#and then armageddon ensues

[aziraphales-library]

If you don't mind a bit of self-promo, I just finished posting what may be one of my favorite fics I've written. It made me incredibly happy to write and share. It's called "It’s Not Too Bad When You Get Used to It" and is about Aziraphale and Crowley having to wear each other's corporations for much longer than one day at the end of season one. It's aroace, queerplatonic, and full of fluff and humor!

Here's a link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52127296

Thank you to all the mods for all you do, this page is such an incredible resource and it always makes my day to see one of my own fics recced here. <3

Of course we do not mind, my dear! I hope you're proud of your hard work!

It’s Not Too Bad When You Get Used to It by IneffableDoll [Rated T, 28K words]

Following Armageddon’s failure, Aziraphale and Crowley perform the bodyswap, prepared to be captured by Heaven and Hell. But after both factions fail to show up the next day, the angel and demon must pretend to be the other for much longer than anticipated… Hilarity ensues, feelings are felt, and no one anticipated so much breakfast being involved. But that’s ineffability for you.

A Spy in Tartan (A Good Omens Fic)

Summary: A suspicious looking customer leads Crowley and Aziraphale to believe Heaven has sent a spy to destroy them. In reality, you're just a stressed university student. What ensues has a rather embarrassing ending for the angel and demon.

Word Count: 1,355

Pairings: None really but sort of platonic reader with Crowley and Aziraphale

Requested by: @suck-me-sideways

REQUESTS ARE OPEN

The old fashioned looking bookshop in front of you didn’t seem very promising in regards to the textbook you were looking for, but after having no luck at any of the Waterstones in the area, you were willing to try anything. 

Stepping inside you were hit with the smell of old books and…hot chocolate? Given it was spring that seemed an odd drink choice but hey, you didn’t judge. You wandered into the bookstacks nearest you, hoping to find your book. 

Unbeknownst to you a being with slitted yellow eyes was watching you from across the room. He was laid back on a couch, pretending to be interested in the newspaper in his hands. Normally Crowley would be unbothered by a visitor to the shop, but your attire caught his eye. 

You were dressed in brown tartan style pants. A blue button down shirt was tucked into the pants, you finished the look off with a tie that matched the pants and sensible brown shoes. It was your private university’s uniform, not that Crowley knew that. To him, you looked suspiciously angelic. 

Crowley quickly rose to his feet, briskly walking into the back room where his angel was going through a shipment of new books. Aziraphale’s glasses sat on the bridge of his nose as he examined a first edition copy of Dracula. He barely looked up when the demon entered the room. 

Leaning against a stack of heavy boxes, Crowley cleared his throat, “There’s someone here,” Crowley all but hissed. 

“And?” Aziraphale asked, setting the book he was looking at on top of the growing stack on the desk beside him. 

“They look…odd,” Crowley stressed. 

“Like a thief?” Aziraphale asked, eyebrows knitting together thinking of all the books one could steal while both he and Crowley were in the back room. 

“Like an angel,” Crowley answered. 

“An angel?” the angel asked, sounding doubtful. 

“Just…come look!” Crowley said, obviously annoyed at the lack of Aziraphale’s urgency. 

Crowley dragged Aziraphale into the main area of the bookshop, both of them hid behind a bookshelf, watching you browse. Aziraphale had to admit, most humans didn’t wear that much tartan, at least not nowadays. 

“Do you think Heaven’s sent a spy?” Aziraphale asked, worried more about his existence rather than his books now. 

“Possible,” Crowley answered, glaring at the back of your head. “I’m sure they’re looking for some evidence of us breaking more of their damn rules.”

“It’s been years since we stopped armageddon. Why should they care now?” Aziraphale sighed. 

“Slow day at the office,” Crowley shrugged. 

Both Aziraphale and Crowley watched as you groaned and made your way to leave the store, perhaps annoyed you didn't see either of them. In reality you were annoyed as your last resort was to go to the otherside of London to look there in a shop that claimed to have it in stock. 

You left the bookshop, texting your flatmates you may be home late as you started your way to the closest Tube entrance that would take you to your next destination. 

“We’ll need to keep an eye on that one,” Crowley said once you were gone. 

“Agreed,” Aziraphale replied, a worried frown on his face. 

*

The next few weeks for you were filled with classes and schoolwork. You spent as much time with your friends as you could, as the school year was coming to a close in only a few months. 

Meanwhile, Aziraphale and Crowley kept tabs on you, following you around campus, to the pub, to the supermarket, quite literally anywhere but your own flat. The best part is, they thought they were rather clever, going unnoticed. 

But after seeing the same rather odd pair of men for a week, you knew you were being followed, but you couldn’t quite determine why. They didn’t seem particularly threatening, especially the one in tartan, so you let it go. 

You first noticed them while buying spices and herbs for a curry you were making with one of your flatmates. The two were an aisle down from you, pretending to heavily examine a can of chowder. 

“What you reckon they need those for?” Crowley asked Aziraphale, eyeing your basket full of herbs. 

“Perhaps they know a witch who’s going to place a curse on us,” Aziraphale spoke. 

“I’d like to see them try,” Crowley hissed, slamming the can he was holding onto the shelf before stalking away, Aziraphale following closely behind.

Another odd sighting was at your favorite cafe. You were studying for an upcoming test, taking notes from your religion textbook. Private schools, always heavy on religion. 

The two looked so out of place it almost made you laugh. 

Aziraphale eyed you over his mug of tea, Crowley had already downed his, 6, maybe 7, shots of espresso and was openly glaring at you. 

“They’re studying religion,” Aziraphale observed. 

Crowley sneered, “Probably looking for execution methods.”

It really didn’t help your case that they rarely ever saw you in anything other than your uniform. All it really did was only further cement the two’s beliefs that you were sent to earth in an attempt to destroy them. 

It was three weeks from when the two first started stalking you that you decided to confront them after your classes. You traveled to the bookshop, mentally preparing to scream for help in case they were actually psychos. 

You headed inside the shop, the bell signaling your arrival. The man you’d seen dressed rather similarly to yourself walked out of a stack of books, a greeting dying on his tongue when he saw it was you. 

“Crowley!” the man shouted, and in literal seconds the other man who’d been following you, a rather tall thing with flaming red hair, appeared beside the shorter man. 

“What are you doing here?” Crowley, you now knew, spat at you, crossing his arms. 

“I should be asking you what you have been doing following me around like a serial killer,” you retorted, crossing your own arms, glaring. You couldn’t see Crowley’s eyes behind his dark glasses but you knew he must have been glaring as well. 

“Oh drop the act!” Crowley told you, “We’ve figured out your plan!”. 

You felt like you were being punk’d, “What plan?” you asked incredulously. 

“Your plan to destroy us! We’ve seen you gathering your supplies, writing down information! We know Heaven sent you!,” Aziraphale cried. 

Both demon and angel became rather confused when you started to laugh immediately. 

Your only thought was that these two had to be insane, but you had to know why. 

“Heaven? Like in the sky?” you asked between giggles. 

“Obviously, I mean look at you, you wear that stupid tartan almost every day!” Crowley exclaimed. “No offense” he added to Aziraphale, who was rather fond of the pattern. 

“My university uniform?” you asked, beginning to laugh again. 

“U-University?” Aziraphale stuttered. 

“Yes, the one a few streets down? I know it's unsightly but I didn’t choose the uniform,” you said, shrugging. 

Aziraphale looked to Crowley’s whose lips had formed a straight line as he stared you down, hoping to spot a lie so he didn’t look like even more an arse than he admittedly was.

“Look, I don’t know who you think I am, but I promise I have no plan to destroy you, and even if I did, you two are much too odd to destroy,” you laughed. 

Crowley and Aziraphale shared a look, knowing they were wrong but not really wanting to admit they’d just followed around some poor random university student for nearly a month. 

