[aziraphales-library]

hi :D big fan of what y'all are doing here, it looks like a lot of work/time <2

I was looking for fics that involve the language of flowers, since i haven't found a lot

thanks :D

I'm sure we've recommendations fics like this before, but can I cannot find the posts. Oh well, here are some for you...

Honeysuckle and White Jasmine by HolyCatsAndRabbits (E)

While on a bad blind date at a coffee shop, bookshop owner Aziraphale meets a gorgeous red-haired barista. Also Aziraphale knows flower language and he's not afraid to use it. So now Aziraphale was going on a date with someone Tracy knew. Since Tracy had arranged it, Aziraphale let her pick the place as well: Double Double, a new coffee shop. Tracy had promised that the shop was lovely and had a selection of rich desserts, which was honestly the part that had convinced Aziraphale. Aziraphale’s one bit of defiance was the flowers. He had a book or two in his shop on flower language, and he’d decided that the bouquet was going to be the sweetener for the day (besides the dessert), the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. Yellow carnations: Disdain, disappointment, rejection. Red snapdragon: Deception. Purple columbine: foolishness. White candytuft: indifference. And finally butterfly weed, a bright little orange cluster flower, which meant Let me go! Armed with his passive-aggressive (but quite lovely smelling) bouquet, Aziraphale took a cab to Double Double.

i am just the (new invention) by littlesnowpea (T)

A list of hobbies Crowley has picked up over the past 6000 years: -gardening -cooking -fashion -pining for Aziraphale -making YouTube videos A list of hobbies Aziraphale has picked up over the past 6000 years: -reading -book restoration -music -pining for Crowley -commenting on Crowley’s YouTube videos When Aziraphale starts giving Crowley flowers, Crowley takes to his YouTube channel to discuss the meaning behind it, where Aziraphale comments encouragement to confess his feelings – under an alias, of course. There is absolutely no way any of this could ever go wrong.

The Language of Flowers by GreenGlitchBitch (T)

“We can communicate through flowers! It’s being talked about in Britain. Hasn’t quite caught on yet, so we wouldn’t be too suspicious” Aziraphale said. Basically, Crowley and Aziraphale are in love throughout the ages, and in order to keep their respective head offices from knowing, they use flowers to send each other messages.

you took my soul and wiped it clean by staringatstars (G)

On a summer afternoon, a stranger in a cream-colored vest and coat walked into Crowley's flower shop with a rather odd request: "What sort of floral arrangement would you make for one whom you love very much, even whilst knowing they could never feel the same?"

Pressed Flowers by TheNoctambulist (T)

A romance between two business owners of London's SoHo. Anthony Crowley, proud owner of Eden (Producer of Fine Flowers and Bouquets since 2008), didn't expect to find love in his life. Ever. He had his plants, and what more could a florist want? But when Aziraphale Fell, a slightly fussy, altogether chaotic bookshop owner wanders into his shop looking for a bouquet, he begins to question what he really wants at all.

Pray For Us, Icarus by Atalan (Series, G-T)

For three centuries, Crowley has been reincarnated over and over as a human with no memory of his past. Aziraphale has tried to find a way to restore him to his true self, but all he seems to do is hurt them both. This time, he only means to steal a brief moment when he walks into Crowley's flower shop. But Crowley can't let it go...

Come and take choice (of all my Library) - RainingPrince, TheNoctambulist

[image description: Crowley and Aziraphale stand in a library. Crowley is looking at a book in front of himself and holding a pen behind himself. The pen is pointed at a list Aziraphale is reading, and he looks annoyed. There are credits as well, top text reads “Come and take choice (of all my Library)”, bottom text reads “fic by Raining Prince, art by The Noctambulist”. end description.]

Crowley hadn’t exactly meant to check for a reply, but you know that feeling; the one that tells you “just check your ex’s page one more time, just to be sure they’re as miserable as you are.” The one that whispers “It can’t hurt to check back on that reddit thread, your question was innocuous enough.” The one that tempts you into reading all the comments on a post about a celebrity marrying her girlfriend of six years; “it’s such a happy occasion, who would actually bother trying to ruin it?”

Call it morbid curiosity. He’s got that in spades.

A look at the psychology of bad decisions, good decisions, face painting, and learning not to judge a book by its cover.

Hello everyone! I’ve spent the last couple months working on the Do It With Style Reverse Bang, and it’s about time to start posting!

Hey folks! One of my fave fics is Or Be Nice by charlottemadison and I especially resonate with Crowly's particular brand of social anxiety in it. I was wondering if you knew of any other fics where Crowly has social anxiety.

Thank you for your help, you're all so awesome for everything you do!

Hello! Not a lot of fics are specifically tagged with social anxiety unfortunately, but here are a few where I would say at least some of Crowley’s anxiety is social...

The Nice and Accurate wedding of Anathema Device, Witch, which went just as expected by Nenchen (G)

Wedding planner Anathema Device is the Number One. She can organize anything for a wedding, flower arrangements, catering, a marching band or an emu. The name Device is a guarantee for a picture perfect wedding - and the perfect pictures will be taken by her top wedding photographer, and best friend, Anthony J. Crowley.

Both of them see weddings mostly as business, until Anathema meets Newt, Love of her life, walking natural disaster extraordinaire, and very much not a person it’s possible to have a perfect wedding with.

Which is perfect since Anathema frankly never wanted one for herself. She just wants a fun party, good food, and all of her friends to attend - including Crowley. For whom this might just as well be the apocalypse because no, he is not allowed to work on her wedding. Strictly invited only as a guest, Crowley finds himself at a loss. What the hell do you do at weddings? Well, if you are Crowley, the answer is some James Bond-like action, some worrying about fly swarms and their sources, having a lot of emotions, drinking some very funny wine, putting your foot in your mouth and just maybe meeting someone to share all of that with. Oh, and there’s always cake, isn’t there?

