    Summary

    Crowley recovered from Covid well enough. Sure his eyes are still sensitive, the joint pain is lingering. But he can live with that. It's the fact he still can't smell or taste anything a year after getting better that's ruined his life. And none of his so-called friends stuck around for the pity party.

    Smell training doesn't work. He's been at it for months. So there's absolutely no reason to continue smell visualisation with this Aziraphale guy, is there? In retrospect, the Pavlovian erection situation probably isn't helping.

    ---
    A Human AU where Aziraphale helps Crowley regain his sense of smell after Covid-related anosmia.
    No angst or trauma, though Crowley is coping with long term effects of Covid (mild disability).

    Summary

    Aziraphale's family run the Gates of Eden evangelical mega-church in West London, preaching the prosperity gospel. As a gay man, Aziraphale must lead a Biblically Faithful life - he can't engage in "homo-eroticism". He goes along with his family as far as he can, until one day, he can't.

    In the library, Aziraphale meets Crowley: a barman from East London with a mysterious debt linked to a job he hates. They soon become the best of friends. In fact, they love each other. But as Aziraphale explains, there are four types of love. Does Crowley have to pick just one?

    A human AU where Aziraphale and Crowley love one another, save one another, and finally get a happy ending.

    Summary

    Anthony J Crowley, former face of Burberry, fashion editor of Hell Magazine, arbiter of cool, found himself perched at a small antique card table at the back of a cluttered bookshop, looking down at a tea pot and porcelain cups, milk jug and sugar bowl as if they were alien artefacts.

    Or

    Azir's family, of sound military stock, treated feelings a little like illnesses. They could be prevented, cured, but were certainly not to be shared.

    Or

    A human AU about what happens when a photoshoot in an atmospheric bookshop puts two men from different worlds together, and how long it takes them to bumble through the embarrassment of talking about Feelings (20+ chapters, it turns out).

    Summary

    Aziraphale Engel, black sheep of his strictly religious family, lives a quiet and monkish existence in the middle of London, trying to avoid the many temptations of the flesh and do his bit for the church that his father founded.

    But his quiet, untroubled, and unhappily narrow existence is about to come to an end, and he will be faced with the choice to give up even more of who he is or to survive in the real world.

    The fic is complete and will update weekly.
