The world ended a year ago.
Or at least, it was supposed to.
Since saving all-existence Crowley has resided within the streets of Soho, in a bookshop owned by the kind-hearted Aziraphale. Angel and Demon live in peace, in a small corner of life they have carved out, and protected, for each other. Prosperity has finally reached them both, after 6,000 years of torment, and for the first time the future looks no only stable but bright. In their comfort the ineffable pair thrive, sharing late nights and morning sunrises.
Yet something is lurking, something prowling in the shadows. A soul, a hunter, a predator is lingering. Such a presence can be felt, a darkness shrouding Aziraphale's safe haven- and it is growing ever closer.
Soon their way of life will once more find itself under threat, and as new faces, and old appear within the chaos, Aziraphale and Crowley are forced to question the very fibres of life itself, to question the teachings they were raised so strongly to believed- and perhaps each other.
Hold tight, Dear Reader, for something wicked this way comes.
-Not based on the Good Omens book or anything that happens in the series, more an AU and new story (no season two spoilers)-

Enjoy :D
I forgive you.
Aziraphale watched as Crowley walked out the door. He'd seen the demon walk out of the bookshop a million times, always knowing that he'd walk right back in the same door tomorrow.
This time, the door closed with a stifling sense of irrevocability.
This time, Crowley wasn't just walking out of his bookshop.
This time, Crowley was walking out of his life.
I forgive you.
Foolish. Stupid. Cruel.
Those hadn't been the words sitting at the tip of his tongue. Far from it.
But it didn't matter. Those had been the words he spoke, and he couldn't take them back now.
~oOo~
Or, the one where Aziraphale realises he needs to ask Crowley's forgiveness this time. Meanwhile, Crowley is just trying to make the Bentley stop playing Taylor Swift.
