    Summary

    They met at Ana and Newt’s pre-wedding party. Aziraphale remembers being absolutely stunned by Crowley’s good looks—and mortified by his coarse language. That only lasted until they began a hilarious (and frankly unhinged) conversation about the intelligence of dolphins and whales, and something about the kraken, if memory serves.From that moment on, they have been nearly inseparable.

    That was five years ago. These days, Aziraphale frequently slips onto a bar stool and keeps Crowley company for a few hours while he works a slow shift at an upscale Mayfair pub, and Crowley spends many a lazy day lounging in Aziraphale’s bookshop in Soho.

    But there’s nothing more to it than that. Because Aziraphale and Crowley are merely friends. They’ve never been more than friends. They never will be.

    Of course not.

    Summary

    There's a new man in the neighbourhood, one with wavy auburn hair that flows to the middle of his back. Lithe and lean, he is a vision, and Aziraphale can't stop watching him as he walks the pavement, going in and out of the local bawdy house.

    Summary

    Aziraphale lost his best friend when they were sixteen, and it had been like losing his own heart. After twenty years, he’s moved on, but he’s never given up on finding her. When a stranger sits down beside him at a pub and calls him “angel,” it triggers memories he thought were long buried… and maybe the second chance he never thought he’d get.

    Summary

    Shane had started learning Russian for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. He grew up learning English and Japanese, and he soon learned French. It was only practical due to Ottawa’s proximity to Québec. He was already trilingual, and it had seemed only logical that if he was going to visit Russia, he should be able to at least say hello, goodbye, and ask where to find the restroom.

    And if it meant he could understand what Ilya was saying when they were having sex? All the better. He always meant to tell him. It's just... there was never a good time.

    Now, more than two decades later, Crowley hears a familiar sultry voice reading some of the filthiest smut he's ever heard, and he wonders if he might have a second chance with the angel who got away.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley is 40 years old and down on his luck. In the past few years he’s lost his job as a journalist, his boyfriend, his flat, and most of his self-respect. When he hears about the chance to nanny a three-year-old boy, it looks like the opportunity he’s been waiting for to turn his life around.

    At 57, bookshop owner Aziraphale Fell has resigned himself to his perpetual bachelorhood. Still, each year, he looks forward to dressing up in his vintage Father Christmas suit and turning his bookshop annex into a holiday wonderland.

    When Crowley and his young charge, Adam, attend Father Christmas’s Magical Bookshop, it’s clear the two men are attracted to one another. Over the course of the next year they become friends, important to one another in every way. The question is, can they face their fears and admit that they have fallen quite deeply in love?

    Summary

    Crowley has left a string of broken hearts in his dating wake, and his best friend, Aziraphale, has had it. Crowley claims it’s not his fault, and swears he doesn’t lead anyone on. It isn’t as if he is promising them anything, he’s just taking them on dates.

    Aziraphale points out that the two of them have been friends for years, and yet he isn’t in love with Crowley, but Crowley insists that if they were dating that might change. So they make a bet—Crowley will romance Aziraphale for two weeks so he can see what it’s like to be the object of Crowley’s affection. It will give Aziraphale a chance to figure out why everyone falls in love with the man.

    They’ve known each other for years. Nobody’s worried about falling in love.

    Maybe they should be.

    Summary

    Pepper had just walked in the front door for her day shift. Hadn’t even taken off her coat, much less gotten a cup of coffee, when Brian stopped her.

    “Hey, got a minute?” Brian looked… tense.

    “Sure, Bri. What’s up?”

    “Remember a while ago when you asked me to keep an eye on Crowley and Aziraphale? To let you know if anything seemed amiss?”

    “That ship’s sailed,” Pepper replied. “I’m sure I misunderstood. That’s what I get for eavesdropping.”

    “Well…” Brian said uncertainly. “I’m not so sure.”

    “Oh, good lord. What’s happened now?” Pepper sat down wearily behind the reception desk and put her head in her hands.

    Summary

    As an up-and-coming post doc, marine biologist Anthony J. Crowley landed a coveted grant from The Eastgate Conservancy to study the lives of endangered sea turtles. When the Conservancy accused him of misappropriation of funds, his research was halted. He’s carried a grudge for the past twenty-five years.

    Now an award-winning researcher with a worldwide YouTube following, Dr Crowley has been offered another grant from the Conservancy to replicate his original study. There’s just one catch—Aziraphale Eastgate, a member of the Conservancy board, will be traveling on the Sea Serpent as an observer for the duration of the project.

    Confined on the ship with documentary cameras capturing their every move, Crowley and Aziraphale can’t avoid each other—or the chemistry simmering between them. What begins as daily sparring over data and methods slowly softens into mutual respect, and then develops into something deeper—and far more dangerous.

    Summary

    “Angel, what’re you up to?” Crowley growled. But there was no heat in it, and Aziraphale could hear the smile on his face. Crowley turned over into his arms and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. “Good morning.”

    “Good morning, my darling.” Aziraphale pulled Crowley close and, feeling his hardness between them, rolled his hips.

    “Insatiable, that’s what you are,” Crowley teased. “What did you do all those millions of years before you found me?”

    Or, Aziraphale thinks about all his lonely years and worries if his time with Crowley might be coming to an end.

    Summary

    When Aziraphale arrives at the hospital, Crowley seems fine. He waves him over to the side of his bed, a smile on his face. He gives him a kiss. He calls him “angel.” It’s perfect. It’s everything Aziraphale’s ever dreamed of. But it’s not right.

    What the actual fuck is going on?

    A reverse trope romance in which having amnesia leads to a second chance. It’s especially sweet when you never thought you had a chance in the first place.
