There were super weird plots, super weird storytelling ways and all the characters were just a little bit weirder than the others. Just perfectness.
So. I did a thing where I thought it would be awesome idea to read fanfiction because there is a shit ton of it. Like a lot. A lot lot. So. This is me diving into the deep end and just maybe not surviving it. But this is life and life (fanfiction) is suppose to be fun and exciting. Also. I may have stashed one multichapter fic for later blogging, so this does not contain the five (plus one) best fics I have found so far.
So have fun with these 5 + 1 fics I chose this time.
Birds of a Feather by idiopathicsmile
“Isn’t this nice?” says Aziraphale with badly feigned casualness the next time Crowley stops by for a late night drink.I kind of like their miscommunications. Because.. Yeah okay. It is kind of cliche how they think that the other thinks something but can't really talk about before it becomes a huge problem. But somehow these two have spent so much time together that it feels like it couldn't happen that often, even when they don't really talk they still understand each other. Or something. No idea how to explain it but something like that.
Crowley is all set to reply, words lined up in his mouth waiting to go, when Aziraphale adds,
“I mean, all of the books and furniture and bottles of wine and things?”
Aziraphale nests. Crowley relearns some crucial facts about angelic courtship rituals.
You're the Only Prayer I Need by Kedreeva
Crowley had, in the six thousand years Aziraphale had known him, shed his skin exactly twice that Aziraphale knew of. Both times he had disappeared without a trace, having retreated somewhere very safe and very, very unknown to hide while he was so vulnerable, and Aziraphale had never thought to ask beyond that information. Everyone was, he had supposed at the time, entitled to their secrets.I like the idea that Crowley controls water with fear. For some reason, I really love that idea. I also love the idea that because he is a demon the magic he has is actually him controlling stuff with fear. I am so in love with that idea. Like please people, write about that. In the mean time I will love the fic where he just controls water (and plants) with fear.
The problem was that he had stumbled directly into this secret now, and there was hardly a graceful way out of it.
Duh by ToEdenandBackAgain
Nanny, Warlock had decided, was a hypocrite.First of all, there is a sequel to this which is also awesome. But I gotta love Warlock in this. His sneakiness and Crowley's way of handling it. The whole balance of good and not-so-good in here I just so juicy and perfect. Somehow this just sums their whole relationship from someone else's point of view.
Wings and How to Hide Them by triedunture
Crowley's been annoyingly in love for six thousand years. What's another lifetime between friends?What I like about this is that somehow in here Aziraphale is not so good. In a way. He has this vibe that he can do whatever he wants whenever he wants and he is not as naive as everyone seems to think. To be honest, you need to be a little bit rebel to be friends (or more) with Crowley but here it really shows. He is still good in his core and all that but the rebel is in front and I like that a lot.
Or: Aziraphale definitely fucks and isn't that just perfect?
A Home at the Beginning of the World by stereobone
"Oh," Aziraphale says. "I think Crowley might have moved in with me."This was the first fic I read. And I couldn't stop smiling throughout the fic. So this was also the moment that I knew I was hooked. Okay. I knew I was hooked while watching this awesome show but this just made it more certain. Yup. This just brightened my day.
The + 1 part is one of these things that I am not even sure what they are. But its still awesome!

CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.To be honest I have no words for this. Seriously. This is one of those things that I just open because my mind is just going "what the fuck is this?" and curiosity still hasn't killed me. So maybe I am doing something right. I guess so at least.
AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.

Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.
But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?
