[straightupsickfics]

i just think 📘 reading in bed + 🩵 blankets + 💙 cold & flu symptoms would be very cute for ineffable husbands with a sick Crowley... i love your writing! thank you 🖤

wahhh this is sooooo cute for them pls 🥺🩵🩵🩵🩵

****

“Hell itself would be better than this,” Crowley groans from where he’s sprawled across the sofa in the bookshop.

He's on day three of this winter cold, and all of his symptoms seem to have caught up with him at once. He’d spent the better part of the afternoon drooping about the shop, picking things up and putting them down, complaining about his sore throat, sneezing in little fits of twos and threes, and doing more or less anything he could to get Aziraphale’s attention. 

“Now, I’m sure that’s not true,” Aziraphale tuts, putting his book aside and making his way over to him. “Are you even comfortable like that, my dear? We really can go upstairs. I’d go with you,” he promises, nudging the pouty demon. He coaxes Crowley up and off of the sofa before he can really even register what’s happening. Crowley settles against Aziraphale easily, though, blanket-warm and pliant even as he rolls his eyes. 

“You’ll stay? You hate sleeping, angel,” Crowley reminds him. He sounds needier than he usually allows himself and Aziraphale hugs him just that much closer. 

“I don’t hate it, I just don’t need it. Besides, I won’t be sleeping, dear boy, you will. I’ve just been reading, which I can do just as easily in bed.” Curling up in bed with Crowley, tucked beneath the lovely soft sheets and piles of blankets he’s collected for them — well, for Crowley, really — sounds just about as close to heaven as they can get down here on Earth. 

“Mnh, fine,” Crowley agrees, like he’s doing Aziraphale an enormous favor, then gives himself away by turning and nuzzling a tired, sniffly kiss against his neck. 

Aziraphale doesn’t bother trying to suppress the smile this elicits. It’s rare that Crowley lets himself be quite so vulnerable, and it’s never lost on the angel that he’s the only one who gets to see him this way. He presses a kiss to his forehead before they make their way upstairs – he’s not fever warm, not yet – but he makes a mental note to keep checking on it; Crowley’s colds almost always come with a low-grade fever that leaves him achy and miserable. 

For someone who didn’t want to move, Crowley wastes no time crawling into bed and slithering under the covers as soon as they get upstairs, miracling himself into black, silky soft pajamas as he goes.

“Y’can change too, angel,” he says, tugging at the buttons of Aziraphale’s vest. “Ngk…h-hold that th-hih! thought… Hh’iiitshh! Huh’Uptshh!” Crowley turns away to sneeze, blinks a few times, then sneezes a third and final time, a harsher, wetter hh’IieeSHOO! that shivers right through him. 

Aziraphale gives a soft, sympathetic sound, then tucks a quick kiss to the corner of his mouth in lieu of a blessing. 

“Warm enough, darling?” Aziraphale asks, taking Crowley’s suggestion and changing into soft, plaid flannel pajamas before sliding into bed beside him. 

“Mmh…am now,” Crowley says, winding himself around Aziraphale until they’re little more than a tangle of limbs, Crowley clinging onto him with no sign of letting go, snuggling into his chest and sniffling until he’s comfortable enough to relax. He’s pale, save for the pink tinge around his nostrils, and his eyes are drooping like he’s fighting to keep them open. 

“Very good,” Aziraphale smiles.

“What’re you reading?” Crowley asks through a yawn. 

Aziraphale’s face flushes. He’s read this one at least a dozen times, but he’s quite sure he’ll never get tired of it. 

“Pride and Prejudice,” he admits, sneaking a glance at Crowley, who is already giving him a knowing look.  

“Sap,” Crowley says through a yawn. 

“Oh, you like this one,” Aziraphale says indignantly. And he does, though he’ll never admit it. 

