Ask Game!

First kiss

Gabriel watched her as she spoke, taking a sip of his tea as she explained the latest topic she found interesting. He could listen to her for hours. She was beautiful and interesting and so smart, he smiled behind his cup.

"Lani?"

Nohealani blinked, looking at him and tilting her head slightly. "Yeah? What?"

He had to summon the courage, swallowing the lump in his throat. He could do this, he got it. He took a deep breath as she grew steadily more confused by his silence and weird expression.

"May I kiss you?"

Her confusion softened into adoration.

Nohealani leaned forward and Gabriel set his cup down to meet her halfway. His lips were soft, gentle as they pressed against hers. His eyes swiftly closed, cheeks flaring up in a bright red.

On the cafe table, his hand rested on top of hers and she couldn't help the slight smile into the kiss. He was adorable, a little formal, but adorable.

Gabriel pulled back after a beat or two, his smile visibly dopey.

"That's it?" Nohealani teased, beaming at him.

He looked surprised, but eagerly leaned forward again. Kissing her once more, but with more oompf! Nohealani giggled, making him huff slightly against her mouth.

TOO adorable.

First time seeing the other one sick/injured

From the day he met her, Nohealani always had a bandage of some kind on her. Her face, or her body. To Gabriel, it was just a normal thing to witness. There was no real first. But the first time Nohealani saw him injured was a different story.

It was a simple accident, really. The heavy box of books on a high shelf left his arm in a sling after it fell onto him. He shouldn't have defended himself with his arm, Gabriel knew that.

But it didn't change Nohealani's reaction when he picked her up from the airport in a cab rather than his car, a sheepish smile on his face. Her worry was clear on her face as her hand brushed along the underside of the sling his arm was in.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She demanded, eyebrows furrowing as she looked up at him, staring into his violet hued eyes.

Gabriel rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand, averting his gaze from hers. She looked so stern. "I didn't really think about it... I was really busy getting ready for you to come visit!"

"What happened?" Nohealani crossed her arms over her chest.

"Uhm... Work accident?"

"You work in a bookstore!"

"Books are heavy, flower petal! Really heavy-"

She paused, blinking a few times, and Gabriel took the chance to look at her. She was visibly biting the inside of her cheek. "You lost to some books?" She managed without laughing at him.

It was Gabriel's turn to pout.

"They were big heavy books..."

First time sharing a bed (non-sexual)

"I uh- and I'll sleep on the couch, of course!"

Nohealani snickered as he held his spare blanket in his arms, pale cheeks flushed pink as he looked away from her. Was the mere thought of her sleeping in his bed really flustering him? It had to be that, she hadn't done anything else!

"Gabe you can sleep in the bed, it's huge. We're dating."

"Ah.. But if I do, Olive will want to join us.. She's very clingy." And as if on cue, or rather, because she heard her name, Olive's paws were audible on the wooden hallway before she appeared by his side.

"And you're gonna try to fit your tall self and her fluffiness on that couch of yours?"

Gabriel shyly nodded, adjusting the blanket to one arm so he could pet the panting Olive. The great pyrenees wasted little time in nudging his hand for more pets.

Nohealani fell back against the queen sized bed, patting the space beside her. Olive bolted from Gabriel's side, jumping on the bed beside her and licking her face. "Blegh!" She groaned, but the large white dog didn't give it up.

He laughed quietly, turning the bedside table light on but turning the overhead light off. He then got onto the bed, sitting cross-legged beside his beautiful girlfriend and silly dog.

"Alright, come here, Olive. Couche." He gestured to the end of the bed, and Olive went to the foot, spinning a few times before she laid down with a soft puff.

Nohealani scooted up, getting underneath the blankets and laying against the many pillows he had in his bed. Gabriel followed suit, removing his glasses and putting them on the nightstand.

"You're sure this is okay?"

"Yes, Gabe~!"

"Okay.." He reached over, turning the bedside lamp off.

