hi! i was looking for some fic recommendations with a sort of trans crowley lens. it doesn't necessarily need to portray him as trans (though that's also okay), i was mainly looking for something where his angel name was treated as a sort of deadname? as in, his Fall was basically a parallel for transitioning? i remember reading a few fics with that premise back in 2019, but i can't seem to be able to find them anymore...
thank you!
I was trying to search for one fic where Crowley's pre-fall name is censored out with a strange illegible font, but I couldn't find it. If anyone knows that one, let me know! Here are a few others for you...
imagine a time before by AnonymousDandelion (G)
In the time before time, in the world before the world, bathed in the amorphous starlight and mists that had not yet solidified into creation, two angels shared each other’s company. They talked, and laughed, and smiled, in the easy communion of friendship without complication.
“What was that idea you had mentioned?” Aziraphale asked, when their shared chuckling had died down.
“Oh. Right. It’s a new one. And nothing to do with constellations, this time.” The angel who would one day be Crowley hesitated. “Can I show you?”
Refuse Thy Name by theycallmeDernhelm (G)
“You were an angel, once.” “That was a long time ago.”
Crowley drunkenly lets slip an ancient memory, which sets Aziraphale looking for answers.
Gravity, or The Law By Which We Fall by rowenablade & sammininoofthelord (G)
Before Crowley was a demon, he was an angel who made stars.
Before Aziraphale was a principality, he was a soldier in a universe that had never known war.
They're on opposite sides when they meet, but neither knows how to treat the other as an enemy.
They're on their own side, when they remember.
How Do They Fall Down? by CynSyn & TawnyOwl95 (M)
In Heaven every angel knows their place.
Almost.
A Senior Astral Design Technician (who will one day choose to call himself Crowley) has questions. He thinks the Archangel Lucifer may have answers.
This is only partly fueled by the Crowley's growing fascination for the Principality with the kind eyes who is so far out of his league it's embarrassing. Not to mention socially impossible. But as discontent in Heaven grows boundaries begin to blur and all the angels will have to choose where they belong.
Or, five times Crowley didn't have the nerve to talk to Aziraphale and the one time he did. (Which made all the difference to the World)
Sweetest of Words by shadowintheshade (E)
Aziraphale calls Crowley by the wrong name during sex and it almost kills Crowley, re-awakening memories of who he was before the fall, memories Aziraphale has never lost. Aziraphale gives up a chunk of his soul to save Crowley from dying, guilt and angst and comfort ensue as they both work out who they are and where this new/ ancient relationship is going.

Hi, thank you so much for all the work you do to keep this blog running! I was wondering if I could promote my own fic that I posted recently. It’s called “you were the song that i’d always sing, you were the light that the fire would bring” on ao3. It’s a short speculative fic about Aziraphale helping Crowley escape from Heaven during the Great War. Thank you!!
Hullo dear! Congratulations on your writing achievement!

Aziraphale has always hated war.
Based on a headcanon I came up with that Aziraphale helped Crowley escape Heaven during the Great War, and that's why Crowley later sought him out in the Garden. Fic title is from "Passerine" by the Oh Hellos. :)
