Summary
Vernon figured Bender deserved some sort of thanks, even if he was looking more self-satisfied than he ought to. He managed a tight smile with his nod as that damn wind kicked back up again, as he shuddered at its bite through wool blazer and how much worse he imagined it was through that threadbare flannel.
"Are you walking home in that?"
Bender seemed almost afraid to answer. Or maybe even to go home, and maybe that was why he was still here.
"No, you're not. Get in."

Summary
Tales of friendship, love, reformation, and redemption from a contemporary take on The Sexy Brutale. More Gatsby than gameverse, playing fast and loose with some details to allow more freedom in worldbuilding. Focuses on glamor, optimism, risque banter, and well-earned contentment, with silver linings to be found in any creeping darkness. This is a world of hope where certain pivotal events are left unstated and need not ever come to pass.
Each work is meant to stand alone, with previously introduced characters and established relationships self-evident enough in context. Feel free to jump in wherever according to your interests, though I do encourage you to read back or ahead for more details of such as well.

Characterful, feel-good, short and sweet and well crafted - really, just a delight. My Gen X heart grew three sizes today.

Bang-on blend of humor and zany action impressively true to the characters' voices and tone of canon.

Summary
"All right, I know I'm going to regret asking this," Aziraphale says. "What exactly does this wager entail?"
Crowley grins like the cat that not only got the cream but has absconded with the entire cow. He grabs the bottle and swigs straight from it despite Aziraphale's tut of disapproval.
"The pot goes to whichever demon can get an angel into bed by the end of the evening."
AKA The Fic That Tumblr Made Me Write. Heaven and Hell share a corporate party once per millennium. This time someone's had the bright idea of issuing a challenge to the demons of Hell. Crowley has no intention of missing the opportunity; Aziraphale's just enough of a bastard to make him work for it.
