    Summary

    Everything's gone but the bookshop. Satan's just appeared.

    Except... everything's not gone. Quite. Nor everyone.

    A fix-it inspired by a lovely comment from siriogold on my Tumblr rant over whatever that was.

    Summary

    “Did she . . . I mean, did the Almighty just declare us gods?
    Ngk.” Crowley shook his head, showing his teeth in mild disgust. “I don’t—I mean, I don’t want to be a god, but—“
    “I think she just declared us gods, Crowley."


    A version of the ending where God does indeed create a new, godless universe, only our universe still remains standing, and God is officially done with it. Now it's up to Aziraphale and Crowley to pick up the pieces, and fill the books in the bookshop with the right words to restore their world to how it used to be. (With a few love confessions, proper apologies and dances along the way, as well as improvements to, finally, make the world a better place.)

    Summary

    Crowley waits for Aziraphale to come back to the bookshop, which is the entirety of the only universe where they can be fully themselves and have all their memories. No matter how many times they leave, they always meet there again.

    Summary

    “Why…” the angel started shakily. “Why give me Crowley? Why make me complete... and then take it away?”

    From his chair, Crowley made a sound that could only be described as “Ngk.”

    In her own chair, God sighed.

    "Aziraphale,” She said, something akin to sorrow passing over Her face. “The only thing I ever gave you, any of you, was the will to choose. I didn’t give you Crowley. I couldn’t! He’s not mine to give or take. No, dear, Crowley gave himself to you. And that’s the beauty of it all, isn’t it? The beauty of life. Of living. That despite it all, you get to choose.”

    “And you’re not… angry? That I chose Crowley too?”

    At this, God laughed.

    “Not in the slightest. Your love for each other... is as messy, silly, and predictable as the universe itself. And it’s always made me smile. How could I ever be angry at that?”

    “Oh,” said Aziraphale.

    “Erm,” followed Crowley, eloquently.

    Summary

    Crowley sat back on his heels and looked across the garden at Aziraphale. His pretty angel was settled on one of their benches with a book. One lovely plump hand cradled the book, the dimples of his knuckles like soft, warm, hollows of shade. The other turned pages steadily, the freckles left by Crowley's kisses (just because they were called angel kisses didn't mean that it didn't work the other way around too) glowing golden in the late afternoon sunlight.

    Summary

    “You… you’re writing romances.”

    “Yes.”

    “As in love stories. Stories… about love.”

    “That is what’s generally understood as a romance, yes.”

    “Right. Right, right, right.” Crowley purses his lips, making an undefinable sound in his throat. Aziraphale really wishes he could see his eyes. "What, uh. What's brought this on, then?"

    Aziraphale starts writing romances. They are all about Crowley. (He is not aware of this fact.) Crowley, who is incidentally getting into novels for the first time, is about to have an aneurysm.

    Summary

    “It’s going to snow today,” Crowley announces.

    He doesn’t move as bare feet pad across the hardwood floor. It’s not until Aziraphale rests his chin on Crowley’s shoulder that he finally moves, sighing out some of the tension that’s been plaguing him since he dragged himself out of bed half an hour ago.

    “I’ll help you in the garden,” Aziraphale murmurs, so softly next to Crowley’s ear. “I know you still have some plants you need to get under covers.”

    Crowley hears the offer for what it is: love. Plain and simple love. The kind he’s still surprised to receive, day after day, from the most beautiful angel in the entire universe. But it’s – he’s been working on it, on accepting Aziraphale’s love for the uncomplicated, unconditional thing that it is, and so he turns his head to the side. Presses his lips to the soft, warm skin of Aziraphale’s neck, just above the rumpled collar of his silk pajamas. And he thinks, just for a moment, maybe it’s okay to let him take care of me today.

     

    (The first frost of the year always makes Crowley lethargic and his head fuzzy. Aziraphale helps him cope, and the two of them revel in the love of their new life together.)