The squeak he let out when Nohealani hugged his back made her laugh so loud Olive couldn't help but bark.

First fight

Gabriel doesn't fight, and maybe that was what annoyed her so much. When conflict would start to arise, he always sighed softly, putting his hands up.

"Let's approach this when we're in a better frame of mind."

It took a long time for her fuse to blow at his passive behaviour. The distance made it easier.

"Can you at least yell back?! Say something besides we'll deal with this later?! Do you care?" Nohealani shouted at him, watching the man's eyes widen behind his glasses.

"Of- Of course, I care. I just see no reason to argue when our emotions are aflame."

"You sound so pretentious!"

Gabriel doesn't fight.

He learned the hard way in childhood he would always lose. But he didn't blame her, she didn't know. He didn't know of hers either, it wouldn't be fair to make her feel guilt for what he experienced.

"Hey! Where are you going?!"

He didn't even bother putting his shoes on, just grabbing them as he left his apartment, the door shutting behind him with a soft click. His heart tightened in his chest, and he found it hard to breathe.

Gabriel doesn't fight.

Left alone in the apartment, Nohealani could only stare at the closed door.

First act of non-sexual intimacy (e.g. washing the other's hair, taking a bath together, sharing food)

Their first act was when they met, technically. When they shared their food with each other.

But after that? It was when she held his hand. France was a large place, Paris exceptionally so. Gabriel often forgot how tall he was, and even though Nohealani moved quickly, he was something else.

She grabbed his hand as he led her down a busy street, not wanting to lose in him the crowd. Gabriel paused, stopping for a moment to look back at her. The action resulted in somebody bumping into him and he swiftly apologised in French.

Gabriel's fingers intertwined with hers, and he brought their shared hands up to kiss the back of her hand. "Apologies, flower, let us move on."

Nohealani felt far more secure with his hand in hers, sticking close by him as he did his best to slow his pace.

First time seeing the other all dressed up

Gabriel has a nosebleed.

It happened when Gabriel invited her to an upscale restaurant, he told her it was nice, but not the fanciest. She could still dress however she wanted.

But Nohealani took the opportunity to dress nice, and of course, Gabriel did too.

Gabriel smoothed his suit jacket, trying to get off any lingering Olive hairs. But he stopped when she entered the entrance from where she was finishing up in the bathroom.

He stopped in his tracks, eyes widening as he looked her up and down.

"You're so- you look- uhm. You're.. You're really pretty..."

A white corset top with various pastel flowers embroidered onto it. The connected skirt was a light pink with more flowers embroidered down the side, stopping just under her knees.

Nohealani laughed, holding her hand out to him to take. He bowed, taking her hand to kiss it.

"Thank you~!"

"I am so honoured to be dating you, oh my god."

Her next laugh was closer to a bark, she didn't expect that from him. Though, she supposed, she should have. It was Gabriel after all.

"You clean up well too handsome." She pulled her hand back to run her hands up his pressed suit jacket. A nice almost black purple, crisp light grey shirt underneath, and a tie she'd bought him.

White with pastel flowers on it.

"Thank you..." Gabriel sounded so bashful.

"You ready, babe?"

"I hope so.."

[aziraphales-library]

I was wondering (and sorry if it's been asked already 🥺) what about fanfictions with some mistery and adventure? I love romantic and fluffy stories but I wanted to read something different in this fandom. Thank you in advance ❤️

Tags to check out on our blog for more fics along these lines are #action/adventure, #mystery, and #murder mystery but here are some great ones to add to our collection...

Wine Fraud and Other Worthy Pursuits by ImprobableDreams900 (G)

When Aziraphale, rare book dealer and part-time wine collector, encounters a bottle of 1844 Château Lafite-Rothschild he suspects isn't all that it claims, he becomes determined to track down the truth.

Unfortunately, the finger of suspicion seems to point at fellow wine collector Anthony J. Crowley, whom Aziraphale is already well on his way to befriending.

