The Roster began as a joke between Emma Rhodes and Jasper Jordan. But like most jokes, it quickly spiraled out of control and into something more than Emma could have bargained for.
For better or for worse.

Aziraphale Fell is a flight attendant who excels at delivering top notch customer service, but when it comes to his relationships outside the aircraft, things tend to crash and burn. After a particularly bumpy breakup, he decides to try a more casual approach to fulfilling his needs on the ground. What he can’t anticipate is that the man of his choosing ends up being a frequent flier on one of his monthly lines.
Anthony Jay Crowley is a London based architect who is working on a project in New York City. The last thing Crowley expects is to bump into the affable steward at the same bar following his flight. Starved for companionship, Crowley cannot help but be drawn to this man's quiet charms.
What was originally intended as a single night of passion soon turns into something more, which leads Aziraphale to wonder if he is headed for an emotional tailspin just as Crowley doubts the sustainability of something long term.
Can these two pilot their relationship through past insecurities and push through the turbulent challenges their current lifestyles present? Or will they release the controls and allow their hearts to fall to pieces?
A Good Omens Human AU.
There is freedom in knowing what’s in your heart. There is comfort in knowing you are not alone.
For all their knowledge of all the languages of the world, Aziraphale and Crowley have created one for themselves that only they seem to understand.
Essentially, all the prompts I had to use in "The Heart is Hard to Translate" but fluffier (in most cases), and in some instances, smuttier, and without word count constraints.

There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).
But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

All things considered, it is quite hard to run away properly, when your friends can, quite literally, follow you to the Ends Of The Universe And Back.
This is fairly annoying when your friends' primary motivations for hunting you down seems to be to pretend that Everything's Fine Without Him, Really, ruin your perfectly-sweet, perfectly-quiet happiness with a sudden onset of Relationship Crisis, and to sidle you into playing Therapist when your only qualifications for the role are that you were once (sort of; it's a long story) a God and/or have previously given some Exciting News to a random virgin woman and some shepherds, neither of which are particularly helpful.

For all their knowledge of all the languages of the world, Aziraphale and Crowley can’t seem to articulate just how they truly feel about one another. And then, by the time they do, it's too late.

With everything in life, there is a season. And they are always changing.
Maria Wynstone is mostly content with a quiet life at her family's country estate, but as the daughter of a gentleman farmer, she knows that a few bad seasons can make all the difference to one's circumstances. And Maria has had her fair share of bad seasons in Town, to make her never wish to quit there again.
Arthur Colbourne does not mind the law per se, but an embarrassing bumble in court rattles his confidence to the point where he questions all he's ever worked for. However, when his Uncle Wallace unexpectedly dies and he inherits the estate, Arthur finds himself thrust into a role that he is quite underprepared for, particularly when he meets the daughter of his new neighbour, Miss Maria Wynstone.
Drawn to her quiet charms, Arthur finds himself feeling things he's never experienced before. And when the delightful Miss Wynstone receives startling news about her brother, Gerry, Arthur cannot help but offer his services to help her find the truth of what happened to him. As the hunt for Gerry reaches a critical turning point, both Maria and Arthur are confronted not only for their growing feelings for one another, but also ghosts from their pasts. They must then find a way to move beyond their individual failings, should they want to succeed together.

rulebreaking can generally be divided into three categories: some are nbd, some are dangerous, and some are outright illegal.
victoire and fred understand these distinctions, but they have never been particularly interested in them.

Was I gay? Was I bi? Was I no better than my siblings at lusting over my best friend's wife?
The three of us were close, that was true. Rose had always been my best friend growing up, but when I met Scorp we just connected on so many different levels, and in a lot of ways he knew me better than Rose ever could.

Brotherly relationships seem to form everywhere. There’s James Potter taking to all of his son’s friends. There’s Harry and Ron’s bromance of course. Harry’s even got a new baby brother of his own. And then there’s Harry’s role as the honorary little brother, always round Cedric and Oliver’s flat… Until he’s a man and jealousy ensues.
And obviously lots of things happen in between.
A wild tale of relationships in all of their forms.

Rose hasn't seen or spoken to Scorpius since graduation, but now he's in her office covered in blood and they need to work together to save her cousin. It doesn't help that the rest of her relatives keep being attacked and the two of them have somehow ended up as the chief suspects.

Fifth year’s barely over, but the future is all everyone wants to talk about. Regulus is determined to outshine his brother. Walden’s planning a marriage that’ll never happen. Tibs wants to be a politician. Becoming the next Bellatrix Lestrange is my goal, and the only one that seems achievable. Yet with the Death Eaters falling like flies, the future looks bleaker than ever.
In five years’ time, we’re all going to be dead.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