    Summary

    “All that may be – be the case, but Crowley. Crowley. You’re forgetting something impro…inna…big.”
    “Wassat?”
    “You,” Aziraphale stated, “don’t get paid.”
    Crowley let this sink in. “Those fuckers!”

    Summary

    Aziraphale did not want to head home for Christmas. Spending the entirety of the holidays with his Mother and siblings seemed, if you asked him, like a special version of Hell carved out just for him. Making up a boyfriend that he was spending the season with seemed like a perfect excuse (and no, he wasn't going to think too hard about why he had provided Crowley's name), until his Mother had insisted they should both come.

    "It'd be great to meet him!"

    Aziraphale had no idea how he was going to explain this to the coffee shop owner he'd had a crush on for the last two years, much less convince him to take part, but he was about to find out.

    or

    It's Christmas time, and our ineffable idiots are faking a relationship while definitely not being totally, completely head over heels for each other.

    Summary

    Aziraphale’s been appearing in Crowley’s dreams since he left. But that’s not so unusual. Or is it?
    Aziraphale’s gone missing. So has the Book of Life. Maybe Crowley's dreams are the key to it all.

    The dreams are an escape for awhile. In the dreams, they go to the Ritz, to the coffee shop, they go for walks in St. James Park. They spend endless hours in the bookshop. Crowley almost forgets what’s happened…but a part of his brain is always aware that it’s not real, so he’s bold, reaches out more - an arm along the back of the couch, his knee bumping into Aziraphale’s on the top of a bus. Aziraphale presses back, firm and so warm. Crowley wants to curl up there and stay forever.

    Summary

    The events of an entirely ordinary day for one particular police station in London towards the beginning of summer in 2019.

    ~ ~ ~

    Lonnie Clarke was talking to a lunatic.

    To be fair, that wasn’t really unusual. It was a standard part of police work.

    This particular lunatic was a special sort of insane, though. Crazy like a fox, this Mr. Fell. Or, just absurdly lucky.

    Clarke was just finishing up with him — confirming his contact information, thanking him for his time, and so on — when an entirely different and more familiar lunatic came swaggering in with their hands cuffed in front of them. “OI! Who sent a rookie to pick me up all by herself? That’s hazing, ‘s what that is. Thought you lot were above all that.”

    Ladies and gentlemen, A.J. Crowley was in the building.

    Summary

    After averting the apocalypse, Crowley is living in his car with a lot of free time on his hands. He posts a YouTube video talking about plants as a joke but finds internet famedom where a punchline should be. Being a YouTube botanist agrees with him, though. He likes talking about plants, and he usually doesn’t find many opportunities to do that outside of YouTube. So, Crowley adopts traveling the world in search of plants to film as a new hobby.

    Kept in the dark about this new hobby, Aziraphale, who is used to being Crowley’s sole object of attention and is unused to having to compete with anything for Crowley’s time, is curious about where Crowley goes when he’s not in London.

    Summary

    Aziraphale is like the sea, endlessly and unfathomably beautiful. Crowley knows he is loved. His angel loves everything. Selfishly, though, he dreams of his utter adoration being returned. Hope grows like bougainvillea. It just needs a bit of salt air to bloom.

    Summary

    Crowley meets his gaze over the top of his glasses again. His grin is as sardonic as ever, but his eyes are creased fondly at the corners. “It starts tonight, angel. I could sort it all out for you, if you want?”

    “Would you?” Aziraphale smiles broadly. Warmth spreads from his stomach into his chest, bright and sparkling, as Crowley nods without hesitation. “That would be wonderful of you, my dear. You know what I’m like with new-fangled technology.”

    “New-fangled?” Crowley sighs, seemingly long-suffering, but amusement lurks behind it. “The telly is approaching being a century old at this point, you know. Look, leave it all to me, all right? I’ll pop round tonight.”

    “Oh, thank you, Crowley!”

    “No problem. Why don’t I bring some wine with me? We can have a night in.”

    Summary

    Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?

    ---

    It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.

    He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.

    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.