The Star Stone by AppleSeeds (T)

Heaven punished Aziraphale by making him human and taking away his memories. Hell figured this was punishment enough for Crowley and just crossed the job off the list.

Now Crowley is searching for an occult (originally ethereal) artefact that could restore Aziraphale’s angelic nature, but the only man who can help him doesn’t remember who he is.

Aziraphale quickly becomes much more than just intrigued with the enigmatic scholar seeking his assistance, eagerly joining him on a modern-day quest to unravel mysteries and solve riddles to find the artefact. As they spend time together, Aziraphale's feelings develop and he struggles with the fact that his new acquaintance’s heart quite evidently belongs to someone else... or so he believes.

Choose Your Princes Wisely by ZehWulf (T)

“There’s an enchanted castle West in the Hellian slopes, and apparently it comes with a prince looking for a bride or bridegroom to free him from a dark fae’s curse.”

“I see,” Aziraphale says finally, when he realizes both Gabriel and Uriel are staring at him expectantly. “You want me to marry a beast?”

Gabriel's mouth flattens. “I want you to take this gods’ blessed opportunity to secure your family’s future for good."

OR

Aziraphale is a professional quest hero who just wants to sit by the fire and read a book, if his overbearing family will ever let him; Crowley is a serpent demon who needs a gullible hero he can con into gathering some critical ingredients for a human corporation spell. Hijinks and a lot of terribly inconvenient feelings ensue.

The Starting Hinge by lucky_spike (T)

When a rare book collector is mysteriously killed, DI Barnaby and DS Winter are on the case. Meanwhile, the question of what will become of the victim's extensive library stirs a small group of rare books collectors into a furor. Who can be trusted?

-

This is predominantly a Good Omens fanfic with some Midsomer Murders thrown in just because I could do it and I wanted to. Contains death of an OC and (obvs) murder and attempts thereof. Nothing gory, though, so party on.

Romancing The Tome by Anti_kate (E)

Romance novelist Aziraphale Wilder is pulled from his carefully ordered life when his sister is kidnapped and held to ransom. With the help of antiquities forger Anthony J Crowley, he braves the wilds of Scotland to rescue her and keep a priceless book from falling into the hands of dangerous book thieves.

The Currents by indigo (E)

Post-End-of-the-World-that-Wasn't, a bored demon sets up a Detective Agency and obviously drags his angel counterpart in to help out. They are tasked with preventing a murder before it happens and set off to the Highlands of Scotland - where, of course, nothing works out quite the way they imagine...

This chapter. I don't know what to think. I'm ready to see my badass queens

Mina is such a mood!!

I LOVE THAT LIL SHIT!!!

Magnus and Tessa's friendship is top tier!!! 💙

The texts!! I'm dying 😂

"She had briefly wondered if his parents had confiscated his phone. No. No, that was harsh. They wouldn’t do that. Right?" No, no, they just took away his magic, no biggie 🙂

Ash and Kit being parabatai is something that brings me hope...

Kit is so mature and grown up now and I just 🥺 also, he's kinda right in the whole thing

Mina loving her family so, so much >>>> anything else

Ok, but I want to quote the whole Will thing and I'm just... I feel kinda sad for Mina but well at the same time that family brings me so much joy and this:

She knew there was an ache in her parents’ heart that she could never fill no matter how hard she tried.

She could have his name.

She could be a chaotic monster.

She could read all the books in the world.

But she would never be him.

Mina had made her peace with that.

Maybe all she had to do was sit next to them and hold their hand.

Idk, I relate a lot to that 💙💙

Tessa and Jem being so in love and Kit and Mina being so done?? 100000/10

Kit calling Jem "Dad"??? My heart is full🥺🥺

Ok, all that scene!! I love that family so, so much!!! And the tea thing!! Lmaoo😂

MY LOS ANGELES GANG!!! LOVE THEM💙💙

“Uh, that’s probably a euphemism,” I’m in love with Achilles lmaoo

Achilles is spilling facts!!

