Oh, the good old days of the final fifteen...

Heart-broken, old-universe-broken, what's the point is FICTIONS.

S3 trailer-inspired:

A Little Knowledge, by AngieWords. Rated G, 200 words. P. Apr 26.

Trailer-inspired crackfic in which Aziraphale wants to teach Jesus about literature. Jesus wants to learn about the most underrated kind of literature. Incredibly funny!

Shedding The Suit, by graywings. Rated M, 1k. P. Apr 26.

Lovely fic inspired by the lift snippet in the trailer, hot and sweet. In the lift to earth, Aziraphale initiates an intimate moment with Crowley, and Crowley responds enthusiastically.

Seven (Soft) Minutes In Heaven, by redundant_angel. Rated T, 800 words. P. Apr 26. 

Lovely trailer-inspired fiction set in the elevator. Crowley and Aziraphale clear the air and have a lovely moment by themselves. 

An Antichrist And A Messiah Walk Into A Pub, by Bellisima_writes. Rated T, 3k. P. May 26.

Great fiction inspired by the trailer showing Jesus getting into the lift and the confirmation that Sam Taylor Buck would be back for the finale (oh, the good old days when we could dream!) Jesus gets to Earth, London. He is confused. He starts walking and finds himself outside a pub where his hereditary enemy is waiting to teach him he can make his own choices. This story is about defying your destiny, learning to trust and training your dog to be as petty as can be.

My own The Bookshop At The End Of The Universe, rated T 2k. P. May 26.

Trailer-inspired fic based on a snippet of the credits. Meh, not my best work.

Post S3 and fix-its:

Waiting For The Finale One Sentence At A Time, chapter 13: One Sentence Wishes, by Ineffableprofessionals. Rated G. P. May 26.

This is an absolutely beautiful, touching poem about the grief part of the fandom felt after the finale aired. But even more than that it is an ode to the fandom itself. To our ability to hold on to what we love, to not give up, to defy the fate imposed on us by the writers and keep doing what we do best: imagine better endings; writing new stories; giving each other hope. We are more than the story ever was. I am so very grateful for this poem that I can’t even put it into words.

The Gang Watches Good Omens Season Three, by MxMaxZephirus. Rated T, 3k. P. Jun 26.

This meta/fix-it fic is by far the most uplifting thing I’ve read to fix S3. Not just the ending but everything. I like to imagine them exactly as in this fic: sitting side by side, loving each other, among friends, alive, happy, and making sarcastic remarks at terrible the televised versions of themselves someone thought would make a good TV show. They are so much more in character in this fic than they were in the finale. Highly recommended.

My own Transcendental, rated T, 3k. P. May 26.

My own S3 fix-it, born of heartbreak for the ending and anger at the treatment Aziraphale’s character received throughout the finale. I wanted it to be canon-compliant and I didn’t want it to be god to grant them to live. Somehow I managed both, but that means that I could only salvage Aziraphale and Crowley, but nothing else of the old universe. It’s still bittersweet, just a little less bitter and a little more sweet.

A Lovely New World, by 0ldstoneface. Rated T, 1.7k. P. May 26.

Season 3 complaint/fix-it where Crowley and Aziraphale started the new universe and where they love each other very much.

You Though There Was Just the One? By LadyZoisite. Rated G, 188 words. P. May 26.

Fix-it fic that was posted just hours after the finale aired. Just to put things right.

Empty Pages, by cheeseplants. Rated G, 857 words, P. May 26.

Lovely fix-it where our Aziraphale and Crowley, them and in character, get to write infinite stories with a version of them as protagonists. They will never run out of paper and ink, This was very healing!

A Snow Globe In A Garden, by Mizmak. Rated G, 731 words. P. May 26.

Asa and Anthony keep receiving food deliveries with the instructions to leave them outside the snow globe in their garden. Sweet and hopeful. Contains lovely art by the author.

And They Didn’t, by Savyl. Rated G, 895 words. P. May 26.

Lovely, healing, sweet S3 fix-it where our Ineffables get to live and to confess their love. I love it.

The Gods Of Their Universe, by Ineffable_Shadow. Rated E, 6k. P. May 26.

Lovely fic where Aziraphale and Crowley survive erasure and get to build a better universe.

In Every Stupid Universe, by MxMaxZephyrus. Rated G, 1.3 words.

Incredibly soothing fiction in the weirdest kind of way! Proceed only if you have a rather dark sense of humour. This fic really helped me deal with the grief, highly recommended.

After Canon, by Bohoteacher. Rated G, 2k. P. May 26.

Meta/fix-it fic where several Good Omens characters gather at Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death to discuss the finale of their beloved series Agnes Nutter, Witch. They have mixed reactions, but the one thing they all have in common is to keep the fandom alive with their creativity and love. This fic gave me hope at a time when I was feeling rather down about the fandom. We’ll get there, eventually.

Create A Third Place, by graywings. Rated T, 6k. P. May 26.

Canon divergent fix-it where things go differently and everybody lives! So many things to love about this fiction!

Pillars, by ireallyneedmoretea. Rated G, 666 words. P. May 26.

Criminals:

3:10 To Yuma, by ireallyneedmoretea. Rated G, 666 words. P. Dec 25.

Great human Au that packs so much in just 666 words! Crowley’s last act as a soon-to-be former deputy sheriff is to make sure outlaw Aziraphale gets on the train to Yuma Territorial Prison. Cleverness, mystery and Aziraphale’s sassiness, what more can we ask for?

Warmth by Dannye Chase (HolyCatsAndRabbits), HolyCatsAndRabbits. Rated E, 9k. P. Jan 21.

Human AU where Aziraphale lives in a small town and one day a mysterious and very handsome man pays a visit to the library where he works. The two men become friends but Aziraphale knows that friendship is all he can hope for. Or is it?

A little angst with a happy ending. Really sweet and heartwarming. 

Smooth Criminal, by Sabotaged_Words. Rated T, 11k. P. Aug 24.

Oh,I adored this story! I have already recommended it to anyone who would listen and I'll recommend it again! It's a human AU where petty criminal Crowley tries to steal items from Aziraphale's bookshop and that's how their friendship begins. Delightful humour, warm vibes, great characterisation, hilarious references to canon: this fiction is a gem.

Private detectives:

Anthony J. Crowley: Private Eye, by Tigerseye67, rated M, 14k. P. Mar 25.

Lovely human AU written in the style of a 40s noir film. Crowley is a private detective and Aziraphale hires him to recover a book that Gabriel stole from him. Several plot twists later everything ends well for our heroes, in this intriguing case!

Spies:

You're The Bad Guys by Nebz_AlphaCentauri. Rated E, 91k. P. Feb 25.

For the criminals:

Protect and Serve: Aziraphale is a police officer and Crowley is a white-collar thief with a kind of Robin Hood syndrome. This story is one of the sweetests fics I've read. It's action, fluff and smut all around. If you haven't read it yet stop whatever you're doing and go immediately to read it. Stop reading this recs! Go read it! You'll thank me later.

