Summary
What James finds within might as well be a different world entirely. The air crackles with the sense of something wild and wilfully disobedient, jewelled colours whirling and winking in the low light, glancing off the glasses. The music sings up through the soles of his shoes.
It’s like an image out of a fairytale: a lost glittering kingdom hidden beneath the earth.
----------
With the war over, James takes a chance on whispered rumours of a pub with less than conventional clientele to, if only briefly, be himself where no one knows him. Instead, he finds someone who does.
Better late than never.

Summary
He had opened the letter at the breakfast table, surrounded by soldiers talking boisterously despite the early hour, and plates of toast, and bowls of porridge. His own breakfast forgotten as soon as the letter was handed to him. He struggled to maintain composure, keeping his brewing excitement from spilling out. Part of him had been concerned that he hadn’t heard from Havers for a long while, but another part reveled in the anticipation. It did not take him long to read the letter so his excitement died almost as quickly as it came. His heart dropped and his brow furrowed. The desire to comfort Anthony became physical pain, a vice tightened in his chest. No noise could penetrate him, no other desire or need to be anywhere but with him. If he believed it would make a difference, he would have dropped to his knees and prayed to God right then and there to bring Anthony back to him.
[Or: the war has torn Cap and Havers apart but they continue their love story through letters: reminiscing of home and the moments they shared. Their relationship develops over the years, until the war finally ends and they're able to get the happy ending that they dreamed of.]

Summary
Thomas has always been prone to bouts of melancholy, since he was a child. Unfortunately, that particular problem stays with him even in death. What’s worse, there’s the addition of physical pain from the blasted bullet wound.
Two hundred years of pain later, he gets some help.
Basically, I’m convinced that Thomas has depression and I want to write some hurt/comfort about it.

Summary
When she reached the bottom she yelled, “Thomas, stop!”
He paused on the landing but his recitation didn’t stop. Couldn’t. Impossible. Whenever he wasn’t pouring out odes of longing his heart was filling with them until they became a flood. The best he could do was skip to the poem’s end, re-announcing the thesis of his afterlife since the day she’d arrived, “I worship thee in love, my Alison!”
She turned, meeting his blunt fervor with half the syllables, half the decibels, and even blunter force, “No you don’t, Thomas.”
[After Episode 2 of Series 2 ("About Last Night") Alison finally loses her temper with Thomas, and they take a walk to try to figure out how to function as friends.]

Aziraphale would always remember the first time he heard the music, tendrils of song winding through the night air like a droplet of ink spilled into water, gently reaching out, probing, spreading until it seemed to fill the entire world.
He followed its beckoning call.

Summary
Crowley, botany student and professional worrier, is harboring a massive, secret crush on his new roommate. Aziraphale, on the other hand, is more clueless than he is given credit for. Will these two ever figure it out, or is Crowley doomed to a life of pining? A 5+1-style fic with a whole lot of fluff and intentionally minimal angst. Rated M for the first few chapters, but will be upgraded to E if Crowley ever gets his way…

Summary
Music critic Aziraphale Fell is trying to break into the world of television, when he is signed to make a documentary about former-rockstar-turned-composer Anthony Crowley. It’s been eleven years since Aziraphale’s disastrous review of Crowley’s debut opera nipped his classical music career in the bud. He can only hope that Crowley will get over his admittedly justified grudge to make the TV show a success.
A classical music sex comedy. Yes, really.

Summary
When a man finds himself at the end of a lonely road, it’s easy for him to look back on the choices he’s made and wonder where it all went wrong.
For Anthony J. Crowley, there was no doubt that his awful life was the result of several poor decisions made in the heat of the moment and met with instant regret. He was staring down the barrel of fifty years old, twice divorced and drowning in spousal maintenance, and the only assets he truly owned were a jalopy of a car and a run-down flower shop due for foreclosure at any moment.
Crowley knew he deserved the terrible life he lived, and expected nothing would change. He had his failing shop and he had his whiskey, and that's as good as things were going to get.
Until a chance encounter with an eccentric baker next door to his burgeoning business changes the course of his future with a smile, and the sweetest pastry Crowley has ever tasted in his life...

Summary
Aziraphale has problems. No one needs to tell him so, he's well aware that his issues are many and in-between. He's an agoraphobic shut-in with a bad back and a sad past. It's a rule that, to most, he isn't much worth the effort of getting to know. Crowley doesn't seem to abide by any of that. He's an enigmatic gardener with a green thumb and a smile a thousand miles wide. It's something like love at first sight; if that included a panic attack and a minor foray into bird watching.
Aziraphale is smitten, now if only he could get past his fears and admit it.

Crowley is starting over in his mid-30s, leaving behind his troubled past to teach physics at a boarding school. He thinks he can just about cope with the school's strict policies—which prohibit things like sex outside of marriage—until he meets Az, the English teacher who looks like an angel.

Postcards From Paris by ghostrat

Summary
Crowley has just moved into his Mayfair apartment and finds a postcard addressed to the previous tenant. With no return address, he's left to collect and read the mysterious A.Z.F.'s adventures across Europe, where he hunts for bizarre bibles and rates ridiculously expensive wine in his free time. The question is: How will A.Z.F. react when Crowley finally gets his return address and writes back?
---
It was different, he knew, to accidentally read someone else’s postcard versus intentionally perusing one in place of good newspaper over coffee. Crowley decided he was allowed that indecency, to balance out the good deed of safeguarding the mail in the first place.
He kicked his feet up onto his desk, scooped up the takeaway coffee that was brought around by their newest intern, and settled in to read some of the most densely crowded handwriting he’d ever laid eyes on.