Crowley shrugs against him, then muffles a cough against his shoulder. “S’okay,” he says. “Darcy’s a bit of a prick, is all. …Y’can read it out loud if you like…” 

“Because you like it, you mean,” Aziraphale teases.

Crowley doesn't say anything, but Aziraphale can feel him melting into sleep as he starts to read, the familiar story a comfort to them both. 

“Sleep tight, my dear,” Aziraphale murmurs when Crowley drifts off.

Spoilers for Good Omens Season 2!

I know that for whoever finds this post, it probably won't be news to them. But I need write this down before my head explodes.

We see when Crowley takes time to realize that he loves Aziraphale in a "more than friends" way. Straight from his mouth, he says, "a sudden rain forces them under an awning and they look into each other's eyes and realize that they were made for each other." He suggested this as a ploy to get Maggie and Nina to fall in love. One of my questions is when. This happened twice to our favorite Ineffable idiots.

The first time happened in the cosmos when Angel Crowley had made the stars. There was a meteor shower and Crowley used his wing to shield Aziraphale.

The second one, the one we should ALL know and love. It was on the wall of The Garden of Eden. There was a sudden rain and Aziraphale used his wing to shield Crowley this time.

I'm assuming that Aziraphale knows that Crowley loves him. Of course, there's the ever suspicious line of, "You go too fast for me, Crowley." This was after Aziraphale gave Crowley the thermos of Holy Water. Then there's the way Aziraphale looks at and acts around Crowley. And the subtle touches all throughout season 2.

All this to say that Aziraphale was using his plan to make Maggie and Nina fall in love for him and Crowley too.

It makes me irrationally sad that they both love each other so much, and try to show the other in so many different, discreet ways. But in the end, the thing that broke their relationship (*cough* for now *cough*) was their overwhelming want to protect each other.

God told the viewer in season 1 that angels don't dance, unless it's the Gavotte. So it seems a little odd that Aziraphale would suggest a Jane Austen ball. But he does. And the way he sees Crowley and smiles giddily while grabbing his hand and saying they should dance was everything for me. He so clearly loves Crowley and wants for Crowley to know this without having to actually say it. Because the whole point of this ball was to make Maggie and Nina, their human parallels, fall in love.

Also, the whole thing with Aziraphale and Crowley being the parallels of Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. To be completely honest, I can read it as Crowley's Pride and Aziraphale's Prejudice just as well as Aziraphale's Pride and Crowley's Prejudice. But if I had to pick one, I believe that Crowley's Pride and Aziraphale's Prejudice fits them better as parallels (Darcy's Pride and Elizabeth's Prejudice).

Aziraphale himself says that saving him makes Crowley happy. He knows. He noticed. So Crowley wants to do what Beelzebub and Gabriel did and go somewhere where neither Heaven nor Hell will come after them. Aziraphale, in my opinion, is doing something similar. Aziraphale sees how messed up Heaven is and wants to fix it. He wants to bring Crowley with him. In Aziraphale's mind, the rationality must be that neither Heaven nor Hell can bother them if they're both so high in command in Heaven.

I'm so sad. But, I'm trusting God and Neil on this one. Because, "It starts, as it will end, in a garden." Hopefully the garden of Aziraphale and Crowley's South Downes cottage.

.

Takeaways from reflecting on your kick-ass writing, or kick-ass lack of writing, during a year more focused on survival than perhaps any other: Oh my god, I wrote so fucking much, hahaha. Like daaaang, self. I almost wanna add up the word count and see what it is but I’m not patient enough to sort it all out, hah. 

.

Most surprising fic you wrote this year: . . . hmmm, probably “you make a really good girl (as girls go)”. That one’s gotten a REALLY good reception that I was REALLY not expecting and I continue to get people who are hype for more of it swinging by to say so. 

.

How you grew as a writer this year: I got faster, I think, and less obsessed with perfectionism/fussing around on the details. Also I continued to be ever-more shamelessly id-driven in my writing, my true ultimate goal as a writer. 

.

