    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

    For Tav, Ki renders the entire world, and each soul in it, a song.

    This extension of his empathy fuels his Ilmateri faith — and sometimes his own self-destruction. He's long accepted his life will end in lonely martyrdom.

    And yet…

    Astarion's Ki is high and driving, a cornered animal. Tav can't get it out of his head.

    Halsin's hymn thrums an ancient sorrow that draws Tav in, moth to flame.

    The contrast threatens to break down everything Tav knows about himself.

    With Astarion, passion burns so white-hot they threaten to destroy each other. With Halsin, everything unfolds with such aching slowness because neither believe they deserve the other.

    Astarion wishes to reclaim his body by having complete control over Tav's; Halsin can't get enough of his unbridled pleasure.

    Halsin is in awe of Tav's altruism and faith, while Astarion wishes to break him of both.

    But both give Tav reason to question why he, in a world of gods, is expected to sacrifice himself.

    He might even start fighting back.

    -

    Listen: the endgame is joy, but these three have to wade through an ocean of tragedy and trauma to get there.

    Come root for them with me. Edited 7/2026

    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.

    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    After leaving Szarr Entertainment in the wake of a tumultuous - deliberately engineered - scandal, Astarion Ancunín has rebuilt his acting career, from the blacklisted ground up. Through a heavily doctored narrative of queer reclamation, he's finally making a name for himself, and hoping to claim prestige (and maybe a few awards) through the leading role in a historical biopic about the openly gay elven oracle, Aerthwyn Capaxath.

    The only problem is, Aerthwyn Capaxath is the worst person that ever lived (or died). Just ask Dr. Rosalie Frostsong, a thoroughly unwilling expert on the subject.

    Summary

    Gabriel and Beelzebub come to Aziraphale's bookshop together. Neither Crowley nor Aziraphale are very happy with this turn of events. And nothing ever goes unnoticed on Whickber Street.

    Or, in which I rewrite Season 2 so that the final fifteen never has to happen, give lots of attention to people who showed up for two seconds, and annoy our favourite characters to no end.

    Summary

    HUMAN AU
    Aziraphale hires a sex worker named A. J. Crowley — but not for the reasons you might think.


    Welcome to the definition of "crack treated seriously"! The overall tone of this fic is light-hearted and fluffy, but there are some more serious stories/themes in the later chapters. But I promise — if you're here for fluff (and a little bit of sexiness), you will not be disappointed (at least, I hope)!

    2026/05/09: Only 4-5 more chapters to go! All remaining chapters are fully outlined and some partially written (the only question in number of chapters is if I end up splitting any into two parts). I hope you enjoy this silly, sexy ride!

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Ineffable Divorce, Aziraphale struggles to reshape Heaven from within while Metatron manipulates every move. Crowley, alone and adrift, is slowly forced to confront his deepest wound: who he was before he Fell, and why it still matters.
    When the Second Coming arrives — with Satan himself stepping onto the board — the two of them must find each other again. Not as the beings they were, but as who they've become.
    A story about identity, forgiveness, divine politics, and a happiness that, for the first time, doesn't need anyone's permission.

    Summary

    Dr. Aziraphale Fell is newly appointed as the Chief of the A&E (ER) at Celestial Harmonies Hospital in Lambeth, London. The crowd is a much different one than the patients that gathered at his previous place of work in the South Downs- and his coworkers are perhaps the oddest of all. Emergency physician Gabriel Winger seems to think Dr. Fell has robbed him of a position that was rightfully his. Beatrix Bealz, the trauma surgeon on call, doesn't look or act like a surgeon at all. And then there's that strange Head Nurse Crowley. So stand-offish with his coworkers. So sweet with the patients. A mystery, all together. Aziraphale can't help but want to solve that mystery- what physician can resist one?

    It's still the 14th century, and will this blasted century ever end?!

    A sad, wet, and cold Crowley is picked up off the side of the road by the knightly Sir Aziraphale who is on his own pilgrimage of sorts. Of course Sir Aziraphale needs a squire! Medieval shenanigans ensue.

    And of course, mistakes were made...

    Summary

    Follows immediately after the end of The Prince and the Principality.

    Now that the happy ending had been achieved, sides chosen, and the villain banished, Aziraphale and Crowley can finally be together. But will springtime be the start of happily ever after or something else? Aziraphale and Crowley now face secrets and the legacy of a difficult past, and most daunting of all, honesty with each other.

    And of course, there’s also the (minor?) complication of Crowley’s evil ex-boyfriend Asmodeus, the Second Prince of Hell, the Lord of the Serpents, and the Demon of Lust. If kidnappings weren't bad enough, Asmodeus now has a thing for Aziraphale as well and worst of all, is probably trying to romance the Principality on the sly.

    Of course, mistakes were made...but now both Crowley and Aziraphale are working on fixing things together.

    Complete, pending notes chapters.

    Hastur witnessed “holy water” drip onto Crowley’s fingers and nothing happened. Hastur thought he had one over on him by feeling lucky and exploded the bottle, smiling at the gamble about it being normal water paying off. But what went through his mind when he watched the traitor Crowley bathe in a tub full of holy water? How, of all demons, did that flash bastard gain immunity? The loss of Ligur now weighed even heavier, and what kind of demon would he be if vengeance did not become his all consuming priority.

    Summary

    Spending a year alone in a tower with just the company of a tressym bids for a lonely existence. So too does a long century of leadership through crisis where what friends you had all perished with cruel haste and what little opportunities for new connections you get are limited to the cold dynamic of leader and subordinate.

    One pulled from his tower by extraordinary forces and the other broken from his physical and metaphorical chains. On the road to moonrise towers and beyond, Gale and Halsin find themselves surprised to note one or two more commonalities between themselves than they could’ve anticipated despite their stark differences.
