🕊️ The Season of Nightingales 🕊️
🍾🎉! FIC COMPLETE !🎉🍾
IT'S DONE. 🥹
This is it.
This is the end of the story that made me get my AO3 account.
I've had this thing burning in my brain ever since the end of S2 came out in the summer of 2023, prompting the immediate need for resolution.
And now I finally have it. I hope you've enjoyed it too.
Read it from the beginning here:
🕊️The Season of Nightingales🕊️
Fic Summary:
The Second Coming looms large. In this tale following the season after affection's seed is planted with a kiss, Aziraphale must keep his vow to fix Heaven before it’s too late, without asking the impossible from Crowley. As the effort is complicated by unexpected friends, an ex-Inspector Constable, a guileful Metatron, and a Heavenly floor full of the Blessed Dead—Aziraphale and Crowley find navigating their relationship is not mutually exclusive from saving the world from Armageddon. Somewhere, somehow, there is an outcome where the Nightingales sing in Berkeley Square. The angels just need each other—and maybe a little help—to find it.
Final Chapter Excerpt:
Curtains of blossoming flowers and ivy fell over the window, casting leafy shadows against the opposite wall. The trim had been completely taken over by lengthy wandering branches that erupted from the gap beneath the door. Telescoping circles of sunshine cast a dreamy glow into the room. Angelic and demonic eyes adjusted to it, absorbing the yellow-green dawn with growing awe.

Next, I bow low at the feet of my beloved betas — u/blackjeans93, @dbacklot99, and @demonsandpieohmy. Thank you from the bottom of my black heart, for putting up with my late ass updates while providing all the TLC I needed throughout these last few months. 🖤🖤🖤
Shoutout to @wiblywoblytimeywimey754 for her linguistic skills on Agnes Nutter!
And finally, thanks to the rest of you. To you GOADers, you GO tumblrs, you readers who leave comments and kudos and encouraged me to complete this instead of leaving it at chapter one. Thanks to the ones who were cheering me on from the sidelines.
