    Summary

    Prayers can be answered in a multitude of different ways. When it came to a certain cottage in the South Downs though, no one had expected it to be answered by the squealing wheels of a classic Bentley and Queen's Princes of the Universe.

    All Karen wanted to do was sell a house.

    Summary

    “You’re needed in Hell,” Dagon says.

    Crowley waits for a second. Perhaps he waits for the floor to fall away and for them to drop back into the badly-lit and smelly hallways of Hell, or perhaps he waits for Dagon to say another thing. When neither of these things happen, he slowly nods.

    “Right,” he says. “Hell. Yeah. I think you got the memo that I’m not really affiliated anymore?”

    Or: After Aziraphale leaves for Heaven, Hell offers the position of Archduke to Crowley. With a shortage of demons, there's very little chance of Hell winning the War, and fortunately, Crowley and Aziraphale have already stopped the end of the world one time before.

    Two sides, two broken hearts, one united goal. Shouldn't be too hard, right?

    Summary

    Crowley and Aziraphale are neighbours. And...it does not go at all well, until it does.

    A human AU in which Aziraphale is a bookseller, Crowley is a drummer, and they are both petty disasters in the worst/best way.

    +++

    “So what’s your deal?”
    “My-my-my deal?” Aziraphale stammered. “I’m a bookseller, is my deal.”
    “Oh,” Crowley replied, sounding as uninterested as it was possible to sound.
    “It’s just, I couldn’t help overhearing, and --” Aziraphale swallowed hard. “You really are an accomplished musician. But I thought -- for after 11PM -- perhaps we could reach some arrangement?”
    “Arrangement?”
    Aziraphale felt his his smile turning forced. “Such as, perhaps, playing the drums *before* eleven? Instead of after?”
    Crowley stared blankly at him. In fact he stared for so long that Aziraphale briefly wondered if he'd lapsed into ancient Greek again, which he was known to do in bad dreams or during panic attacks.

    Summary

    “Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?
