Summary of Part 1:
Crowley is terrified of losing Aziraphale again, but unable to confess his feelings. He follows Aziraphale on an errand to America, where they end up invited to a seder and spend the next year being invited to other holidays and gatherings on both sides of the Atlantic. Is Crowley's pining painfully obvious to everyone but Aziraphale? (Yes.) Are the rabbi and her wife going to try and get them together? (Yes.) How many Jewish holidays will these two ineffable idiots be invited to before they finally admit their feelings to each other? (Read it and see!)
Note from Ribbons: chapter 7 of the first story takes place during Chanukah, and includes scolded azaleas, starry socks, gossiping in Yiddish, and kids with dreidls:
Crowley decides to see what the children are doing.
The kids are playing a game with a four-sided top and a pile of chocolate coins of various sizes. Two of them recognize him from the seder and invite him to join. It’s a very simple game, but the kids are having fun making up increasingly arcane house rules (and also eating the chocolate). Crowley starts to participate in the impromptu game design session, a surprisingly involved process. He doesn’t notice Aziraphale approaching until her hears an indignant “Crowley!”
He stands up. “What?”
“Are you teaching children a gambling game?”
“No, angel, the children are teaching me.”

Menorah Conspiracies and Other Distractions (7075 words) by borealowl
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Rating: Not Rated
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Characters: Aziraphale (Good Omens), Crowley (Good Omens), same OCs as the rest of the series
Additional Tags: Menorah, Vatican, not quite as light as I was intending but still very silly, author has spent too much time on Jwitter
Series: Part 8 of Four Cups of Wine and related stories
Summary:
“Wait,” says Crowley. “You’re talking about a giant seven-branched candelabra? About this big?” He spreads his arms to gesture at the rough size.
“That’s what the descriptions say, anyway,” says Lori. “Why? Have you seen it?”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Crowley says. “I would never set foot in the Vatican.”
Crowley loves a good conspiracy theory, and when he learns about the persistent rumor that the Temple menorah is hidden in the Vatican, well, what demon could resist?
[Makes note to self to dive into the Good Omens is Jewish and so are we collection sometime after Tu B'shevat . . .]

Familiar Faces (1842 words) by Ghostinthehouse
Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV), Dark Is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Additional Tags: Mistaken Identity, Aziraphale's Bookshop (Good Omens)
Series: Part 3 of Stand Alone Omens
Summary:
Aziraphale paused on the town bridge, listening to the music that spilled from the entertainer's lyre. The song ended, and a deep voice requested an old, old tune.
I especially enjoyed Chapter 3, where a grown-up Bran Davies stops by Aziraphale's shop to chat with Adam Young: ""Will Stanton sent me, as I was in the area anyway. He said that this rising was more my thing than his, and I'd be needed here."