For the spies:

Let's all hold hands and be soppy together, shall we?

Human AUs:

Read Between The Lines, by MissUnderstoodLyrics. Rated E, 5k. P. Feb 24.

I loved, loved, loved this friends to lovers human AU! Crowley and Aziraphale work at the same webzine, are friends and are secretly pining for each other. Just the right amount of miscommunication and very low angst, this story is so sweet and heartwarming!

My own Rovaniemi Calling, with incredible art by Lutralutra. Rated M, 37k. P. Jul 26.

Written for the Winter Omens Reverse Mini Bang. I had so much fun working with Lutra on this meet cute/stranger to lovers human AU set mainly in Rovaniemi. Aziraphale and Crowley meet on a plane, but after his holiday, Aziraphale will have to go back to London. Banter, fluff, a little bit of angst and a happy ending. I really hope I managed to do Rovaniemi justice, even though I’ve never been there! I absolutely want to go and visit it now, and hopefully so will you!

Whickber Uni's Lonely Heart Club, by ineffabildaddy, rated E, 21k. P. Frb 25.

Lovely human, college, enemies to lovers AU. Aziraphale and Crowley are co-president of Whickber Uni's Book Club. They hardly tolerate each other. They are organising a valentine's social event for the club. Need I add more? I loved this version of our ineffables, their strengths and vulnerabilities are so in character and yet so relatable, their humour and banter are great, and they're just so adorable.

In-universe:

Speed Limits (And How To Break Them), by darcykindbergh. Rated E, 13k. P. Jun 20.

Sweet, lovely, heartwarming post S1 fiction. Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves somehow celebrating Valentine’s Day. Initial awkwardness, love confessions and first times.

Be My Valentine, by Mizmak. Rated G, 6k. P. Feb 26.

Good New, by caricari. Rated T, 3k. P. Feb 20.

I don’t think politics is something abstract and separated from life. All my life I’ve kept fighting for my own rights, for the rights of my community, and for the rights of other communities because we are not isolated individuals. Without wanting to digress too much from the topic of fics, which is why we are here after all, let me just say that I’ve always felt that Good Omens represented my own ideal of fighting for universal justice and against oppression, for a system where people have the right to self-determination and freedom. I hope to read many more fics on this topic in the future.

To The World!

Mutual Aid, by malicegeres, rated T, 17k. (Apr 25)

Oh, I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this fiction. Brought me back home, to my chosen family, to when another world was possible (if only). Human AU. Crowley is a militant anarchist, Aziraphale is the owner of a radical bookshop. Tenderness, humour, learning to trust, fighting against injustice, this fiction has it all. I finished reading this fiction on the anniversary of a special day for my home country, a day the memory of which we are at high risk of losing, and I guess this also added to my love and gratefulness for it. We need more fics like this one.

Heir, by ddagent, rated T, 2k.(Mar 25)

Just a lovely peek into the life of future king Aziraphale on the day of his brother’s Gabriel funeral. He meets leader of opposition and anti-monarchist Crowley. This story left a delicious taste of nostalgia and what-ifs in my mouth; it was brief and effective. But a fair warning: if you need unquestionable closure in the fics you read, maybe you might want to give this one a miss. I loved it.

Love And Solidarity, by CemeteryAngel725. Rated E, 25k. P. May 25.

Great human AU where Aziraphale and Crowley met as teenagers in the 90s and find each other again after fifteen years apart. Crowley is an activist and Aziraphale is a lawyer: they fight against the same system, but go about it in different ways, reminds you of something? I do love a good activism fic, and this one felt so real and was beautifully written! The teenage love story was incredibly tender and the author did a great job at describing all the raw emotions of that age, and their adult years were so relatable! Great fic!

You're The Bad Guys by Nebz_AlphaCentauri. Rated E, 91k. P. Feb 25.

While I can't say I am a fan of reality TV (I have never seen any of the shows the fics in this list are based on, at the time of writing), I love a good story in any setting!

The Least Eligible Bachelor, by fellshish. Rated E, 37k. P. May 26.

In-universe canon divergent/pre-armageddon fic, full of humour, longing and incredibly hot sex scenes. Aziraphale takes part in a reality TV show where he’s a bachelor who has to be wooed by the contestants. The contestants are, of course, demons. There will be roses, there will be bananas, there will be snakes, there will be love. This fic gave me early-canon vibes, which I was and still am yearning, and I’m grateful for them. As usual, this author has the beautiful ability to make you laugh and cry in the same sentence, and feel all the emotions in-between. Highly recommended!

Naked And Afraid: Jingle Hell by klikandtuna, rated T, 24k. (Dec 24)

Human AU. A fictional transcription of an episode of reality show Naked And Afraid. Yes, Naked And Afraid is a real show, and no, you don’t need to have watched it to enjoy this sweet, funny, from strangers-to-lovers fiction. Lighthearted and yet tense, great characterisation, banter, will-they-won’t-they, humour, this fiction has it all! I absolutely loved it. Honestly, you don’t know me, but trust me: if I speak enthusiastically about a fiction based on a survival show, it must be that good.

Married At First Sight, by Aracloptia. Rated T, 146k. P. Dec 23.

A new classic! I doubt anyone reading these lists might have missed this fic, but let me tell you how much I loved it anyway! As the title suggests, Aziraphale and Crowley take part in the reality Married At First Sight. It's hate at first sight for our two heroes, unfortunately, but the slow burn that follows must be one of the sweetest things I've read in fiction. Crowley and Aziraphale both come a long way to understand each other and let their guard down, and the whole process is just marvelous to witness. And, no, I've never watched a single episode of the show Married At First Sight either, you really don't need to on order to enjoy this fabulous fiction. Lovely array of side characters to top it all!

Showstopper, by espresso_six_shots. Rated E, 40k. P. May 25.

They can be funny, they can be scary, they can be angsty, they can be smutty. Anything goes in this list.

You Rang? By PinkPenguinParade. Rated G, 781 words. P. Apr 26.

Lovely and very funny fiction in which Crowley is summoned and his husband comes to take him home, thank you very much. Great married couple dynamics between Crowley and Aziraphale.

A Series Of Fortunate Mistakes, by prettybirdy979. Rated T, 3k. P. May 21.

In-universe story where Crowley gets kidnapped to be offered as a sacrifice to summon a demon, and Aziraphale gets to display all his protective power like BAMF he is.

A Very Successful Trial, by Luinlothana. Rated T, 7k. P. Aug 25.

Very sweet story featuring human Aziraphale and demon Crowley. Aziraphale accidentally summons a demon. And then he does it again. Loved the humour!

Real Fire And Brimstone Stuff, by jessykast. Rated G, 5k. P. Aug 19.

