    Summary

    Anthony Crowley is 40 years old and down on his luck. In the past few years he’s lost his job as a journalist, his boyfriend, his flat, and most of his self-respect. When he hears about the chance to nanny a three-year-old boy, it looks like the opportunity he’s been waiting for to turn his life around.

    At 57, bookshop owner Aziraphale Fell has resigned himself to his perpetual bachelorhood. Still, each year, he looks forward to dressing up in his vintage Father Christmas suit and turning his bookshop annex into a holiday wonderland.

    When Crowley and his young charge, Adam, attend Father Christmas’s Magical Bookshop, it’s clear the two men are attracted to one another. Over the course of the next year they become friends, important to one another in every way. The question is, can they face their fears and admit that they have fallen quite deeply in love?

    Summary

    Months after the Apocalypse that wasn’t, Crowley thinks Aziraphale might finally be interested in something more than the friendly distance they’ve carefully maintained for six thousand years. He’s working on getting the words together, now that Hell isn’t breathing down his neck. But now, catastrophically, Aziraphale has a very friendly, possibly angelic visitor hanging around the shop. Crowley has his half-formed romantic plans, a jealous streak a mile wide, and too much time on his hands. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    In the meantime, they’d have their familiar dance; trips to museums and galleries, promenades through the park, evenings in the shop where the world went golden and giddy at the edges.

    Six thousand years, he’d gone without Crowley kissing him. He’d go another six if it meant giving Crowley the world instead.

    [Aziraphale and Crowley have rekindled their old friendship, which is all they want from each other now that the world hasn't ended. Absolutely nothing more. Nothing at all.]

    Summary

    Inn proprietor Aziraphale finds Crowley insufferable. The man is rude and arrogant.
    Cafe owner Crowley despises Aziraphale. The man is posh and fussy.
    When the National Witch Association is snowed in at Heathrow Airport and is unable to attend the Solstice Dinner event that they booked and paid for, Aziraphale decides to take the chance and invite the lovely people of Tadfield to spend the night at the Inn. If he extends the invitation to Crowley and his niece, it's only out of kindness towards the latter.
    Certainly it isn't because he's in any way attracted to Crowley, no. No.

    The premise of this story is very loosely based on one of our (both, Di’s and Hogs’s) favourite Gilmore Girls episodes The Bracebridge Dinner. You absolutely don't have to be familiar with the show to enjoy this fic, but if you are you might recognise a few references and Easter eggs. No, RP Taylor is not a misspelling. Apart from the bare premise and some references, the two stories don't really have much in common.
