    Summary

    Matt’s most life-changing moments have always been made up of helplessness.

    It’s become ingrained in him, shaped him, molded him, and Matt will do anything in his power to never feel that sense of helplessness again. To make sure no one else ever does either. Even if fighting against that feeling of helplessness, is what will destroy him in the end.

    Summary

    Matt and Sister Maggie talk in the Lord’s stomach.
    The basement walls of the Church echo and ache. Water drips unevenly from the sink, still faintly smelling of blood and mucus. Matt’s feet throb from standing and the cool night air slips in through cracks in the brick.
    Sister Maggie’s pulse thrums steadily. Her voice does not waver.
    “Can you be trusted to be back on your own?”

     

    Or, Matt in the aftermath.

    Summary

    Beelzebub assigns a sleep paralysis job to Crowley. Unfortunately, the victim they have chosen does not sleep, is an angel, and could not be less scared of a demon he's known for 6000 years.
    Even more unfortunately, the Lord of Hell does not care for excuses. Crowley has five nights to fulfill the assignment... or else.

    Or: Five times Crowley failed as Aziraphale's sleep paralysis demon and one time he didn't.

    Summary

    There is this trick that Matt uses. If he concentrates hard enough, he can always find a telltale sign that the person speaking to him isn't really there.

    Well, besides the obvious fact that most of the voices talking in his head belong to people who are already dead.

    The system he has in place works. It keeps his friends from worrying. It keeps him from going mad.

    The system works.

    Right up until it doesn't

    Summary

    Aziraphale didn't make it to Tadfield on time, the Apocalypse broke out, and Heaven won. Now, the freshly-promoted Archivist struggles to find purpose in a kingdom too eager to forget the cost of victory. His miracle budget is meager. The Archive's books are insipid. And the ghosts of his past are not content to stay out of sight and out of mind...

    Standalone story featuring Jesus Christ Superstar, J.S. Bach, and an angel who augments his private collection of Bible fanfiction apocrypha with petty theft and dumpster diving.

    -

    Approximately canon-compliant through to Season 2, apart from being AU.

    Summary

    When humans need sanctuary, they go to holy places. But Aziraphale isn’t human. He has the next best thing, though: Crowley’s Bentley.

    Reformatted because the footnotes were really bugging me...

    Summary

    Being a demon with an imagination has always served Crowley well. For Aziraphale, being an angel with an imagination has done quite the opposite.

    Or;

    Crowley's plants might be scared of him, but they are Utterly Terrified of Aziraphale.

    They had swapped back on Sunday afternoon; by Monday night, Aziraphale was confused as to why Crowley hadn't left his side since. Even more troubling, Aziraphale found that he didn't want him to.

    Summary

    The nightmare began when Crowley woke up in Hell.

    To most people that would seem like an expected place for a nightmare to start, but to Crowley, even with all its various trappings, Hell was mostly just a place.

    “We have a new assignment for you, Crowley,” Beelzebub says. There’s an ominous hum in their voice. For the first time in many eons it sends a shiver down Crowley’s spine. “Directly from the top. We think you’ll find it interezzzting.”

    Beelzebub snaps and then they’re gone.

    In their place is an angel. Not just any angel.

    In their place is Aziraphale.

    Summary

    “Of course, I’m in a rush,” Aziraphale said from beside Crowley. “There are people on Atlantis. Still! Right this minute!”

    Crowley squawked and whirled around; Aziraphale shot him an unimpressed look and straightened his coat. “Honestly. I said I’d be over in a minute.”

    Crowley scowled. “I thought you’d drive.” It was just then that what Aziraphale had said sunk in. “There are?”
     

    Or: Crowley and Aziraphale are supposed to go down to Atlantis to sort things out after Armageddon, but they get sidetracked, largely because they’re too busy pining to be at all competent.

    Summary

    He could not recall how much time had passed between the invention of the book and himself owning a lot of books. He had simply woken up one day surrounded by them, as if he always had been.

    Crowley had been the first one to point it out. He always was.

    Except this time, he had not so much pointed it out as tripped over a pile of them, shouting ”FUCK, Angel, what's the DEAL with all these bloody BOOKS?”

    Aziraphale had tutted, put a drink in his hand and miracled up a sofa behind him without answering the question. The sofa was still there. Surrounded by piles and piles of books.

    ------

    After Crowley leaves, Aziraphale needs a change.

    He sorts through his books, makes new friends (or tries to), and discovers the beauty of ansaphones.

    Summary

    Crowley had always known he wasn’t nice. Nice was a four letter word, and its definition was not one he could fit into. He could twist words and attempt to change all he liked, and he would never find his way into that box.

    So he learned to escape it. To flee and turn to nature, backpacking. It was a freedom unlike any other. It was a short but infinite moment where the fresh, breezy air seemed to blow it all away– that was until Aziraphale appeared. Then everything started to go rather downhill.

    OR

    Crowley misses his bus home after bumping into Aziraphale, leaving the two of them isolated together in a remote hamlet. Running low on supplies (and time, if Crowley wishes to return to work in time to not be fired) the two of them must work out their differences in order to find a way home.

    Summary

    Ever since Aziraphale learned what Crowley’s lips felt like against his own, he’s been trying to figure out whether it was just that kiss he didn’t enjoy—or whether he simply doesn’t understand the appeal of kissing at all.
    And if it’s the latter, however is he supposed to tell Crowley he might not be the right person for that one fabulous kiss? Especially when all Aziraphale wants is for Crowley to understand just how deeply he loves him.

    Summary

    It’s one thing to agree to run away with a charming English bookseller, and quite another to actually do it. Especially when A. J. Crowley has to worry about transatlantic tickets and international exchange rates and unpleasant memories of days gone by, and especially when it turns out that not everyone in London is very keen on his being there.