I love the rare stories involving Warlock, and those where he is one of the main characters or are told from his POV, are a real treat. In this post season 1 fiction, uni student Warlock has a flatmate who's into occult stuff. Warlock is unaffected by it all, until he sees photos of someone his flatmate says is a demon. Warlock agrees to help summon the demon. Sweet reunion ensues. Lovely and funny. 

A Little Help From A Fiend, by Mimsynims. Rated E, 2k. P. Dec 22.

Sweet, funny, and, goodness me, so hot! What more can you ask of a fiction? AU where Aziraphale is human and in need of help, so of course he decides to summon a demon, who wouldn't? Did I mention it's hot?

You Can't Un-See A Dog, by Dannye Chase (HolyCatsAndRabbits), HolyCatsAndRabbits. Rated T, 4k. P. Jan 20.

This was one of the highlights of my month, fiction-wise! Crowley is summoned by two humans to be offered in sacrifice. Aziraphale knocks on their door within, like, 3 minutes. I just loved this story: The light banter and the interactions between Crowley and Aziraphale are chef's kiss; the adorable domesticity of their relationship shines through in a situation that really is not domestic at all; Aziraphale is being his incredibly brilliant self; AND there's a little mystery-solving thrown in for good measure! Top marks! 

Demon Summoning Is More Fun With Friends, by little_mx_sunflower. Rated G, 7k. P. Mar 25.

Mostly outsider’s POV, this story was so much fun to read. Crowley gets summoned, and Aziraphale goes with him. They have fun with the summoners. Light-hearted fic, but with a deep, unshakable sense of connection between our Ineffables, I loved it.

That Isn't Supposed To Happen, by AddledMongoose. Rated T, 127k. P. Mar 25.

When you crave Ineffables, but don't really have time (or energy, or concentration) for more than a few hundreds words. Small in size, big in feelings.

Major Flaw, If You Ask Me, by Angelica_Tree. Rated T, 433 words. P. Feb 26.

Lovely snippet of a post S1 future that could have been, where Crowley and Azirapahle’s personalities and dynamics are spot on.

The Chase Is Only Part Of The Fun, by Tigerseye67. Rated G, 520 words. P. Jan 26

Incredibly sweet and fluffy fic depicting a possible post S1 future. Such heartwarming vibes, I loved it!

3:10 To Yuma, by ireallyneedmoretea. Rated G, 666 words. P. Dec 25.

Great human Au that packs so much in just 666 words! Crowley’s last act as a soon-to-be former deputy sheriff is to make sure outlaw Aziraphale gets on the train to Yuma Territorial Prison. Cleverness, mystery and Aziraphale’s sassiness, what more can we ask for?

On A Mission From God, by curiouspupsicle. Rated G, 666 words. P. Apr 26.

Aziraphale is released from heaven. Crowley is waiting for him, so they can go on a mission to save the world. Funny Blues Brothers inspired fic.

You Rang? By PinkPenguinParade. Rated G, 781 words. P. Apr 26.

Lovely and very funny fiction in which Crowley is summoned and his husband comes to take him home, thank you very much. Great married couple dynamics between Crowley and Aziraphale.

A Masquerade In Every Sense Of The Word, by The_Rogue_Bard. Rated G, 500 words. P. Oct 24.

Lovely and funny through the ages fic. Aziraphale is at a masquerade ball talking with Oscar Wilde. Or, is he? Sweet and short, featuring just-enough-of-a-bastard Aziraphale.

Darling Visits The Veterinarian, by ireallyneedmoretea, Kiratastic_art. Rated G, 666 words. P. May 26.

Lovely domestic fluff ficlet inspired by Darling by EybeFioro and Kiratastic_art. Darling the cat wants to make sure her own hereditary enemy is OK.

Knight Of Swords and Knight Of Swords (Reversed), by ireallyneedmoretea. Both rated G, 666 words each. P. Jun 26.

Lovely canon compliant fics inspired by the tarot card Knight of Swords, which, I learned in the author’s note, signifies a man or a woman on a mission. Set after the 537AD scene, these fics imagine what could have happened at the court of king Arthur and what happens next. Funny and sweet!

Unplanned Niceness, by Savil. Rated T, 822 words. P. Dec 25.

Just a snippet of the lives of an angel and a demon on a random Christmas eve. Incredibly sweet and magnificently hilarious.

Good Omens Flufftober 2025: Letters, by AngieWords. Rated G, 666 words. P. Oct 25.

What a tender and sweet ficlet! The writer captures the bond and the love between our Ineffables beautifully in this post canon fluffy story! While looking for his belt in his and Aziraphale's cottage, Crowley finds some letters. 

A Tropical Christmas, by AlwaysBeMyBaby. Rated G. 666 words. P. Dec 25.

Lovely post canon fluff. Our Ineffables are spending Christmas in Hawai’i. But it doesn't snow in Hawai’i, does it?

Akrasia, by depraveddame. Rated E, 666 words. 

Super hot human AU. It doesn’t waste any time, goes straight to the point, but also allows for self deprecation and self doubt. Akrasia indeed. I loved it!

Hello Again, by SpectrallyDistracted. Rated G, 888 words. P. Mar 25.

This short human AU is incredibly deep and beautiful and powerful. It hits hard but it's so worth it.

Genesis, by Dbacklot99. Rated M, 690 words. P. Feb. 25.

Abel and Cain from the point of view of the angel and the demon who were stationed on earth. This fic reminded me a lot of A Companion To Owls both in plot and tone and it was a pleasure to read.

Free Wheelin, by theRavenMuse. Rated T, 783 words. P. Jun 25.

Hilarious crack fiction where Crowley takes part in the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake and Aziraphale is a paramedic. They are adorable.

Fruits of Labor, by cyianodiy. Rated E, 674 words. P. May 25.

Very sensual ficlet set in the bookshop. Food is involved.

Thoughts From The Other Head, by Aerenii. Rated E, 913 words. P. Jun 25.

Prepare to guffaw with this seriously hilarious fic! Every line will make you laugh harder than the other! In-universe crack fic where Crowley's cock can't take it anymore and has a heart to heart (well, I say heart…) conversation with Crowley. They need to tell the angel how they feel! A gem!

The Pope Leo XIV/Good Omens Chronicles, by ireallyneedmoretea. Rated T, 333 words. P. May 25.

Hilarious snippets about the newly elected pope (Plus gabriel, Beelzebub, and… Arnold Schwarzenegger!)

Blow Me, by Puzzl3cat. Rated T, 203 words. P. May 25.

Hilarious and sweet scene in which Aziraphale doesn’t shy away from what needs to be done. 

Winter’s Rages by miladyshakespeare. Rated G, 427 words. P. Nov 24.

A storm is raging in 1719. Any more than that would mean spoiling the story, but honestly, it’s astounding that so much goodness and so much subtle humour is contained in such a short story. Artful and clever, I truly loved it!

Thwarted Snark, by TogetherAgain. Rated G, 400 words. P. Mar 25.

The first time Crowley sees Aziraphale again after he went back to heaven, he really wants to be snarky and sarcastic. But what he wants and what they both need are two very different things. Lovely and heartwarming.

