Summary
“This wasn’t me, you know,” Crowley says, the words out of his mouth before he’s made the conscious choice to utter them. “Not just the library, but the whole civil war. You know me; I’ve mostly been getting drunk at Bacchanals.”
“I know,” says Aziraphale.

Summary
Crowley breathed in the fresh air and the scent of just-mowed grass, glad that the ground had not turned into molten lava and the sea had not risen alongside the Kraken. By now he should have been fighting angels. Instead he had been enjoying some cold coffee with ice and syrup in it from a nearby café.
The angel sat closer to Crowley than he had a week ago, even if it was just a little bit. After thousands of years, you noticed that sort of thing.

Summary
Across the floor, Aziraphale has stilled.
‘Loved love, Augustine,’ Crowley picks up, voice quiet, looking at the red-streaked open palm of his hand. ‘How noble. But what if he couldn’t? Theory. Theory’s one thing, but—ah, has no one ever done it the wrong way? No one envied, loved the wrong thing, for the wrong reason, in the worst of circumstances? Has no one ever hated love? It hurts, doesn’t it? It must hurt. Else what would be the point of all the self-denial.’
[Aziraphale and Crowley after the Apocalypse, on the brink of becoming something else than they have been, with all the doubts and apprehensions to still approach and work through.]

Summary
Aziraphale tries to soothe, tries to rock him, completely unsure if he’s helping or not; he’s never seen Crowley lose control in quite this way. Sometimes Crowley lashes out in anger or hurt, and he’s seen him vulnerable before, but nothing like this. Nothing this fragmented, nothing this… shattered. It’s like watching Crowley break, this shivering, terrified creature clinging to him like he might disappear, and oh. Oh, Aziraphale thinks, feeling very small and fragile himself all of a sudden.
In the immediate wake of the almost-apocalypse, Aziraphale realizes he's not the only one who was afraid of being left alone.

To See It In All Its Tainted Glory (and still to love it) by allonsy_gabriel for Sanna_Black_Slytherin

Summary
The world continued to not change. Everything was completely, utterly, normal--the sun rose, the sun set, the earth spun at roughly 1600 kilometers per hour. And yet, at a small antique bookstore in London, everything had, somehow, shifted.
There was no discussion, no conversation, no moment where they sat down and said, “I think something’s just a tad different between us, now, and we ought to address it.”
But, of course, things were different. Two people (or cosmic beings of ethereal/occultish intent) could hardly go around wearing each other’s skin for a while and then expect things to just stay the same.

Summary
Agent Theron Shan has cocooned himself in a net of mistrust, his caution advancing his goals in the SIS as efficiently as it suffocates the efforts of anyone trying to reach him. That safety is threatened, however, when his Jedi partner asks for his trust in an alliance forged between herself and a dangerous Sith to bring lasting change to the Empire. The stakes are just high enough for him to risk the venture, but will his caution let slip the truth that lies within his grasp, or is it all that stands between him and a final betrayal?

Aziraphale Gets A Smartphone by Quandtuniverse for vilesque

....Exactly what it says on the tin.

Summary
Crowley kept a dog, once. Long ago. He’d named her God, officially, in a show of blasphemy he’s always felt turned out to be unintentionally complimentary heavenward. God was three years old and well over one hundred pounds when Crowley found her. She lived another nine years after that. Not bad for a dog that size.
She may as well have been a mayfly. May as well have been a sneeze, a blink, the instant between a scraped knee and a child’s cry. The split second between lost it already? and gave it away!, the moment between I and we.

Summary
“Anathema, ye shall be the guide for your friends who have seen the creation of men, walketh among men and from forth on shall be men.”
"You burned one of Agnes Nutter's books?" Aziraphale gasps. "And it was the only one?"
"Not the priority here, angel," Crowley mutters.
- Aziraphale is going too fast, Crowley is in denial and they're both becoming human.

