Summary
Edward Teach wants some towels. He logs in to the chat function on the Bounding Baths & Berths (BB&B) website to get some advice. But the customer service representative has perhaps a bit more to offer than thread counts...
The following is based on the below Tweet of an actual customer service interaction on [REDACTED]'s corporate website:
Q: Is the Feather Grey more grey or taupe? Picture looks tan/taupe.
A: Hi there Debra, thanks for reaching out to us! The Feather Grey color is a warm, lustrous grey similar to that which you would see on the feathers of a dove when lit by sunrise. We hope you’ll enjoy this stylish new collection as part of your ensemble, have a fabulous day from all of us at BB&B!

Summary
A modern alternate universe, where Edward Teach is the show runner on a successful long running muppets kid show, "Blackbeard’s Pirate Puppets, and Delicacies and Delights", which has become very commercial. Stede has always wanted to be a puppeteer, and builds his own felt muppets in secret from his family. Eventually he starts a public access show, "The Gentleman Pirate", that is surprisingly edgy for a kid's show.
Ed hears about this new pirate muppet show on the local public access channel, and asks Izzy, his producer, to check it out. After Izzy sees that it could end up competition for their own show, he plans to find a way to sabotage the upstart Stede Bonnet and his band of misfits.
Unfortunately for Izzy, though, Ed loves the show.

Summary
Nearly simultaneously, two thoughts had immediately crossed Aziraphale’s mind the moment their lips had touched.
First: This is mad. This is impossible. Or: this is only possible because Crowley believes that loathsome demon Ferngully (?) to have the photograph. A task he’d very nearly succeeded at, if not for Aziraphale. A task that Aziraphale had been excited to reveal, and now, in a tragic turn of events, it’s the very thing he needs to keep hidden if he wants to continue kissing Crowley.
Which leads him to his second realization: Crowley cannot, under any circumstances, discover the photograph.

Summary
Father Aziraphale Fell is a haunted priest who has kindled a tentative friendship with landscape designer and gardener Anthony Crowley, who has been tending to his church’s neglected gardens— and that friendship has been mingled with a growing desire and longing since they met.
When the tantalising gardener offhandedly mentions that his career isn’t exactly fruitful, Aziraphale offers to help him. Crowley, in response, jokingly mentions the concept of ‘sugaring’ to the priest, assuming he’d have no idea what he meant, but Aziraphale is full of many, many surprises.

Summary
“So, let me get this straight,” Crowley said, dragging that r a little for best effect. “Your librarian asks for an escort, and the first person you think of is me?”
When tabloid reporter Anthony Crowley gets roped into posing as the loving partner of their intern’s fussy librarian friend for an infernal wedding in the country, he has an inkling that he won’t come out of that little spot of bother unscathed. There is more to Aziraphale than meets the eye, and soon Crowley will discover that relationships are not for the faint of heart.

Imping: the process of replacing missing feathers with that of a donor.Aziraphale finally is the one to come to Crowley's aid. When he sees the damage done to the demon's wings, he begins to help without a passing thought, much to Crowley's disbelief. The demon's terror at the thought of Aziraphale coming to harm from the selfless act nearly stops him from accepting his help, but as soon as he feels the angel's touch on his wings, there was no possibility of stopping him.
Their relationship morphs and blossoms into so much more.Time Period: Early 1800's, after the bookshop has been opened. Multi chapter.

Summary
“My instructions…” He parted his mouth as he searched for a word. “Instruct that I just get right into it. You all have been brought here tonight because you have one thing in common: you’re all being blackmailed.”
A tense hush fell through the room.
“You’re all paying what you can afford - in some cases I’m sure more than you can afford - to prevent your secrets from being exposed. And none of you know who is currently blackmailing you.”
Gabriel scoffed. “This is ridiculous. I’m an upstanding member of the international finance community - what could I possibly have done to be blackmailed about?”
“You’re a member of the international finance community,” Crowley drawled.