Pressed Flowers by TheNoctambulist (T)

A romance between two business owners of London's SoHo.

Anthony Crowley, proud owner of Eden (Producer of Fine Flowers and Bouquets since 2008), didn't expect to find love in his life. Ever. He had his plants, and what more could a florist want? But when Aziraphale Fell, a slightly fussy, altogether chaotic bookshop owner wanders into his shop looking for a bouquet, he begins to question what he really wants at all.

Clementine by Mussimm (E)

I love you madly Let my imagination run away with you gladly.

The seaside neighbours AU exactly one person asked for.

Almost Heaven by pilatesandpinot (E)

English literature professor Azra Fell finally decides to go on sabbatical for a semester. If he were smart, he’d probably spend his time in the Mediterranean, go hiking across Europe or America, or perhaps learn the power of prayer and meditation. Instead, he settles into a seaside town called Abel’s Point, also known as “Almost Heaven”, hoping some time away from London will help him rejuvenate and write his memoir. Little does he know that the town will prove more than he bargained for. Not to mention his next door neighbor, Anthony Crowley, who happens to be the most flirtatious yet neurotic man in town.

Rearrangements by sheendav (E)

Aziraphale, a lonely anxious bookseller from Soho, walks in St. James park every Wednesday and Sunday.

For nearly nine months he has had various, wordless, encounters with a very handsome red-haired man with sunglasses.

They have never spoken, but a strange and lovely intimacy has slowly grown between them as they share the same space, and feed the ravenous ducks by the pond.

It's all been rather lovely... and then one day... the red-haired man says 'hello.'

All You Knead Is Love by fumi_faust & Writer_Maxtli (NR)

Anthony Crowley left behind the world of high class dining to open a small bakery in Soho. Aziraphale is a lonely bookshop owner who finds it on accident. Cue rom com levels of romance, baking shenanigans, and everyone being happy. As they say, if you want a hyper specific bakery AU, you gotta do it yourself.

And the one you mentioned...

Or Be Nice by charlottemadison (E)

Crowley and Aziraphale are neighbours. And...it does not go at all well, until it does.

A human AU in which Aziraphale is a bookseller, Crowley is a drummer, and they are both petty disasters in the worst/best way.

+++

“So what’s your deal?” “My-my-my deal?” Aziraphale stammered. “I’m a bookseller, is my deal.” “Oh,” Crowley replied, sounding as uninterested as it was possible to sound. “It’s just, I couldn’t help overhearing, and --” Aziraphale swallowed hard. “You really are an accomplished musician. But I thought -- for after 11PM -- perhaps we could reach some arrangement?” “Arrangement?” Aziraphale felt his his smile turning forced. “Such as, perhaps, playing the drums *before* eleven? Instead of after?” Crowley stared blankly at him. In fact he stared for so long that Aziraphale briefly wondered if he'd lapsed into ancient Greek again, which he was known to do in bad dreams or during panic attacks.

I actually have an extensive list of ones I considered when I changed my own name, and I like a lot equally, so here’s a few

top 3 androgynous names! (And I’m not including Finley because obviously)

Cameron (I almost picked this one for myself!)

Ollie (I have a nonbinary character named Ollie)

Rene (this is actually my middle name djfjdhsjf but it’s also my dad’s name and it’s gender neutral!)

Thanks for the ask!!

@thenoctambulist

Sure sex is good and all I guess but what about when an author of a really good fic comments on YOUR fic about how good it is???

[aziraphales-library]

Hello there! Thank you for everything you do, I had a blast reading up the recommendations from here :D

I read one fic where Crowley ran a plant shop, and I love the idea of seeing Crowley with plants. I was wondering if there are more fics out there featuring this theme, or even revolves around the theme? Thanks a bunch!

Hi! We have a #crowley’s plants tag that might interest you. There are various tropes in this theme, such as Crowley being a florist, gardener, or botanist. I’ve got a selection of these for you now...

The Devil's in the Flowers by jibber_jabber (M)

For the last eleven years, A.Z. Fell’s Fantastic Flowers has provided quality bouquets and services to the people of London. Whether it’s weddings or funerals, lovesickness or heartbreak, Aziraphale can find the perfect flower for you. But when Crowley’s Flowers, Houseplants, and Other Assorted Leafy Green Things opens up across the street, everything starts to change—and Aziraphale will be damned if he’s going to let this no-good, profit-hungry Crowley steal all his business.

(Or, the one where Aziraphale and Crowley are rival florists working in the same neighborhood).

Pages And Petals: A Love Story by ranguvar82 (E)

Anthony Crowley has moved to the tiny village of Tadfield after a nervous breakdown. He just wants to be left alone to work in his garden and recover. But when he orders some books to be sent to the tiny library, he's not expecting for the librarian to be this gorgeous angel of a man.

Aziraphale's life is one of quiet routine. That is, until a man covered head to toe in dirt comes running into his library and lodges himself in his heart.

The Garden Project by snae_b (E)

He isn’t sure how he fell. But he has. Hard. And he has a feeling that Aziraphale is right there with him.

Two lonely academics learn to cultivate more than plants.

Anthophilia by FortinbrasFTW (M)

Anthony J. Crowley's life seems like it's finally falling into place: his floral shop has begun to gain an undercurrent of appreciation in the design elite of London, and he might have even finally found a boyfriend who looks just right lounging on his Tenreiro sofa. Things seem almost perfect, until one day the empty shop across the street is leased to frumpy fellow Oxford alumni, who doesn't seem to remember Crowley nearly as well as he remembers him, which really shouldn't bother him as much as it does - it was ten years ago after all, and it wasn't even that good of a kiss.