Aziraphale was the first to speak up, “Well my dear, may I offer you some hot chocolate and we will perhaps…apologize for our rudeness?”. 

You smiled, “Sounds like a plan,” you told him, “What was your name?”. 

“Oh! Where are my manners? I’m Aziraphale,” the man answered, giving you a polite handshake before leaving the room to make your hot chocolate. Crowley followed him, giving you one last look of suspicion over his shoulder as he did so. 

You could have sworn you heard Crowley mutter, “I’m not doing the dance,” as he walked away. 

A/N: Thank you so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! If you send in a request please know I work full time M-F and may not get to it immediately but will try my best! Once again, thank you for reading and please let me know what you thought!

[superman86to99]

Via @fortressofbaileytude... NEW TRIANGLE ERA OMNIBUS SERIES ANNOUNCED! HOT DANG! Time to save up those $125, which amounts to roughly nineteen cab rides in Metropolis.

The first omnibus will cover from "Krisis of the Krimson Kryptonite" to "Metropolis Mailbag," including "Time and Time Again!," "The Red Glass Trilogy," "The Return of the Krypton Man," "Blackout," Intergang's fall, Jimmy Olsen's homeless adventures, and most of the Cerberus storyline, stopping right before "Panic in the Sky!" (which was recently reprinted, but hopefully gets re-reprinted in a second omnibus). That's a SOLID chunk of comics there, most of which haven't seen print in over 30 years! I believe a lot of them aren't available digitally either, for whatever reason.

Some personal favorite issues from this period that have never been reprinted before include the teen Clark vs. drunk driving story, the Lois and Clark talk in the mountains story, the sideways Atomic Skull double feature, Mr. Z's debut (and his ensuing evolution into lovable island goof), the incredible "Blackout" finale, the everyone ends up dancing at Bibbo's while Professor Hamilton plays the piano issue, and Waverider's first encounter with the Linear Men (sadly, the "Armageddon 2001" annuals don't seem to be included, though those should probably go in their own omni with the rest of that storyline).

Now, since the previous "Exile and Other Stories" omnibus stopped in November '89 and in this one starts in November '90, this still leaves a years' worth of Post-Crisis Superman comics in the dark, including essential stuff like "The Brainiac Trilogy" and Hank Henshaw's first appearances (while others like "The Day of the Krypton Man", "Dark Knight Over Metropolis," and Luthor's totally real death HAVE been collected but are long out of print). Here's hoping this sells strongly enough to not only guarantee at least one more volume covering the entire period leading up to "The Death of Superman," but also a volume 0 with the '89-'90 stuff. Oh, and the missing annuals. And the "World of..." minis. And Luthor's biography (edit: I've been reminded this is in the President Luthor trade, still in print, but it'd still be nice to have it here). And the Earth Day comic. And...

Anyway, it's probably time to update that Guide to Superman '86 to '99 Collected Editions post we did like 10 years ago, huh.

Timeline of Suspicious Events Brain Dump - PART 1

OK, I gotta get this out of my brain and onto some kinda page so here we go! Spoilers galore in here probably

I feel there's far too many instances of Incredibly Convenient Timing™ throughout season two so I gotta get these written down. Leaving out the minisodes for now since, until I watch them through again, I feel they're mainly there to provide character background and show Aziraphale's arc from naive to more understanding of the deep cruelty of Heaven. Dropping the rest under the cut!

Semi-chronological events:

Armageddidn't - Beelzebub and Gabriel discuss how that shit was supremely fucked.

Bar 1 and 2 - Beez and Gab meet up again and agree NOT to do Armageddon 2 Electric Boogaloo. NOTE: in BOTH these instances, the same two guys are at the table behind them playing chess, then cards. Very suspicious.

Bar 3 - Beez and Gab set up the Every Day phenomenon in Edinburgh and Gab receives the fly. I couldn't see the dudes from the previous bar in the background this time but not sure.

Heaven - Gabriel refuses to start Armageddon 2. They seem to move on.

Heaven - An unknown amount of time later, Gabriel is put on trial by the Metatron and sentenced to a big demotion. He 'goes to clean out his desk' and flees to Earth. CONVENIENTLY, the Metatron essentially lets him go ("Should we sound an alarm?" "Oh don't be so wet. You'll all just have to find him." This is suspicious because we KNOW the disdain he has for the angels' competence.)

We then see Aziraphale get the message from Maggie that she wants to talk, which has three suspicious elements for me: That she left a note instead of coming to talk to him, the misspelling (ugrency), and then the odd fake crying. Everything about this interaction feels strange and scripted for a planned interaction, whether Maggie knows it or not. Why did she wait 8 months to bring up the late rent?

Sometime after this, or perhaps during, Shax and Crowley discuss in the park about "something going down in the Up. UP up." I feel like this implies that Beez already knows Gab was getting fired, but I'm speculating heavily here. But clearly SOMEONE in Hell knows something was going on, OR Hell already knows about the Second Coming being on the agenda.

Gabriel arrives to GREAT AND DRAMATIC FANFARE at the Bookshop. Sure, a naked man is novel, but LOTS of weird people are constantly shown in the background of most outdoor shots throughout both seasons. I find it EXTREMELY STRANGE that the ENTIRE street plus cars all stop and crowd around to watch Gabriel arrive. The cars even block the streets! It's VERY strange.

Aziraphale calls Crowley, who's driving Somewhere™. They agree to meet at the cafe across the street. Awkwardness about the 'naked man friend' ensues, etc.

The two move to the bookshop and cross Maggie along the way. They make a point of having her call Aziraphale 'an angel' and refuse food. Likely a red herring but worth noting.

Crowley meets 'Jim' and loses his shit. I agree it's very Interesting™ that Crowley says to 'ask him properly', as this ties in to suspicious memory related stuff throughout the season.

Crowley leaves and gets hit by lightning. We see the lightning hit the cafe door and some lights. I do wonder WHY it did though - it didn't hit any other shops, why only Nina's cafe, and while Maggie happened to be there? AND it affected their phones? It's just a LOT to get them stuck in the cafe together 'til later.

Crowley gets summoned to Hell by Beez and the Housefly Brigade and learns about the Book of Life threat. We heard this over the phone with Michael earlier. Crowley doubts the existence of the Book, so we know there's a threat out there but can't be sure it's real.

SIDE THOUGHT: Michael says anyone involved could be struck from the Book of Life but at the end of e06, the Metatron says Michael 'has no such authority'. This brings up a huge 'who said what to whom?' gap we absolutely need to fill. Where did Michael get the Book of Life idea if not from the Metatron?

The Husbands do their giant miracle as a direct result of the above dubious threat, which directly triggers Heaven suspecting the bookshop as Gabriel's hideout. This is our first major 'convenient plot progression' flag, I think.

Next modern day segments are intercut with the Job minisode. Here we learn about the Every Day song that Gabriel, surprisingly, can remember. It feels likely that love can make you remember things you lost, so I doubt this particular event is Too Convenient.

On the other hand, it feels Too Convenient that of all the record shops, MAGGIE'S shop is the one supplying records to that particular pub up in Edinburgh? That seems an awfully long way off. It's like 7.5 hours!

Point 2: This interaction with Maggie is extremely strange. She's idly flipping through records until Aziraphale comes in, and then she stands there very blankly until bursting into very dubious tears about Nina. I don't know about you but I feel it very strange for anyone who WASN'T comfortable to directly come talk to their landlord to suddenly wax poetic about their 'doomed love life'. And then immediately pivot to the song/records/pub. We also learn Nina has a partner here but Azi just. Ignores this later?

IMMEDIATELY after this, the Archangels make a surprise visit and because Maggie's convenient outburst was on his mind, he pretends THAT was what the giant miracle was about. This is our second major 'convenient plot progression' flag.

