Worth Knowing, by Twilightcitysky. Rated M, 3k. P. Jun 22.
Aaaahhh, one of those lovely, light, invaluable post season 1 fics that we all need from time to time, just to cheer us up! Refreshing! Aziraphale wants to get to know Crowley better after the failed apocalypse, so he invites him over and tries to make him feel comfortable. I loved this story so much! So in line with the canon vibes, so in character, so fun. Absolutely fantastic.
Dearly Beloved, by PirateFanatic. Rated T, 3k. P. Sep 25.
Very sweet post canon story set in a safe future. Aziraphale and Crowley go to Nina and Maggie’s wedding and start discussing the merits (Aziraphale) and faults (Crowley) of this human ritual. Will they find common ground?
Minding Your Business, by JoyAndOtherStories. Rated G, 1.4k. P. Jun 24.
Hilarious outsider POV where an ordinary person walks into the bookshop, sees Crowley sleeping on the ceiling and comes to the only logical conclusion. Sweet and funny, great characterisation and just a hint of deliciously BAMF Aziraphale, you know the kind: when just half a sentence he says in a certain way sends shivers through your spine.
Bonus point: amazing art by oezalet.
Aziraphale’s Brief History Of Time, by NaturallyTeal. Rated M, 1.1k. P. Jul 25.
In a safe, happy future, Crowley and Aziraphale are enjoying the sun in their garden. Crowley teases Aziraphale asking what he would do differently if he could travel back in time. Aziraphale starts explaining why time travel is impossible. This story is sweet and so them. Their dynamics is so in character with the added bonus of them being free to be together.
Fashionably Late, by Savyl(Aerenii). Rated M, 3k. P. Oct 25.
Oh, the sweetness, charm and humour of this story! The author masterfully interweaves the tenderness and the gentle teasing of a loving established relationship with hilarity of an… unfortunate situation, entirely of Aziraphale’s own making. Post canon, safe future AU where Aziraphale wants him and Crowley to go to Nina’s fancy dress party, and he wants to go dressed as Crowley. As always with Savyl the characterisation is spot on and so are the lighthearted vibes. You read this story and think, yes, that’s how their relationship will look like once they are free.
Daisy Bell, by Thinkinginscripts. Rated G, 2k. P. Sep. 25.
This is such a tender and romantic in-universe fiction! The author captures Aziraphale and Crowley’s voices perfectly and their love for one another is so palpable. Set partly in 1925, partly in a post second coming future and inspired by a stunning piece of art, this story tells us of an angel, a demon and the beautiful moments they share and sore in their hearts. And, of course, of bikes.
Flavors, by dbacklot99. Rated M, 1.3k. P. Mar 25.
In this beautiful in-universe fiction Aziraphale finds an original and marvellous way to tell Crowley what he means to him.
The Importance Of Being Mr. Brown, by graywings. Rated T, 2k. P. Aug 25.
Lovely established relationship, post canon fic. Aziraphale and Crowley help put up a production of The Importance Of Being Earnest in the village in the South Downs where they have retired. The director, a Mr. Browne, might have a thing for Aziraphale. Luckily, our matchmaking duo might have just the right person for him.
Taking Some Pictures Or Something, by his_infinitevariety. Rated G, 2k. P. Nov 20.
Oh, the sweetness of this fiction! Post canon (written after season 1, but might very well be set after whatever will happen in season 3), Crowley gives Aziraphale his phone to take pictures while on a day out in the South Downs. Aziraphale discovers Instagram. They are so adorable and in love, and will make you smile so much!
Ineffable Prankster, by SpaceGiraffe. Rated G, 5k. P. Jul 24.
Written after S2 but set after S1, this adorable fiction is an account of how Crowley the menace gets the angel’s attention and -more importantly- why. Several pranks lead to fluff, confessions, and a new beginning.
One Perfect Day by PirateFanatic. Rated Teen, 4k. P. Oct 23.
Canon universe story where Crowley and Aziraphale are safe. In fact, they are about to go to a wedding. As Aziraphale dresses up, Crowley moans that he doesn't want to go, but Aziraphale doesn't give him a choice. And, in the words of the writer, with good reason.
Will You Ever Stop Surprising Me? by curiouspupsicle. Rated M, 1k. P. Aug 24.
