    Summary

    Muriel has been reading, and has learned more about love in Aziraphale's bookshop than in six thousand years of Heaven.

    There's a professional right there on Whickber Street -- Muriel's learned what a "euphemism" is, and what a "seamstress" does. Now it's time to acquire a practical education, to really learn what it means to fit in on Earth.

    Summary

    There's a new shopkeeper on Whickber Street! The newcomer is a comic book seller named Anthony Crowley, a flamboyant character who blasts heavy metal music at full volume, and whose shop is a chaotic mess. Far too boisterous for Aziraphale's delicate nerves.
    Their two worlds will clash in the eternal battle between books and comic books. Aziraphale is determined to convert Crowley to the world of literature, a glaring gap in his life; Crowley, on the other hand, is set on broadening Aziraphale’s horizons by introducing him to the world of graphic novels. Will they manage to win each other over?

    Or:
    A fluff-filled fic with a shy and fidgety bookseller and an extroverted and rebel (a lil bit Pre-Fall coded) comic book seller. With Christmas cheer on the side. And basically it's also all an excuse to recommend lots of books and graphic novels to everyone.

    (✨ NOW COMPLETE ✨)
    About the Rating: 95% of the fic reads as M rated, but there’s one chapter with E rated smut in it (addressed in the opening notes of said chapter, and skippable) + another small bit (addressed as well).

    Summary

    The London Library is Dr. Aziraphale Fell’s cathedral of calm - the tea in the Member's Room, his notes in immaculate rows in the Reading Room, silence thick enough to hear the dust settle.

    But then a stranger dares to scrawl clever little messages in the margins of his favourite books. Outrageous! Inexcusable! And yet… somehow, utterly irresistible.

    Anthony Crowley loathes his job and rebels against the futility of life by scribbling wicked little asides in priceless London Library books, never expecting an answer.

    Until someone writes back. Someone insufferably prim, precise and ... fascinating.

    What begins as a literary battle of wits might just unfold into an adventure neither of them anticipated.

    Summary

    Retired librarian Aziraphale moves into a small, isolated cottage deep in the forest with a strange history. He soon realises he's not alone in the woods; a presence watches him. But as he begins to befriend the stranger that lurks in the trees, Aziraphale comes to understand there's more to him than appearances suggest - and Aziraphale's own destiny may be tied to the mysterious creature with the golden eyes.

    Summary

    Fresh off a bitter divorce, Aziraphale fabricates a perfect marriage to get hired at a wedding magazine—just a stepping stone on the way to his dream career. It's a foolproof plan, until he needs to produce said husband for the magazine's annual couples retreat.

    Enter Crowley, his best friend's mysterious cousin, who agrees, for his own reasons, to play fake husband for a week—no strings attached, no messy complications.

    One problem: the more Aziraphale discovers about the real man behind the act, the less fake his feelings become.

    Aziraphale thought the hardest part would be fooling everyone else…