In His Demon’s Arms, by graywings. Rated T, 633 words.P. Mar 25

Lovely reverse Omens scene, set in the Garden of Eden. Sweet, brief, and powerful. In any possible universe, they belong together.

Let’s Do It, by Tigerseye67. Rated G, 610 words. P. Sep. 25.

I just came cross the fictions in this list by, you know, reading fiction. I'm probably not the biggest movie fan. But it just so happens that these gorgeous fictions are inspired or connected to films, and I'm sure there will be many more in the reblogs! (Plus, at the time of writing I'm reading a WIP also inspired by a film, so watch this space for updates!)

On A Mission From God, by curiouspupsicle. Rated G, 666 words. P. Apr 26.

Aziraphale is released from heaven. Crowley is waiting for him, so they can go on a mission to save the world. Funny Blues Brothers inspired fic.

Happiness, More Or Less by mllekurtz (TheKnittingJedi). Rated M, 21k. P. May 20. (Inspired by Just Like Heaven, 2005).

If you read only one story out of this list, make it this one. This human AU moved me so very much I cried. Crowley moves into his new flat in Soho, only to discover the flat is haunted by the ghost of the owner of the bookshop downstairs. I won't tell anything else about the plot other than it does have a very sweet happy ending, and it gets there via a rollercoaster of emotions. This is really one of those fictions that leave me in awe of the fandom's talent and creativity. Read it, read it, read it!

Planes, Trains & The Apocalypse, by walking_contradiction42. Rated T, 32k. P. Dec 21. (Inspired by Planes, Trains And Automobiles, 1987).

Human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale meet on a plane on their way to Tadfield (via London) for Christmas. Crowley can't stand Aziraphale and only wants as uneventful a journey home as possible. Ha! 

The Angel’s Gambit, by Augenblickglotte, Dragonfire42 , rated T, 9k. P. Nov. 24. (Inspired by The Seventh Seal, 1957).

Aziraphale has been playing chess with the angel of Death for over 1500 years. You'll have to read it to find out why. I loved the banter between Aziraphale and Azrael. 

The Trouble With HELL, by beerok23. Rated E, 120k. P. Jul 25.

Aaaahhh! Oh, this fiction. It took over my thoughts. I have had my fair share of fictions I have been obsessed with, but every now and then you come upon a fic that you’re not just obsessed with, but that in your mind kind of replaces canon. I was thinking of this fic’s version of Crowley and Aziraphale with more fondness than I was thinking of the canon version; I needed to remind myself that their particular bickering and bantering and falling in love wasn’t canon, it was a human AU version of them. The humour, the characterisation, the side characters, the suspense, the tension (sexual and otherwise), the plot, the mystery! There is nothing missing from this fiction, not a thing! It’s beautiful and perfect, and I’ll miss HELL Aziraphale and Crowley so, so much (though hopefully not for exceedingly long, as a sequel seems to be in the writer’s brilliant mind already. Yay!) You all know that when I’m so passionate about a fiction it generally doesn’t disappoint, so you know what to do: read it with style!

Bringing Up Warlock, by HKBlack. Rated T, 25 k. P. Oct 24.

What it says on the tin.

Grace Notes, by beardo. Rated E, 1.7k. P. May 26.

Canon compliant fic set at some point in time before S2 and in the Scorn And The Saint-Maker universe (but can absolutely be enjoyed as a stand-alone). After receiving the visit of two, eerr, strangers, Aziraphale puts some music on and indulges in a fantasy about Crowley. Delicious smut in the form of a sad wank ensues, but you wouldn’t expect anything less from our beloved beardo. Beautifully written as always, this fic has all the feels.

Proving One’s Loyalty, by indigovigilance , rated E, 4k. P. Jan 24.

Set towards the end of season 1, Aziraphale goes to heaven to speak with a higher authority only to find that Gabriel has taken Crowley prisoner. Aziraphale has to torture him in order to prove himself to heaven. Smut ensues. 

My own An Angel And A Demon Go To A Halloween Party. Rated E, 4k. P. Oct 24.

Just a silly little thing to try my hand at smut (and end up in fluff. And a little humour, hopefully.)

Two To Tango, by Anonymous. Rated E, 2k. P. Apr 19.

Book Omens PWP with two Crowleys and a very, very happy Aziraphale. Read the tags and enjoy!

Angels Don't Blow Their Own Trumpets, by shaggydogstail. Rated E, 8k. P. May 24.

This story made me cackle! Crowley poisons himself by accident (well, by trying to be cool, point is he didn't mean to) and there's only an antidote that can save him. Please DO READ the tags for this one. 

My own In Vino Ludus, rated E, 3k. P. Apr 24

It's the year 2030. Crowley comes to the bookshop drunk. An as of yet canon divergent fluffy night in the life of an angel and a demon. I was struggling with a chapter for a longer fiction and needed a lighthearted, fluff-filled, angst-free break.

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!

Biblical, by fallenwithoutgrace. Rated E, 7k. P. Feb 25.

Short, sweet, and usually with very low angst, these are the stories that put a big smile on your face and ask for nothing in return.

Everything We’ve Learned Along The Way, by SpectrallyDistracted. Rated T, 9k. P. Jan 26.

Oh, I truly can’t begin to tell you how much I loved this story! It made me feel all fuzzy inside! So heartwarming, angst-free, sweet and just joyful! Friends to lovers human AU that will touch your soul and heart. The love between Aziraphale and Crowley seeps through every single line of this fic as they pretend-date as an experiment to understand why everyone Crowley dates falls in love with him.

Just (Maybe) a Gigolo, by SpectrallyDistracted. Rated T, 5k. P. Apr 26.

The new gorgeous man in the neighborhood hits on Aziraphale. Of course Aziraphale would think he’s a gigolo, it’s the most obvious explanation, right? This human AU has all the feels: funny, sweet, intense, dramatic and sweet again! Lovely!

5 Minute Dates, by curiouspupsicle. Rated T, 2k. P. apr 26.

Sweet human AU in which Aziraphae reluctantly agrees to take part in a speed dating event in order to help boost his friend’s business. Whoever might he meet there?

My own For Old Times’ Sake, rated T, 4k. P. Apr 26.

This fiction is so so dear to me. I love it more than I can say, even though it’s not my usual piece of banter. Human AU in which Aziraphale and Crowley have known each other… Well, sorry, but they really have known each other for a long time, but their lives went in different directions. Can they get back together after twenty-five years? My dear friend said that the fic is safe for the under-40s, but the over-40s should enter at their own risk and I agree: this fic is my love letter to middle age and I’m extremely proud of it.

Lessons I’ve Learned About Love, by curiouspupsicle. Rated T, 4k. P. Apr 26.

Very sweet Ineffable wives human AU. a story of found and chosen love and found and chosen family, community, solidarity and the metaphorical (and literal) village it takes to take care of the new generations and of ourselves.