What’s coming in 2021: God if I know, you guys. God if I know. Hopefully more Push and Pull and Avamorphs; maybe a little bit more “I’ll give them shelter” and handmaiden!Anakin; MAYBE even the end of Clay Kids. This is all wild, wild guessing, though, because lbr, I write exclusively based on a) what other people ask for and b) whatever random bout of inspiration has struck me at the time. There is very little predicting what will result from this combination.

[ineffablegame]

could you rec some human!good omens au?

Hey friend!  Unfortunately, I don’t read a lot of human!AU, but I do have a couple to recommend:

with all your delights by weatheredlaw

Summary:  

Crowley laughed. “I thought you’d have realized by now. I am no ordinary king.”

“No,” Aziraphale said. “You certainly are not.”

or: aziraphale is sent as a gift to the southern king to smooth over trade negotiations. they both find themselves in over their heads.

This is a lovely king/consort AU where Aziraphale is sent to the southern kingdom to pacify Crowley and enable trade deals with his homeland, the northern country.  Neither is what the other expects, and as their friendship deepens into romance, Aziraphale and Crowley must contend with their differences and complicated upbringings.  With great characterization, tender romance, hot sex scenes, and a deft exploration of how upbringing and trauma shape you as a person, this fic is a joy to read.

i’ll be your man if you got love to get done by mygalrfiday

Summary:

Tucking his sunglasses into the neck of his black t-shirt, he scans the crowded space for the man Anathema had described. Blond, she’d said. A bit old-fashioned. Crowley had taken that to mean no shagging until the third date but his eyes land on a man who looks like he just returned from tea in the Victorian era and he just knows he’s found his date. Ezra Fell.

Who doesn’t love a good coffeeshop AU?  This adorable piece features Crowley’s POV on a blind date with a museum worker, Ezra Fell.  Crowley’s trepidation swiftly turns into infatuation as he discovers a wonderful camaraderie and chemistry between himself and Ezra.  This fic is absolutely adorable, with wonderful characterization and several fun nods to canon.  If you want something sweet to start your day, this would go perfectly with your morning coffee.  :)  This can also be found in podfic form by @podfixx.

Those are the only two I know off the top of my head!  If anyone would like to rec their favorite human!AU, I can read some over and do another list in a little while!

In the meantime, here are some fun human!AU ideas I wish I had the time to write. These are not real, just ideas I wish were real!

Baker/florist AU:  Aziraphale works at the local bakery and Crowley runs the florist shop next door.  They bump into each other on their morning deliveries.  After a time, the bakery starts putting out lovely flower-shaped cookies, roses and tiger lilies and forget-me-nots.  Stray flowers start appearing in Aziraphale’s apron pockets, roses carefully plucked of their thorns so as not to prick an unwary finger.  A sweet, floral-scented AU that melts on your tongue.

Roman nobility and Christian/insurrectionist sympathizer AU:  Crowley is a valued advisor of Emperor Nero.  Aziraphale is an anatomist who, after too long dissecting the lion-mauled bodies of Christians, rebels, and criminals, has developed sympathies and started saving all he could, starting with the unlikely survivors of the arena and moving into unsociable circles.  Their paths cross when Crowley, after watching a grisly scene in the arena, leaves to clear his head.  He bumps into Aziraphale, who is smuggling a wounded boy named Adam out.  +100 points if Aziraphale winds up in the arena at some point (he survives, obviously).  

Buddy cops who fall in love AU:  Done in the style of B99, this AU features Aziraphale and Crowley as cops who are complete opposites in their methods, thrown together because their chief (God, mentioned often but never seen) thinks it would be hilarious and that they would be surprisingly effective together.  They are.  As their jagged edges smooth into friendship and, slowly, something more, their good cop/bad cop (you decide which is which) routine proves the perfect combination.  +50 points if Chief God’s wife Deirdre Young randomly shows up at the station at least once per chapter.

