The cottage stands stark amid the radiant, green countryside. It is white and warm, bathed in sunlight and shining like a bright beacon at the edge of the pond that is situated to its left rear. There are wildflower fields on the other side of the pond, untouched by man, able to spread to their hearts content in the vibrant earth. The leaves in the aspen trees rustle greetings with every slight gust of wind, moving in time with the tufts of Aziraphale’s hair.
Aziraphale is in love at the very first glimpse of it.
in the house we remain by commodorecliche
This might as well be one of the best openings I've ever read. Maybe it's because I've already read the whole fic so rereading the very start takes a whole new meaning, but to me it makes it even more eerie and beautiful.
And nothing, I just wanted this on my blog.

Aziraphale buys a quiet cottage in the middle of the English countryside. It is perfect in every way: old-style, quaint, surrounded by wilderness, with a small water feature in the back and a price to rival that of any other property he's seen. He is in love from the moment he sees it.
But when a mysterious set of books, all written by unknown author A.J. Crowley, appears on his book shelf, Aziraphale begins to wonder if there is perhaps more to this house than he'd originally believed.
The truth can be buried, but it cannot stay hidden forever.

*Minor Spoilers* This story of Aziraphale falling in love with a ghost is one of the most gripping and beautiful stories I've ever read. It is such a powerful piece of fiction. Seamlessly blending romance with mystery and horror. Get your tissues, settle in, this one will haunt you.
Aziraphale has just moved to a cozy cottage in the countryside. If he's hearing things, feeling weird drafts, and noticing things out of place, well, that's just him settling in. Soon, there will be no denying the strange events, and it starts with a set of unpublished books written by an AJ Crowley. The previous, deceased, owner of the house.
This is heartbreaking. It's grief pools over everything. As Aziraphale learns more about the entity who haunts his cottage you will start to grieve as well. The way they begin to communicate was so thrilling and the softest romance. On one hand, we know they're soulmates and belong together despite any obstacle. On the other, it's a tragedy and horrifying. It's gorgeous and grotesque.
It's mostly safe in public, but an at home read for me. If you were destroyed by All of Us Strangers, I think you'll want to check this out. But mind the tags and warnings, there is graphic descriptions of death and major character death. Technically a happy ending? But that's a grey area in itself. I'd love to know how you guys feel about this ending actually

P.S Spoilers under the cut because I want to scream about this story so come back once you've read this
I literally started crying when Aziraphale discovers what was tucked into the attic, the way Crowley was never appreciated as an author was so painful!! Crowley's death destroyed me!! The scene of the water splashing and Aziraphale trying to save him??? Only to come inside and see him?? THE ART???? This one has got me UNWELL.
But also what a horror! Aziraphale never experiencing a full life with Crowley, never knowing the physical touch of a person for what was it 40 years?? That's both romantic and devastating.
UGH I will never get over the scene of Aziraphale watching Adam discover his body. It made my blood run cold. And how Crowley had to watch over his decaying body as well. FUCK this one is so insanely good and how can I explain that to a normie? Hm? Yeah this human au of my blorbos falling in love even though one of them is a ghost literally had me crying screaming and throwing up and this is a normal thing for me
My views on the ending? I think I lean on the horror end of the scale. Yes they are together, but stuck watching over every new owner of the house, still never getting to experience a real life together. What a powerful concept! And I love the different interpretations available.
I’m looking for Professor/Uni AU. Secret Relationship.
Hello!
These fics were the ones I could find with the secret relationship tag. Here’s a tag that I created for human and professors au!

Aziraphale wears a turtleneck; Crowley is very excited about it.

"Have a drink with me. After.” Crowley swallowed. “Won’t take very long, and I’ll wanna get drunk, and I want—I mean, I owe you. We’ll share the umbrella, I’ll do the thing, and then I’ll buy you a drink.”
“You really don’t owe me.”
“No, I know, I just … You’re the first person in a month who’s talked to me like I’m still human. It was a terrible month. But tonight’s been better. So. Please. At least let me get you a coffee. Give me something to look forward to while I hear how lucky I am to have signed my soul away. Please, Fell.”
“Aziraphale.”
“What?”
“My name. My first name is Aziraphale.”
Arcadia College: respected, traditional. So traditional, so time-honoured, so ancient, that the school is accidentally at the forefront of current academic trends.
One student is caught in a career-destroying scandal. Another, disillusioned, is skilled at breaking the spirit but not letter of the rules. Both are alone at Arcadia, but they're becoming friends. One might want more. Which is complicated.
Their respective academic divisions are also on the brink of mostly metaphorical war.
Or, the grad school Good Omens AU that nobody asked for but my brain won't shut up about.

it's a hard thing, adjusting to a new kind of freedom, relearning the world. there are many ways of handling a change like that, many differing attitudes concerning how to address it, many courses of action to take. it just happens that Crowley and Aziraphale, each in their unique manner, through their processes of personal growth, independently of one another and for wildly different reasons, somehow manage to land on the same big conclusion:
I should buy a house on the beach.
