Summary
Bad Omens, being a narrative of certain events occurring in the last 11 years of human history, in strict opposition to The Nice and Dubious Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch.
or
The angel Aziraphale and the demon Crowley have nothing whatsoever in common, except that they both loathe the Earth almost as much as they loathe each other. They have to work together if they want to attempt to cause Armageddon ahead of schedule.

Summary
After everything, Aziraphale and Crowley, by unspoken agreement, begin sharing their lives.
---
Why? Aziraphale wanted to ask him, why millennia of the way things were, and now this?But while Crowley seemed to have little issue upending every unspoken rule they’d ever written for themselves, Aziraphale was not so flexible, and they had spent thousands of years never quite addressing whatever it was this had stemmed from. Words, Aziraphale had always felt, were for bickering about where to eat for lunch, or hashing out ontological debates, or other trivial nonsense; there was no need to trifle with the imprecision of language, with phrasing and the possibility of being misconstrued, when it came to important matters if the other person simply understood, without needing it said. Six thousand years ago, when Aziraphale had met Crowley on the wall of Eden, watching the first two humans set out to begin the rest of history, something deep within him, more central even than his Grace, had thought, oh, it’s you, and that had been enough for him--for both of them, he assumed--for three millennia.
However much he wanted to ask, he didn’t know how. The words simply weren’t there.

Summary
It was a truth universally acknowledged that an angel in possession of no memory must be in want of a wife.
No, that was the wrong book. The wrong line. Aziraphale frowned.
“What,” the gentleman before him asked, “and I mean what, are you doing here?”
-----------------
Or, two years after things fall apart, Aziraphale shows up at Crowley's doorstep without his memories. The easy part is getting it back, the hard part is getting them back together.
(Update: now featuring a cover by the wonderful @ineffableclassics!)

Summary
“I just… wanted to do good. Create the Heaven I’d been told to love, the one I thought was real from the moment I honed a halo. But I haven’t resided in Heaven for over six thousand years and it’s— it’s so— I can’t believe I’ve forgotten how—”
“Lonely it is?” Crowley met the angel’s eyes head on, holding himself there for the very first time since Aziraphale’s arrival.
Aziraphale could hardly breathe beneath the weight of it, the rush of honest attention, and all those years of yearning poured fast to the floodgates. Pounded impatiently at the lock bounded doors. This was the feeling he’d missed. The one he’d wished on and dreamed about and written sonnets over.
This was everything.

Summary
***SPOILERS FOR GOOD OMENS SEASON 3***
People had their ideas about the afterlife. Some people thought souls came back in different forms. Other people thought souls turn back into pure atoms. Others shrugged and went, 'Eh, nothing, probably'. Those people, Anthony suspected, had yet to lose the love of their life and didn't have the desperate hope that they might reunite.
In a world without a Heaven or a Hell, there were no concepts of pearly gates or flaming archways. No angels, no demons. Made the post-mortem options limited, not that anyone knew that.
Despite being a man of science, Anthony wasn't so bound by the scientific method that he couldn't indulge in a little wishful thinking that he might see Asa again somehow, some way, in some fantasy world.
Later at his funeral, their friends and loved ones agreed with him. They, too, hoped he and Asa were together somewhere beyond the stars Anthony loved so well. Somehow. Some way.
If only they knew how bang-on they were.
