Hi y'all, you've given me some excellent recs before so I'm back hoping for more.
I'm specifically looking for a fic that deals with Crowley's trust in Aziraphale suffering a blow, and them having to talk it out and work on rebuilding that trust. (Bonus if Crowley is also held accountable for telling Aziraphale what he needs, not running away, etc)
Not just a single conversation but an ongoing process that happens over time.
Any length is fine, and it can be post-S2 or dealing with a different conflict.
Hello. Here are some fics in which Crowley learns to trust Aziraphale...
Beautiful Mistakes by amtm1017 (E)
Everything was spinning, too hot, too intense. The whiskey still buzzed in Aziraphale’s veins, making him reckless. Their bodies moved together, hands grasping, legs tangling, mouths too preoccupied with kissing and gasping and biting to form actual words.
It felt dangerous, what they were doing.
It felt like something they could never come back from.
And neither of them stopped.
This was reckless. This was dangerous. They weren’t talking. They weren’t fixing things.
But right now, Aziraphale didn’t care.
He should have. He should have pulled back, should have said something to stop this, should have acknowledged the years they’d spent apart and the pain still lingering beneath the surface.
But Crowley’s hands were hot against his skin, his lips wet and bruising, his body all sharp angles and heat beneath him, and Aziraphale wanted.
OR
Aziraphale has made a few mistakes. The kind you wake up regretting. The kind you swear you won’t make again until you do. Over and over. Bad decisions, bad timing, and one very bad demon he can’t seem to stay away from.
The Scars On My Heart by Zockerbestha (E)
Now that Armageddon was adverted, Aziraphale was ready to finally be with Crowley romanticly. But Crowley wasnt ready for that yet.
Aziraphale has to make up for the scars he left first.
The Damned by LadyMango (M)
Demons were captured by angels during the Fall, and have been kept as servants ever since.
Aziraphale, feeling lonely, decides to purchase a demon. Naturally, he chooses the most frightened one.
Sinking Ships by AppleSeeds (E)
The world is practically on fire and it feels like nobody's doing anything about it, but Crowley's outlook brightens considerably when a new member arrives at his local climate action committee. Crowley is immediately smitten, and is thrilled when he and Aziraphale become fast friends, although he can't help but hope they might one day become something more.
When all of his wishes come true, Crowley starts to feel like life couldn't possibly get any better. He can picture exactly what his future is going to look like, until something happens that feels like a powerful bolt of lightning has struck and split Crowley's life right down the middle, with everything before that moment on one side, and everything that is to come - scorched, lifeless and devastated - on the other.
With the help of a counsellor, Crowley begins the difficult journey of picking up the pieces and working through what's happened. When Aziraphale unexpectedly comes back into his life, Crowley finally has the chance to get some answers, revealing that the truth is very different from what he was led to believe. Now he just needs to figure out whether that changes anything.
