Biblical “Buddy Comedy”

book antics

“Side effects may include: stuttering, stammering, blushing, kissing, hugging, hissing, going too fast, wall slamming, drunken confessions, crying to Hozier, being the little spoon, banter, involuntary snake transformations, and marriage.

Please call your doctor if snake transformation lasts longer than 24 hours

And Aziraphale just like "What do you mean, what was that? That was exactly what you do!"

"I absolutely do not! Not the - I mean, with your eyes, and your voice sounding like - and that thing with your hips!"

"You did that YESTERDAY".

"I did not!"

"It was when I told you I didn't have time to get lunch with you."

"Did you say that? But we did have lunch together yesterday."

like part one: dozens of people in a literal race to stop armageddon fifteen minutes before it happens with heaven hell and humanity all battling it out with flaming swords and a kraken and brian cox as the personification of death.

bonus:

if they existed in the same universe, they could make noises at each other and still have a conversation

New rec list for the new year!

1. Twenty red roses by Anonymous Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/25384438 Rating: M Word Count: 10,827 (one-shot) Human AU. Professor Aziraphale and university student Crowley. Crowley has a massive crush on his older professor (though they’re both adults), which only grows over the years. Aziraphale becomes his mentor. While they work closely together very well, Crowley never crosses the line into impropriety, until a fateful night when he runs across a thoroughly distraught, drunken Aziraphale in a pub. This fic starts out very sweet with a pining Crowley, gets serious and angsty when things heat up, and ends on a bittersweet yet hopeful note.

2. Leysingi by @childrenofthesunny and @janara7 Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/35649943 Rating: E Word Count: 7,302 (one-shot) Aziraphale is captured by Vikings on the island of Lindisfarne, when to his surprise, Crowley turns out to be one of their number. When Aziraphale is to be sold as a slave, Crowley steps in and buys him, much to Aziraphale’s chagrin. Who does Crowley think he is? And anyway, Aziraphale doesn’t need his help, thank you very much. Still, the other man who thought he owned the angel was planning on putting him to hard labor, so being ‘owned’ by Crowley ought to be at least better than that. In fact, it turns out to be so much better than Aziraphale could ever have dreamed. Spoiler alert: the ending is pure, glorious smut, and also contains some wonderful nsfw fanart.

3. Night at the Museum by @supergeek21 Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/33559249 Rating:  E Word Count: 2,095 (one-shot) Crowley and Aziraphale attend a gala at a museum. Crowley observes the crowd and basks in the heady, complicated emotions of human pride, desperation, and lust, at least until he realizes that some of those lovely vices are being directed at Aziraphale. The museum foundation’s president is openly flirting with his angel, and this, obviously, cannot stand. Crowley intervenes to mark his claim, resulting in excellent semi-public sex.

4. Venetiae Delectatio by crepesandoysters  Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/30803078 Rating:  E Word Count: 13,417 (one-shot) Human AU. Aziraphale has been finagled by brother Gabriel into coming to Venice to help seal a shady multimillion dollar business deal with a bunch of other tedious businessmen, and the situation offends his conscience and bores him immeasurably. Until he meets Crowley, one of those businessmen who is far more fascinating than any of them, not to mention quite handsome. Aziraphale, however, isn’t willing to set aside his morals no matter how good-looking the man is, leading Crowley to pull out all the stops to impress him. Features white suit Crowley, a speedboat, sexy shenanigans in a museum, and a satisfying turn of events in which Gabriel gets his comeuppance.

5. Worth Waiting For by @melayneseahawk Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/26780473 Rating:  E Word Count: 3,977 (one-shot) A perfectly lovely fic about Aziraphale and Crowley’s first night of intimacy. Aziraphale is sweetly shy at first and then increasingly bold, until they’re racing to get each other’s clothes off (one of my favorite parts). Also, Crowley can’t help but notice the angel is actually glowing, but with a divine warmth that encompasses the both of them rather than poses any danger to his own demonic nature. His discovery that Aziraphale is ticklish adds to the fun. Wonderful  lovemaking, great characterization, and wings unfurling.

6. When a Demon and an Angel Make Love, They Forget They’re Not Human @springapreppe Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/24653974 Rating:  E Word Count: 5,390 (one-shot) After the Apocalypse-that-wasn’t, Aziraphale discusses his newfound freedom with Crowley, and realizes that he wants to try making love with his beloved demon. But when they give in to their passion, they discover that two powerful supernatural beings in the throes of ecstasy can have some pretty dire consequences on the surrounding architecture. A fun and raunchy romp.

7. Getting to Know You by @holycatsandrabbits Link:  https://archiveofourown.org/works/42956547 Rating:  E Word Count: 2,661 (2/2 chapters, complete) Human AU/Naga Crowley. Crowley works in a pub and normally keeps his life as a shape-changing snake creature a secret. But not secret enough from his observant and outrageously cute neighbor Aziraphale, who knocks on his door one night and asks for his assistance in getting rid of some pesky mafia men, who are rather irritated about the matter of some money that Aziraphale may or may not have stolen and donated to charity. Yes, Aziraphale is a bit of a bastard, but surely stealing from criminals isn’t all bad? This is one hot little fic with a surprising amount of story packed into it, with Crowley to the rescue and a very, very grateful Aziraphale.
