Summary: 2095. Britain is a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by droughts, the collapse of civilisation, and hordes of the undead. Despite that, Aziraphale’s life is actually pretty good. He has his caravan, his books, and his work, offering his services to the men who stop by Tadfield on their arduous journey north.
One day, a mysterious stranger knocks on his door. Crowley is charming and handsome and he appears to know his way around a vegetable garden. He comes with the tempting offer of a mutually beneficial arrangement. But it’s in Aziraphale’s best interest not to get too attached.
A dystopian cottagecore sex worker AU.
Reccer's Notes: This is probably the softest zombie apocalypse AU I have ever read; the zombies are much more of a background element, and, aside from one pivotal scene, they have very little to do with the story. Aziraphale is a sex worker living in the post-apocalyptic British countryside. Crowley and him meet and come to an agreement that Crowley can stay with him in return for helping with Aziraphale's withered garden, but only for the summer. I think the author handles Aziraphale's sex work well, and it never becomes a major issue between them. The story is more about the development of their relationship and Aziraphale slowly coming to trust Crowley and accept him as part of his life. The author does a great job with the setting, I could feel the hot summer sun and hear the bees buzzing about the plants. They do such a great job of showing the beauty of a world that has been ravaged, but still continues to grow.
