    Summary

    2095. Britain is a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by droughts, the collapse of civilisation, and hordes of the undead. Despite that, Aziraphale’s life is actually pretty good. He has his caravan, his books, and his work, offering his services to the men who stop by Tadfield on their arduous journey north.
    One day, a mysterious stranger knocks on his door. Crowley is charming and handsome and he appears to know his way around a vegetable garden. He comes with the tempting offer of a mutually beneficial arrangement. But it’s in Aziraphale’s best interest not to get too attached.

    A dystopian cottagecore sex worker AU.

    Summary

    What if — what if Crowley weren’t a demon?

    The idea wasn’t ridiculous at all. God’s capacity for forgiveness was infinite. If Crowley were sufficiently contrite (never mind that Aziraphale had never in four thousand years seen Crowley be contrite about anything), if Crowley asked God for forgiveness...might God not then return Crowley to the Heavenly Host?

    Aziraphale’s chest went tight and heavy at the thought. Oh, how wonderful! A demon restored to grace! Crowley, safe in the light! Aziraphale clenched his hands together and prayed fervently.

    It wasn’t until he actually bumped into Crowley again that he realised that an idea, no matter how glorious, is not in fact a plan.

    Summary

    Aziraphale lives a quiet kind of life, running a quiet specialist bookshop in one of the liveliest districts of London. He's content with his lot, happy with his friends, tolerant of his probably-human housemate, living vicariously through the gossip pages.

    One day, a chance encounter with Anthony Crowley, lead singer of wildly successful rock band The Demons, threatens to turn his whole world upside down.

    Summary

    The worst thing in a whole panoply of worst things was that he mostly just really wanted to sit down on the sofa — the comfy sofa! He had a comfy sofa, what was his life coming to — and let Aziraphale stroke his hair.

    “Oh,” Aziraphale said, suddenly stopping dead. “Crowley.” His tone sounded completely different now. Worried? Sympathetic? Something? “Crowley. My dear. You’ve finally started making a home for yourself.”

    What do you do after the Apocalypse doesn't happen; when you're suddenly unemployed, spending a lot more time with your hereditary adversary, and avoiding a whole lot of feelings? Manifesting cushions is probably a bad sign...
