    This is such a sweet gem of a story. Love seeing an outsider's POV of Aziraphale.

    Summary

    A reverse-ish human AU where Ezra is an angel and Crowley is from the wrong side of town. But....

     

    >> What if..... Crowley was the one that wanted Ezra to take the Top Job?
    >> What if.... Ezra wanted them to run away together?
    >> What if..... Crowley was the one who said "I don't even like you" and "we don't know each other"?

    Or: Crowley fell in love with Ezra Teachdaire when they were 15. But no one could ever know. Especially not Ezra. 15 years later, they're still hooking up, and Ezra might suspect something.

    This splendid story reverses some actions and lines to get at the truth central to the romance between our favorite pair. It's like nothing else and I'm so glad I read it.

    Summary

    Aziraphale and Crowley meet on the day of Aziraphale's first-ever therapy appointment. Their unexpected connection has the promise of blossoming into a kind of friendship neither of the two has ever experienced.

    They have a lot of growing to do: Aziraphale’s sense of self-worth is as non-existent as his healthy work-life balance, while Crowley is so agoraphobic that the mere thought of going to the supermarket round the corner gives him clammy hands. And he hates clammy hands.

    It’s not going to be easy and it's definitely not always fun, but it very much helps to have a friend who will say comforting things—or challenge you to a friendly competition to try and get a free lunch out of you.

    [Or: Basically a QPR slow burn with lots of mental health stuff, fluff, and, for some inexplicable reason, references to the film Ice Age]

    A beautiful love story that makes the reader love the characters as much as the writer obviously does.

    Summary

    Aziraphale sits alone watching the sun set over the sea through a window of a small beach café - wishing he had bought something other than a romantic novel with him on his trip.

    It’s playing merry havoc with his feelings for Crowley.

    Oh, and never leave anything lying on a table you don't want someone else to see.

    A short, cute fic about a moment of harmless fantasy.

    If it makes me feel something, I bookmark it. This short but sweet story was just lovely--tender and emotional.

    Summary

    Aziraphale didn't believe in reiki, or healing energies, or crystals, despite the thinly veiled implications and upsell offerings of this particular spa. But he believed in love. He believed in loving the people around him, and he believed in channeling that care into his work.