WWII British intelligence/passport forger AU:  Crowley is an agent for British intelligence.  Aziraphale is a reclusive passport forger.  (There’s fanart out there that inspired this, if you know it, please let me know and I’ll link it.)  +75 points if Crowley goes on an undercover mission in Poland, gets caught, and Aziraphale forges himself a passport to go save him.

Setting up dates AU:  Aziraphale and Crowley are good friends of Newt and Anathema, respectively.  Each independently sets up a date between the two, then accidentally fall in love with each other instead.  +10 points for Newt and Anathema turning the tables on the Ineffable Husbands and setting up their dumb asses.

Scottish nobility AU:  Crowley is the leader of a mercurial Scottish clan.  Aziraphale is an English archivist and transcriber whose travels are disrupted when his party is attacked by Rabid Scots(tm) and he is taken to the clan leader.  Crowley takes an immediate liking to the bookish numpty and asks him to transcribe some old documents.  +50 points if they get into shenanigans that result in ink in Dubious Places.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AU!!! Aziraphale is Darcy and Crowley is Lizzy.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Michael, Uriel, and Sandalphon are Aziraphale’s snobby relatives and suitors.  Dagon is Jane (yes, again, you read that correctly) and Beelzebub is Lydia.  Gabriel is Mr. Wickham.  +1000 points for the scene where Aziraphale walks across the field at sunup and +1000000 points for “You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”

Gardener and nanny AU:  Everything is the same except the whole story takes place while caring for Warlock and there are no superpowers.  Aziraphale, the shy gardener, is besotted with and intimidated by the nanny, Ms. Crowley.  +200 points for trans and/or genderfluid Ms. Crowley.

Choose your own adventure fic - No specific warnings to apply

Satan is going after Beelzebub. Of course, they had to stumble on Crowley and Aziraphale and drag them into the mess. 

Carole’s note : amazing idea, I love the way the ‘choose your own adventure’ part of the fic is organized. And the FEelS, the fEeLS!!!

Oneshot - No specific warnings, except for the FeELs!!!

Aziraphale looks back at him from across the pillows, his eyes unreadable in the faint light. There is a crease from a pillowcase imprinted high on his cheek, turning pink already; Crowley reaches out, back over the same distance Aziraphale has already crossed, to smooth his fingertips and all his faith and all his hope and all his trust over it.

“You’re the first,” Crowley manages to say, looking not quite at him, studying that crease on his cheek. The indentation of it is already fading under his touch. “Never woken up with someone before.”

Carole’s note : All I can say is that the writing is amazing, and my heart melts everytime. Everything Darcy writes is amazing!

Pray for us, Icarus - @seaskystone

For three centuries, Crowley has been reincarnated over and over as a human with no memory of his past. Aziraphale has tried to find a way to restore him to his true self, but all he seems to do is hurt them both. This time, he only means to steal a brief moment when he walks into Crowley's flower shop. But Crowley can't let it go...

Carole’s note : Okay, people, let me tell you, this is probably the most brilliant fanfiction ever written. I don't think I have ever cried so much while reading anything (and I mean books and fics alike). You will need tones of tissues, but it’s worth it. A true masterpiece.

For this fandom, we would also like to recommend you these fic rec lists :

which I shed for you, by darcylindbergh

The cigarette burns slow between Crowley’s fingertips. The taste of smoke in his mouth drags memories from his lungs, dusty as ash and cold as. The church opposite is grey with it, too—the build-up of centuries, the soot and stain of humanity blackening its very foundations.

He would have hated this building, Crowley thinks, looking up at the spire, piercing white and imposing. He’d have liked the pub better.