The Poster, by Luinlothana. Rated T, 2k. P. Oct 25.

Aziraphale finds a flyer taped on the window of his bookshop, if you can believe it! Lovely meet-cute human AU where they both get more than what they bargained for! Great humour and characterisation!

A Glass Half Full, by thinkinginscripts. Rated T, 3k. P. Oct 25.

This is a compelling meet-cute human AU that will have you hooked from the first line! Fantastic humour, Aziraphale has a bit of his bastardry on display and Crowley is instantly smitten, what more can you ask for? Credible and funny side characters, you say? Well, good because this fiction has got those too! All the warm feelings, highly recommend it!

My own On A Date With Tom, rated T, 7k. P. Oct 25.

Lighthearted meet-cute human AU, full of banter, chaos and bickerflirting. Aziraphale takes it as a personal offence that the gorgeous red haired man who’s walking towards him is not, in fact, his date Tom.

SEEKING (A Way Back into Your Heart), by SpectrallyDistracted. Rated T, 3k. P. Oct 25.

Lovely and angsty human AU (with a happy ending, of course!) A sweet story of forgiveness, of overcoming one’s insecurities and taking the difficult step of truly letting the other person see us.

Cherry Inferno, by badwolfgirlicouldkissyou. Rated T, 4k. P. Sep 25.

Delightful and funny strangers to lovers human AU. Crowley parks his ice cream van in front of Aziraphale’s bookshop. Flirt-bickering ensues. Great humour and creative banter. I loved Aziraphale’s inner thoughts!

On The Tops Of Buses, by WaitingToBeBroken. Rated T, 3k. P. Sep 25.

Adorable outsider POV human AU. Andy is half asleep when she gets on her 8am bus on a Saturday. She just wants to run her errands and then go back to bed. She certainly doesn’t mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people sitting a few rows behind her. If only they weren’t such a cute couple, it would be much easier to just focus on the trees outside. Great humour and characterisation as we have come to expect from this wonderful writer!

All Bentleys, Great And Small, by joyAndOtherStories. Rated G, 1,2k. P. May 21.

This human AU will put a huge smile on your face! Fluffy, adorable, heartwarming: I just want to hug this fic! Aziraphale is the owner of a pet supplies shop; Crowley finds a puppy and is in need of help and advice. I highly recommend it!

Guardian Angel: The Hot Line, by ItsScottiesStark. Rated T, 10k. P. May 25.

The vibes of this story are exactly what I’m after when reading fanfiction. That warm, cosy feeling that you’re cared for, that nothing bad can happen to you while you’re lost in the fic, that someone will wrap you up in a warm blanket and your hot chocolate will never get cold. Strangers to lovers human AU where Crowley wants to prank the operator of a sex line, but ends up calling a help line for queer people. No angst, all smiles and warm fuzzies. No fear, only happiness. I loved this so, so much!

Survival Is Insufficient Without Love (A Series Of Post-Apocalypse Vignettes), by bohoteacher. Rated T, 7k. P. Jul 25.

This beautiful story is a new classic! The narration is so tender, the prose so poetic, the plot so powerful! Can you tell I loved it? Post-apocalyptic human AU in which Crowley is in search of a garden and Aziraphale is in search of a printing press. Or rather, I'm sure you'll forgive me, Crowley is in search of a Garden and Aziraphale is in search of a Printing Press because these two things become almost mythical elements in the dynamics of this fic. I cried more times than I can tell you while reading, but mostly it was emotional, hopeful tears. That's what this fiction is full of: hope. Hope in the face of near-extinction. Hope and love and fight and resistance and community and home. Because without these things, survival is insufficient.

My own A Little Lighter, After All, rated T, 3k. P. Jun 25.

Little human AU where Crowley and 5 year old Warlock move to Tadfield. As a new single parent figure, Crowley is resigned to the idea that there isn’t any space for romantic love in his life. Enter the local bookseller.

There Was Never A Dream To Compare, by On1OccasionFork. Rated T, 3k. P, May 25.

A Sequel to Our Homeward Steps Were Just As Light, this fic touched me just as deeply. It’s no secret that I’m partial to young master Warlock, and this fic is narrated in his POV, although in a human AU version of our Ineffables. This story is tender and delicate, it exudes love in all its different forms and it just makes you want to hold on to things. And to people. And I’m not crying, YOU ARE! But dry away those tears, this story has a happy ending!

Keep Digging by Appleseeds. Rated Tteen, 7k. P. Jan 24.

Human AU. Crowley and Aziraphale work in the same office and Crowley is trying to gather the courage to ask Aziraphale out, only to get cold feet at the last moment. In order to try and save his face, he needs to do what the title says. I howled with laughter. Just put down whatever you’re doing and go read this right now. It’s unbelievably hilarious.

Can I Have Your Number? by AppleSeeds. Rated G, 1.8k. P. Apr 21.

Aaawww. Aziraphale goes to order drinks for him and Tracy, and writes down his number for bartender Crowley. Crowley asked for it, right? RIGHT?? All well that ends well, this story is brief and sweet. 

Our Homeward Steps Were Just As Light, by On1OccasionFork. Rated T, 7k. P. May 24.

I've seen this little gem recommended a lot recently, and with very good reason! Human AU where Pepper works in a nursing home. Anthony is a beloved guest prone to causing trouble, Aziraphale is a new guest. It's tender, deep, funny and original. Stirs things in you, a fiction like that. I loved it. Extra points for being in Pepper’s POV.

You Can Stay In My Bed, If You Like, by AppleSeeds. Rated T, 3k. P. Jul 22.

Lovely human AU where Aziraphale and Crowley wake up together in Crowley's bed after Aziraphale's birthday party.  Alcohol was involved. And Gabriel. Should they be alarmed? Mortified? Thrilled? Did anything happen? Let's find out while the two roommates snuggle a little closer to each other.

My own  Only Ever Meant For Someone Else Rated T, 9k. P. Dec 24.

Every year, the night before Christmas, taxi driver Aziraphale drives passengers to and from the hospital for charity. On the Christmas morning of 2023 he was ready to go home and rest with a cup of tea, a mince pie, and a book after a long night.

Guess who?

This my very first attempt at human AU, and it was great fun to write it without being bound by anything canon. It gave me a chance to play with some feelings and characterisations that I just don’t see in canon, but I like in fiction. I tried to throw in the mix a bit of humour, a tiny bit of short lived angst and, of course a happy ending!

Heir, by ddagent. Rated T, 2k. P. Sep 23.

Just a lovely peek into the life of future king Aziraphale on the day of his brother’s Gabriel funeral. He meets leader of opposition and anti-monarchist Crowley. This story left a delicious taste of nostalgia and what-ifs in my mouth; it was brief and effective. But a fair warning: if you need unquestionable closure in the fics you read, maybe you might want to give this one a miss. I loved it.

Merry Christmas, Hellspawn, by Libbyfay. Rated G, 4k. P. Dec 21.

