I can’t do this, Crowley,” he lamented. His face hardened. “I won’t.
    ~~~
    After waiting for 6,000 years, panicked and feeling as if they've run out of time, Crowley confesses his love at the bandstand. Aziraphale rejects him anyway.

    Summary

    There are books missing from the library in the Abbey. A crime, Aziraphale suspects, that carries something much more serious underneath. He isn't expecting to deal with a demon summoned to kill him. He isn't expecting to find an ally in the oddest place.

    An ally, and something else.

     

    “Okay, so. The thing is,” Crowley starts, shifting again in his spot, “uh, someone wants you dead.”

     

    Aziraphale blinks. “Pardon?”

     

    “Didn’t you hear me? Someone wants you dead. As in deceased. As in six-feet-under. As in–”

     

    “Alright, alright! That’s quite alright, thank you,” Aziraphale chokes out. “I still don’t see–”

     

    Crowley heaves a sigh. “Listen, Angel.” He leans forward, elbows pressed against his knees, his hair falling around him like a curtain made of fire. He closes his eyes before continuing. “Truth is, someone summoned me to, er, to kill you, actually.”

    Summary

    Stede Bonnet is finally free of her dead-end marriage and is ready to start living the life she wants rather than the one that was picked out for her. That life is her seaside cottage with plenty of books and some peace and quiet, at least until her friend Lu barges in and tells her she's living like a grandma and needs to get herself out there. She's divorced, not dead.

    But when Stede tries dating apps to find someone who can show her the passion she never got from her husband, no one excites her. There isn't a single man who appeals to her at all, and it makes Stede think about a part of herself she has long since suppressed, and wonders if a man is what she wants at all.

    Summary

    Aziraphale's hand slides down past Crowley's hip to fist his cock in time with his thrusts, and he bites again, and again, down to Crowley's naked shoulder, up to his earlobe, not meaning to be sexy, just biting like he's eating, tasting the salt on Crowley's skin, like he might consume Crowley entirely if given enough time.

    "Talk to me," he gasps, between thrusts, between bites, his voice shaking.

    "No," Crowley grits out, just before he comes.
