    Summary

    Fresh off a bitter divorce, Aziraphale fabricates a perfect marriage to get hired at a wedding magazine—just a stepping stone on the way to his dream career. It's a foolproof plan, until he needs to produce said husband for the magazine's annual couples retreat.

    Enter Crowley, his best friend's mysterious cousin, who agrees, for his own reasons, to play fake husband for a week—no strings attached, no messy complications.

    One problem: the more Aziraphale discovers about the real man behind the act, the less fake his feelings become.

    Aziraphale thought the hardest part would be fooling everyone else…

    Summary

    The idea came to me one particularly chilly evening, with the sort of contentment brought by the warmth of a roaring fire and the pleasant glide of Holmes’ bow upon his violin.

     

    (Watson schemes to give Holmes a gift. He enlists the help of Mrs Hudson.)

    Summary

    Sherlock had never understood the saying of someone “wearing their heart on their sleeve” until he’d met Doctor John Hamish Watson and the constant, sticky stain of affection that he wore day in, day out. John’s heart oozes with his feelings for the world around him and the people who live in it.

     

    It had been unsettling when they’d first met, just how messy John had been with it all – mess wasn’t something that Sherlock had been accustomed to.

     

    Now, he couldn’t picture a life without it.

    Summary

    Over the past 500 years, Aziraphale had noticed that his hearing was changing. At first it had been subtle, missing little snippets of conversation, and then people turned muffled, their words mumbling together to Aziraphale, like their speech was foggy mist.

    At age 6052, Aziraphale lost his hearing for good.

    Summary

    An evening in the bookshop, and Aziraphale is reorganising books, when *really* he should be drinking on the sofa with a particular demon. Really Crowley cannot be blamed for his impatience...

    Summary

    “Why would you do that? He has a destiny.”

     

     

    “He has free will,” Crowley said finally. Crowley was quite proud of free will. After all, it was his greatest achievement. “All this talk of destiny was keeping him from the one thing the kid actually wants.”

     

    “Which is?” Aziraphale asked.

     

    “Love,” Crowley shrugged, and Aziraphale felt his grace (or something that felt a lot like grace but might in fact be something a little more human) swell inside him.

     


    ****

     


    Aziraphale and Crowley meet Achilles and Patroclus, and consider the grip of destiny and free will.

    Summary

    Whumptober day 4: “Don’t be scared, I’ve done this before.” Heaven once again gives Aziraphale a pointless and unnecessarily difficult assignment, leaving him exhausted and struggling. He tells himself there must be a reason for it, but that line of thinking is already falling apart by the time he bumps into Crowley en-route.

    If only there was a way to soften Aziraphale’s pain, to take some of it into himself. His ragged breaths are too much for Crowley to bear.

    “Angel.” Crowley says, desperately now, “Breathe."

    Or: After The Second Coming, Crowley tries to comfort Aziraphale.

    Summary

    When an angel goes six thousand years being told he is doing a mediocre job, eventually that angel starts to believe that he's the one that's mediocre.

    Thankfully Crowley is there to set him to rights with some cocoa and chocolates.

    Prompt: Touch-starved Aziraphale and Crowley fluff.

    Summary

    It’s true they’ve managed two conversations, during which information has certainly been exchanged, but Aziraphale has found them bizarre, uncomfortable affairs. Outside their conversations Aziraphale is rather under the impression Crowley is waiting for him to make a mistake. He often catches the man staring intensely at him across the room, as if expecting him to trip over his own shoelaces or spill his drink down his own jacket.

     

    He doesn't like Crowley and Crowley doesn't like him. Right? Azirpahale can't possibly have got that one wrong.

    *points to the tags* This is pure fluff.

    Summary

    He imagines the quippy cold open, how he could spin it.

    He could put in one of those record scratch sound effects. Or just make the noise with his mouth. Yup. That’s me. John Hamish Podcast Watson. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

    That’d be funny. The listeners would love it, for sure.

    But Sherlock had solved this one in less than 48 hours—a mystery that had seemed knotted enough to center an episode around, instead unraveled in a day and a half by the same deft hands currently stimming against his scalp.

    Yes, this was, indeed, a fucking disaster.