It’s Crowley/Jesus fic y’all. Happy easter.

hello good morning today crowley came awake real slow with a soft hand rubbing up and down the middle of his back all gentle-like and when he turned his head and smiled aziraphale was there, snuggled in close, watching him, and his hair was a mess and his mouth was all hot-bitter from sleep and and he felt loose and comfortable and not afraid

hello, aziraphale whispered across the pillowcases, and it felt the same way it always feels, like the first sight of a star in the dusky sky.

hi, crowley whispered back. morning. alright?

aziraphale nodded, and that soft-slow hand slipped up crowley's neck to brush the hair away from his eyes. it's raining, he said.

crowley listened for it, and sure enough, it was--barely more than a drizzle, but he could hear it through the cracked window of their bedroom. it was too early in the season yet for it to turn everything to that lush green, too early for spring leaves and the awakening of the world, but it was the beginning of it. like a slow hand, running gentle-like over everything.

it had never rained in eden. everything had simply been: static, unchangeable. nothing had ever grown because it had been perfect already. fruits had never come in misshapen or ugly or small and shade had never been sparse or dappled. there had never been cold toes in the early mornings or nights spent too tired to sleep.

angels had not woken demons to listen to the rain in their shared bed.

crowley shuffles himself across the bed a little, shimmying his way into aziraphale's arms so that he could tuck his nose in close. aziraphale smelled like honey soap and baby powder and the pink warmth of just having got out of the shower.

he held crowley close, and together they listened.

for a long time, crowley said nothing. it wasn't about having something to say. it was about the rain, and the change of the seasons, and the earth's rotations. it was not perfect. it was not pristine. they could fuck up and they would and they would bicker and fight and apologize and keep unpacking the last six thousand years of why they are the way they are and they would keep secrets and tell them at the wrong moments and they would want too desperately to put it into words and they would forget, sometimes, that they already had.

but they would do it together. and they would change. the awakening of the spring leaves, unfurling.

love you, crowley finally said.

no one had ever said that in eden. no one had known it needed to be said.

there had been no one to hear the call, and no one to answer.

but today there is rain in the garden and cold toes under the duvet, and angels are no longer afraid to hold demons in their arms.

i love you too, aziraphale said, and together they lived.

"Darling."

A noise that could have been acknowledgement and could have been sleep-fueled nonsense.

"Darling."

The noise again, louder, protesting. Not entirely asleep, then.

"You need to let me go, darling. I'm getting up."

The noise has a vowel to it now, long and low: ooooo. Aziraphale could imagine the consonant that should have preceded it.

"Yeees," he responds, affection pooling so thick in his chest he had to huff a laugh to let some of it out. "It's morning time. It's breakfast time. I'm getting up for tea and one of those lovely cinnamon rolls you put together yesterday."

The arms around Aziraphale's waist and chest tighten; a long nose rubs itself between his shoulderblades. The noise coalesces into a word, pouty and ridiculous. "No."

"I must."

A snort, and one warm cheek presses against Aziraphale's shoulder before a kiss is laid to the nape of his neck. The warm body behind him presses closer, tangling tighter. "Didn't make those so you could sneak out of bed at unholy hours."

"Then you shouldn't have made them. Consequences, darling."

"But you like them. Just didn't think you liked them more than me."

Aziraphale can't help it; he laughs. "I could just miracle them up here. Snuggle you while I read. But you have rules about that sort of thing."

"Demons don't snuggle," the noise argues, though it's more absent-minded and sleepy than adversarial. "And the rule is there for good reason. No crumbs in bed. Besides, you can't leave, I'll freeze."

"Your suffering is of your own making, then."

But Aziraphale is already turning, twisting around under the bedcovers to find the collection of limbs and red hair that claims to be a demon. Crowley is soft and sleep-warm, lax and loose and already rearranging himself to accept Aziraphale closer, to let himself be scooped up and enfolded into heat and strength and curves, into a press of a kiss against his temple, into a pair of broad, soft hands and what promises to be a gently relentless effort to get them both out of bed that Crowley will complain about until Aziraphale has him wrapped in a dressing gown at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and a runny egg.

It's predictable. It's routine. It's easy.

