Summary
The thing is, Aziraphale has discovered after all these years, when it really comes down to it, Crowley’s rather bad at being… well, bad. Aziraphale normally prides himself on his way with words, but in this instance, he can’t think of a more eloquent way of putting it. Stripped down to its simplest terms, when push comes to shove, the demon, by definition, just isn’t very demonic at all.
Maybe what Crowley had said on the walls of Eden, many, many years ago, carried some merit after all. Wouldn’t it be funny if he did the good thing.
It still isn’t particularly funny, per say. Not in Aziraphale’s opinion. But it’s… something. Something that he’s gradually coming to consider being not, necessarily, a cause for heavenly concern.

Summary
The scent clung to Aziraphale’s tunic, seeped into the fabric like a stain.
Smoke. Flames. Burnt ink and paper.
The ash stuck in his hair like snow, soot smeared across his face.
Behind him, the fire was just beginning to die.

Summary
A long, long time ago War knew Julius Caesar. Not just knew him either, they were friends. Best friends at that. They could've conquered the world together if they wanted to.
But, sadly, things change when your quest for glory gets in the way of your relationships with others.
Follow War along a story of trust, betrayal, revenge, regrets, and acceptance.

Summary
This was a thing that happened.
I did a lame little 30 minute ficlet and with some encouragement it became this. A fun little fic in which Crawly has an assignment he needs some help with in Egypt and he makes Aziraphale an unwitting accomplice. Also they have dinner and a gift is bought.

Summary
Harry approaches Hermione with a serious message: “Someone is chasing me down through time, and we need to catch them before they change the past and the future.”
The culprit, not able to find the Elder Wand in their universe, seeks it out in another —jumpstarting a journey for Hermione to not only travel through the decades but also through alternate universes as she’s tasked with figuring out just why exactly they are after Harry and the Elder Wand.
To add to the complication, Future Draco travels back in time to tell Hermione to bring him along.
***NOW COMPLETE*** (yay)

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.

Lovely story that walks through terrible times in history that Crowley had nothing to do with and feels terrible about.

Summary
Aziraphale had told him that he had had to trust Crowley to take care of himself in order to hand over the holy water. Now he’s rapidly realizing that they’ve been trusting one another with each other for a very, very long time and perhaps things are simultaneously a lot simpler and a lot more complex than he ever expected.
Aziraphale and Crowley through the ages.

Historically researched story that flips back and forth between Aziraphale and Crowley's POV on tragic events in history.