Beautiful Warlock’s POV fiction. It's the first Christmas since nanny and brother Francis left without a word, and Warlock feels lonely. He goes to what used to be brother Francis’ shed, goes through the box of Christmas decorations and reminisces about the past, until someone knocks on the door. I am quite partial to the few, precious Warlock’s POV stories, and the author does an excellent job at depicting the pain of an 11 year old and that casual, matter of fact way 11 year olds deal with great pain. This story is delicate, and beautiful and deeper than it might seem.

Ghost, by AppleSeeds, rated T, 5k. P. Sep 22.

Human AU. Crowley seems to have a ghost in his flat who takes care of him by preparing relaxing hot baths and providing nice meals. Don't worry, though, this is fiction, and AppleSeeds fiction at that. Happy ending guaranteed. 

Smooth Criminal, by Sabotaged_Words. Rated T, 11k. P. Aug 24.

Oh,I adored this story! I have already recommended it to anyone who would listen and I'll recommend it again! It's a human AU where petty criminal Crowley tries to steal items from Aziraphale's bookshop and that's how their friendship begins. Delightful humour, warm vibes, great characterisation, hilarious references to canon: this fiction is a gem.

Get Humans Wet And Staring Into Each Other’s Eyes, by WaitingToBeBroken. Rated T, 2k. P. Mar 25.

Human AU. Hilarious Crowley's POV stream of consciousness. Aziraphale is there for the ride (in every sense, it would seem).

Click, click, Flash, by Thavron. Rated T, 4k. P. Jun 25.

This human AU has a very gentle tone. Aziraphale is a famous actor, Crowley is a celebrity photographer. The narration is almost poetic at times and the writer does a wonderful job at painting the whole picture by showing us only a few selected scenes of the relationship between Crowley and Azraphale.

Hooked On A Feeling, by ItsscottiesStark. Rated T, 12k. P. Jun 25.

Adorable and heartwarming strangers to lovers human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale meet in a bar. Soft Crowley, light banter, fluff, and great side characters! What more could you ask for?

Assistance With Evicting Former Partner Needed, by WaitingToBeBroken. Rated T, 6k. P. May 25.

By now, everyone knows that WaitingToBeBroken never disappoints! Aziraphale needs help in getting his ex to leave his flat, Crowley wants to create chaos. This Human AU is hilarious and sweet, the dialogues and characterisation are great as usual and there is a little nonsensical spooky element that makes the story all the more intriguing!

‘t Smidje (Belgijka), by Enderhuntress. Rated G, 2k. P. Jul 25.

I was so, so lucky that this wonderful fiction was my gift from the writer for FTH! I love it so much! It’s a sweet and tender high school human AU where Crowley and Aziraphale have a secret crush on each other. Neither of them thinks the other is interested until they have to learn to dance the Belgijka. They hold hands, they stare into each other’s eyes, and va-voom! This gift was a real treat to read and I’ll treasure it forever!

Sapiens, by AppleSeeds. Rated T, 9k. P. Aug 22.

Very sweet human AU where Aziraphale and Crowley haven't met, but admire each other’s work in the science and humanities fields. When they meet at an event organized by Aziraphale and his team someone is going to be smitten.

With Fairest Flowers, by scienceblues. Rated T, 4k. P. Sep 24.

These stories take place where the weather is always perfect for the time of the year. I am sure I’ve read many more fics set in Tadfield and I’ll keep adding them. In the meantime feel free to add more in the reblogs!

LessonsI’ve Learned About Love, by curiouspupsicle. Rated T, 4k. P. Apr 26.

Very sweet Ineffable wives human AU. a story of found and chosen love and found and chosen family, community, solidarity and the metaphorical (and literal) village it takes to take care of the new generations and of ourselves.

The Greater Tadfield Friends Of Music Autumn Concert by CopperBeech. Rated E, 27k. P. Oct 20.

I love how this story communicates all sorts of feelings through a fast, concise, no-nonsense  style. Crowley moves to Tadfield and joins the local orchestra. The rest is fiction. 

As always, I'm particularly partial to The Them and Warlock making appearances. And I LOVE Zingarelli!

Keep It Casual, by Kiez21. Rated E, 46k. P. Jan 24.

Crowley has just moved to Tadfield with his nephew Warlock. He has a one night stand with a handsome stranger. The day after he goes to meet Warlock’s new teacher. Yes, you guessed right.

My own A Little Lighter, After All, rated T, 3k. P. Jun 25.

Little human AU where Crowley and 5 year old Warlock move to Tadfield. As a new single parent figure, Crowley is resigned to the idea that there isn’t any space for romantic love in his life. Enter the local bookseller.

Easy, by mozbee. Rated M, 18k.

Delightful, cosy and romantic strangers to lovers human AU. Aziraphale stops off to spend the night at an inn in Tadfield on his way to his father's funeral. The next day they're snowed in. Guess who’s staying at the inn as well? 

Funny and light-hearted, or deep and insightful, outsiders and third party POVs are always so much fun to read! How do strangers see our Ineffables?

Angels Or Demons, by curiouspupsicle. Rated T, 2k. P. Mar 26.

After the demons invade the bookshop, the shopkeepers of Whickber Street wonder about the nature of the local bookseller and his boyfriend. No one gets it right.

Snakes And Stones (Never Broke My Bones), by DeerstalkerDeathFrisbee. Rated G, 4K. P. Jun 19. 

Sweet and funny human AU narrated in Newt’s POV. Aziraphale is a college student who’s always talking about his boyfriend Crowley. To everyone Crowley sounds too good to be true.

Minding Your Business, by JoyAnd OtherStories. 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.

Human Bonding Rituals As Emulated By An Ethereal/Occult Dyad, by graywings. Rated T, 1,2k.

Hilarious crack fic! It is narrated in the form of a study by God, Almighty; Christ, Jesus; Spirit, Holy on whether Aziraphale and Crowley are displaying human-like courting behaviour during their meeting in 1793. I laughed from the first word to the last, including the notes!

On The Tops Of Buses, by WaitingToBeBroken. Rated T, 3k.

Adorable outsider POV human AU. Andy is half asleep when she gets on her 8am bus on a Saturday. She just wants to run her errands and then go back to bed. She certainly doesn’t mean to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two people sitting a few rows behind her. If only they weren’t such a cute couple, it would be much easier to just focus on the trees outside. Great humour and characterisation as we have come to expect from this wonderful writer!

Let Me Be Empty: A Prologue, by Koala2all. Rated E, 4k. P. May 25.

High angst fiction but with elements of tenderness that pop up unexpectedly. Crowley is missing Aziraphale and decides to turn to Lucifer for comfort. The fic is narrated in Lucifer’s POV and does not have a Crowley and Aziraphale happy ending. It's beautiful, but please read the tags.

A Convoluted Conspiracy - A GOAD Writers Guild Word Of The Day Fic, by SazzyLJ. Rated T, 3K.