This fiction is a little gem. Set in a hypothetical future after our heroes averted the apocalypse again, it focuses on Crowley wondering if he might ever get bored of life on earth with Aziraphale. and then spending the rest of the story trying to catch up with all the ways the angel still surprises him. In the words of the writer, this is a story about Aziraphale being sex-positive. But it's that and so much more. It's joyful, it's clever, it's funny. The characterisation is spot on. I would have loved to have more of these two in this fiction!
The Exponent Of Breath, by possibilityleft. Rated Teen, 8k. P. Oct 24.
This is another absolute gem that I loved so much this month! It shows us moments in time when Aziraphale and Crowley have attended weddings. It's a mix of past, future, better times, warm feelings and happiness. Deep and beautiful. Some fictions you can clearly put it into words why you liked them, and some just speak to you at a deeper level, they just touch something inside you, and this is one of those.
Masturbation (Doesn't Count As Sex, Surely?), by Hellsgardener. Rated E, 1k. P. Oct 24.
Very few fictions manage to convey such intense feelings of sweetness and hotness alike in such a short tale as this one! Aziraphale asks Crowley if he's ever had sex and reminisces about his own solo experiences.
The Angel Tree by GoodInspirationsAD, rated T, 8k. P. Dec 24.
Post season 2 fiction with a lovely happy ending. Aziraphale is in heaven and Crowley, as heartbroken as he is, replaces him in making sure the London Hospital Angel Tree initiative has presents for all the patients. Meanwhile, Aziraphale worries that, with him in heaven, some patients will be left with no gifts, so he has to go down to earth and fulfill the patients’ wishes. Hurt, comfort, communication, intimacy, South Down cottage, AND Christmas all in one fiction, what more do you want?
The First One That's Right, by DoonaRose. Rated T, 2k. P. Aug 23.
Sweet account of our Ineffable ‘doing it again’. Lovely.
A Day For Magic, by Create_Serenity rated T, 3k. P. Dec 23.
I loved the vibes of this fic so much! It's sweet and lovely, with great characterisation. The loving banter and the clear affection between our Ineffables paint a heartwarming picture of how things could be once they are safe from heaven and hell.
My own little one shot, Angel! Angel! They're At It Again! Rated M, 5k. P. Aug 24.
It's the year 2030. The world never ended. Aziraphale and Crowley are living happily and safely together as a married couple. Everything would be well, if it wasn't that lately Aziraphale has been a bit busy. A bit distracted. Now, Crowley can't have that, can he? He seeks the advice of his girlfriends, who unwittingly give him an idea on how to liven up his marriage. A fluffy and hopefully funny way to the South Downs cottage.
To The Bone, by quitequaintrelle. Rated E, 7k. P. Jul 25.
Get ready for an incredibly hot piece! This is a delicious post-canon, established relationship fiction, full of sexiness, tenderness, love and mutual trust. The writer does an excellent job at weaving humour and banter with the heat of the scene and the characterisation is great!
Keep Reading, by Aerenii. Rated E, 1.8k. P. Jul 25.
Have your fan ready for this incredibly hot post-canon fiction! Male presenting Aziraphale and female presenting Crowley go on a plane. Crowley is feeling rather horny. The fact that the fiction is told in Aziraphale’s POV makes for some hilarious lines in the middle of all the heat. And yet, the thing I loved the most about this fic is the unquestionable love between our two Ineffables! Fantastic fic!
Well Earned Rewards, by Aerenii. Rated M, 2k. P. Jul 25.
I am always in awe of the humour in this author’s stories and this one doesn’t disappoint! Post-canon, established relationship fic. Aziraphale asks Crowley to help get people to Nina’s coffee shop stand at a festival and promises rewards to motivate him. Challenge accepted, Crowley naturally behaves like a 4 year old (and we love him for that!). This fic is just so full of love: their interactions, their banter, their everything screams love! It’s the husbands at their husband-est!
Orbits, by AngieWords. Rated G, 3k. P. Jul 25.
Beautiful and heartwarming post canon fiction. Our Ineffables have a picnic on the roof of the bookshop to watch a meteor shower when Crowley reveals to Aziraphale why he's so fond of Alpha Centauri. This is just how I imagine their relationship to be like once they are safe.
Biblical, by fallenwithoutgrace. Rated E, 7k. P. Feb 25.
Very hot post canon fiction where our Ineffables confess their feelings for the first time. And then, things happen. I loved the characterisation and the banter!