Right after this is the meetup in the pub. CONVENIENTLY this is right when Mr. Brown (of Brown's World of Carpets) happens to be getting a drink, rather than running his store. He has his clipboard with him and everything, and pins the Monthly Shop Associates Meeting on Aziraphale. I think this is awfully convenient and becomes our third major suspicious plot flag.

After this, Aziraphale and Crowley discuss having to set up Nina and Maggie. These two dinguses go straight to 'we have to make them actually fall in love!' instead of coming up with a scam plan like they did in the Job minisode. I don't know what to make of this, but I figure the two of them are just so flustered by everything they don't come up with, well... a smarter plan.

IMPORANT: Before the Job Minisode the clock nearby says it's 5:20pm. When Aziraphale comes back from his apparent reverie, Crowley is gone and it's freaking 6:30pm! That's a big gap to fill.

UHHH HAVE WE DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT THE RESURRECTIONIST PUB ADDRESS IS 66 GOAT GATE EDINBURGH? 66 GOAT? THAT SEEMS VERY SUSPICIOUS DOES IT NOT?

Here Crowley learns a) that Maggie and Nina got stuck in the cafe together after his tantrum, b) Nina has a partner and c) Nina doesn't appear terribly interested in Maggie. He never seems to mention this to Aziraphale.

Aziraphale asks for the Bentley to go investigate the pub. I find it very strange that he's determined to go by car when car = 7.5hrs, train = 5hrs, and plane = 1.5hrs. Why you gotta leave for 16+hrs Aziraphale??

The next day, Muriel shows up to 'inspect' the miracle. Both Aziraphale and Crowley can see that they (Muriel) are out of their depth and extremely inexperienced. This is their SECOND chance to make shit up like they did with Job!

It really feels like Saraquiel was trying to do them a solid and they fuckin flubbed it lol

[lvndrlondonfog]

ok so basically I saw your post asking for prompts and I have been thinking for days about cat good omens . again. let me explain

so a while back I wrote a super fucking long cat omens fic (long for me at least) where they’re stray cats, it’s called strays on the street, almost 60k words. BUT in my head is ANOTHER CAT AU where they are warrior cats ok idk if you’ve ever read those books but there’s hundreds of them and they’re about clans of cats who fight and hunt and fuck and it’s crazy and not child appropriate. I was reading cats get mauled and give birth graphically in 2nd grade but anyway I WANNA READ THEM AS WARIROR CATS OR WRITE IT MAYBE?? Cuz all I’ve written is this snippet from my notes app from weeks ago

/ “I’m sorry,” Serpentfang gurgled, his eyes rolling back in his head, his paws convulsing as he tried to reach for Angelwing. But the white tom stepped back. /

NO CONTETX NOTHING IDK WHAT

but anyway i also need more fanart and fic of crowley with greying hair. same with azi tbh but especially Crowley i want them growing old together in the sense that they don’t have to grow old but they choose to :) ))) also i want an au where crowley becomes Duke of hell post s2 just to send petty notes through heavens administration

SORRY MY ADHD DOES NOT LET ME HAVE A STRAIFHT LINE OF THOUGHT AJSSJDK anyway i am all for new tumblerers and if you have an ao3 or something id love to follow it incase you do write or post anything! <3 random ideas to shoot at ya: sailor aziraphale x siren Crowley, crowley pretending to date furfur post s2 to get supreme archangel aziraphale’s attention, muriel trying to get Crowley and aziraphale back together PARENT TRAP STYLE, orrrr yknow what sweet and fluffy aziraphale reading and drinking tea in south downs cottage while snake Crowley listens to him read aloud and sips from his cup with his silly forked tongue

GO CRAZY (and also be my mutual? 💍)

OH ABSOLUTELY. Warriors cats was my SHIT growing up, and sosososos many ideas I cannot thank you enough: I’ll link one of my fics below and I just started writing so they aren’t AMAZING but decent I think still!!! Ones about Angel Crowley finding inspiration for the entire universe after one (1) passing glance at a specific Angel and the other about Crowley struggling a bit after the fall, past angst but wings and fluff!!!

THOUGH I ABSOLUTELY GET ZERO STRAIGHT LINES OF THOUGH FELLOW ADHDER SO LEMME SEE IF I CAN RESPOND TO ALL OF THESE AKFKRLS

So basically I have also thought about warrior cats au before and BASICALLY

Crowley is a dark forest cat (kicked out like Ashfur) and Aziraphale is a Starclan cat!!!! Remember in the first books when they have to move from the original forest bc it was getting chopped down? Instead of moving, Starclan saw no way out of that and was like “what if they all just die instead than problem solved and we never have to worry about issues ever again?”

Crowley and Aziraphale are obviously like NO THATS A BAD IDEA and after an accidental meeting at the foggy border between Starclan and the dark forest, they are both elected by their respective forces to take over two clan’s medicine cat’s bodies and make sure that the 9 layers of Armageddon that Starclan is sending to wipe out the clans will go through. Instead, they try to thwart things while each dealing with clan life once again, and of course, shenanigans ensue!

Okay growing older I literally love the idea of as they drift further from their respective sides, they lose more and more of their ethereal powers, but it means they can be together and be left alone. While it’s a sacrifice that they’re both willing to make, it does come with some unintended side effects (mostly for Crowley; human bodies don’t tend to handle a million year free-style dives into pits of boiling sulphur too well) but they again find ways. Essentially a lot of fluff post-Armageddon’t and s2 in the South Downs Cottage????

And thirdly what if post S2, Crowley doesn’t really know what to do with himself but he’s PISSED. And there is no more “their” side, only Crowley’s side and he’s not exactly thrilled to be back alone. He has nothing else to do and he wants petty revenge, so he matched Aziraphale’s position as Supreme Archangel as a Duke Of Hell, mainly as an excuse to fuck with Aziraphale and make sure that Aziraphale won’t be able to forget about him any time soon, because Crowley certainly hasn’t thought about him.

AND TWO SPLIT ROUTES ONE ANGST ONE CRACK

1) With nobody left on Earth, Crowley and Aziraphale are out of the loop and before they realize it, the second coming had happened. Earth is dead, and Heaven and Hell are preparing for war once again. Meeting on the battlefields, each full of anger and with nothing left to go back to, what will happen? Either they fight and one accidentally wounds the other before they’re both like OH SHIT WAIT WAIT WAIT THIS IS STUPID MISTAKES HAVE BEEN MADE or one is hurt by the enemy side and found by the other; how do they stick together when no place is safe anymore?

OR NOT HORREDNOUS ANGST

2) Crowley finds out about the second coming, which he doesn’t think Aziraphale knows about, and vice Versa. Cue notes with ridiculous clues and stupid Spelling Things Out with random capitals to send a message, and completely obliviousness on both sides because they’re too desperate to get their own sides across that they don’t even stop to consider that the other may Also be trying to send a message. Cue increasingly grand gestures from both sides before Aziraphale shows up at Crowley’s office holding the Son of God, and they have to figure out how to stop the second coming while finding out ways to acknowledge the emotional damage they both still carry from their last meeting in the bookshop

Sailor x Siren writes itself: maybe shipwrecked Aziraphale finds Very Almost Miraculously Convenient things on this abandonded island that he’s trying to survive on, before one night he finds a certain someone repairing the broken boat little by little. They get scared off before they can talk but Azi leaves an offering back, and cue not-meeting-but-absolutely-communicating until actual meeting than bam! Eventually they both realize that there’s nobody getting him off this island and the ultimate choice for Aziraphale to drown and become a siren too, he takes the offer and is literally just held by siren!Crowley as he takes his last breath and a bit of suspense before BOOM REBORN HAPPY ENDING YIPEE!!

