    Summary

    Drs A. Z. Fell and A. J. Crowley have known each other since they were eighteen years old and have spent most of their time since trying to sabotage each other's degrees, research opportunities, and professional reputations.

    Aziraphale Zariah Fell firmly believes that she is the better woman of the two of them and is trying very hard to behave accordingly. Anthonia J. Crowley does not believe that either of them is really any better than the other and would quite like her pompous, feathery colleague to just bloody admit that for once.

    How will they cope when the powers that be start to tighten purse strings, behave mysteriously, and push them further and further into each other's lives?

    OR: They really think they hate each other... right up until they really don't.

    Summary

    “Well, that was a thing,” Crowley said once they were out of earshot. Without talking about it, they were both heading down the field, towards the lake where the photographer (and likely a few more people from the TV crew) was waiting.

    “That was a wedding,” Aziraphale replied, surprised at his own annoyance that somebody called a wedding a ‘thing’.

    “Yeah, obviously, didn’t miss that part,” Crowley said with a shrug, and waved abruptly in Aziraphale’s general direction. “Neither did you, from the looks of it, since you’re dressed like a wedding bride and everything.”

    “Excuse me, I am a—“ Aziraphale stopped himself, and started over.


    In which Aziraphale ends up marrying a rude stranger who wears sunglasses.

    Summary

    "Why are you doing this?"

    Aziraphale's voice is faint, his breathing uneven. Crowley doesn't lift his eyes to see the sickly look on his face, the twist of pain where only joyous smiles should ever be.

    "Bandages need changing", he mumbles, eyes fixed firmly on his working hands.

    "No. I meant-" He can hear as Aziraphale swallows. "Why do you care for me?"

    It isn't just 'why do you take care of me'. It's 'why do you still care at all'.

    Crowley has to close his eyes for a second, makes sure Aziraphale doesn't see.

    "Cause you're here", he says, voice carefully detached, "and you're hurt, and you need someone. And that someone's gotta be me."

    "Why?"

    He won't answer that. He can't answer that.

    "Don't ask stupid questions."

    ~oOo~
    Or, the one where Heaven punishes Aziraphale the only way they know how, Crowley is there to help pick up the pieces, and maybe they can actually build something new and much more beautiful from both their broken shards.
