    Summary

    1909. Edwardian London, where love is criminal and literature is dangerous.

    Mr. Aziraphale Fell runs a respectable Soho bookshop with secrets hidden behind false shelves. Mr. Anthony Crowley writes scandalous poetry much too honest for publication. When they meet over a forbidden copy of Baudelaire, they recognize something dangerous and captivating in each other: the refusal to be silent.

    Together, they publish a time bomb of a book. Second Circle – forty-two poems about queer love and resistance that could send them both to prison.

    This is the story of what that choice costs them – and why it was worth it.

    Summary

    Inn proprietor Aziraphale finds Crowley insufferable. The man is rude and arrogant.
    Cafe owner Crowley despises Aziraphale. The man is posh and fussy.
    When the National Witch Association is snowed in at Heathrow Airport and is unable to attend the Solstice Dinner event that they booked and paid for, Aziraphale decides to take the chance and invite the lovely people of Tadfield to spend the night at the Inn. If he extends the invitation to Crowley and his niece, it's only out of kindness towards the latter.
    Certainly it isn't because he's in any way attracted to Crowley, no. No.

    The premise of this story is very loosely based on one of our (both, Di’s and Hogs’s) favourite Gilmore Girls episodes The Bracebridge Dinner. You absolutely don't have to be familiar with the show to enjoy this fic, but if you are you might recognise a few references and Easter eggs. No, RP Taylor is not a misspelling. Apart from the bare premise and some references, the two stories don't really have much in common.

    Summary

    Aziraphale did not want to head home for Christmas. Spending the entirety of the holidays with his Mother and siblings seemed, if you asked him, like a special version of Hell carved out just for him. Making up a boyfriend that he was spending the season with seemed like a perfect excuse (and no, he wasn't going to think too hard about why he had provided Crowley's name), until his Mother had insisted they should both come.

    "It'd be great to meet him!"

    Aziraphale had no idea how he was going to explain this to the coffee shop owner he'd had a crush on for the last two years, much less convince him to take part, but he was about to find out.

    or

    It's Christmas time, and our ineffable idiots are faking a relationship while definitely not being totally, completely head over heels for each other.

    Summary

    When actor Anthony Crowley is invited to take part in a special celebrity edition of a certain British baking competition, he agrees immediately. It’s for a good cause, after all. It has nothing to do with his long-standing crush on one of the show’s judges, professional baker Aziraphale East.

    Okay, fine. It has a little bit to do with Aziraphale. Every time they’ve crossed paths, Crowley has walked away more smitten than the last, but he can’t seem to seal the deal. With only two days in the tent, can he whip up something scrumptious enough to convince Aziraphale to take a chance on Crowley – and maybe even on love?
