    Summary

    They're professors. They're married. Their students don't realise. Cue shenanigans.

    Multiple short arcs with one-shots (and often pauses) between them. Characters continue from one arc to the next.

    Any ambiguity between being human and being occult/ethereal is entirely deliberate.

     

    Note: The author is not affiliated with Neil Gaiman and denounces his activities (see Vulture article)

    Summary

    Anthony J. Crowley, best selling author, has writer's block. He could blame the Accident, but deep down he knows his block started way before. He hasn't written anything in too long, if we choose to ignore the dozens of unsent letters addressed to the angel he lost two decades ago, when he moved to New York City.
    When his best (and only) friend convinces him to take a little vacation in a small town in Connecticut, he expects peace and quiet. He doesn't expect to see the smile that still haunts his dreams again. Apparently, small towns are full of surprises, and how late is too late?

     

    The world stops spinning on its axis or, at the very least, Crowley stops breathing. This is absolutely impossible. He forces himself to swallow, to take a deep breath, as he doesn’t want to scare this girl off. Muriel, who is still smiling, all bright and wide and just like-
    Oh, God. “A bookshop, you said?” He chokes out. This is impossible, and he’s being ridiculous. He is in London, this is just a sick coincidence and his stupid brain playing stupid games.
    “Yes, you can see it if you turn around.” Crowley doesn’t move. “It’s called A. Z. Fell Books.”
    Now, the world definitely stops spinning.

    Summary

    Aziraphale buys a quiet cottage in the middle of the English countryside. It is perfect in every way: old-style, quaint, surrounded by wilderness, with a small water feature in the back and a price to rival that of any other property he's seen. He is in love from the moment he sees it.

    But when a mysterious set of books, all written by unknown author A.J. Crowley, appears on his book shelf, Aziraphale begins to wonder if there is perhaps more to this house than he'd originally believed.

    The truth can be buried, but it cannot stay hidden forever.
