    Summary

    Crowley takes pride in his dating abilities. Flowers, candle-lit dinners, lines just crazy enough to work—all down to an art form.

    Aziraphale is the exact opposite of the people Crowley usually goes out with. An introvert, buttoned-up bookseller that gets excited over a new production of Shakespeare and a never-before-heard Shostakovitch record. And yet Crowley can’t just sit by and watch as his most treasured friend coyly confesses how he missed doing just that; being romanced, taken out, smiling at the flickering flame in the middle of the table and indulging in plate after plate of immaculate treats.

    Crowley knows dating. He knows flirting, and how to be a gentleman, and just how to smile to get the other’s insides to melt. What he doesn’t know is what to do when the person across the table from him is Aziraphale, laughing and eating and looking at him like he was the only person in the world.

    It’s all pretend. An arrangement to help out a friend.

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley is 40 years old and down on his luck. In the past few years he’s lost his job as a journalist, his boyfriend, his flat, and most of his self-respect. When he hears about the chance to nanny a three-year-old boy, it looks like the opportunity he’s been waiting for to turn his life around.

    At 57, bookshop owner Aziraphale Fell has resigned himself to his perpetual bachelorhood. Still, each year, he looks forward to dressing up in his vintage Father Christmas suit and turning his bookshop annex into a holiday wonderland.

    When Crowley and his young charge, Adam, attend Father Christmas’s Magical Bookshop, it’s clear the two men are attracted to one another. Over the course of the next year they become friends, important to one another in every way. The question is, can they face their fears and admit that they have fallen quite deeply in love?

    Summary

    Anthony runs The Serpent’s Spine, a radical bookshop tucked into a corner of Dalston—a haven for anarchists, queer kids, and anyone who still believes in fighting back. Locals call him “the Serpent of Dalston”: sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and just dangerous enough to be left alone.

    Ezra paints in the quiet hours of the night under the name “Aziraphale”—an anonymous street artist known for breathtaking murals of angels and half-remembered Edens. His work has gone viral more than once, but no one knows his face. He plans to keep it that way.

    One speaks in sharp truths, the other in silence and brushstrokes. Neither of them is looking for connection—but their two worlds collide when Ezra enters The Serpent’s Spine looking for books about art.

    A story about resistance, hidden identities, and falling in love in a world that keeps trying to tear you apart.

    Summary

    Christmas at Genesis Management Ltd is usually a soulless affair — no decorations, no fun novelty jumpers — but this year, they take part in a Secret Santa. But when Aziraphale pulled out that name, he was bitterly disappointed.
