Infinite possibilities! 6000 years of untold Ineffable stories! Anything could have happened at any time. Even though it feels a bit odd to consider fics set in the second half of the 20th century as 'through the ages', I've decided to include here any fic set before the events of the book/S1. This might change as the list grows. As always, feel free to reblog with more (self)recs!
From Whose Womb Came The Ice? By Werpiper. Rated G, 9k. P. Dec 25.
This lovely story is set immediately after the events narrated in A Companion To Owls and is about the importance of keeping asking questions and looking for answers. We get to know Sitis, Ennon, Keziah and Jemimah better as they get to know the snow.
Lap Of Luxury, by Savyl. Rated T, 4k. P. Jan 26.
I am so blessed that my friend wrote this lovely, romantic and funny in-universe story for me! I can’t begin to tell you how much I love it! The humour is outstanding as always in Savyl’s stories, and their love and bravery are so heartwarming! Aziraphale and Crowley are relaxing in the bookshop. When they get too close for heaven and hell’s liking, Soho is hit by a thunderstorm.
Giddy Up, by KaeRaeSketches, NaturallyTeal. Rated E, 11k. P. Jan 26
Lovely through the ages in-universe fic set in 1871. Aziraphale is riding a sleigh in the West Siberian Plain when all of a sudden he comes across Crowley in need of a ride. A story of love, lust, temptation and endless pining, with the sweetest epilogue.
The Least Eligible Bachelor, by fellshish. Rated E, 37k. P. May 26.
In-universe canon divergent/pre-armageddon fic, full of humour, longing and incredibly hot sex scenes. Aziraphale takes part in a reality TV show where he’s a bachelor who has to be wooed by the contestants. The contestants are, of course, demons. There will be roses, there will be bananas, there will be snakes, there will be love. This fic gave me early-canon vibes, which I was and still am yearning, and I’m grateful for them. As usual, this author has the beautiful ability to make you laugh and cry in the same sentence, and feel all the emotions in-between. Highly recommended!
A Masquerade In Every Sense Of The Word, by The_Rogue_Bard. Rated G, 500 words. P. Oct 24.
Lovely and funny through the ages fic. Aziraphale is at a masquerade ball talking with Oscar Wilde. Or, is he? Sweet and short, featuring just-enough-of-a-bastard Aziraphale.
Knight Of Swords and Knight Of Swords (Reversed), by ireallyneedmoretea. Both rated G, 666 words each. P. Jun 26.
Lovely canon compliant fics inspired by the tarot card Knight of Swords, which, I learned in the author’s note, signifies a man or a woman on a mission. Set after the 537AD scene, these fics imagine what could have happened at the court of king Arthur and what happens next. Funny and sweet!
The Weather Outside Is Frightful, by IneffableMoot, Savil. Rated T, 5k. P. Dec 25.
Funny and sweet pre canon story in which Crowley and Aziraphale exchange gifts and challenge each other to a duel on Christmas day. The humour is great as always with this writer, and the art is lovely!
Miracles On The No 34 Bus, by CuriousPupsicle. Rated G, 6k. P. Nov 25.
This story is set in 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Aziraphale is sent to New Orleans to observe the humans, but he uses miracles to help them instead. As a punishment, Gabriel temporarily suspends his ability to perform miracles and instructs him to go back to London the human way. What do you know, our angel doesn’t need superpowers to make miracles, after all! Very sweet.
Genesis, by Dbacklot99. Rated M, 690 words. P. Feb. 25.
Abel and Cain from the point of view of the angel and the demon who were stationed on earth. This fic reminded me a lot of A Companion To Owls both in plot and tone and it was a pleasure to read.
Give A Man A Mask, by Ventriloki (feral_but_fluffy). Rated T, 5k. P. Oct 23.
Beautiful and heartbreaking through the ages fic. Aziraphale is taking part in a carnival party in Venice when he's approached by a man wearing a mask and a costume so that no part of him is at all visible. They start chatting and walk away from the main hall. The man reminds Aziraphale of Crowley, but he's not Crowley. But it could be. But it's not. But it could be. Oh, the longing in this fic! Argh!
Human Bonding Rituals As Emulated By An Ethereal/Occult Dyad, by graywings. Rated T, 1,2k. P. Sep 25.
Hilarious crack fic! It is narrated in the form of a study by God, Almighty; Christ, Jesus; Spirit, Holy on whether Aziraphale and Crowley are displaying human-like courting behaviour during their meeting in 1793. I laughed from the first word to the last, including the notes!
Floating Through A Dark, Blue Sky, by AlwaysBeMyBaby, AlwaysTuesdayToday, shatteredwriters. Rated G, 6k. P. Sep 25.
A beautifully written and at times heartbreaking exchange of letters between Aziraphale and Crowley from 1827 to 1967, with beautiful artwork by AlwaysTuesdayToday. Some of the letters were sent, others remained unsent and the stark difference in tone between the sent and unsent letters is heartshattering. The writers do a magnificent job of taking all the deep feelings running through the unsent letters, whether they are love or anger, boldness or fear, and disguise them as a business-like conversation in the sent letters. Some truly poetic moments in this fiction, I highly recommend it.