Than dating Furfur to cause jealousy, specifically knowing how similar the two can look, Crowley makes it VERY obvious that he’s complimenting and highlighting all the similar traits of Aziraphale but TO SOMEONE ELSE. Aziraphale refuses to directly confront but cue more and more aggressive signs from the heavens that try to break them apart that Crowley keeps spinning into good things. Aziraphale convinces Muriel child-of-divorce style to miraculously decorate the bookshop that Crowley had been living in to an EXTREME for Valentine’s Day, and Crowley spins it into ‘I did this myself’ for FurFur. Eventually, Aziraphale gets so spun up that he can no longer focus on the planning (or thwarting) of the second coming and gets so pissed with Crowley little shithead antics that he leaves the rambunctious 10 yo son of Christ at the door, with a small note reading something along the lines of ‘Fine, deal with this yourself than; PS this is Jesus!’ And the exact opposite silence, Crowley flailing to win Aziraphale’s good graces and communicate with him, handling Jesus, and dealing with some growing guilt after Furfur genuinely seemed to become attached. Not sure how this would end, but probably Crowley working through everything on his own, separate sides angst, alternating POV chapters, and they ultimately team up again to solve all the issues

Also for Parent trap Au: Muriel and the Bentley power-duo: Crowley’s depressed so Muriel can use the Bentley, and it drives Muriel places and hints at what to do next ect ect while Muriel figures out human stuff, romance, heaven, and after numerous failed attempts- a happy ending for the wonderous Mr.Fell and Mr.Crowley who had taken her in before!

Also Absolutely Dyslexic Crowley having pretended to just really hate books for the longest time, but Aziraphale eventually noticed that Crowley struggles to read menus and other stuff too- just poor eyesight and with knowledge being the root of the original sin, heaven found it quite ironic to block that in more than a few ways for the very demons who perpetuate sin! Confrontation, and eventually Crowley gives in and cue absolute fluff; Aziraphale reads and finds a new side of Crowley, who despite what he had spent many years convincing himself, actually ends up enjoying various things and even asking further questions and speculating and thinking about things (which Aziraphale is more than thrilled about to finally have someone to discuss with!)

Also I am currently on SOS Internet on the drive home, so I can’t risk opening a new webpage lest everything is risked but my Ao3 is LvndrLemonade! Top two fics are what I was talking about earlier and I will absolutely keep you updated on these ideas!!!!!!!!! Thank you for allowing me to yell I love all of tjeese sosososso much oh my god

Good Omens - Behind the Scenes at Tadfield Manor

Excerpt from The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion:

Eleven years later, on his return to the scene of the diabolical switcheroo, this time with Aziraphale in tow, Crowley finds himself in a very different setting. Gone are the Satanic Nuns of the Chattering Order of St. Beryl’s and their movements in the shadows. Now, with St. Beryl’s never having risen from the ashes, they find the building transformed. Instead, the demon and his angelic associate walk into Tadfield Manor, which has been converted into a venue for office teambuilding away days. Across the manor grounds, an interdepartmental paintball skirmish is in full swing. Naturally, in the presence of such entities, the exercise becomes something altogether more dangerous and deadly.

“Michael Ralph [production designer] did a fantastic job of transforming the forecourt outside the building by dressing it as a battle zone,” says [first assistant director] Cesco Reidy. “We had military vehicles, camouflage nets and an obstacle course. It really was fit for purpose as an adventure playground for grown-ups with guns.”

In order to make the most of the conflict and the chaos that ensues, Douglas Mackinnon and the director of photography, Gavin Finney, called in the high-speed Phantom camera.

“You see it used on football replays, shooting a ridiculous number of frames per second,” explains script supervisor Jemima Thomas. “We wanted to see the paintballs flying as Crowley and Aziraphale walk through in super slow mo, and we staged and choreographed it carefully so they didn’t get splattered.”

While the pair depart without a mark on them, leaving bedlam in their wake, there’s no escaping the enormity of the task they face. For the Antichrist is missing, and Armageddon a matter of days away.

Especially from the Angel Gabriel, and through it all, all he can think about is Aziraphale, and hopes that his friend is still in hiding. Crowley only hopes that he can escape before the Angel's kill him, but is help closer than he realizes.

Takes place directly after the bus ride in episode 6. Aziraphale rejects Crowley's offer to come home with him, only to change his mind. He finds the puddle of Holy Water and assumes he's too late.

Black Lines by Eladriel Summary:

Two years after the not-apocalypse Crowley gets attacked by an old enemy and left with a wound that will kill him slowly. What will Aziraphale do when he finds out? Will they find a way to safe him?

Holy Mistakes by winterspirit13 Summary:

anonymous asked: Can you do a piece where Crowley is accidentally burned by the holy water Aziraphale gave him, and while it isn't enough to kill him he's hurt real bad and Aziraphale feels super guilty? I love your blog!

When Aziraphale gives Crowley the thermos full of holy water, it's like a leap of faith for the angel. Crowley basks in the newfound trust, but that's quickly taken away. Hurt, he sulks, and things get out of hand when Aziraphale won't pick up the phone. One thing leads to the next, and there's a very hurt demon being helped by a very worried, guilty angel.

Things turn out for the best, somehow.

I Stretch Out My Hands by sherlocktheholmes Summary:

With no final prophecy from Agnus Nutter, and no word from Heaven or Hell for months, Aziraphale and Crowley are cautiously optimistic that neither of them will face retribution. They never considered that they should fear personal revenge.

My Life With You Means Everything, So I Won't Give Up That Easily by PositivePumpkin for jessikast Summary:

After the apocalypse, house hunting with Aziraphale gets an interruption. Or, Crowley is summoned by some humans who actually want to start the apocalypse.

Palliative Practices by VerdantVulpus  Summary:

Based on the following prompt. What if every time Crowley does a good deed, he suffers pain after because it goes against his demonic nature (and the greater the good, the more intense the pain)? Then Aziraphale finds out that Crowley has been living with that pain ever since the Arrangement. or 5 times Crowley masked his pain and 1 time he accepted help.

Hell Freezes Over by lilac341 Summary:

Crowley is not supposed to be cold. Or silent. Or still. Heaven puts an icy curse on Crowley to get rid of him once and for all. Aziraphale must find out how to unfreeze his demon companion. Tenderness and angst ensue.

let sleeping snakes lie by kythen Summary:

The world doesn't end. Crowley falls asleep. And Aziraphale stays by his side, waiting for him to wake up again.

Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach by Nnm Summary:

As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following: --His clothing was expensive and stylish; --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne; --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;” --He looked angry; --He was wearing sunglasses. What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

Growing Pains by hope_in_the_dark Summary:

“So if he comes back, you’ll… what? Take him into your arms, let him back into your life? No questions asked?” Crowley grunted. The therapist — Mark, Nina had said — was sitting forward in his chair, looking at Crowley with a kind smile and wide eyes. He was what the humans would call ‘emotionally intelligent.’ Crowley was looking to tap into a little of that. Crowley goes to therapy, because he needs it. This is a story of healing, learning, growing, and an eventual happy ending. Post-Season-2.

And Will Again by justajemreally  Summary:

Crowley hasn’t breathed for seventeen minutes. His heart has thumped twice in that time.

The Deepest Pit by EdosianOrchids901 Summary:

Stricken by unexplained depression, Crowley gets stuck in bed. He can’t even cheer up once Aziraphale comes to check on him. But as always, Aziraphale is happy to keep him company even in the darkest moments.

