Sorry if this has been asked before, but do you know any fics where Aziraphale and/or Crowley are... not white? I see a lot of diversity in terms of their genders, orientations, body types, etc, but not much racial/ethnic diversity at all. Bonus points if the fic actually engages with the culture in question, but honestly I'd settle for anything that doesn't wax poetic about pale skin and blond/red hair. It's even fine if it's just non-white corporations in canon-adjacent fics! Thanks <3
I can’t find many fics with explicitly non-white Aziraphale and/or Crowley, anon. It’s a shame. I have a few for you here, where the fics engage (or do not engage) with race and ethnicity to varying degrees. I hope you find something you like...
Heaven Help Me by AJfanfic (T)
"Were you worried about me?”
“I shouldn’t be, but...I don’t like the risks you take, sometimes.”
Crowley smiled slowly, “You were. You.”
Crowley gets harassed while high out of his mind, and Aziraphale comes to his rescue. They've got very different ideas of what comes next, but Aziraphale always gets his way.

Where do demons go when they die?
Lavender by MagnetoTheMagnificent (NR)
Anathema Device and Sarah Young are a lesbian couple in 1870s London. In order to avoid suspicion, they form an arrangement with bachelors Alva Rolf and Anthony Crowley, who are gay, single, and skeptical of forming new relationships.
Let Me Rest In Your Heart (I Belong Here With You) by bafflinghaze (M)
Crowley thinks he has time and he’s trying to take it slow. But when a new agent from Heaven comes down and monopolises Aziraphale's time—whom Aziraphale seems to like quite a lot—Crowley finds himself lost by the wayside.
Just Before the Christians Rang Their Bells by MagnetoTheMagnificent (NR)
Before the Spanish Inquisition, homosexuality was fairly tolerated and even praised in Islamic and Jewish Spain, known then as Al-Andalus. Jews and Muslims lived in relative tranquility, and were allies. In 1492, Grenada, the last Muslim stronghold in Spain fell, and the Spanish Inquisition expelled all the Jews and Muslims from Spain. We have yet to know the true scale of the lives and culture lost then.
Antonio Carmeli (Crowley) and Israfil al-Malak (Aziraphale) are two lovers who live in these tumultuous times.
Anton and Ezra, childhood friends who lost touch, meet again in Johannesburg as young adults, and a lifelong friendship wants to blossom into something more. One white, one brown, both men: everything in their world says they can’t be together.
A Good Omens Human AU, taking place in South Africa during the Apartheid years.
Do our followers know of any other fics with POC Aziraphale or Crowley?
