    Summary

    There is definitely something worse than having to plan an entire art exhibition centering around the precious inherited painting you’re too broke to hold on to with your hereditary enemy, and that is doing all of the above while being hopelessly attracted-to and most definitely despised-by said hereditary enemy.
    When art-critic Anthony J. Cleaver-Crowley finds himself in such a predicament, he can only hope entrusting Cabanel’s Nemesis, once belonging to his late grandfather, to the angelic hands of esteemed curator Aziraphale Darcy-Fell is the right thing to do.
    He’ll just have to set his prejudice towards the Darcy-Fells and his totally minor crush on the man aside. And hope he won’t make too much of a fool of himself in the process. And keep the Cleaver-Crowleys’ reputation intact.
    Which, as you can guess, Crowley can do with his eyes closed. Mostly. Given the right circumstances. He just needs to find a way to keep this work arrangement strictly professional before he and his own nemesis cancel each other out…

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley has known London longer than London has known him. Every cut-through, cab rank, one-way system, theatre crowd, and hidden churchyard.

    That’s the point of the Knowledge: the grueling, multi-part test every London black cab driver has to pass, thousands of streets and landmarks learned so thoroughly the city lives inside one’s head.

    Crowley passed it years ago.

    But when he falls for Aziraphale Fell, a soft-spoken, waistcoat-wearing examiner he has absolutely no excuse to ever encounter, Crowley does the only reasonable thing — he digs out his old birth certificate, registers under a name he hasn’t used in years, and signs up to fail the Knowledge on purpose.

    Just one Appearance, he tells himself. Answer well, withdraw gracefully, ask the man out, done in twenty minutes.

    Naturally, it doesn’t go that way.

    Summary

    Crowley’s life is going great-- he’s got a new job in a new city, a new flat that fits him well. He’s got plans to buy houseplants and everything.

    None of which explains why he's ALSO got a strange man standing in his flat claiming to be a demon. Claiming that Crowley summoned him. A strange, fluffy sort of man that he could really find attractive, if it weren't for the whiff of brimstone.

    Summary

    “Rosy is lovely! She’s the nicest snake you could ask for. Snakes get a bad reputation but people don’t even give them a chance!”

    “Oh, I’m sure your… Rosy… is a very nice snake. I’ve just always had… well, a thing about them. Are you… Will you be breeding food for her?”

    Crowley, now sullenly tugging the box into his apartment, looked up. “Yeah.”

    “Oh.”

    “Oh for crying out loud, what now?”

    “It’s just… Do you really think it’s a good idea, breeding rodents in an apartment building? I mean, what if they get out?”

    “That’s what this is for.” Crowley looked at him like he was an idiot. “So they don’t get out.”

     
    or
    Aziraphale is outraged when his snake-keeping neighbor allows a rat to escape and it ends up loose in his apartment. When Crowley tries to make it up to him it looks like a relationship could be a real possibility... if only Aziraphale could get over his fear of snakes.

    Basically just ~15k words of these two idiots trying to get to know each other while navigating the terrors of being known, all under the guise of rodent control.

    Summary

    When marketing manager Anthony Crowley gets saddled with managing his employer's corporate responsibility program, he sees it as an opportunity to improve the company's image after an embarrassing scandal. Luckily for him, that chance comes in the form of Aziraphale Eastgate, a fundraiser seeking sponsors for his charity's annual gala.

    It's a simple enough transaction, but Crowley has his own personal reasons for wanting a reputational burnishing, and when Aziraphale finds out about Crowley's past, they seize the chance to construct a different sort of arrangement.

    And then things become a bit more personal than either of them bargained for...
