Chapter 3 of "Falling" is up! Gabriel wrestles with some feelings he doesn't understand yet, and Heaven continues to be, well, awful.

Except for one sweet angel cameo.

I'd like to plan a Good Omens meetup for Saturday October 19th, 2024.

The Ineffable Society Meetup is a thought that's brewed in my brain since June 2023 when a bunch of local GO fans chanced to meet for the first time at the King of Prussia PA screening of series 2 episode 1 and 2.

It is time to stop brewing and let others contribute.

Here's my initial thoughts:

I'm willing to organize but not alone. We'll need to work together.

I live near Philadelphia, PA so this is the area I'm willing to do what needs doing primarily in Eastern PA, Central NJ, surrounding areas therein.

I'd want everyone attending to be 18 or older, please. I encourage those 17 and under to organize something together!

Taking suggestions for type of venues to host, think like a family reunion or larger.

I'm not interested in handling money, so would seek at least 2 people to oversee financials if that comes into play. (Finances might be needed to cover renting a space, any printed materials, little swag gifts.)

As mentioned, Saturday October 19th. Because it's close to the Earth's Birthday. :3

Afternoon through evening could be good. Maybe a 3 hour window on the small end; most of the day on the larger end. Will depend on location and on how many helpers step up.

Good Omens related fun: encouraging cosplay, script book readings, discussions, games, swaps. Maybe screening an episode together (there's copyright law to contend with here though). Depending on how much time we have together and space. Simplest plan would be an informal Good Omens afternoon mixer type.

If fewer than 12 people are interested:

We could just meetup at a restaurant that has a function room! (Not super ideal for allergies, as there's probably nowhere that's good for everyone. But does it in a pinch. And would probably not be a big up-front cost. Often there's a small room fee and then the assumption everyone will eat.)

If more than 12 up to 40 people are interested:

We might consider renting some conference rooms at a small hotel. (That does make it easier for people to find accommodations: already there! At a hotel! Downside is this will require chipping in.)

Any more than 40 people and uhhh... We'll figure it out.

WHAT I NEED TO KNOW FROM YOU

There will be more questions to follow, but most important one is below.

Please answer YES if you are:

A Good Omens fan

18 or older

In the Eastern PA to Central NJ area

Or are otherwise willing, able, and interested to go there

For transparency. A little about me:

I'm North (SeedsOfWinter). They/he.

Over the past two and a half decades, I've organized or been a member of organizations that planned meetups, game nights, reunions, and nerd events for friends and strangers alike.

I've been a Good Omens fan since June 2019. I run @rareomens. I am a mod for @ineffableeraszine and @bildadzine. I was a mod for the Our Side Zines, Pin Me Up 2, and many more. I was a founding admin for the LGBTQIA+ Fans of Good Omens groups.

I've been part of convention presentations for Good Omens at The Ineffable Con (virtual) and DragonCon (in-person, Atlanta GA). I love to organize fan photoshoots and meetups.

I know that any attempt at gathering people requires a team to make it happen; and that there's pitfalls and perils to all of it, especially when you're dealing with a bunch of possible strangers meeting for the first time! But the end result (you all getting a chance to connect together as fans) is feeling pretty worth it.

Writer's Guild Presents: Shadwell's Dream Job

Written by niknak90, find them on Reddit and AO3

AKA the Job/Shadwell crackfic that nobody (except Neil himself) asked for. The author regrets nothing and everything at the same time.

3,788 words

CW/TW: M rating, POV Shadwell (including Shadwell-typical misogyny/homophobia), Dream Sex, Dream Crowley/Young Shadwell, Biblical/Historical Inaccuracies, Background Aziraphale/Crowley.

Summary:

After saving the world, Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell is faced with a new nemesis: his own mind, dreaming for the first time. He crosses time and space, encountering witches, demons, angels, and a man that was only a book in the Bible before.

Excerpt:

“Don’t touch me, witch!” Shadwell yanks his hands away and holds out his finger again.

The witch nods. “Aye, I see…you think I cursed you, and yet you come to me for the cure.”

“I don’t want none of your wicked enchantments, witch! I’d rather have nightmares every night than have your magic messing with me!”

“Of course, Witchfinder. I have not any spells or magic potions for your condition. Only a word of advice.”

“Oh, well, advice…that might not be so bad.” He has no intention of following the advice of a witch. She would just lead him down the path of sin. But perhaps he ought to listen, learn what not to do.

“My advice, Witchfinder, is not to read the Good Book. Read anything else you’d like, but not the Bible. I would especially encourage not reading the Book of Job. You won’t find anything of note there in the story of a man tested by God.”

FTH 2024 Auction - Final day!

Here's my link one last time! I'm hoping to raise a nice amount for either National Network to End Domestic Violence or Pollinator Partnership (beeeees!) Both of these organizations accept international donations.

I have 2 fandom auctions, one for deep content editing up to 10,000 words (Good Omens, Venture Bros, Our Flag Means Death), and one for a less than 5k fic up to Mature rating by me (Venture Bros or Good Omens).

My ONLY actual "unwilling to address" is tooth-rotting fluff for the edit; and beyond that, I'm open to whatever in the fic, but check my current fics on AO3 to see what I tend to write that might match your needs. (Basically, I'm good with anything, but I might not be well-tested in some harder topics, and I don't write smut often.)