Incredibly funny post S2 fiction, told partly in Muriel’s, partly in Eric’s POV. The demon Eric is up to something, and Muriel is determined to find out what. I don’t want to spoil it, so I won't tell what the bottomline of this story is, and what I loved most about it, but it’s extremely dear to me and to my headcanon.

There Was Never A Dream To Compare, by On1OccasionFork. Rated T, 3k. P, May 25.

A Sequel to Our Homeward Steps Were Just As Light, this fic touched me just as deeply. It’s no secret that I’m partial to young master Warlock, and this fic is narrated in his POV, although in a human AU version of our Ineffables. This story is tender and delicate, it exudes love in all its different forms and it just makes you want to hold on to things. And to people. And I’m not crying, YOU ARE! But dry away those tears, this story has a happy ending!

Stargazer by Raechem. Rated G, 2k. P. Dec 24.

Oh, I loved this story, I truly did. So gentle, touching, and deep. Set at some point in the past, OC’s POV. OC helps a snake she finds in her garden that had been caught in some rope. The snake comes to visit her again, and an owl comes looking for the snake. I don’t want to spoil it and won’t say anything else, but please show some love to this gem of a fiction.

Demon Summoning Is More Fun With Friends, by little_mx_sunflower. Rated G, 7k. P. Mar 25.

Mostly told from an outsider’s POV, this story was so much fun to read. Crowley gets summoned, and Aziraphale goes with him. They have fun with the summoners. Light-hearted fic, but with a deep, unshakable sense of connection between our Ineffables, I loved it.

Our Homeward Steps Were Just As Light, by On1OccasionFork. Rated T, 7k. P. May 24.

I've seen this little gem recommended a lot recently, and with very good reason! Human AU where Pepper works in a nursing home. Anthony is a beloved guest prone to causing trouble, Aziraphale is a new guest. It's tender, deep, funny and original. Stirs things in you, a fiction like that. I loved it. Extra points for being in Pepper’s POV.

Series:

Whickber Street Traders And Shopkeepers Association Daily Observations, by WaitingToBeBroken. Total series words 26k. P. Dec 23.   

Infinite possibilities! 6000 years of untold Ineffable stories! Anything could have happened at any time. Even though it feels a bit odd to consider fics set in the second half of the 20th century as 'through the ages', I've decided to include here any fic set before the events of the book/S1. This might change as the list grows. As always, feel free to reblog with more (self)recs!

From Whose Womb Came The Ice? By Werpiper. Rated G, 9k. P. Dec 25.

This lovely story is set immediately after the events narrated in A Companion To Owls and is about the importance of keeping asking questions and looking for answers. We get to know Sitis, Ennon, Keziah and Jemimah better as they get to know the snow.

Lap Of Luxury, by Savyl. Rated T, 4k. P. Jan 26.

I am so blessed that my friend wrote this lovely, romantic and funny in-universe story for me! I can’t begin to tell you how much I love it! The humour is outstanding as always in Savyl’s stories, and their love and bravery are so heartwarming! Aziraphale and Crowley are relaxing in the bookshop. When they get too close for heaven and hell’s liking, Soho is hit by a thunderstorm.

Giddy Up, by KaeRaeSketches, NaturallyTeal. Rated E, 11k. P. Jan 26

Lovely through the ages in-universe fic set in 1871. Aziraphale is riding a sleigh in the West Siberian Plain when all of a sudden he comes across Crowley in need of a ride. A story of love, lust, temptation and endless pining, with the sweetest epilogue.

The Least Eligible Bachelor, by fellshish. Rated E, 37k. P. May 26.

In-universe canon divergent/pre-armageddon fic, full of humour, longing and incredibly hot sex scenes. Aziraphale takes part in a reality TV show where he’s a bachelor who has to be wooed by the contestants. The contestants are, of course, demons. There will be roses, there will be bananas, there will be snakes, there will be love. This fic gave me early-canon vibes, which I was and still am yearning, and I’m grateful for them. As usual, this author has the beautiful ability to make you laugh and cry in the same sentence, and feel all the emotions in-between. Highly recommended!

A Masquerade In Every Sense Of The Word, by The_Rogue_Bard. Rated G, 500 words. P. Oct 24.

Lovely and funny through the ages fic. Aziraphale is at a masquerade ball talking with Oscar Wilde. Or, is he? Sweet and short, featuring just-enough-of-a-bastard Aziraphale.

Knight Of Swords and Knight Of Swords (Reversed), by ireallyneedmoretea. Both rated G, 666 words each. P. Jun 26.

Lovely canon compliant fics inspired by the tarot card Knight of Swords, which, I learned in the author’s note, signifies a man or a woman on a mission. Set after the 537AD scene, these fics imagine what could have happened at the court of king Arthur and what happens next. Funny and sweet!

The Weather Outside Is Frightful, by IneffableMoot, Savil. Rated T, 5k. P. Dec 25.

Funny and sweet pre canon story in which Crowley and Aziraphale exchange gifts and challenge each other to a duel on Christmas day. The humour is great as always with this writer, and the art is lovely! 

Miracles On The No 34 Bus, by CuriousPupsicle. Rated G, 6k. P. Nov 25.

This story is set in 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Aziraphale is sent to New Orleans to observe the humans, but he uses miracles to help them instead. As a punishment, Gabriel temporarily suspends his ability to perform miracles and instructs him to go back to London the human way. What do you know, our angel doesn’t need superpowers to make miracles, after all! Very sweet.

Genesis, by Dbacklot99. Rated M, 690 words. P. Feb. 25.

Abel and Cain from the point of view of the angel and the demon who were stationed on earth. This fic reminded me a lot of A Companion To Owls both in plot and tone and it was a pleasure to read.

Give A Man A Mask, by Ventriloki (feral_but_fluffy). Rated T, 5k. P. Oct 23.

Beautiful and heartbreaking through the ages fic. Aziraphale is taking part in a carnival party in Venice when he's approached by a man wearing a mask and a costume so that no part of him is at all visible. They start chatting and walk away from the main hall. The man reminds Aziraphale of Crowley, but he's not Crowley. But it could be. But it's not. But it could be. Oh, the longing in this fic! Argh!

Human Bonding Rituals As Emulated By An Ethereal/Occult Dyad, by graywings. Rated T, 1,2k. P. Sep 25.

Floating Through A Dark, Blue Sky, by AlwaysBeMyBaby, AlwaysTuesdayToday, shatteredwriters. Rated G, 6k. P. Sep 25.

Music lovers of the Good Omens fandom, unite!

Ah, thank someone we have music to help us cope with everyday life and, just as importantly, to help us cope with the heartbreak that these two give us, both in canon and in fiction. But music and songs also highlight the joy, happiness, silliness, and depth of some marvellous fics. I’m also working on a different list for fics that have a soundtrack or playlist, but in the meantime enjoy this small selection. Please feel free to add other recs and self recs in the reblogs!