It's everything Aziraphale has ever wanted. He holds Crowley a little closer, and doesn't rush to start.

Eventually Crowley shifts again, nuzzling deeper into his chest, and sighs. "Mm. Morning, angel."

"Good morning, my dear. It's time to get up."

crowley's in the bathtub, having a long soak for his aching joints, his sore feet. there may be bubbles involved but that is not his fault, aziraphale prepared the bath.

and aziraphale helped him into it. sat him down, made sure there was something behind his shoulders. a roll of a towel to support his neck. it's a different kind of intimacy, being naked like this. vulnerable. it isn't for anything, it simply is, and aziraphale isn't touching him with any purpose other than right here, right now. taking care.

and if aziraphale sits on the floor next to the tub, back leaning against it, keeping crowley company, keeping him laughing slow and low in his chest, a quiet kind of pervasive joy, keeping watch over him--

crowley didn't ask him to stay, but aziraphale knows better, these days. he knows he's wanted. he knows he's welcome.

and if crowley's hand dangles out of the tub just over aziraphale's shoulder, dripping water onto the oxford shirt with the sleeves rolled up until aziraphale reaches up to take it with his own hand, well.

love is like that, sometimes. two palms pressed together in the humid dark. love is like that.

It doesn't look like much.

In fact, it looks like so little that Aziraphale doesn't notice it at first. By the time he does, he can't remember exactly when it got there: this cardboard box.

It's a flimsy thing, a little battered. One of the flaps is creased hard where it was bent in order to fold the top closed; the corners are scuffed. It sits, innocuous and tremendous all at once, shoved halfway underneath the desk in the back room that houses Aziraphale's personal computer, pretending to be casual. Pretending not to matter.

Aziraphale knows it matters, because Aziraphale opened it.

There isn't much inside. A scrap of paper. An ancient ansaphone. An empty planter. A book.

To anyone else, these things look like remnants of a life, forgotten things left by forgotten people. To Aziraphale, who knows better, these things look like a beginning.

The start of something new.

Agnes Nutter's final prophecy. The ansaphone Aziraphale has left messages on for the last thirty years. A planter, waiting for new life.

A book Aziraphale doesn't own. The Big Book of Astronomy.

"Angel, what are you---oh." Crowley stops in the doorway, his hands automatically shoving so fast into the pockets of his jeans that he nearly tips himself over. "That's, erm, nothing, really, nothing to worry about--"

Aziraphale looks up at him, his pink cheeks, his yellow eyes that don't quite meet Aziraphale's own. "These are your things."

"Er--I--mmm---yeah," Crowley grates out. One hand emerges from his pockets to rub at the back of his neck. "A bit."

"A bit," Aziraphale repeats, looking back down at them. "And you brought them here?"

"Look, I can just take them back if it bothers you--"

"Absolutely not." Aziraphale puts the box down, starts taking the things out of it. The scrap of prophecy finds itself pinned to a bulletin board that hadn't existed ten minutes ago. The ansaphone settles into a newly cleared spot next to Aziraphale's telephone, and because Aziraphale expects that it will now take his messages, it will. The book slots perfectly into place on a shelf upstairs, right next to the window that gets the best view of the night sky, where a telescope might just fit.

"Aziraphale," Crowley says, a little helplessly, as his things find new places to belong in the bookshop. As their lives slot together, bit by insignificant bit.

Aziraphale lifts the planter out of the box last, holding it with both hands. It's clean and fresh, and in the next moment, it's full of dirt and roots, of leaves and stems.

Two white flowers unfurl from the new growth, tinged with green, new and waxy. Peace lilies.

"I think we've earned it, don't you?" he asks, looking back up at Crowley. "A little peace?"

Crowley steps forward, hesitantly at first, but then again, and again. He leans in, kisses Aziraphale's cheek softly, takes the plant from him.

"Near the east window, angel?"

"I think that will do nicely," Aziraphale says, and follows him out to find the light.
