Summary
This is the story of three adults to whom life hasn't always been kind, figuring out how to be kind, open, and sexy with each other.
My partner asked for a story in which Duncan and Jimmy bring a woman home together. I gave it waaay too much thought. It's Willow. I love her. I love her on the show and especially in the books, so I wove in her book life to the degree that it didn't contradict the show, then added a lil extra life.
It's set about a year after the end of season 5 and "A Fixed Point in the World". Our OTP have been happily cohabiting since then.

Summary
Another installment of how two newly-liberated ineffable beings spent their COVID year:
Doing good makes Aziraphale peppy, but it tires Crowley out! After a night of lockdown-related minor miracles, the angel reads religious poetry while the demon snoozes. Or is he just reading porn? In any case, Crowley wakes up, a little.
Please be in touch with your thoughts and feelings. Even if it's 2065. If the internet still exists and you're reading this, I wanna hear from you!

Summary
This is my version of the evening post-finale of Season 5, when Duncan shows Jimmy his 'mood board.'
“And am here tae tell you, Jimmy, you’re allowed tae want things that don’ make sense.”
Unrepentant sentimentality, talkin pish, heartfelt smut.

Summary
I read all the beautiful works in the Jimmy/Duncan tag in an embarrassingly short interval. And I thought I was going to write an angsty, windswept slow burn. But I couldn't stop thinking about elizajane's Wandering Home series, and specifically the following:
Duncan lets his eyes reverse the path of Jimmy's gaze, tracing down across Jimmy's kiss-stained lips, past the blooming hickey at the base of his throat, across the nipples that, yeah, Duncan definitely plans on seeing pierced, down the trail of pale blond hair of Jimmy's belly to the V of his open zip, the fullness there beneath thin cotton briefs.
And it turned out nothing else was getting written until Jimmy got his nipple pierced. So that's what this is. Thank you to elizajane and everybody who checks on/reads/writes this tag, it is a perfect gem of a fandom.
*edit* Just realized I also mixed in a reference to a plot point in elfin's excellent "Long, Winding Roads" series. Particularly:
‘I’m fine. I figured it couldn’t hurt more than being stabbed, and I was right.’ That's what happens when you read all the fic at once. They're great stories, ok?

Summary
She looked over at him, startled, but Abbot wasn’t looking at her face, he was looking at her hands where they rested on the table, or maybe at something past her hands that she couldn’t see. “I thought— I mean, you wear a wedding ring,” she said hesitantly.
He looked up at Mohan, keen-eyed and sharp. “Well, I wear dog tags, too,” he said.
~~~~
Abbot and Mohan's unspoken situationship gets out of hand at work, and Mohan suggests a private conversation.
Whether or not any actual talking gets done is another question, though.- Language:

Only after the embers are crushed does clarity cut through the light panic. He’s fifteen years her senior, why’s he acting like a teenager caught red handed? Plus, there’s not really anyone she could snitch to—it’s medical.

Summary
Robby groans. "Is this really what you want, Samira?" he asks after a moment. "You don't need this." Even as he says it, she can hear the unmistakable clink of a belt being unbuckled, the pull of a zipper. The sensation it gives her is akin to a power surge, knocks her flat.
"Yes," she whispers. Kicks off the blankets, shoves her shirt up to her neck. The hand she puts on her skin is cold, and the feeling of it makes her gasp. She hears Robby's breath stutter at the sound, exhale catching in his chest.
"Did he fuck you tonight?" he asks, voice strained.

Summary
"Please, I'm fifty-three years old," he said, dismissive. "I've had every type of sex there is."
They were grabbing an early dinner before Jack went in for his shift, Robby on his day off. Robby telling tales on his day off, it seemed. Jack was practically required to scoff at him. "Like hell you have."
Robby leveled him with a look. "And how would you know?"
"Because I know you. And you have never once given up control."
