Our Souls Are Meant To Shine by BlackUnicorn

Summary
The thought occurred to him, as so many great thoughts did, in the shower.
It was quite strange. He had always assumed that such discoveries would come in the form of great revelations at pivotal moments in life, accompanied by appropriate background music and, perhaps, a well-choreographed song and dance if life was feeling fancy. Assumed that it would be part of a greater narrative which would inevitably lead to some sort of conclusion. A satisfying ending to a story arch.
But there was no music, no song, no dancing, no greater narrative. Just a regular shower on a regular Monday as he got ready to open the bookshop for the day.
Life wasn't a story, after all, and as the water poured down on him and the hot steam fogged up the mirror above the sink, he realised, with no warning or preamble, that he was, in fact, a he.
Oh.
It was a patient thought. Calm. It sat in his mind, quite still and almost unobtrusive, if it wasn't for its persistence, its alien shape and nature, its gentle pulsing like a beating heart. It was impossible to ignore. And the thing was, he didn't want to ignore it.

nature is healing (or something like that, anyhow) by nightbloomingcereus

Summary
Well. If Aziraphale could be stubborn, so could Crowley. He didn’t need Aziraphale, or his bookshop, dammit. He was going to take a nap, exactly like he’d said he would, and he wasn’t going to get up again until the world, and a certain frustrating angel, stopped being such a downer.
It was the perfect plan.
Or it would have been, had he still had his bloody bed in his bloody flat in bloody fucking Mayfair.
Or, the one where Crowley takes his three-year-long pandemic nap in his plant-filled Bentley.
(inspired by official season 2 promo, but spoiler free)

Summary
Maybe if it was a good kiss, Aziraphale thinks halfway through the minutes of a meeting that happened two centuries ago, it would be more easily forgotten. Maybe because it was so bad, so sad, it became less forgettable. Like a sentence half said. If he could get the whole sentence, perhaps it might settle in his mind like the rest of his memories and fade gently in time.
Or: Aziraphale can't stop thinking about the kiss and decides to remedy this in the worst possible way.

Summary
Anthony Crowley is a workaholic who left London 25 years ago and never looked back.
Until he - somehow - finds himself as the new middle-aged bachelor in a dating show that he doesn’t really have any interest in taking part in.
For one, there’s the problem of the female suitors - not great for a man who’s always gravitated more towards men.
And then there’s the adorable, white-haired man who’s supposed to be his handler, but who makes him feel more than any of the women combined …

Summary
Crowley had ended up doing himself a favor by so quickly pulling together his initial plan to sneak into the estate as a snake, because now it meant he had a little bit more time to play with before Lucifer and the gang got impatient. Still, he didn't have forever to get his assignment done. He needed to build trust between himself and the guardian fast and efficiently if he wanted the addendum to his plan to work. And that meant love bombing.
OR
Crowley's a mage-thief tasked with stealing a Powerful Artifact from some rich arsehole’s walled estate, and the first obstacle is getting past the fearsome beasts guarding the only viable entrances. Luckily, the guardian of the eastern gate seems like a soft touch, and Crowley is very good at shapeshifting, so he's pretty sure he's found his poor bastard of a mark. Things do not go according to plan.

Summary
Aziraphale Fell, BAFTA-winning actor of stage and screen, is bored. Bored of playing middle-aged divorcees in dull BBC dramas. Bored of answering the same questions on chat shows and breakfast television. Bored of keeping the real him hidden away.
So when the opportunity presents itself to collaborate with up-and-coming rock band Witching Hour, he takes it, against his own common sense and the condescending advice of his agent. Witching Hour’s mysterious guitarist Crowley, flame-haired, moody, and a good fifteen years his junior, certainly seems worth the risk.A human actor/rock star AU.

Postcards From Paris by ghostrat

Summary
Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?
---
It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.
He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.

Summary
But Sam is looking at him with lidded eyes and a soft little smile on his lips. It feels private. Like a smile that’s been saved just for him, out of all the people in the world Sam could smile at like that. Feels like that moment in the bar when their eyes met and it was just the two of them, like the rest of the world fell away and Sam was the only thing that mattered. And it’s – Bucky should be terrified. Probably is terrified, if he stops and thinks about it. But it’s just Sam. Just the person Bucky cares about most in the world.
Sam’s gaze flickers down. It takes Bucky a second to realize – oh, he’s staring at my lips – and then a dizzying rush of heat floods through him. Makes him feel alive in a way he hasn’t felt in so long. Makes him want to lean in, to see what Sam tastes like, how soft his lips are. Wants to see what noise he’d make if Bucky just - just surprised him and leaned forward and –
He’s leaning forward. Closing the distance between them. So slowly, achingly slowly, but it’s –
He can’t. He just –
Can’t.
(Not yet, at least. Not until he works up the courage. But he tells himself that for now it's enough, just being next to him, just being his friend.)
