Aziraphale looked tired, and also sad, and Crowley found himself wishing that it hadn’t taken so long for Aziraphale to catch on that his superiors were essentially bastards. Aziraphale had the fixed idea that heaven was in favor of being nice to other people, to which Crowley had two responses, one: that didn’t work out too well for that poor bugger who got nailed to a cross, did it, and, two: they mean humans, they don’t mean you. He couldn’t manage to say either of those things in the face of Aziraphale’s expression, and turned his back so that he could stop looking at it. Oh heart.

Everything ever written had tried to capture this moment, this feeling in words, and Aziraphale was a being built to love, but even he was at a loss to describe it. It felt immense, overwhelming, intense and tender and everything in between, and it was rescued books and crepes and holy water in a thermos, and and and. Oh, this is lovely.

Michael has his way of tipping the scales. Janet chooses another. Or: Jason remembers 803 versions of the Bad Place, but this one is definitely the weirdest. Aw, Jason.

In their cottage in the South Downs, when Crowley eventually succeeds in getting Aziraphale to use a laptop, it takes Aziraphale literal hours to get past the default Windows screensavers of picturesque locations because 'oh, look, isn't it lovely, Crowley!' - 5 times Crowley knows he’s in love with Aziraphale + 1 time he knows the reverse. Exactly what it says on the tin. Such lovely pining. Happy sigh.

Everyone thinks they're a couple, so maybe they actually are? this is adorably charming.

One of the first things Crowley noticed about Aziraphale was that he rang like a bell. His presence was a vibration in the fabric of the cosmos, and Crowley could, after a time, recognize him by the feel of it. The first time they touched, Aziraphale’s soft hand warm in his, Crowley’s entire body rang with him: a clear, sweet thrill. this is lovely.

"The internet, Aziraphale!" Crowley says. "This is what the internet is for. This is, quite literally, what the internet is for." "Oh," Aziraphale says, and Crowley knows, he just knows, that Aziraphale is going to say something about how it's jolly useful for hard-to-find first editions and tickets for the Last Night of the Proms. or, Aziraphale and Crowley find sex confusing.

So a long time ago (8 years!) this was an unfinished wip on the YJ kinkmeme and I reread it fairly frequently and I just found out it was complete and it still made me sob for Supergirl repeatedly and it's just so good.

Fun AU where Bruce never learns that Steph is Spoiler, and there are some secret identity shenanigans when he disapproves of Cass's interest in her.

"You've bloody done it," said Crowley. "You've been having sex!" He pointed at the angel accusingly. "Haven't you!" Aziraphale blinked. "Well. You know. When in Rome—" "You've been having sex in Rome?" "No! Well, I mean, technically, yes, but it's a saying, Crowley. I didn't mean just in Rome—" "You've been having sex in other places?" Crowley said. Shrieked, slightly. this is adorable!
