Hellooo, first of all thank you, I've found so many good fics in this blog it's insane ❤️❤️
Second of all, do you have recommendations of fics where Aziraphale and Crowley are exes who are still in love? I only found Ink Blots and Forget Me Nots, which is INSANELY good and recommended, but the rest are fics in which they were together when they were young and then spent 10 years or so without seeing each other, and that's amazing but I kinda want the yearning that comes with exes who are still in love and have to coexist
Hiiii. Here are some fics where they are in each other's lives post-break up to add to our #getting back together tag...
Shut Up Kiss Me Hold Me Tight by wyrmy (M)
Aziraphale and Crowley have had an Arrangement in place ever since their divorce 15 years ago. They're absolutely, strictly friends (with rather copious benefits) and they'll never, ever be anything else ever again. Or will they?
This is fanfic. Of course they will.

Anthony J. Crowley hated what he was doing, but it was almost like he couldn't control his body as he walked into Aziraphale's restaurant. Once, it had been like coming home, stepping in here. Now, after their breakup, he almost felt like a demon walking on consecrated ground.

Aziraphale and Crowley broke up.
Unfortunately, they also booked a luxury ski resort New Year’s trip months ago, complete with a couples-only chalet, spa treatments, and aggressively romantic experiences that cannot be cancelled.
What was meant to be a celebration becomes a reckoning and maybe, if they’re brave enough, a second chance.

Did the angel just insinuate-? Crowley grinned at him. Might as well take the invitation. “Well, I’d love to hear it one day over a glass of wine, then,” the gamble worked because Aziraphale beamed and wiggled. His lips parted and his eyes focused on Crowley’s sunglasses.
“That would be delightful, Crowley,” his name rolled off Aziraphale’s tongue like it was a delicious chocolate raspberry truffle.
In short, Crowley moves in next door to Aziraphale and sparks fly. And then so much miscommunication begins to happen and assumptions are made and things get very rocky indeed.
(Because sometimes these two share a brain cell.)
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.
And the one your mentioned...
Ink Blots and Forget-Me-Nots by gutsandglitter (T)
Ninth Circle Ink was hardly more than a stone’s throw from the flower shop; Aziraphale knew from past experience that it took less than thirty seconds to go from door to door (forty-five if you had to wait for a car to pass). It had been a perfect arrangement in the beginning, when they were just starting out.
Owning a flower shop across the street from your boyfriend's tattoo parlor is fun and adorable. Owning a flower shop across the street from your ex-boyfriend's tattoo parlor? Not so much.
