*Minor Spoilers* There are some fics that I can only describe as decadent. I can't wax poetic about it, it's just the phrase that I instantly associate with a story like this. This is a book restorer/gardener au. Aziraphale has just moved out to the country and hires Crowley to tame his new garden. They are both beautifully passionate about what they do, which turns out to be the exact same. They are both restorers. Not fixing, “It’s not fixing. They don’t need fixing. They need a bit of care and attention. Some delicate surgery and healing. Someone to care for them, revive them, rebuild them, reassure them. Put them back together and help them stay that way.” Aziraphale with his books, and Crowley with the neglected garden. And of course you know how else they can use those inherent traits of nurturing and compassion.
I love Aziraphale in this. He's not written silly or overly self conscious. He has insecurities and doubts of course, but he's confident in who he is and more importantly he loves who he is. He doesn't make excuses for his passion. The scene with the town vicar was a particular stand out for me. We don't know too much about Crowley. This story is more about what's happening in the now, not much backstory. But there are plenty of clues and a small explanation from Crowley that let's us piece together a lot of the story ourselves. The beauty of fanfiction is we're all so intimately aware of these characters it's effortless to read their body language and subtle clues. This story utilizes that well. Allowing us to fill in the gaps because it trusts us to pick up on those details. Crowley here is slightly shy and quieter than some authors write him. Well, okay amendment, he's shy and quiet OUTSIDE the bedroom. But it's an excellent take that really understands the core of who he is. Love that there is some miscommunication and insecurities in their new relationship but stays realistic and grounded. They're not going to run away from each other, they're going to stay and figure it out together.
This story is just so lush and beautiful. I want to live in it. It made my heart race with tension, and burn with the romance of it all. This is at home reading. There are a couple of explicit sex scenes, so don't be reading this one where someone could be peaking over your shoulder. Unless you're into that sort of thing I guess!

Eloise: Hello, want to play a game?
Benedict: Uh, sure?
Colin: What's the game?
Eloise: It’s called food or Penelope. *smirks at Colin* Don't worry, that wasn't a question.
Francesca: *looks up from her book* I'm curious to know the answer to that, though.
Eloise: *smiles gleefully* Anyway, I’ll give you actual quotes I’ve heard Colin say, and you have to guess if he’s talking about his wife or food!
Colin: *irritated* Grow up, Eloise.
Tumblr media
Colin: Can we please leave my love? *puppy-eyed at Penelope*
Penelope: *pats him on the cheek* No. It's just starting to get interesting, darling!

au!Petunia Evans where she is still a muggle or a squib or whatever it is she is, and rejected from her sisters world, though instead of jealousy and hatred, she is still very much jealous but determined as well. And thats the important fucking part.
She needs to be a witch.
so much so she turns to the 'magicless' peoples witchcraft. or basically our version of witchcraft with manifestations, crystals, normal herbs, oracle cards, book of shadows, and deity work and everything of the suchlike. and it fucking works.
it works and she is a witch. she has to be.

(Book au)
Michael was 14 when William sent him to a boarding school in England, he wasn’t there when Elizabeth died and he wouldn’t know about it until years later
Eleanor-Josephine (William’s sister) found out Mike was there and forged William’s signature to get Mike into her custody
Clara would take CC (who’s age range is 0-4 rn) and leave William after Elizabeth died but she wouldn’t be able to find out where Mike was
When Mike was 18-20, he moved to California and started going by Avery Maxwell. He started a band with the masked bullies and they preform small time gigs while working day jobs. It was around this time that he met Jeremy, the two between roommates and eventfully they became lovers.
Then the main events of the au take place and after Mike goes back to Hurricane when he’s 30-33. He’s unaware about what occurred
I didn’t know how to include this with the other stuff but Mike was William’s lab experiment, Mike had been injected with remnant and Jen’s the one who has to break it to him
(Also he may or may not be reunited with CC and Sammy)

I AM GIVING YOU SO MANY PENNIE’S FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
DBFBFBRHRG
OKAY OKAY OKAY
this will be heavily influenced by an anime called fushigi yugi for now bc that’s where I’m pulling inspo from (if you don’t know it, watch it it’s very good)
BUT — I’m thinking grian and scar (maybe??) are both college students in the modern realm. they’re best friends, absolutely inseparable. they go to the school’s library and find this really old book that pulls them in and they land in hermitcraft.
scar and grian get separated, grian is with some hermits and scar is with the other half. the two sides are enemies. in order for grian and scar to get home they need to find smth,, artifacts maybe??? idk
but both sides are looking for said artifacts and fighting and mmmm.
I can make mumbo a vampire because why not.
he and grian would get together first…. and it’d be funny if scar stole mumbo at some point… but eventually all three of them do get together… I’m just throwing random ideas out and hoping they’re coherent rn

with book ruby making the rounds compliments of @ask-madam-ruby​
i do have a book version of Sotsona :3 when she shifts. it’s basically her original concept, based off of the Witcher’s Fiend.
Tumblr media
some changes need to be made, but this is the basic. A few notes.
-Her hooves are three plied, rather than cloven, and in proper maintenance
-her thagomizer and flexible tail are added.
-her pelt is long enough to braid but still retains the course texture.
-her smaller arms are thinner, longer and more versatile.
-her longer arms end in talons. all the better for digging.