All Good Hearts are Heavy by Sarah_hadeschild Summary:

Crowley has always dealt with bouts of depression-- periods in which he cannot bring himself to do much more than exist. Over the centuries, he grew accustomed to enduring these episodes on his own. But now, Aziraphale is with him. And although the angel cannot miracle away his lover's distress, he can try the only remedy he knows with any certainty. He can love him. (A comfort one-shot with lots of love, and very little plot)

Late For Lunch by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowley and Aziraphale have a lunch date and Crowley is running late. He just can't seem to pull himself off of his couch, but he knows he has to get up, has to be there for his angel… He just can't seem to do it. Part 1

Never Late for Lunch by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowely's late for lunch and Aziraphale grows worried. The demon is never late for lunch, well, at least never this late. After not hearing from his friend for a stretch of time, the angel finally brings himself to go check on Crowley, but he isn't prepared for the state he finds his friend in. He immediately wants to help Crowley, but what if there isn't anything he can do? Aziraphale's POV of Late for Lunch

Cold Showers and Dark Thoughts by obsidian_boi Summary:

Crowley's sleep is plagued with nightmares and when he wakes from one, he doesn't want to disturb his angel. Dragging himself to the shower instead, Crowley succumbs to his dark thoughts. Will his angel find him in time?

Rushing In, Rushing Out by Smooty Summary:

Crowley has a nightmare

walk like christ in grace and love by wartimelovers Summary:

“Just tell me, please, if it hurts too much.” As if, Crowley thought. Would be a funny old world if we told each other how we feel. or Crowley feels some very human effects of stepping on consecrated ground and Aziraphale tries to help.

Somebody to Love by Bookwormgal  Summary:

Everyone knows that demons can’t feel love. It was one of those well-established facts that no one even bothered to doubt anymore. The sky is blue, the Ineffable Plan was beyond comprehension or understanding, angels do not question or doubt Her commands, and demons can’t love. Angels could sense love and none of them ever sensed love in the presence of demons. Everyone considered that to be conclusive evidence and moved on. Believing otherwise was foolish and a waste of time. But while it was considered an unquestionable fact of the universe, it wasn’t quite accurate. Demons were perfectly capable of feeling love. Any form of love. Despite common knowledge and despite the fact that the Fall ensured that they could no longer sense Her love, demons can experience love. What demons can’t do, however, is feel love and survive.

Tension by supernaturaltimemachine Summary:

"Crowley was in pain. Not the acceptable kind either. Not anything human, like loss or doubt or a stubbed toe. Living on earth more than made up for those inconveniences. No, what Crowley was feeling was ethereal." Or, Crowley's wings hurt, and Aziraphale is determined to do something about it.

But that’s ineffability for you. * Prewritten; will update every three days until completion. Come back on December 29th to binge!

A silly romp of Aziraphale and Crowley poorly playacting as each other, with fluff and feels because I can't help myself. Queerplatonic, aroace, lots of banter and humor! Book vibes and characterization with season one canon.

[ineffable-kelpie]

An AU in which Gabriel and Beelzebub are the earthly representatives for heaven and hell instead of Aziraphale and Crowley. Over the millennia, they wile and thwart and compete in a complicated game of their own devising. Eventually, they discover that they have a lot in common.

Series rating: T

Works: 6/6

Total wordcount: 105,063

Another series self-promo for the end of aro week! This series focuses on the development of a platonic relationship between this AU's Gabriel and Beelzebub. Some later works in the series, namely "A Critique of Abstract Minimalism" and "Green Stripes," explicitly discuss Gabriel's aromanticism (and are fairly short, if you're looking for aro fic but aren't up for reading the entire series).

(Keep in mind that this was written long before season 2. I'm not interested in comparing this to their canon relationship.)

(Breakdown of individual fics under the cut)

Ineffable Rivalry (rated G, 37K words, 15 chapters)

Gabriel, the guardian of the Eastern Gate, and Beelzebub, the fly of Eden, get off on exactly the wrong foot when they meet in the garden, kicking off a six-thousand-year competition of thwarting and counter-thwarting. Hijinks ensue.

Choose your Faces Wisely (rated T, 56K words, 17 chapters)

After Gabriel and Beelzebub thwart Armageddon, Aziraphale and Crowley team up to get them off the hook, and realize that they both much prefer Earth to their home offices. Crowley hatches a scheme that will let him stay there for good, and give Beelzebub a chance at their dream job. It's win-win. Nothing can go wrong. Everything goes wrong.

Animal Hamlet (rated G, 5K words, 1 chapter)

Being asked on a date by Aziraphale is the best thing that has ever happened to Crowley. It's also completely terrifying.

A Critique of Abstract Minimalism (rated G, 3.6K words, 1 chapter)

Valentine’s Day is an awkward time for Gabriel, since he’s never felt that kind of love and recently found out that isn’t true of all angels. He wasn’t planning to leave his apartment today, until his mortal-enemy-turned-friend Beelzebub convinced him to go make fun of abstract art with them. Now he’s stuck explaining the exact thing he was trying to avoid thinking about.

Green Stripes (rated G, 1.5K words, 1 chapter)

After they save the world from Armageddon, Gabriel and Beelzebub attend their first pride parade, and talk about the queerness of their identities.

In Another Life (rated G, 1.6K, 2 chapters)

Crowley wakes from a vivid dream about another life, in which he and Aziraphale have known each other for six thousand years.

#there are a lot of great recs going around for aro week but not enough long series I think #so I've decided to post both my aro series that are so long nobody who sees this post will want to read them #arospec fans here's another one to add to your 'to read' list and then never open again #to be clear I am okay with this #arospec fans deserve to be represented in massive fics they add to their 'to read' list and then never open again #cyankelpie's fic #ineffable bureaucracy #aro week

Aziraphale and Crowley as a detective/magician duo

(this meta has lived as a series of half written notes in my Notes app since August... so it's time!)

One of the things I love the most about Aziraphale and Crowley in both seasons and the book is looking at them solving problems. It is, mostly, what these two are all about:

They have a problem (the Antichrist has arrived, we have misplaced the Antichrist, we have to prevent Armageddon, we need to fool Heaven and Hell, we have Gabriel hidden in the bookshop, we need to save Job's kids, we need to make Nina and Maggie fall in love)

They develop a convoluted plan

They mismanage it (shenanigans ensue, obviously)

They find a way to make it work, nonetheless

When they have no specific problems to solve, they get antsy/bored (look at Crowley and his "what's he point" attitude at the beginning of season 2, and listen to the idea of Aziraphale calling him to "report" his good deeds now that he doesn't have Heaven to report to).

But when they develop and display their convoluted plans, they have different abilities that we have to take into consideration. We know that these two are “complementary”, and that they started being one character a long time ago (my babies!!!), so they have split evenly the use of their brain cells and powers to keep us aware of that. Let's review them, then!

Aziraphale is better with documental research: that was him on season 1, thinking about archives, reviewing the prophecies of Agnes Nutter, cross-referencing the Bible… and that was also what he was doing during season 2 with the newspaper clips: finding a common thread which conducts him to an interesting learning. He develops hypothesis (such as the telephone number on season 1, and The Clue in season 2).

On the other hand, the natural "leg work" detective is Crowley. Aziraphale loved playing the part (that's for another segment!), but Crowley was the one who solved the Jimbriel case in season 2, through asking questions and going to the place where he knew he would find answers. He is the one who knows how to drill, too: he does that all the time with Aziraphale (for example, the first conversation in the coffee) and the "powers of interrogation" he uses with Mary Loquacious and with Jimbriel. His ability to ask great questions becomes more evident when he makes Jim react to his questions though season 2 (my favorite is the “where is your memory?” one). He knows about his talent, too: after the drill, he finally trusts Jim.

I have EXACTLY ONE hypothesis regarding this: Crowley has a special "gift" for asking questions that are going to be truthfully answered. That's why he is the one insisting "ask him PROPERLY!" and then getting to "unlock" Jim's reactions once and again. That's also why he usually is the "bad cop" of our duo: he is used to getting answers doing things his way. I would say that his answer to the sarcastic "you looked into my secret soul" from Nina (when asking about the probability of taking refuge under the awning) was sincere and had to do with this: "Well, that's a knack".

