Summary
There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference –
Where the Meanings, are –
(Emily Dickinson, #320)"You liked this place," Crowley said, and his voice cracked right down the middle. "You chose it."
And Aziraphale—his Aziraphale, except not, except wrong—looked at him with these calm, terrible eyes and said:
"I chose. Incorrectly."
Heaven doesn't erase Aziraphale’s memories. That would be too easy. Instead, they teach him that love is a mistake. Every time he thinks of Crowley, the feeling gets twisted. Warmth becomes guilt. Longing becomes weakness. Crowley himself gets filed away as the biggest temptation he has to overcome to be worthy of the light again.
So when Aziraphale comes back to Earth, he isn't coming home. He's coming to do a job. And the job is to save Crowley by rejecting him.

Summary
The wound on Alastor’s chest becomes badly infected and he’s unable to manage the pain even with drugs and alcohol. It gets to the point of him passing out in one of the hotel’s public spaces, unable to recover before he’s discovered by Charlie. Charlie drags Lucifer to Alastor’s side and tearfully begs Lucifer to save him. She’s having flashbacks to Pentious’s death and is terrified Lucifer might refuse out of spite towards Alastor and she just can’t lose another friend, she can’t!
Lucifer was never going to refuse, but the desperation and fear in his little girl’s voice breaks his heart all the same. Sure, he has his problems with the guy, but he wasn’t going to just leave Alastor for double dead. Who would he argue with over his morning coffee then? He overcompensates, just a tad, using his magic to not only mend the flesh but purge all foreign elements from the Sinner’s body…
Leaving behind a stranger with Alastor’s face and voice, but none of his demonic traits or abilities. Or memories.

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
Tav is an Ilmateri monk with budding mastery of Ki, the spiritual energy that flows through all things. Astarion is a cornered animal, stuck oscillating between fight, flight, and fawn.
Against Tav's better judgment, he becomes obsessed with a bright note in Astarion's Ki, betraying his relentless will to live.
Halsin and Tav are kindred souls, both with pain that is sometimes too big to hold. Their relationship blooms where nothing else grows: Halsin's cursed homeland, for which Tav's understanding of Ki may prove the final piece of the puzzle Halsin needs to lift the curse. They become pillars of safety in Astarion's life as he learns to survive in a world not designed to make him suffer.
Astarion feels safest reclaiming his body if he has complete control over Tav's. Tav is more than willing to please. Halsin is eager to perform whatever role is needed of him.
Generally canon compliant/adjacent (edit: more adjacent). Lots of angst, hurt/comfort, sex, healing, and happy endings. Essentially that song you hear behind Astarion's tent on repeat in fanfic form.

Summary
Miss Fortune never would have thought getting abducted by mind flayers and infected with a parasite would wind up being the best thing to ever happen to them, but here they are. One moment they're trailing a mark down a dark alley, the next they're thrust into a wild adventure leading a group of misfit strangers. Broke and broken-hearted following a fall from fame and a harrowing escape from the chains that shackled them, Miss Fortune considered their heart closed for business until a pale rogue named Astarion picked the lock and wedged his way into their thoughts like a dagger through the ribs. Developing a bond forged by shared traumas and late-night gossip, the rogues flirt, pickpocket, and sneak attack their way across Faerûn while grappling with their emotional scars and learning to trust each other. A sweet and sentimental tale of angst, hurt, and comfort.