Summary
How would he even know if he had Fallen? Would Gabriel and Sandalphon and the others find him and drag him back Upstairs, only to cast him out in some official way? Was there paperwork involved? He glanced at Crowley, who was staring broodily out the bus window, and decided not to ask.
The night of “You can stay at my place.” Aziraphale worries that he’s Fallen; Crowley reassures him that he hasn’t. Pre-Fall angelic unions are discussed from multiple perspectives, and they discover an alternative way of knowing each other.

Some fan-fucking-tastic Laiden character development/porn. Lambert is a pushy bottom with vulnerability issues and Auden is a laid-back top with a danger kink (and also a need for reassurance). They’re a mess and I love them

Summary
When Michael was brought into being, he was created with a sole purpose: to serve God.
Michael was created to be His weapon, His sword against all He deemed unholy or unjust. Michael was a warrior, a soldier, the good son who’d righteously struck down his brother on his Father’s holy orders. He was not created to be curious or joyous or furious; he simply was, and that was how he’d lived ever since he had first come into being, all those eons ago.
And yet, he’d somehow found himself here—contentedly watching a human cheer as he successfully flipped an egg in a frying pan, turning to Michael excitedly as he laughed with glee.

Summary
“Can your true form do that?”
Michael, who’s watching The Avengers with him, turns his head to look at him. He’s got this what-the-fuck-am-I-looking-at sort of expression on his face that makes Adam want to laugh until he cries. “Do what?”
“That,” Adam nods at the screen, where Bruce Banner is currently erupting into a gigantic green monster. “I don’t mean the, uh, turning green part. But can you, I don’t know, change forms? Can you make yourself look different?”
or, Adam and Michael discover life outside the Cage. It's not as disastrous as they thought it would be.

“Do you want to take his place?”
“Wh-What?” Shi Qingxuan blinked up at him.
“I’m walking out of here with someone tonight. A debt is owed, and I’ll see that it’s repaid, somehow. Whether that’s through blood or cash, I don’t care.” He Xuan slid his hand around the back of Shi Qingxuan’s neck, holding him still. “Do you want to take his place? If not, shut up, and go-“
“Yes.” Shi Qingxuan swallowed. “Yes, I’ll take his place.”

Hi Jeff,
It's Abed, but you've probably already figured that out. How are things? The dean still includes me in his bi-weekly Greendale newsletters, so I saw that the lunchroom got a new iced coffee-themed vending machine and that the fall production of Macbeth performed in reverse act order received generally positive reviews. I don't know if you went, because avant garde amateur stage shows aren't really one of your interests, but I'm pretty sure you do like iced coffee.

Summary
Wei Wuxian lifted a hand and pressed it against the bruising bite that the asshole had given him, and watched Lan Wangji's pupils expand in the flickering hallway light with the sharp-edged clarity of exhaustion. Ahh, he was so stupid. All this time and effort he thought Lan Wangji had spent trying to save him, and he really just wanted to fuck him after all. His teenaged self would have been thrilled.
He laughed, feeling the sharp edges of the sound pull at his throat. “Lan Zhan, don't tell me you're jealous,” he said, tilting his head to display the bite, watching Lan Wangji track the moment.
“No,” Lan Wangji said, swallowing.

There are only sixteen ways to silence Wei Wuxian, so far, when he absolutely will not silence himself, but Lan Wangji considers this list a work in progress. Perhaps it will be the work of his lifetime, a feat worth immortalizing in song and story.
Not that this particular method will find its way into a song for anyone else’s ears.

“You don’t think that’s strange?” he says. His voice, his new voice, is familiar now. But sometimes it almost startles him, hearing it come from his mouth. “It’s been nine months. I’ve used them almost every day. I should know how long these legs are.”
(Or: Wei Wuxian has a plan to train Mo Xuanyu's body. The results aren't quite what he expects.)

‘David knew exactly how attractive he was – it was his personality that was forever letting him down. But Patrick…Patrick honestly seemed to have no idea how that spoon in his mouth felt like sex to David, how the bright arc of his smile cut the world open. Or had it cut David open? Either way, it made David feel painfully awake.
Patrick continued to watch David, and the quality of his smile changed.
Okay, so maybe he knew.’
David and Patrick eat a lot of ice cream.
