  1. Summary

    A lonely Senior Lecturer and an angry book-loving solicitor find each other - and love - through secret, forbidden notes tucked into priceless London Library books.

    This is their story: glances, confessions, all the moments that make their life together special. Big and little glimpses, highs and lows, laughter and desire and heartbreak - all written in literature, in notes and vignettes, in the margins.

    Summary

    London based Professor Aziraphale Fell is about to embark on a twelve week field expedition to take the final step in his current research project. This time, he will be joined by Anthony Crowley, a sought after wildlife cinematographer, so they can turn his research into what will hopefully be an award winning documentary.

    Summary

    Dick magnet and astrophysicist Anthony J. Crowley has his life all figured out: success in his field, an endless supply of meaningless one-night-stands to fulfill his sexual needs, and Aziraphale Fell – his best friend of twenty-years, only failed-hook-up-in-his-record and favourite person on every known planet – for everything else.
    Sure, he’s got his Dark Days like everyone else, and he can’t say “I love you” to anyone that isn’t an animal, and sometimes he feels like there could be more to life than constantly skimming the surface of things, but all in all he’s happy with what he has.
    That is until Aziraphale comes back from Scotland and announces out of the blue that he’s engaged to be married and asks Crowley to be his best man slash maid of honour.

    Among traitorous kilts, feral godmothers, angelic baby goats, and unnervingly perfect fiancés, the very real prospect of Aziraphale’s happiness not including him forces Crowley to reckon with some pretty hard truths he’s been ignoring all his life.
    Will he go along with the wedding and carry out his duties as MOH? Or is he brave enough to go after Aziraphale and show him that their happiness is one and the same? And what if it’s too little too late?

    Summary

    All things considered, Aziraphale Fell is doing a good (half-decent?) job. He’s been raising Adam, his nephew, for three years now and he’s almost figured out the mysterious and complicated art of parenting (almost).
    So it really doesn’t help that Adam and the daughter of the new single dad in Tadfield seem hell-bent on not going along. It also doesn’t help that said new single dad is rather… well, dashing, as it were. And annoying. But mostly dashing. No wonder Mr Crowley works as a model.
    How very inconvenient that, when Adam and Pepper are threatened with expulsion, Mr Crowley suggests he and Aziraphale join forces to help settle their kids’ differences.
    It’s a good idea and it’s not like Aziraphale even likes the man, so there won’t be any distractions. Why, he doesn’t even think about Mr Crowley that often. Almost never really. Well…

    Summary

    He’s skimming over the glittering water of Aethera, silent, dead, in a long hop like a skipping stone, when he sees it. There! There’s something there, distant but not too far.

    A long strip of pale beach, and the stretch of rocky land off behind that.

    Land. Land!

    I'm sorry, that's the worst summary I've ever written. I promise this fic is sweeter than it sounds.