Transcription:

The table in front of the two of them was covered with bottles. "The point is," said Crowley, "the point is. The point is." He tried to focus on Aziraphale. "The point is," he said, and tried to think of a point. "The point I'm trying to make," he said, brightening, "is the dolphins. That's my point." "Kind of fish," said Aziraphale. "Nononono," said Crowley, shaking a finger. "'S mammal. Your actual mammal. Difference is-" Crowley waded through the swamp of his mind and tried to remember the difference. "Difference is, they-" "Mate out of water?" volunteered Aziraphale. Crowley's brow furrowed. "Don't think so. Pretty sure that's not it. Something about their young. Whatever." He pulled himself together. "The point is. The point is. Their brains." He reached for a bottle. "What about their brains?" said the angel. "Big brains. That's my point. Size of. Size of. Size of damn big brains. And then there's the whales. Brain city, take it from me. Whole damn sea full of brains." "Kraken," said Aziraphale, staring moodily into his glass.

Ayy day 25 and also @rareomens day 25 because crepes.

There is no fire in Heaven.

It’s too close to Hellfire, and the only angels to ever be on fire are demons now. There are bright white lights, brighter than the sky ever is on Earth.

Michael’s office is wide, with high ceilings and windows. Everything is white. There isn’t anything outside but a sort of empty white unnatural sky. This didn't bother her before. It’s full of love, divine love, and she loves it. It just… doesn’t feel like her everything anymore.

Someone knocks on the door.

She snaps her fingers, opens it. “Aziraphale.”

“Archangel Michael,” says Aziraphale. He’s twisting his hands nervously. Good. She is the Archangel Michael, she has to be a bit intimidating.

“I asked you to come here to discuss-”

“Hey, Michael, you're here, I heard your voice! I- oh are you busy?” Jeanne stops short halfway through the door.

Aziraphale raises an eyebrow at Michael.

Michael looks between them. Aziraphale seems more relaxed than he did, and Jeanne looks flustered. She has a stack of papers in her arms and a pen between her fingers.

Michael really tries never to be too busy for Jeanne. “Come in. This is Aziraphale, a Principality. He’s stationed on Earth.”

“Oh,” says Jeanne, weaving around Aziraphale to stand next to Michael. “Nearby, or…”

“Across the channel,” says Michael. “Aziraphale, this is Jeanne.”

“Oh,” says Aziraphale. “Jeanne…?”

Jeanne sets her papers into the air, where they stay floating, and sticks out her right hand. “Saint Jeanne d’Arc. A pleasure.” Her title. She’s professional and put together and kinder than Michael is, it’s her human kindness, and Michael is so so proud of her. 

Aziraphale shakes her hand. “Lovely to meet you, dear girl.”

Jeanne isn't Aziraphale's dear girl, he never knew her when she was alive and he's been on Earth since she died. He doesn't get to call her dear. She is Michael’s dear, Dagon’s dear. Not Aziraphale's. He wasn't there with her. He doesn't get to claim intimacy with her now.

“Did you have a question, Jeanne?” Michael asks.

“Oh, yeah. I'm working on the Earthly residence extension request, and there are a couple of things I'm not sure…” Jeanne leafs through her floating stack of paper. “Here.”

Michael leans over. “One resident, that's you, and opt out of embassy status and all these protective measures - these are restrictions on who can enter. If you opt in, which you could, you'd have to jump through a loophole of specific permissions, but you can't do that on your own…”

“Are you applying for a residence on Earth?” asks Aziraphale.

Aziraphale. He's still here.

“I'm extending mine,” says Jeanne.

“Earth really is a lovely place,” says Aziraphale.

Jeanne nods. “I missed it.”

“Where do you live, on Earth?”

“France.”

“Of course!” says Aziraphale. “The crepes are to die for.”

“Everything there is,” says Jeanne dryly. Anger rises in Michael's stomach on her behalf, but she doesn't seem offended. “I do like the crepes.”

“The charming little cafes,” says Aziraphale fondly. “Have you been to many?”

“Well I don't really…” Jeanne pauses. “I haven't.”

Aziraphale looks horrified. “You are missing out! You must! Why, I'll take you myself!”

“Sure,” says Jeanne.

“Did you have any other questions?” Michael cuts in.

“That was it, just have to sign everything now! Oh, and this is for you.” Jeanne pulls out a folder letter, Michael's name scrawled on the front in Dagon's familiar handwriting. “I thought it was such a sweet idea. Haven't read it.”

“I hope you haven't,” says Michael, hurriedly plucking it out of her hand. She opens it, scans it - it starts Michael, my love, and folds it back up. Dagon wrote her a love letter? Had Jeanne bring it to Michael in Heaven? Bold demon. Silly demon.

She hopes she's not blushing. “Thank you for bringing this.”

Jeanne smiles in that way of hers that suggests the price of using her as a messenger pigeon is relentless references to how sickening they are together. And really, that's all right. Michael miracles a chair for her to finish her forms and turns to Aziraphale. She doesn't have much to say, she's only asking him to come to her first if Gabriel shows up having made any other big decisions. Hopefully this'll give her a chance to talk him down in the future, in the absence of mysterious demons who only Aziraphale has the power to vanquish.

Aziraphale and Jeanne leave together, on their way to some cafe Aziraphale knows. Excellent. Michael has a demon of her own to visit.