This doesn't mean that Aziraphale cannot get things done!!! Nothing farther from the truth. His special gift for getting people to do things and give him answers has to do with his "nice" side: he makes "strong emotional suggestions". Want some examples? He does this with former Mary Loquacious and with Adam in season 1, and with Mr. Dalrymple and with the men in the cemetery in season 2. Even the invitations and The Ball can be seen as a modality of this... As well as the failure of it when he tries to "convince" Nina and Maggie to forget everything and go with Crowley. That's why he usually is the "good cop".

Another pair of powers that complement one another: while Aziraphale detects love (as stated in season 1), Crowley detects "ethereal forces": he is in charge of reviewing if "there is anyone looking" in season 1 before they undo the body swap, he is the one who checks if the half miracle "took", he is the one who feels the demons coming. Aziraphale usually depends on listening to the signal that angels are visiting to know they are coming, Crowley tends to notice "something's off" earlier than that.

They both are a disaster as undercover agents, as much as they love to do it. However, Crowley tends to be a little better in performing the part (even when he absolutely overdresses for it), while Aziraphale is mostly a lovely "ham". Why do I say this? because both Nanny Ashtoreth and MurderBee! Crowley were visually too much, but his attitude while in disguise is mostly credible (for someone with that look, that is). When we see "undercover" Aziraphale, he is not only overdressed as the stereotype for the part (Brother Francis, Newspaperman, Magician), but he also oversells the part: his voice, his phrases, his movements, his demeanor... Everything in him is upped to eleven. That silly angel warms my heart so much!!! (now I'm thinking about how will he perform the Supreme Archangel role, and if it will be something of the sort. Ouch).

When working together, they mostly share their brain cells. I'll not make the analysis of each and every time they have done this (it would require to make a full analysis of season 1, and I don't have the energy to do so), but I'll make a quick run over what they made together during season 2:

Their first "work" in the season was hiding Jim. Crowley proposes the miracle plan, Aziraphale polishes it, proposing the use of half a miracle each. It works "a little too well".

When working around the Nina + Maggie situation, Aziraphale proposes the romance (with a Jane Austen novel style solution), Crowley tries to polish it (with a Richard Curtis movie solution). They try it in the inverse order: first, Crowley tries his solution because he got the opportunity to do so; it fails (too much rain -> not knowing when to stop). Aziraphale complicates his plan even further, adding the problem they found in the pub (the shopkeeper's association). I believe I've already said somewhere else that yeah, this is an anxious entity biting more than they can chew. The Ball becomes TOO MUCH (again, scarily so -> Aziraphale doesn't know when to stop, either)

If you love "narrative foils" then their next couple of "jobs" are your cup of tea:

Job as their "first job"

Crawly plans it (he saw the flood, so he's trying to use "malicious compliance" to avoid killing everything and everyone)

Then, Aziraphale deduces it (and trusts Crawly's vision and "inherent goodness", even when he tries to act all scary: first just for Aziraphale, then in front of the kids)

They execute the final number alternating the solutions:

Crawly is the obstetrician (magician) who says "trust me" to Sitis (who is nervous and about to condemn all the thing).

Aziraphale is the helper who inserts the ox-ribs in Job's tunic (and indicates their position to Crawly, who is conducting the misdirection). He is the one who will really be fooling the angels.

Crawly puts the lizard children in position, to execute the final part of the trick.

Aziraphale transforms them, without a problem, the crowd cheers.

Then, Job's children spoil things and they have to solve the problem with a little less grace, but it gets Crawly and Aziraphale closer and in the route of becoming a group of the two of them, so everything is alright in the end.

The 1941 magic trick as the foil of Job

Yup. One of our favorite moments :

Azi is the magician who mouths "trust me" (to Crowley)

Crowley is the helper, who will have to shoot and "fool" the audience (pointing to the mouth, shooting past the ear)

When everything is in position, Crowley finds himself weak at the knees. That's when the "trust me" comes handy.

and Crowley does… and shoots. And everything goes well. The crowd cheers.

Then, Furfur and the zombies spoil things and they have to solve the problem with AMAZING grace. That gets Anthony J. Crowley and Aziraphale very back together, thank you very much.

I've already said this in a headcanon that is almost a crack meta: Aziraphale is really good at magic when it counts. When we have the REAL DEAL TRICK, Aziraphale is the magician again, without hamming it (because it is not a role: it is his duty), and no one is ever the wiser about it until it solved the problem.

Would that happen in S3? I hope so. Now that they are apart as far as we know (very probably Aziraphale is in Heaven, while Crowley is still on Earth), they will have to rely on their individual abilities a lot more, before being able to work together again. The sooner they understand how they complement each other, even when they are not close, the better, I guess. And I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of shenanigans, which is one of my main reasons to be there. And love. Love is the main one.

This is closely tied, as most of my metas, with the fanfic I'm writing. Sorry not sorry, that AU is the equivalent of creating a controlled environment and letting them display their "natural abilities" in an unfamiliar space (in the AU case, a non ethereal world). If you are into this exploration, maybe I could interest you in reading that story too?

[aziraphales-library]

Hello!

I still use your blog and love it, thank you for the efforts y'all are making to help out the fandom!

If it's not too much trouble, I would like to see a fic that involves fluffy/crack exorcism, meaning that the demon-removing ritual is an inconvenience at most instead of posing any actual danger to Crowley and Aziraphale.

Thanks again!

Hi! I'm not sure about fluffy crack fics about exorcism fics, but here are some low-angst ones for you...

Just a Bit of a Nuisance Really by MischiefNgk (T)

“Hello Father.” He hurriedly beckoned his guest inside.

The visitor frowned as they stepped into the house. “I can assure you that I am no priest… which does beg the question of why you called me here?

Promises by Opal_Edge (G)

It's been four years since Armageddon, and life is just the same for Crowley and Aziraphale. Crowley plans a quick temptation at a church before dinner, but the priest gives him more trouble than he anticipated...

The Exorcism of Anthony J(anthony) Crowley by Jaxxolotl (T)

It's the 1960's. Roller rinks are a thing, ABBA's making their way to fame, and exorcisms are on the rise by popular demand. Aziraphale has been hired as an exorcist and Ye Locale Churche to look into the legitimacy of these practices, and Crowley decides to stir up mischief to avoid both Hastur and the dredgery of paperwork. shenanigans ensue.

On Love and Possession by darkavenue (T)

Anathema believes she is possessed by a demon. She comes to Aziraphale and Crowley for an exorcism.

“You know someone possessed, book girl?”

“Maybe. I’m trying to figure that out. That’s why I came to you two.”

There’s an awkward pause, during which Crowley and Aziraphale exchange glances across the table.

“Well, angel, you go ahead and tell her what the signs are.”

“I think you should, it’s your area of expertise.”

“Me? I’ve never possessed anyone. It’s your area now.”

“That was one time.”

“Oh my god.” Anathema puts her hands on the table. “Please tell me at least one of you knows what possession looks like.”

Five Times Aziraphale Saved Crowley From A Bad Date (And One Time He Didn't) by MickyRC (T)

Crowley had no idea why he said yes. Seriously, what? A date? At his age? Why?

Crowley really should know better than going on dates with humans. He doesn't, though. Luckily, Aziraphale usually turns up just in time to get him out of it.

A Demon's Guide to Exorcism, Haunted Flats, and Murderous Plants by Laur (M)

Crowley had a problem but wouldn't admit it. So what if his garbage disposal turned on by itself and his bed shook in the middle of the night and his plants tried to kill him? Demons weren't afraid of anything.

Meanwhile, Aziraphale was puzzling out if Crowley had unofficially moved into the bookshop.

[angel-and-the-serpent]

Hey! I saw what you wrote with Crowley and Aziraphale being in a cabin in the middle of a windstorm! I think this ask is gonna be inspired off of that, but if you could write something about Crowley having fun outside in a middle of a windstorm and Aziraphale just trying to get him to come inside the bookshop and Crowley being a little shit and ends up ultimately dragging Azi in the wind with him and fluff ensues? Thank you!

