Summary
This is the story of three adults to whom life hasn't always been kind, figuring out how to be kind, open, and sexy with each other.
My partner asked for a story in which Duncan and Jimmy bring a woman home together. I gave it waaay too much thought. It's Willow. I love her. I love her on the show and especially in the books, so I wove in her book life to the degree that it didn't contradict the show, then added a lil extra life.
It's set about a year after the end of season 5 and "A Fixed Point in the World". Our OTP have been happily cohabiting since then.
Chapter Ratings:
1-2 T
3-4 M
5 E!
6-7 MThe title is borrowed from Robert Fergusson's 1750 comic poem celebrating the period between Yule and the beginning of the New Year. Full text can be found at the end of the final chapter.

Summary
Another installment of how two newly-liberated ineffable beings spent their COVID year:
Doing good makes Aziraphale peppy, but it tires Crowley out! After a night of lockdown-related minor miracles, the angel reads religious poetry while the demon snoozes. Or is he just reading porn? In any case, Crowley wakes up, a little.
Please be in touch with your thoughts and feelings. Even if it's 2065. If the internet still exists and you're reading this, I wanna hear from you!

Summary
This is my version of the evening post-finale of Season 5, when Duncan shows Jimmy his 'mood board.'
“And am here tae tell you, Jimmy, you’re allowed tae want things that don’ make sense.”
Unrepentant sentimentality, talkin pish, heartfelt smut.

Summary
I read all the beautiful works in the Jimmy/Duncan tag in an embarrassingly short interval. And I thought I was going to write an angsty, windswept slow burn. But I couldn't stop thinking about elizajane's Wandering Home series, and specifically the following:
Duncan lets his eyes reverse the path of Jimmy's gaze, tracing down across Jimmy's kiss-stained lips, past the blooming hickey at the base of his throat, across the nipples that, yeah, Duncan definitely plans on seeing pierced, down the trail of pale blond hair of Jimmy's belly to the V of his open zip, the fullness there beneath thin cotton briefs.
And it turned out nothing else was getting written until Jimmy got his nipple pierced. So that's what this is. Thank you to elizajane and everybody who checks on/reads/writes this tag, it is a perfect gem of a fandom.
*edit* Just realized I also mixed in a reference to a plot point in elfin's excellent "Long, Winding Roads" series. Particularly:
‘I’m fine. I figured it couldn’t hurt more than being stabbed, and I was right.’ That's what happens when you read all the fic at once. They're great stories, ok?

Summary
As quarantine continues and time has gotten a bit wibbly-wobbly, Aziraphale and Crowley explore their feminine forms together, eat sweet treats, and say some things they should have said a long time ago.
I guess this is a series now. You could read this as a stand-alone, but it picks up more or less where "In The Republic of Negative Capability" leaves off.
And like In The Republic of Negative Capability, this are two chapters and a multimedia appendix. Unlike that story, both chapters are basically pure smut. Be advised.

Summary
"IPA," Robby called again, a reminder.
"For that, I'm getting you a Bavarian wheat beer, you prissy fuck." But Jack bypassed the respectable Penn Pilsner and grabbed a pack of their hopped-to-shit IPA, hating himself a little for giving in...but it would make Robby smile.
The door banged open, spinning Jack around, senses instantly on alert as a guy rushed in, black bandana tied around his face, pistol pointing at Sal as he shouted. "Open the register! Now!"

Summary
They aren’t his family, not in the traditional sense. But the idea that they might be, that they could be, unsettles him more than he wants to admit. It’s the same quiet dread that hit him when Collins said he had helped raise Amy. He doesn’t know why exactly. Maybe because imagining them as a family implies imagining him and Jack as something. And that’s just absurd, right?
Or: Robby has been a quiet constant in the lives of Abbot and his daughter, filling a space that was never clearly named. As they drift into their fifties, he begins to recognize that his feelings for Jack may have deepened into something real and perhaps impossible. Now he’s left wondering if this almost-family could ever truly be his.

Summary
Jack looked from the intern picture to Robby again, rubbing a tired hand over his eyes. "Jesus, this is like a recipe." He gestured between the picture and Robby, young and old. "It's like twink plus seasoning equals daddy. Fuck," he said, a kind of helpless note to it. Then he walked out, like he hadn't just dropped a bomb on Robby's head.
What did that mean?

Summary
The job offer came out of nowhere. Centennial Hospital, a level 1 trauma center in Colorado, wanted him to take over for their retiring chief attending. They'd heard the same rumors as everyone about PTMC—how it'd be taken over, transformed, the ED shut down. Didn't Jack want to get ahead of it and find himself a new gig, head of the department, master of his own fate? And the money, of course. Lots and lots of money.
Jack promptly told them to fuck off.

Summary
Robby sagged a little, another tiny rush of air out. Jack pretended not to notice any of it even as it slid through him, his hypothesis gaining evidence, firming in his mind.
No, Jack didn't think anyone ever touched Robby.
He was going to change that.
