    Summary

    One early spring morning Aziraphale and Crowley have coffee and tea in the garden while Aziraphale reminisces about some of the events that brought them to their happily ever after.

    The sun crests over the countryside now, winding its way through the boughs of the apple tree. The dewy spring breeze carries the scent of roses and lavender. New grass and wet earth mix with the aroma of the tea and coffee he holds. Trills and warbles and squeaks from thrushes, wrens and finches compose the morning chorus that heralds each day and the nightingale’s sweet song accompanies the night. From their bedroom, their terrace, their kitchen they hear its lilting voice. As they walk along the lane they know it is there–in the boughs of the apple tree, behind the curtain of the willows–out of sight, but never far.

    In the South Downs, the nightingale sings for them. In their cottage, it is quiet enough that they can finally hear it.

    Summary

    Aziraphale Z. Fell is a rising star of the spiritual literary genre - the next Eat Pray Love guy - and his version of Chicken Soup For the Christian Soul is flying off the shelves. It's not that he's not grateful, but it's one thing to enjoy a career in writing and another completely to be pigeonholed into a specific genre, so much so that you are almost forbidden from writing anything else.
    So yes, maybe he has a bit of a secret. An outlet for his less... appropriate urges. And yes, if his typical readership got word of the sort of paragraphs he could put out on a particularly inspired night, they might suffer some form of heart attack typical for their age.
    But all of that is well hidden, and there is absolutely no way anyone would ever find out about his Arrangement with A.J. Crowley - the most debaucherous romantic fiction author of the decade.
    That is... until they have to pretend to be married to each other.

    Summary

    As a result of his sheltered upbringing, Aziraphale made it to 50 without exploring his sexuality or coming out. After 50, all that changed - he's gay, he's out, and wants to find love. He also wants to have sex. He's a tad nervous about that. His friend Agnes suggests he consult a professional and get some no-strings practice and advice, and build some confidence. And her friend Tracy runs an agency…

    Crowley has quite the breadth of sexual experience: he’s a high class escort. He’s been in his line of work for a long time, though in this industry, that’s not exactly an advantage. He likes his work, but the more he’s reminded that he’s not as young as he once was, the more he contemplates his exit strategy. When his bookings manager and friend Tracy gives him a new, nervous client, Crowley finds him unexpectedly captivating. In fact, Crowley can’t seem to get him out of his head.

    A Smitten Crowley is also a very silly Crowley, so prepare for giggles and fluff along with your love story and smut...

    This fic is sex worker positive, disability positive, & a variety of genders and sexual preferences are referred to in back story.

    Summary

    Navigating the dating world when you can't see it can be tricky. For Crowley, that was never a problem; he's usually too busy to contemplate a relationship. The same goes for Aziraphale, though he doesn't have Crowley's excuse - he just isn't really all that much into people as a whole.

    One chance meeting on Crowley's usual route home changes all that.