“Shadowhunters didn’t have that problem. Consul Lightwood-Bane had fixed it.” And we love him for it!!!

“They won’t - because this law doesn’t affect them. People only give a shit about things when it suits them.” Yup. People are shit sometimes

Nuwhduen I love that family🥺

The nails!!! I miss Rafael…

OH SHIT HE KNOWS!! (This whole father knowing their children secret is funny for some reason😂)

“I’m sorry the law failed you.” Fuck. This hurts.

Ok, but the water cooler story broke me... why??

“It was during the summer!” Camila put up her hands. “He had to take his shirt off.” (That mental image is really good ngl…)

Anjali…. Honesty, all that scene was a masterpiece and heartbreaking but if I quote something I probably won’t stop but THIS

Between her lips where she whispered his name.

Between her fingers where his curly hair fit right in.

Between the curves of her hips where he would have probably held her when they kissed.

And in her heart.

Between, outside, inside, all over her heart.

💙💙💙💙💙💙

“I don’t know much about them, except that they are very hot. But from what I could gather, they are good people.” I only see facts!!!

Camila simping for Gabriel 😂😂 Same girl!!!

GABRIEL AND ANJALI!! THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE COMMENT.

“You have a crush on Jace Herondale’s daughter.” OH MY GOD!! THEY DO LIKE HER!!

Ok, now I think I like them more

“So, don’t do it. Don’t fall for the children of heroes. It will get you killed.” This can literally relate to every tsc character...

“I lost him,” Lily had kept saying. “I lost my Rafael all over again.” (THAT HURTED MORE THAT IT HAD THE RIGHT TO DO!!)

I WILL REPEAT THIS UNTIL I DIE! ANJALI IS SUCH A BADASS QUEEN!!! I LOVE HER!!! EVERY WORD OUT OF HER MOUTH ARE JUST FACTS!!!

“You see, the fault is not with Rafael or Celine or any of these people who were denied the right to a proper funeral. They were failed by the law. If you want to burn something, burn your precious Covenant.” I’M SPEECHLESS!!!

“Leave my son out of this,” Magnus Bane stood up. “In fact, leave both my children alone!” (YES. LEAVE MY PRECIOUS FAMILY ALONE!!)

All of that scene was a big WOW

Camila!!! I love her too!!! Such a goddess!!! She also only spill facts!!!!

“That extremely hot person is the only one with a brain cell here,” Camila whispered. (Ok, but when can I marry her????)

Kingsley should shut the fuck up :)

YES CAMILA!!! USE A FUCKING TECHNICALITY!!!

“Aw, Anjali. You can draw!” Clary said and cleared her throat. “Um, yes. It’s true. It’s on page 10 of the Codex.” (LMAOO I LOVE CLARY😂💙)

“Yeah, that’s about sums it all up,” YUP

GABRIEL IS THE REPRESENTATIVE!!HOLY SHIT!!

“What is wrong with you people?” Gabriel demanded, the insolent grin still on their face. “Let the family grieve their child and have the funeral and move on. God damn.” YES GABRIEL!!! I’M NOW SIMPING MORE FOR THEM!!!

“Rafael,” her voice broke now. “I got better. Where is my kiss?” Ouch. Pian. I was stabbed.

“Are you sleeping, cariño?” she asked, running her hand through his hair. “Do you want me to sing to you?” And then she sang. She sang for her Rafael. The boy who was only asleep. (HOW CAN I GO FROM CELEBRATING TO CRYING IN 0.4 SECONDS!!)

“It’s not like Michael had ever celebrated Christmas or anything.” MY GIRL DESERVES BETTER!!

“Michael’s own family was something else. They would probably kill each other if they could get away with it.” Yeah, it be like that sometimes…. “But sometimes, you had to live with people you hated. It was a cruel sort of punishment.” I relate to this and honestly I don't like it...

I HATE ZARA SO MUCH!!

YES MICHAEL!!! SHOW HER

Wow. This was really the least angsty chapter...I LOVED IT💙
