    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.

     

     

    Title is a line from Arctic Monkeys, I Wanna Be Yours: "Secrets I have held in my heart... are harder to hide than I thought"

    Summary

    After his advice to Muriel, his 10-year-old daughter, to fight back with a punch disastrously backfires, Crowley uproots their life in Edinburgh and moves to London for a fresh start. Crowley takes her to their library’s book reading, where she hopes to find a friend that shares her love of books. The stars grant nebulous wishes as Muriel makes a new friend and Crowley finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the gentle librarian, Aziraphale Phillips. Like the 3 stars of Alpha Centauri, the 3 of them find themselves in a synchronized orbit with one another, their lives beginning to revolve around each other. Crowley helps Aziraphale with his struggles with insomnia, Aziraphale helps Crowley with caretaking, and Muriel attempts to help them realize their feelings.

    Muriel: “Do ducks have a bit of the stars in them too? If they do, I think they shine best in their funny beaks or their waddling cross feet.”

    Aziraphale: “So, in short, your dad was agreeing that stars are more like people in that way. Some are related, and some are not.”

    Crowley: “There’s a little bit of you scattered across the universe staring right back at you everytime you look at the stars.” Reach for the stars and you’ll find home.

    Summary

    Love through the Ages.

    It sounds so simple, doesn’t it?

    For six thousand years, Aziraphale and Crowley have walked the Earth - bickering, bantering, circling each other like twin stars caught in orbit. Heaven and Hell gave them orders. Humanity gave them stories.

    This is a chronicle of the love they witnessed and the love they learned. Told in glimpses and echoes, in stolen glances and almost-touching hands.

    From Adam and Eve to Oscar Wilde’s last embrace and beyond, they drift through the cracks of time, watching humans dare, fight, suffer, and shine - for that elusive thing neither of them dares name.

    Some loves end in tragedy. Some survive exile, silence, war, fire. And some - rare, impossible - end in sunlight.

    This is not just a love story.

    It’s all of them.

    It’s theirs.

Crowley, who’s eager for a second chance in the world of academia, wants nothing more than to keep his nose clean and work on his research projects.
