Summary
It was 1419, sixteen years had passed since the Siege of Suchdol, and Bohemia sat on a knife’s edge.
When friend and foe stood on both sides of a battlefield, there was no such thing as neutrality in war.
Or the one where Hanush had been right. Hans’ importance had only grown over the years. The only issue was that sometimes he felt he was not enough of a man to fill his own shoes.

Summary
Uriel clears her throat, clandestinely refilling her glass.
"I never thought I'd see the day," she says. "Not that it's not sweet and all, but..."
"But what?" Aziraphale prompts, not liking the tilt of her frown.
Uriel flicks ash on the pavement. "I don't know what you see in him. Nice for what he is, yes, absolutely. You've got me there. He didn't so much Fall as trip and make an arse of himself, and part of him's been trying to make up for it ever since. You, though, you've got a lot to answer for. Is that what it is? He keeps you respectable?"
Aziraphale experiences a flash of genuine anger, but quells it as swiftly as he can.
Crowley wrapped around him. Crowley's startled laughter at the brush of Aziraphale's fingers behind his knee. Crowley's voice, low and drowsy, asking if Aziraphale thinks everything is going to be all right. Telling him yes, touching his hair. Holding him.
"He reminds me," Aziraphale tells her calmly, "of what matters."

Summary
"Avalon was old when it wore that name. Old and strange and full of wonder, guarded by holly trees and white stags, garlanded by springs that run with water clearer than starlight and hills that echoed with music even in the silence.
‘They told me Arthur was dead, Angel. That I should get up here and start a war now the Round Table’s broken.’ "
Crowley, Aziraphale and the Fall of Avalon. The first time they worked together, and the times when magic was, maybe, still part of the world.

The Last Temptation of Crowley by irisbleufic

Summary
The best method for clearing one's head, as far as Crowley knew, was feeding the ducks in St. James's Park. And if that failed, at least it was a jumping-off point for other pursuits. What Crowley failed to take into account was that Aziraphale wasn't going with him, and the former usually depended upon the presence of the latter.
"Hallo," Aziraphale said from a distance, already standing in their favorite spot.
Crowley took a crumpled paper bag from his jacket, where it had spent the past fifteen minutes as an unattractive lump. "We have to stop this," he said decisively, opening the bag. "People will talk."

Summary
Before the Beginning, Raphael devised plants and fungi that would heal, stars that might or might not appeal to other angels, and some ungodly-looking reptiles. One day the fly agaric mushrooms were gone, and the next time Crowley saw them, they’d been imbued with the knowledge of good and evil under a tree with a do-not-touch sign. Sometime later, Crowley attempts a temptation and instead finds a lot in common with their divine parent's half-human son.
In the present, houseplants conspire to make an angel and a demon confess their love for one another, angels and demons conspire to re-start the apocalypse, Michael still wants to know why their sibling isn’t answering their calls, Uriel kept a secret that got out of control, Dagon just loves a good scandal, and Anathema strives for a better plotline.
In which Crowley confronts some old de- well, angels, Aziraphale comes to terms with some feelings about God, Warlock is quasi-accidentally adopted by his godfathers, and old prophecies come to fruition in a manner that no one could have anticipated.- Language:

Summary
"Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."
"Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."
"Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."
"That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."
"You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"
"Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

Summary
"Aziraphale," said Crowley. Dread churned in his gut, and yes, he could tell it now, there was something off here, something like -- like -- "What's happened?"
"I'm human," said Aziraphale.
-- like the absence of something so familiar it had gone unnoticed for six thousand years.

Summary
Decades after the world didn’t end, Heaven and Hell got their war — and nearly destroyed everything in the process.
When Aziraphale finally manages to reacquire a corporation and return to Earth, he discovers he was gone longer than he thought and the planet has become unrecognizable. As he searches for Crowley and tries to figure out how he fits in a world that Heaven, Hell, and God have all wiped their hands of, nature works around him to reclaim the bones of an old civilization as the scraps of humanity build a new one.
A lush and optimistic post-apocalypse story, told from the POV of an immortal who can't let go of the past.

Summary
In the innocent time before the Fall complicated everything, one shy, studious chronicler and one curious, chaotic starmaker fell in love. They were left with no memory of each other, but the soul remembers what the mind forgets, and their experiences together left them with a unique kind of synesthesia— the emotional state, mannerisms, and voice of one having a paired physical response (smell, taste, or color) in the other.
Follow Aziraphale and Crowley from the pre-Fall times to the Apocalypse as these heightened earthly senses continually pull them back together. At first, they meet tentatively under Halley’s Comet, the last thing Crowley created as a starmaker and an excuse to keep returning to one another’s orbit. But over the millennia, their relationship deepens and they find new reasons to seek each other’s company.

Summary
Crowley has a revelation in the shower. Not the world-ending sort or the getting-laid sort, but one of the far less fun sorts. The sort that leads you to realize that something has somehow gone very wrong. Most likely, anyway. Maybe.
Heaven, why him?
(Fan Cover Art by my own Eldest Podling.)Author's Notes: This story can be read as a Standalone, OR as part of the series (located on Squidge). Innocuous came first, and nothing changes what it is--
a lovenote to footnotesan excellent GO story.The footnotes work if the story is read chapter by chapter, the footnotes map properly, but not as Entire Work.
BIG NOTE: I'm moving most of my content to Squidgeworld. My pseud is flamethrower; you can download PDFs, ePubs, & Mobi files on Squidge for easy reading just like you can on AO3.

Portrait of an Incandescent Gentleman by 5-door Wasabi (Ignica)

Summary
"To an angel, the material world — even the highest forms of artistry — should have value only as a metaphor for the spiritual one. Why, then, does Aziraphale’s mind keep returning to the question of whether human artists could capture more than the tactile, sinuous aspects of Eve’s tempter? A softer aspect, perhaps? Or even an earlier one?"
Down the ages, Aziraphale ran into many attempts depict the demon Crowley, in many different mediums. The angel may even have tried to commission one. Or two. Or three.
On five of these occasions, things went somewhat awry…but everyone has a good side. Surely.
Or: 5+1 Things done as an Art Quest for an angel who's got it far worse than he thinks he has.
