I’m having such fun with this. Here is yet another revision to my A/C fic rec list. I’ve actually TAKEN STUFF OFF because it’s gotten too long so am paring it down to one fic per author. Many of these authors are artists with a massive body of work so if you like a fic I recommend digging!

Crowley/Aziraphale fic rec list
Living
Arrangements by afrai (M) - This has been my favorite Good Omens fic
for
many, many years. It’s a First Time fic and I just find it so
believable. Be
careful though, it’s a heartbreaker. Synopsis: Aziraphale becomes human
as
retribution for his role in certain Events. (If you read this and want
to talk about the ending, feel free to message me, I have a Lot Of
Thoughts.)
Not
Too Late by maniacalmole (G) - This has gotta be a close second. There is
nothing else really like this in the fandom. Also, it has some fantastic
one-liners. Could be read as gen, but why would you? Synopsis: Crowley and
Aziraphale don’t meet until just before the End Times. Everything is different
when you subtract 6,000 years. (Or is it?)
Theatrical
Sins by Aria (G) - I don’t know why I love this one so much, but I do. It
has amazing characterization and handles the slash (oh yes, it’s there) with an
extremely light touch. Synopsis: Crowley and Aziraphale attend the theater
throughout the years.
Crown
of Thorns: The Walls, The Wainscot, and the Mouse by irisbleufic (E) - If
you ever see an A/C fic rec list without this on it, something’s gone quite
wrong. Synopsis: Crowley and Aziraphale move into that cottage on the South
Downs and begin figuring out just what they mean to each other (and the many
new people around them). This ate a couple of my weekends last fall.
Modern
Love by punkfaery (T) – One of the few fics that really captures the gravitas
of A&C’s immortality. Really lovely; a bit bloody, but truthful. Synopsis: Crowley,
Aziraphale, and a series of significant moments from 1204 to 2015.
Re-Recalled
by Jennistar (T) - this one is so cute, damn. If you need a feel-good
fic tied up with a warm fuzzy bow then this is the one for you. Also,
bonus, written in the exact style of the novel itself, IMO. Synopsis:
Aziraphale is discorporated in the middle of an argument. Everything
goes badly, until it doesn’t.
such surpassing brightness
by Handful_of_Silence (G) – A new challenger enters the ring!! You guys. This
is brand spanking new and it is so good oh my God. Synopsis: Aziraphale is the
patron saint of queers and Crowley has a lot of complex feelings about it.
Eyes Closed by tinsnip (M) - this fic will fuck you up. I’m furious about it. I thought about this fic for DAYS after I read it. Read it and then help me lobby the author to fix it please. Synopsis: Aziraphale makes love with his eyes closed.
Form and Function by SleepsWithCoyotes (M) - I avoided this fic for so long because I was nervous… but I don’t know why I was nervous, because the execution is absolutely flawless. Synopsis: the AU where Crowley is a dragon.
*
an anomaly:
Collide by serpensortia (E) - ok this is technically adult!Adam/Crowley (NO, WAIT, I KNOW) with the barest breath of A/C, which I am morally opposed to EXCEPT that this little fic is delicious. Synopsis: Adam always gets what he wants.
*
Finally, while this for sure doesn’t deserve such company, have a shameless
self-promote as well.
Final Temptation by
rfsmiley (M) - I cannot believe I did this but I took a crack at First Time fic
and put it online ahhh Synopsis: It doesn’t occur to Crowley to
tempt Aziraphale until approximately 5,900 years into their relationship.