Lovelies, I did it. i wrote an entire ficlet? oneshot? fanfic idek, SOMETHING for this wonderful anon, I hope you like it, and please dont be scared to send in more, I love doing these --------------------- Soho Windstorm Length: 715 words Context warnings: Language

--------------------------

It had been a normal day so far. As far as you could consider a normal day for an angel and a demon. That was until a windstorm somehow got knocked off its path and ended up in Soho, how? Aziraphale could only imagine. Though, he thought as he stared out the window, eyebrows furrowed, it had to do with the man dancing in the wind, 

Crowley was having the best time she had had in over 6000 years.

Yes, admittedly he had diverted the windstorm, but eh fuck it, if anyone found out, he did it for demonic reasons. Crowley was dancing in the wind. Dancing, not on a pinhead, but in the middle of an empty Soho street while a windstorm caused chaos around him. 

He wasn't really dancing, not really, but more like, doing what he wanted. Spinning in circles, shouting at the top of his lungs, that's what it mostly consisted of, The wind whipped his face, leaves swarming and battering his shoes as he did his own thing in the wind. 

Crowley felt a sense of freedom, he was always provided with some sort of freedom by the wind, a breeze on the hottest day, a short fast blast through a fan, it always provided him happiness, he didn't know where it came from, but he wasn't against it. 

Crowley paused mid-spin as he saw his angel staring at him through the bookshelf window, he raised a single eyebrow at her angel, smirking as he raised a singular arm outwards, as an invitation, seeing whether her angel would come out into the wind and be wild, let go of the worries, let the thought of Armageddon, of looming danger from their minds “No” the angel mouthed at the demon with a small internal smile, “Come inside, you silly demon” *come inside where it’s warm, come in, and we can drink, and I can play the record you like…the one about nightingales* The demon laughed, jogging over to the bookshop door and pulling it open, gusts of strong wind shooting in and disrupting the nearby papers, to which Aziraphale let out a strangled gasp/ cry of “Crowley, dear really?!” The demon laughed, grabbing her angel’s wrist, pulling them outside the comfort of their bookshelf and into the winds outside, laughing at the angel's cries as the bookshop doors were miracled shut. “C’mon angel!” the demon yelled, pulling Aziraphale by the hands into the wind, “loosen up, angel!” “Dear, let me back inside!” the angel pleaded, with a fleeting look back at his book shop, before he was startled by Crowley's body wrapping itself around his in a tight hug, “2 more minutes?” Crowley asked, “Then we can go drink?” Aziraphale let out a small murmur in response Crowley laughed, releasing her angel and spinning on the spot, whooping and laughing, the angel stood to the side, huddling himself under the awning of a building, watching his demon with soft eyes and a small smile to join them, he loved - uh…liked, seeing his friend…his demon like this, free of the burdens hell gave him, free of all the pain on his shoulders, just openly himself, just openly happy. “Shit!” Crowley laughed as the wind got harder, “Get inside, get inside it’s bloody freezing” “I told you!” Aziraphale scolded letting them both into the warmth of the bookshop and deadbolting the door behind them, He miracled the record played to start the familiar hum of a song Crowley was partial to, as the demon sat down on the sofa, perking up with a wide grin as the familiar notes of the song he had introduced to them in 1941 played though the record player, “You don't have the record” he laughed, leaning forward with a smirk and a glint in his yellow eyes, “Bought it yesterday” the angel said, *just for you* “What one is it today?” Crowley asked, referring to the wine, “I’ll go have a look,” Aziraphale said, walking away, further into the shop, leaving Crowley on the sofa with a grin on his face, as he listened to the familiar voice play…

The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley square

[thesherrinfordfacility]

I know everyone wants/thinks that Crowley is going to be in danger in S3 and Aziraphale will have to take matters into his own hands because of it. Like it makes sense. I want it too. But how would we actually get there. How does Aziraphale lose Crowley for the parallel to Crowley losing Aziraphale in the bookshop fire? What would Aziraphale save Crowley from? Hell doesn't care about him, and I doubt Metatron/Heaven considers him a threat now that they have Aziraphale. And I genuinely don't think the Metatron would inform Aziraphale of any danger to Crowley or ask him to act against him- he seems well aware that would be crossing a line. What would make the angels go after him.

*cracks knuckles* fuck yeah, let's dance, anon✨

well, look, you're right - ultimately, as ep6 stands, crowley is by all accounts an isolated and neutralised threat. regardless of where i or anyone else stands on the 'why was the miracle so powerful' debate, both he and aziraphale bullshitted (or did they?) their way into stalling the apocalypse at the very least; they work best and pose their biggest threat when together. and they're... not together rn.

and true - unless there is a major realignment in aziraphale's core psyche where crowley is concerned (which... i really hope there isn't, not in any long-ish term capacity), aziraphale is unlikely to turn against crowley to such an extent that they are actively enemies etc. so, to my mind, it's going to be a case of crowley inadvertently Fucking Shit Up that directly pisses off heaven, and aziraphale is caught in the middle.

i think this is where the plot of s3 is going to come in; we know it's the second coming (and following, the last judgement). ive parsed out some kind of speculation as to how it's introduced in this post, including who i think jesus 2.0 is, so let's roll with this for a moment.

so aziraphale knows that warlock is not - in fact - the second coming. he knows that crowley and the nuns messed up in s1, and there's instead a relatively high chance that the second coming was the other baby. heaven do, however, think that warlock is the second coming (hilarity ensues, god knows we're going to need it). aziraphale can't just toddle down to earth to try and track jesus down, so he sneaks down to enlist crowley to help; he was there at the swap and at armageddon, he'll know what to look for.

crowley tells aziraphale to go fuck himself - not only did he choose heaven over him (as crowley might see it), but he's not going to facilitate the end of the world, not again. aziraphale beseeches that he's trying to stop it, but he needs someone on earth to find jesus before the angels/heaven cotton on, whilst he does what he can Upstairs. crowley either agrees (bc i do think he does still trust aziraphale, if nothing else), or declines but secretly does it anyway.

crowley goes to tadfield, does his snooping, james bond stuff (lord if you hear me, please return the turtleneck to us 🙏), and traces down greasy. possibly gets a little gang reunion going on of the s1 cast, except maybe shadwell/madame tracy, and everyone is roped into trying to hide greasy from heaven. adam would be delightfully yet secondarily important here.

unfortunately the angels are not quite as dim as we hope; they work out slowly that warlock is not the second coming. earth observation files are checked, and wahey, the second coming is back in oxfordshire, oops. aziraphale gets, idk, held hostage or trapped somehow, because he meddles too much for his own good (which, yk, isn't wrong), and they go after crowley and the tadfield troop.

crowley does his best to protect them, succeeds, but gets overwhelmed and brought to heaven in (literal?) chains (and some demons to witness, idk) because this time heaven aren't having it, they're fed up of this two-bit demon fucking with them. they're not going to hose him down in holy water, oh no - the chekhov's gun, BOL model, is getting loaded to fire.

the thing is though - a) crowley isnt in the BOL, and b) aziraphale has had Enough. cue the long overdue moment to celebrate aziraphale being absolute Nails, they fight/escape their way out of heaven (with some sympathiser angels/demons in tow?), and get to the bookshop to shelter and regroup with the humans etc.

now im sure the last, perhaps, 1.5-2 episodes will be just a glorified 'every answer to every question will be revealed and all nearly slot together' revelation interspersed with 'we're making the final Whickber Street Stand to save humanity' gubbins, and maybe somewhere along the line crowley gets caught in the crossfire?

