    Summary

    “Welcome home, Aziraphale,” the Metatron said warmly. White light, pure and brilliant, cleansing, flooded his vision as the elevator doors opened.

    Should home feel like a battlefield?

    — — —

    Aziraphale dives right into the work associated with being Heaven’s new Supreme Archangel, ignoring his fragile emotional state and hoping to make change that will benefit everyone: the humans, the other angels, and, most importantly, Crowley. When the Metatron begins to share plans for the Second Coming with him, he realizes it may take more than kindly-worded notes to protect all that he loves. Meanwhile, Crowley tries to find solace in whiskey, pain, and destruction. They both have a lot to learn, and, if Heaven has their way, not much time left in which to learn it.

    Summary

    Somewhere in the South Downs, there is a house for sale. The road turns to cobblestones on the way to it, and the driveway twists around a pond, a field, an overgrown orchard, and two fox dens before arriving at the tree-blanketed entrance. Abandoned years ago, the house desperately needs repair: the roof leaks, the wallpaper is peeling off in patches, the floorboards have twisted with the dampness of the springtimes, the kitchen tap never fully turns off. The house doesn’t know it, but it’s waiting for a certain buyer, one who will stumble upon it, cursing the cobblestones for roughing up his tires, squinting through dark glasses at its facade before deciding: it could work. They could find peace there.

    Summary

    This is their story: glances, confessions, all the moments that make their life together special. Big and little glimpses, highs and lows, laughter and desire and heartbreak - all written in literature, in notes and vignettes, in the margins.

    Summary

    After more than twenty years in publishing, Aziraphale Fell finds himself redundant and desperate enough to try advertising. As a senior copywriter he's paired with Crowley, a cynical art director who's spent years in the agency coasting on talent and contempt.

    They shouldn't work together well – Aziraphale with his passion, his fountain pens and faith in craft, Crowley with his irreverence, his sunglasses and studied indifference.

    But somehow they do.

    Summary

    Professional organizer Crowley has three rules: keep it minimal, stay detached, and never get involved with clients. Literature professor Aziraphale Fell is about to break all of them.

    Hired to tackle the most cluttered flat in London, Crowley expects dust, chaos, and a quick exit. What he doesn't expect is falling for a disaster of a man who argues about every teacup, reads poetry at breakfast, and somehow makes Crowley want to stay in one place for the first time in his life.

    Now if only staying were that simple.

    A GO rom-com. Sort of.