So I’m There, by AngieWords. Rated T, 9k. P. Feb 26

Human AU written for the DIWS Maggie’s Record Shop event and inspired by the song The Bones Of You by Elbow. This is a lovely and tender story of second chances. Crowley and Aziraphale had been friends in their uni years, and then drifted apart for reasons you’ll find out. I love how the writer manages to write a satisfying growth for both characters in a relatively short fic. Nothing feels forced in this story, it flows beautifully!

And It Feels Like Home, by AngieWords. Rated E, 5k. P. Feb 26.

Human AU, sequel to So I’m There, also written for the DIWS Maggie’s Record Shop event, and inspired by Madonna’s Like A Prayer. Sweet, romantic and hot account of how Crowley and Aziraphale get to know each other again and learn to communicate after spending years apart.

Sweet and romantic post season 1 fic where the Bentley uses music to help our heroes confess their feelings.

The Secrets I Have Held In My Heart, by thinkinginscripts. Rated M, 38k. P. Aug 25. Listen here.

You know when every now and then there’s a story, both in published fiction or in fanfiction, that you wish you hadn’t read so you could read it for the first time? This is one of those stories for me. This version of Crowley and Aziraphale touched me so, so deeply. I still think about them weeks after I read the fic. Compelling, emotional, deep, funny, touching. Human AU in which Aziraphale is born into a wealthy family and Crowley is born into a working class family. They were never meant to be together, but they come to an arrangement. Described by the author as A reverse-ish human AU where Ezra is an angel and Crowley is from the wrong side of town. 

I wish I could find the right words to make sure everyone gives this fiction a try so they can judge for themselves, but I can’t so just trust me, OK?

It does depict an unhealthy relationship, so do mind the tags, but please don’t be discouraged!

Growing On Me, by Hermiola. Rated M, 120k. P. Jan 25. Listen here.

I subscribed to this fic when it first came out and had been wanting to read it since then.

I'm SO glad I finally got to it! (Thank you Good Omens Fic Club on Discord!)

I loved it. 

Enemies to lovers, forced proximity human AU. Crowley is a rockstar in need of a lyricist. Enter erotica writer Aziraphale.

The humour throughout the story was a treat and more than once I got looks from my fellow commuters because I was giggling or snorting laughter. 

Crowley and Aziraphale's slow journey into introspection was very sweet to witness. 

I'm always partial to fictions that feature the Them and Warlock, and their characterisation here was spot on and really entertaining; I will love Hermiola's Warlock for life! 

This story was captivating, entertaining, sexy, incredibly funny, and made me want to read more whenever I had to put it down. Virtually no angst. A new classic!

Friends Don't, by MissUnderstoodLyrics. Rated E, 33k. P. Dec 24. Listen here.

Honestly, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this story. In my comment on the last chapter I said that it was like an unexpected day off at work: precious, exciting, comfortable, you know it will be over all too soon but it’s one of those gifts that make life happier. In this enemies (meh!) to friends (ha!) to lovers (yay!) Crowley and Aziraphale work as advice columnists for two rival newspapers in Tadfield. The newspapers are bought by the same media company and our two heroes find themselves co-hosting a podcast. How will they cope? Oh, they’ll cope very well indeed, let me tell you. This fiction is uplifting and funny, the banter is clever without ever feeling like they are overdoing it, and the Ineffables react to their feelings in an insecure, fragile, but all too relatable -and fairly realistic- way. It never feels like the writer is pushing it. It became instantly one of my all time favourites.

Daisy Bell, by Thinkinginscripts. Rated G, 2k. P. Sep. 25. Listen here. (The choice of which version to share was mine).

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.

Easy, by mozbee. Rated M, 18k. P. Mar 22. Listen here.

Delightful, cosy and romantic strangers to lovers human AU. Aziraphale stops off to spend the night at an inn in Tadfield on his way to his father's funeral. The next day they're snowed in. Guess who’s staying at the inn as well? 

Self affirmation, blossoming love, humour and great side characters, I loved this story!

At The Airport Terminal, by bearwonder. Rated E, 20k. P. Nov 21. Listen here.

Lovely and heartwarming strangers to lovers human AU. Aziraphale is a cabin crew member on a plane where Crowley is a passenger. Narrated from an adorably flustered Crowley’s POV, we get to witness his unfiltered thoughts in all their glory! For all of their insecurities, I love how well and clearly they actually communicate in this fiction!

My own Never Gonna Fall For, rated T, 8k. P. Sep 25. Listen here.

Those little stories that give us hope that everything will be OK. Nice and lighthearted.

EDIT, JULY 2026: I was tempted to rename the list South Downs and/or safe, happy, fucking divergent future, but no, fuck it. They're ours.

Matters Of Perspective, by NaturallyTeal. Rated M, 3k. P. Jan 26.

I am so chuffed that this fantastic, fluffy and sexy post canon fic was written especially for me! Teal plays beautifully with the POVs, and the result is a mix between hilarious and heartwarming. Plus, Angel claims Demon, enough said. I thoroughly loved it!

Accursed Be The Tongue, by Panic_CelestialInk. Rated T, 20k. P. Mar 25.

Delightful, funny and touching fic, set in a post S2 happy future. After stopping the second coming, life goes on for Azirapahle and Crowley, until Crowley is cursed to only speak the truth, and only in Shakespearean quotes. The result is phenomenal! Old friends and unexpected guests make an appearance, the mood is light, the pining obvious to everyone but the two of them, this fic has all the vibes of a post s1 fic even if it was written well after S2. And the work the writer must have put into making them talk in Shakespeare quotes while keeping their conversations on point is outstanding! I loved it!

Darling, by EybeFioro, Kiratastic_art. Rated G, 7k. P. Jan 25.

Sweet and funny story where Darling the cat makes friends with the two new strange humans (or are they?) as they move into their new cottage in her village in the South Downs. Lovely characterisation for Aziraphale and Crowley through Darling POV. Great artwork as well!

Darling Visits The Veterinarian, by ireallyneedmoretea, Kiratastic_art. Rated G, 666 words. P. May 26.

Lovely domestic fluff ficlet inspired by Darling by Eybef=Fioro and Kiratastic_art. Darling the cat wants to make sure her own hereditary enemy is OK.

Major Flaw, If You Ask Me, by Angelica_Tree. Rated T, 433 words. P. Feb 26.

Lovely snippet of a post S1 future that could have been, where Crowley and Azirapahle’s personalities and dynamics are spot on.

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 Savyl. 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 Savyl. 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!

My own An Angel And A Demon Go To A Halloween Party. Rated E, 4k. P. Oct 24.

Just a silly little thing to try my hand at smut (and end up in fluff. And a little humour, hopefully.)

My own In Vino Ludus, rated E, 3k. P. Apr 24

It's the year 2030. Crowley comes to the bookshop drunk. An as of yet canon divergent fluffy night in the life of an angel and a demon. I was struggling with a chapter for a longer fiction and needed a lighthearted, fluff-filled, angst-free break.

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.