there's certainly imagery from Those Promo Photos to suggest that there is a pietà moment (im not sure how literally to take this but the option is brilliantly tragic), and i wouldn't be surprised if, whilst everyone else is battling outside, aziraphale essentially drags crowley to safety in the bookshop, echoing the bookshop fire, and essentially temporarily loses him. big heartfelt moment, cue devastating david arnold score, and it's a All Hope Is Lost kinda thing. ugh.

but then!!! crowley isn't actually gone, he's hanging out in the in-between - looking suspiciously like the firmament from when he first created the stars. and our resident deity shows up, and they have a wee chat. get some things out in the open; crowley finally gets his answers. he might not like what he finds, but he gets to ask them. possible hard cut - we don't see the end of the conversation.

meanwhile, aziraphale has either Fucking Lost It 2: Electric Bugaloo, or is just a sad heap of Not Much At All, because literally nothing - nothing - is worthwhile fighting for when crowley isn't here. or is it? he gets up, goes outside, and prepares to face down Metty Babes himself, big 'i know what you've been up to all along' dialogue moment.

somewhere in this, crowley comes strolling out, huzzah, and then obviously a big avengers moment where Baddies are defeated and everything can return to how it was. Big Miracle Take #2, resets everything, and they resolve to try and leave heaven/hell in more capable, fairer, open-minded hands. ultimately, they want nothing to do with it, they want to be left in peace. big kiss, buy the south downs cottage, celebrate at the ritz, roll credits.

i will open to the floor for any questions✨💅

“I know I’m hard work” “I’m not afraid of hard work” Maggie and Nina have my whole entire heart agghhh

THEY ARE DANCINGGGGGG

Aziraphale you are really not underestimating how much trouble you’re actually in

Oh fuck oh shit oh no

“You came to me. I said I would protect you. And I will.” Someone explain why I am about to cry.

“Have you got your hand in” “oh I’ve got more than that” “I bet you do”

CROWLEY YOU ARE IN FACT A GOOD LAD. LISTEN TO MRS. SANDWICH

I-

“Make your own plans” “Oh I am! But rescuing me makes him so happy!” I AM GOING INSANE. I HAVE NO WORDS. I JUST. GIVE ME A FUCKING MINUTE.

oh hi Muriel!

“Good job! You arrested me!” “You’re arresting me, why would I be trying to trick you?” If this upsets Muriel I am legally obligated to throw hands

WHAT IS HAPPENING

On to episode 6, I am slowly losing my mind 😀👍

Calvin Anagonye-Shellstrop and Hobbes

Eleanor Shellstrop becomes the first woman to get knocked up in Hell.

So.

Spoilers for the end of The Good Place, however, no spoilers for Good Omens (this does not incorporate season 2) and Calvin & Hobbes and Fairyland, they need no spoiler tags.

Post-Season 4. Eleanor and Chidi are in the process of overhauling the afterlife; the process is going well but there are still holdover-demons who prefer the old regime. Chidi and Eleanor are happily together and Do It a lot; they visit the old Neighborhood and have a quickie in Eleanor’s old house, and two months later Eleanor realizes she’s pregnant.

The first person she goes to is Janet, who confirms it and says that the chance of a woman conceiving in the afterlife is astronomically low. She congratulates Eleanor on beating the odds. Eleanor asks Janet to keep it a secret and asks for help— how will she tell Chidi without him freaking out? Comedic advice sequence ensues.

Eleanor tells Chidi, he has a few minutes of shock but once it’s confirmed he’s surprisingly chill. He asks Eleanor what she feels about it.

Chidi and Eleanor have a long talk about parenthood. While keeping the idea of abortion fully on the table (Janet can do it), they decide they want to try being parents together.

Furthermore, Chidi says that he would like their child to live on Earth, if that’s possible, with a normal experience of time and space. 

So this is the news they break to Jason and Tahani and Michael. Jason is delighted at the prospect of being an uncle; Tahani offers sincere congratulations and sends for champagne; Michael is surprisingly morose. The idea of Eleanor and Chidi returning to Earth really bums him out. But Jason manages to talk Michael 'round. It'll be fun to be a godparent.

So Eleanor and Chidi resume their lives on Earth, and move to Maine. When they marry they take the surname Anagonye-Shellstrop. When their son is born, they name him Calvin. 

Tahani and Jason also choose to resume their Earthly lives.

Meanwhile, back in London...

Aziraphale and Crowley get notices from their separate authority figures: this kid Calvin was conceived in Hell. A kid like that… could have all kinds of strange powers. He could even fill the role that Hell wants, the role of the Antichrist.

Remember how I said there are those who want the old regime, and the old plans for Armageddon? Yeah, not all of them are demons. 

Plenty of angels would like to put Armageddon back on the calendar, and this kid might be their way to do it.

Aziraphale packs up his books, and Crowley packs up his plants, and they head out to Maine. The Arrangement has a new form.

By a completely unrelated train of events, there is the realm known as Fairyland, as described by Catherynne M. Valente. There is a young Tiger by the name of Hobbes. He is kin to the Leopard of Little Breezes and the other great cats of Fairyland. 

Hobbes hasn’t quite found his domain yet. As he vagabonds along from one port to another, he finds his way to the world of humans, where he appears as a stuffed toy to most. However, even under this glamor, Hobbes possesses a debonair charm which catches the eye of Tahani al-Jamil. She introduces Hobbes to Calvin and they become fast friends.

Calvin will come into his powers when he reaches seven, the age of reason. However, the year before Calvin’s seventh birthday never seems to end, it just… sort of loops. Jeremy Bearimy never saw it coming.

How will this all end? Will the Maine sea-air prompt Crowley and Aziraphale to confess their long-buried feelings? Will Hobbes ever go back to Fairyland? I don't know, it's a mystery, but isn't it fun to think about!

This all could be a long-running Ao3 series with 100k words and dozens of chapters and interludes, but in this part of Jeremy Bearimy, it is a humble tumblr post.

[springofviolets]

Pinned post time!

1st: my profile pic is from my former garden. It’s an uncommon species of violet that serves as the host plant to the only breeding population of an endangered butterfly east of the Mississippi River. I collected it from a site that was about to be developed. Always happy to talk native plants, drop a message.

2nd: I write Good Omens fan fic! I started Christmas Day 2023 & have been having fun with it since. They’re all canon universe, compliant through S2. More on that below the cut…

The beginning after the end is a series with 2 entries + 1 WIP (so far). It starts the evening after Armageddon 2 is averted. Each story can be read as a standalone, but they occur sequentially in time after one another.

a cleansing is basically 4.4k words of PWP, though it opens the series with a suggestion of what’s to come (and who, 🥁, sorry I had to). It is E-rated fluff with feelings. This was my first attempt at writing fanfic and also at writing smut and it remains my most popular fic 🤷🏽

talking and not talking Aziraphale & Crowley have spent a long time pretending that they’re not and all that, and for very complicated reasons. Obviously that experience would create some pretty deep scars. In this story they start talking about these scars, while having sex. Romantic, explicit sex. Rated E, 4.1k words.

Water into Wet Clay I’m sorry to say to fluff lovers: things get messy here. It becomes evident that this series uses sex as a stage for revealing and discussing these two’s traumas. They’re still having a lot of sex but you may not like it. It’s also occasionally humorous. Oops, this turned into a long fic! Angst with an E rating for explicit sex.

where the cliffs meet the sky is technically in the same universe as the above fics, but with a time skip of a year. This is a South Downs Cottage origin story that unites canon from the book & tv show within the setting and plot in ways that I found very fun to write. Fluff with humor & some mild angst before a happy ending. Also a lot of research went into South Downs to get here. 7k words, rated M for non-explicit sex.

Cam Show is a silly, spicy oneshot in which Aziraphale and Crowley decide they'd like to have sex in front of an audience. Hijinks ensue. 5k words, rated E for graphic descriptions of sex. A & C both female presenting, with vulvas, using he/him pronouns.
