    Summary

    Decades after the world didn’t end, Heaven and Hell got their war — and nearly destroyed everything in the process.

    When Aziraphale finally manages to reacquire a corporation and return to Earth, he discovers he was gone longer than he thought and the planet has become unrecognizable. As he searches for Crowley and tries to figure out how he fits in a world that Heaven, Hell, and God have all wiped their hands of, nature works around him to reclaim the bones of an old civilization as the scraps of humanity build a new one.

     

    A lush and optimistic post-apocalypse story, told from the POV of an immortal who can't let go of the past.

    Summary

    This story is complete, I’ll update on Monday’s ;)

    Aziraphale thinks that all the abuse and trauma he endured in heaven is ‘love’. After being freed after the apocalypse, the angel is beyond happy. He wants nothing more than to spend eternity with Crowley but the demon is ready to put a name to their feelings. They both know that they care for each other deeply and when Crowley finally has the courage to put it in words (‘I love you’), it sends Aziraphale spiraling into believing Crowley will start treating him like heaven did.

    "We- we don't have to pretend anymore.” Crowley stuttered out, golden eyes looking frantically about the angel. His sunglasses were clutched tightly in the palm of his hand, “The apocalypse is over, it has been for years. Can't we- can't we say it now?" his voice wavered only slightly.

    "I don't love you, Crowley." Aziraphale emphasized each word to better help the demon understand. He had never truly loved something in all his years of existence, he didn’t think he was capable. To love another being — especially Crowley...

    "I could never love you."

    Summary

    ‘It’s just… funny. Don’t you think it would be funny, if it turned out we’d had it the wrong way round all these years? If I ate all the time, and you hardly ever?’

    Crowley discovers that Aziraphale has been strictly and obsessively limiting his food intake for millennia, due to fear of punishment from Heaven if he gets caught eating too regularly. The angel’s confident facade comes apart at the seams after they move to the South Downs, as he struggles to cope with new-found freedom while still keeping his past a secret.

    With the future of their relationship soon hanging in the balance, Crowley must find a way to convince Aziraphale that he is a safe pair of hands to collapse into – and that they can rebuild things from the ground up.

    Summary

    “There’s an enchanted castle West in the Hellian slopes, and apparently it comes with a prince looking for a bride or bridegroom to free him from a dark fae’s curse.”

    “I see,” Aziraphale says finally, when he realizes both Gabriel and Uriel are staring at him expectantly. “You want me to marry a beast?”

    Gabriel's mouth flattens. “I want you to take this gods’ blessed opportunity to secure your family’s future for good."

    OR

    Aziraphale is a professional quest hero who just wants to sit by the fire and read a book, if his overbearing family will ever let him; Crowley is a serpent demon who needs a gullible hero he can con into gathering some critical ingredients for a human corporation spell. Hijinks and a lot of terribly inconvenient feelings ensue.

    Summary

    "Could you pass me that chart please, darling?"
    Izzy rolls his eyes, both at the endearment and Bonnet's laziness- Edward is notably further from the maps than Stede- but he has a feeling neither of those things will bother Ed, lovelorn ponce he is.
    "Izzy? The chart, please?"
    Izzy freezes. His head snaps up in Bonnet's direction.
    "Fuckin' pardon?"

    or:
    5 (or so) times Stede is dating Izzy + 1 time Izzy (kinda) realizes [bc i’ll die on this trope, also implicitly pre-SteddyHands]
