Summary
“Shall I dance?”
(A million sunsets back, their hands laced, circling each other, hair lit by chandeliers and candles. Close, but not close enough. Spinning and shuffling, cards in a tarot deck. The lovers right side up.)
“Crowley?” Aziraphale hedges after a while. The demon’s mouth only makes a vague, noncommittal mumble. Caught in a dream. When Aziraphale steps back, presumably to give himself space to curtsy, Crowley’s hand clutches Aziraphale’s arm of its own volition.
“Don’t go far,” Crowley says. It comes out a humiliating, honest beg. “Just… just stand next to me. For a moment. If you can.”
Aziraphale nods. “I can. I will.”
“Will you?”
...
Alternatively, Crowley breaks. Aziraphale won't let him. Breakfast at the Ritz, anyone?

Summary
It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.
No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.
“What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”
-----------------
Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.
(Update: now featuring a cover by the wonderful @ineffableclassics!)

Summary
Aziraphale, it turns out, is very difficult to break up with.

Summary
Take, for instance, the couple she’s consulting with this afternoon, for their upcoming October ceremony. Seemingly mismatched in every respect. The plump, fair-haired one looks like a parody of an absent-minded professor, as sketched by someone who didn’t bother to do much actual research; his clothes are so outdated it teeters on costume. He’s wearing a bow tie, and not in that reinvented hipster way. This is a bow tie unacquainted with the cycles of fashion, a bow tie that has never heard the word irony.
His partner is a rangy, black-clad ginger in snakeskin boots. He has the look of a hungover rocker about him, and would somehow, even without the sunglasses he has fully committed to wearing indoors on a cloudy afternoon. He’s sprawled almost defiantly in his chair and keeps throwing dubious glances around Dr. Blackwell’s office, as though expecting a lightning bolt to strike him down for merely daring to be within spitting distance of a church.

Summary
While Crowley set about getting drunk, Aziraphale’s eyes drifted over to the newly-engaged couple, now embracing. The woman dabbed at her tears with a napkin and the man watched her, utterly smitten despite her smudged eyeliner. Crowley followed Aziraphale’s line of sight just in time to see the man kiss the woman.
Crowley wrinkled his nose. “‘s a weird custom, isn’t it?”
“Hm?”
“The whole—” Crowley gestured at the couple, “—kissing business. It’s a bit weird, isn’t it?”
Aziraphale frowned. “I don’t know about that.”
Crowley was feeling a little tipsy and a lot philosophical—narrowly averting the apocalypse will do that to a demon—and decided to press the point.
“Like, what is it about mouths that makes it so nice? Mouths are weird. Humans don’t even have forked tongues. They can’t even do anything fun.”
He looked at Aziraphale. Aziraphale looked back, his cheeks faintly pink.
Or: Five times Crowley thinks about kissing, and one time he thinks about kissing Aziraphale.
