You know Aziraphale, right? The nervous bookseller who abhors violence and gave away his flaming sword? Has a nice sideline in restoring delicate old books? Likes fancy fragile teacups and itty bitty snuff boxes? He's also the guy who was sent to guard the eastern gate of Eden from Hell's invaders, commands his own platoon of the heavenly host, and punched a big-ass hole in the wall surrounding Eden*, so Adam and Eve could flee into the desert. Reconcile that.
*Whoops they forgot to actually install a gate in the show.
A romance in both sense of the word. Sometime after their reunion, Ed and Stede wash up on a desert island. It's nice as these places go, apart from the angry wild boars and the odd shark. And Ed kind of wants to murder Stede a little bit. How did they get there? Can they work together? Can they escape? Do they want to escape? GOSH I SURE HOPE NOBODY'S NAVY TURNS UP THAT WOULD BE BAD. I advise starting this in daylight hours so you're not up very very late to find out what happens. Don't be like me.
Modern AU. Izzy and Ed run a pub. Well, Izzy runs it and Ed turns up when he feels like it. It's frustrating, but it's better, or at least more legal and less violent, than their previous profession, and the endless, unchanging work helps Izzy deal with his addiction. So it's good. It works. Until one morning some annoying posho professor type asks Izzy for directions and Izzy's entire life goes to hell. You may also have a little antarctic exploration, as a treat.
