    Summary

    Aziraphale sees sound, words and feelings as colours.

    Crowley sees the world without colour at all – only shades of grey, light, shadow and texture.

    When they meet, they begin, carefully and almost accidentally, to show each other how the world looks from their side.

    A story of perception, translation, and the courage of allowing yourself to be seen in full colour.

    One of the most unique stories I've read. Soft, tender, refreshingly mature. Can't recommend this enough.

    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.

    Lovely slow burn with one of the most original premises I've ever read. Characterisation is top notch!

    Summary

    While it's unfortunate for one’s car to break down in the middle of the countryside, the pretty-as-a-postcard Tadfield could hardly be considered the worst place Anthony J. Crowley has ever been. Of course, it doesn’t help that it looks like it hasn’t yet seen the turn of the millennia, let alone this decade, but perhaps that’s just what he needs as he crawls his way out of the Hell he’s endured for the past fifteen years. Maybe the last thirty, if he's honest with himself.

    Though he could do without the rain.

    When Aziraphale Fell happens upon him and offers him shelter from the storm in his little family-run antique repair shop, neither are expecting it to change everything. The angel with his white umbrella and his tartan bowtie doesn’t expect this mysterious stranger to be able to fill the timely vacancy in his shop or the quiet of his life, but they’ve both had experience in restoring once-beloved items back to their full glory.

    Perhaps Crowley hasn’t fallen quite so far that he wouldn’t fit in with the rest of Aziraphale’s ragtag team of eccentric restoration experts. And perhaps they may be able to turn that talent on themselves and each other, and seal the cracks in their own hearts.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Slow burn heaven 🔥 Difficult pasts unveiled little by little, an incredible amount of kindness and grace from both Crowley and Aziraphale, lots of romance, lots of fluff, lots of can-I-really-trust-you-and-these-good-things-happening-to-me angst, but it's the perfect sort. Did I mention this is slow burn heaven?

    Summary

    The White Knight, as legend had it, was a clever and formidable vigilante with a fast horse and an even faster pistol. He went from town to town rooting out injustice and cleaning up crime, and he’d recently been spotted—to the relief of the townspeople here, and to the enragement of the three men in front of the bar—on the road to this one.

    Of course, Aziraphale knew none of this at the moment. The legend had been invented one week prior by Crowley himself.

    A plotty treat that was a joy to read from start to finish. So well written, so true to the characters and so damn fun, and emotional as well.

    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?
