    Summary

    Anthony runs The Serpent’s Spine, a radical bookshop tucked into a corner of Dalston—a haven for anarchists, queer kids, and anyone who still believes in fighting back. Locals call him “the Serpent of Dalston”: sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and just dangerous enough to be left alone.

    Ezra paints in the quiet hours of the night under the name “Aziraphale”—an anonymous street artist known for breathtaking murals of angels and half-remembered Edens. His work has gone viral more than once, but no one knows his face. He plans to keep it that way.

    One speaks in sharp truths, the other in silence and brushstrokes. Neither of them is looking for connection—but their two worlds collide when Ezra enters The Serpent’s Spine looking for books about art.

    A story about resistance, hidden identities, and falling in love in a world that keeps trying to tear you apart.

    Summary

    The webpage loaded. Aziraphale absolutely did not spit his tea all over his keyboard, but it was a close-run thing.
    The man on the page was beautiful. Ethereal even. Flaming red hair that surely couldn't be natural and golden honey-coloured eyes that made Aziraphale wonder if he was wearing contact lenses to alter the colour. His cheekbones were rather lovely and the wicked smile he was giving to the camera was a sharp counterpoint to the warmth in his eyes.

    Aziraphale has to attend a family wedding and he may have told a bit of a white lie. Of course he doesn't actually have a boyfriend. So now he needs to find one in the next six months, and in despair he turns to an escort agency for help.

    As for Crowley? Well, "Crowley usually only ordered dessert if he really felt it was expected of him. But tonight he ordered dessert because Aziraphale was debating between two different choices and Crowley had said he was thinking of ordering one of them simply so that Aziraphale could choose the other and try some of his."

    Crowley thinks he might be in trouble.

    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.

    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.

    Summary

    [Fanart now added to the end of the story!]
    __________

    It doesn't take long for Aziraphale to realise that the Metatrons offer was a trap — but unfortunately it's already too late. He's held captive in heaven and asked about Crowley’s whereabouts. And heaven isn't afraid to use extreme measures to get him to talk…

    In attempt to protect Crowley, Aziraphale lets him know not to come to his rescue. But Crowley was never one to take orders.

    When they finally meet again, Crowley seems distanced. And all Aziraphale can hope for is that it's not too late to fix things between them…

    Summary

    “I could be, you know,” Crowley spoke up, gently, breaking the contemplative silence of the room.

    “Hmm?” Aziraphale rubbed at a particularly stubborn fingerprint on the cover of his book, using the moment to distract himself from the sudden increase in the tempo of his heartbeat. “Could be what, dear boy?”

    “Your Anthony.”

    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.

    When rising star AJ Crowley finds himself in a little spot of trouble on the set of his new action movie, he is lucky enough to bump into a literal angel who infuses him with some much needed courage in a rather unconventional way.

    Will they be brave enough to cross the invisible boundary still standing between them? Or will they let the fear of losing each other get in their way?
    Idiocy predictably abounds, but luckily so does the love.
