Hi! I hope this isn't a retread. I'm looking for a specific fic about an angel and a demon who are both stuck in cramped offices (in Heaven and Hell respectively) having been assigned to monitor the goings on on Earth at a distance. They send each other messages about Aziraphale and Crowley and become quite close over the course of the story. I think technically their correspondence is officially sanctioned; they take turns updating the system. Thank you for running this wonderful blog!
I think this could be...
Spying Omens by EdnaV (T)
The angel Zophiel and the demon Ramiel have one simple job: to observe and file reports about their field agents on Earth, the Principality Aziraphale and the Tempter Crowley. But when they decide to watch them together, the job becomes something more...
That is: where did Michael get those “Earth Observation files,” and what’s the story of the angelic fan (and their demonic counterpart) who was hiding them?

On Demons
If you ask any denizens of the New World about how many moons there are, the answer is so easy you will get a few puzzled looks; clearly there is only one. But ask on the opposite part of the world, the Old World, and the answer may not be so simple.
Around two hundred and fifty years ago, what is now known as The Rise of the Second Moon occurred. Suddenly a new, bigger, redd-er moon rose from the horizon, and with it, unholy abominations started appearing. For the first time in ages, mortal races and dragonkind had to fight together to repel the outwordly creatures, but it wasn't an easy fight.
The creatures, named only "demons" for lack of a better word or understanding, didn't truly have a physical form, manifesting as plagues, thoughts, curses; extra-dimensional unable to be perceived unless already affected by them. Unable to affect them directly in any way, people from the Old World developed the first Seals: a way to constrain them in a physical space, usually using as a catalyst the purest form of one of the Divine Elements that build the world (Fire being the most common).
It took almost a decade, but Mortalkind was able to fend off the demonic invasion, putting in place the biggest Seal that has ever been made: Stopping the Second Moon's rotation permanently under the horizon, so it couldn't open its gate again. Without a way to send the demons already sealed back to where they came from, but understanding the huge power they possessed if released, the location of these seals it's an extremely well-kept secret and one that a lot of people hope it's been lost in time. Those seals can be everything, from buried cathedrals with a pool of Divine water buried in it's chapel, to small necklaces with a spark of pure fire inside them.
But unfortunately, that magic is old and outdated, and extra-dimensional beings are not easily restrained. And hundreds of years later, when people re-discovered those artifacts and tried to use their power, a new type of seal was made. Demons sealed within human bodies.
There are only a few corrupted mortals like that. Those are known as the Blue Death (Val, pictured first), The Wrathful One (Second Pic) and the White Wolf / King of Nightmares (not drawn yet)

Another Undertale Boundless concept.... yayyy
A royal guard that's set on her goals and also set on making others question their morality. She patrols the 'deeperground' and since its a very closed-off space, she makes it her lifes duty that everything in the 'deeperground' is under control.

Hi!
Do you know any fics from the POV of Heaven or Hell?
Hello. Here are some fics from the point of view of other angel and demon characters...
Lost Property by PinkPenguinParade (T)
“You’ve taken something of mine, dear boy, and I will have it back.” The angel held out a hand, firm but still bafflingly polite, and just... waited. Angelically. In the back corridors of Hell. Right next to the Thing in the disused lavatory.
The Before and the After, and the Fall that Separates by orphan_account (T)
Raphael neither slinks down past Earth to the fires, nor winks out near the surface. Raphael remains bright and strong, flickering like a summer lightning bug, and then settles near the outskirts of London.
Omia, with sweat running rivulets down her cheeks and her arms shaking from exertion, stares and stares and stares until the glow blurs with Heaven around her.
Raphael is on Earth.
Observer Effect by Square Pudding (T)
Heaven dispatches a Grigori to monitor any "suspicious activity" between Aziraphale and a certain agent of Hell.
The Angel of Justice by MirjamOmens (T)
The Almighty demotes Gabriel without an explanation, and it falls to Michael to figure out why. The investigation takes Michael to Earth to find out what happened when the Armageddon was cancelled, and what kind of relationship a certain angel and a demon really have.
(Or: The Five times Michael questioned others about Aziraphale, and the one time Aziraphale questioned Michael.)
damn.nation, now available on itunes by antistar_e (T)
When lowly tempt-pusher Amphora (formerly of Stairwell 7B North, before she Fell,) gets the notice that end times are nigh, she gleefully quits her job and cancels her Netflix subscription and takes her place among the legions of hell.
This, it turns out, was a bad plan.
Nil Desperandum by Rurouni_Idoru (M)
Nil was a nobody. Well, actually, she did in fact literally have a body, which put her ahead of a handful of some of the other demons. But metaphorically speaking, she didn’t rate, as her name might suggest. This wasn’t necessarily a problem; she found that being habitually overlooked allowed her a measure of freedom that she kind of enjoyed. There was no scrutiny on a nobody.
One of Hell's working stiffs seeks out some help from the only two creatures to have ever beaten the system. It doesn't go exactly as planned. Not that there was much of a plan.
