Summary
“Aziraphale, hello. It’s er, been a long time.”
“Yes, dreadfully long. You look different.” He immediately coloured in evident embarrassment. “I mean, of course you look different, as do I of course, I didn’t mean bad different, that is to say…”
Something inside of Crowley, something that had been in a deep freeze for several eons, was starting to thaw. It was letting little bits and pieces of familiarity break loose to float back into their rightful places in his soul. One of those pieces, those round, blue eyes, suddenly snapped into place, and he felt a corresponding wave of long-forgotten feeling wash through him. Aziraphale is anxious. Make Aziraphale happy.
“Yeah,” he interrupted. “D’you wanna… get a coffee or something?”
***
Crowley and Aziraphale meet by chance on the street. They've met before, in their youth, in a different life. Some difficult things have happened since then. Will they be able to find their way back to each other and to themselves?
A Good Omens human AU.

Summary
He had to get himself under control. Aziraphale needed him. That prick boyfriend of his drained so much of Aziraphale's time and energy, dampened so much of the gentle, beaming happiness that Crowley had always adored about him. He needed Crowley there to support him, to do the things a best friend should be there to do.
And, well, if Crowley needed him too, if he had to subsume his own pain to focus on making Aziraphale happy, that was something he could bear quietly. He could do it for his angel.
Crowley groaned and dropped his head against the tiled wall of the shower. His angel. He had to stop thinking of him like that.

Summary
It seemed that Lestrade's salt-and-pepper hair grew in the same on his face as it did on his head. His beard was bristly, patchy, viscerally appealing in a way that had little to do with aesthetics and more to do with masculine sensuality. Mycroft was stood rapt, conjuring up the rough brush of the beard against his lips without having moved an inch. His apprehension dropped away, lost behind a painful stab of want.
Christmas, when he and Lestrade had both been strong-armed into growing beards for a cause, proved to be the turning point for the whole desperate, shattering, uncomfortable scenario.

Summary
When Crowley discovers that both he and his flatmate, Aziraphale, enjoy spending quality time naked in their flat, he’s rather proud of himself for coming up with an arrangement he thinks will suit both their needs. After all, they’re adults. They can handle a bit of casual nudity…right?
Written for r/GoodOmensAfterDark's Streak Week, a celebration of gratuitous nudity.
