    Summary

    Zee slipped back into his flat and closed the door quietly.

    This had been a mistake. He could feel the edges of his carefully pasted-together life starting to curl, exposing the raw undersides. It was a good thing he was near the end of his current manuscript, because he needed to be as shut-in as possible. Allow some distance between the conversation tonight and the next time he spoke with Crowley. Let the spark of this connection fizzle out before it took root.

    ***
    Zee (Aziraphale) Marsh is a widowed hermit who secretly writes bestselling romance novels under the pseudonym Bella Swansea. His life is rigorously controlled until his new downstairs neighbor arrives. Anthony Crowley causes something to come alive in Zee that he hasn't seen in over twenty years, but Crowley brings with him some of his own very dark secrets.

    Summary

    Popular queer romance author, A.Z. Fell, has been lying about having a husband and a happy marriage for years. Longing to escape a string of failed relationships and looking for a fresh start, Aziraphale moves into the cottage left to him by his Great Aunt Agnes. When a TV adaptation of one of his books leads to sudden popularity and throws him into the limelight, his fans (and the press) are eager to catch a glimpse of Aziraphale's own mysterious leading man. Unfortunately, he still has to cast someone for that role. Enter the handsome gardener…

    Under Crowley's meticulous care the cottage's neglected garden slowly comes back to life, and Aziraphale finds himself writing the most important love story he'll ever write: his own

    Summary

    Aziraphale Fell is bone-achingly lonely. He has his collection of curious, old books and enough money to live quite comfortably for the rest of his life without earning another quid. But no one truly knows him, and he spends most days wrestling with the uneasy sensation of being a fraud in his own story. It’s desperation that drives him to hire an escort on his birthday, hoping to happily exist as himself for just one night.

    Anthony Crowley shed his blue-blood life like a too-tight skin. He’s living by his own rules, fixing motorbikes and making money as an escort…which suits him perfectly, except for when he’s feeling terribly alone. One night there’s a call out of the blue. The voice on the other end is prim and fumbling, asking him if he’d like to meet up…just for the evening, money is not a problem. And Crowley can’t help but be very, very intrigued.

    A Pretty Woman retelling, but make it ineffable.

    Summary

    All things considered, Aziraphale Fell is doing a good (half-decent?) job. He’s been raising Adam, his nephew, for three years now and he’s almost figured out the mysterious and complicated art of parenting (almost).
    So it really doesn’t help that Adam and the daughter of the new single dad in Tadfield seem hell-bent on not going along. It also doesn’t help that said new single dad is rather… well, dashing, as it were. And annoying. But mostly dashing. No wonder Mr Crowley works as a model.
    How very inconvenient that, when Adam and Pepper are threatened with expulsion, Mr Crowley suggests he and Aziraphale join forces to help settle their kids’ differences.
    It’s a good idea and it’s not like Aziraphale even likes the man, so there won’t be any distractions. Why, he doesn’t even think about Mr Crowley that often. Almost never really. Well…
