Wanna get an ineffablefool fic written for you, just how you like it (within certain parameters)?
I am doing Fandom Trumps Hate this year -- the last time (and actually the very first time too) I did was 2021, when I ended up writing A Matching Pair Of Fools for @infinitevariety and Love Languages for @ambrasue. If you're unfamiliar with FTH, you can swing over to their tumblr and/or their FAQ.
This year I am offering one short fic, which I will write based on someone's prompt (perhaps yours?) and post to AO3 after it has been successfully delivered. All the deets of what I will/won't do are on my contributor listing page, but if you're familiar with my stuff, you probably have a good idea what's what. Ask any clarifying questions before you bid!
Bidding will open on Tuesday, March 5th and close on Saturday, March 9th. Until then everything is open for browsing. If you have a few bucks spare to give to one of a variety of good causes, please check it out! Also, regardless of your spare-bucks-having status, ilu and I hope you have an excellent week this week. 💜💜💜💜

A birthday gift for the lovely, lovely @ineffablefool of his If Not Now, When boys for his fic, One Garden, With Serpent. Happy birthday Jack!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful words (and self!). I hope the day was as good as it can be right now, and that the year ahead brings you lots of good things. 💚
(They go to a botanical garden, there are some adorable romantic shenanigans, and it’s all very very soft and wonderful. I think I read this twice just on the day it was published, can’t recommend it enough! Especially if you’re an INNW fan.)
And a special thank you to @depressedstressedlemonzest for wrangling a bunch of us Soft Zone™ fans and for being a fantastic cheerleader as I worked on this!!

Hello! I remember reading a handful of 'crowley accidentally says I love you and then makes up a fake boyfriend to cover for it' fics, based on a text post by sleepymccoy, I believe. I know one of them is, "The One with the Fake Boyfriend" by Julia_Skysong, but was wondering if you all know of any others? I know there are, but I can't seem to find them. Anything else similar to this prompt is also appreciated. Thank you and have a lovely day! You all are amazing.
Hey! I only know a couple of fics based on the original tumblr post...
Sometimes The Truth Is Like A Second Chance by ineffablefool (T)
Crowley shifted the phone to his other ear. “Yeah. Yeah, that sounds great, angel. See you then.” Say it, say it, say it... “I love you.”
There was a pause, which Crowley’s heart decided to fill by slamming against the rest of his organs.
“Crowley,” Aziraphale gasped. “Did you just say...?”
(Crowley tells Aziraphale, over the phone, that he loves him. Then he panics and tries to claim that it was just force of habit from his saying it to his boyfriend. At which point he's stuck with a made-up boyfriend. Probably there's no way out of this predicament.)
And the one you mentioned...
The One With The Fake Boyfriend by Julia_Skysong (G)
Inspired by this textpost from sleepymccoy on Tumblr:
Crowley accidentally saying "i love you" as he hangs up on a phone call to Aziraphale then having to spend the next three years pretending to be in a relationship cos "sorry angel it was automatic... cos i say it so much to my... boyfriend???"
Cue mutual heartbreak as Az is super 100% supportive cos he loves Crowley and wants him to be happy but he had rather convinced himself that maybe Crowley had feelings for him but apparently not and Crowley is just miserable cos Az isn't showing a single hit of jealousy
Also imagine when Crowley finally gives it up and goes over to the bookshop like "we broke up, angel, give me wine and let's never discuss it again" and Aziraphale has to actively fight his happy shimmy
Also Crowleys fake boyfriend has like eighteen jobs cos Crowley never bothers to remember what he made up last time but Aziraphale is cataloging everything like a jealous maniac and despite himself is very impressed with the renaissance aficionado Crowley managed to land
But here are some fics with a similar theme...
a slip of the tongue by lexophile (T)
Crowley makes a strangled noise and Aziraphale turns back to him to find that the demon is sitting up, his posture rigid and his expression slack with shock. His mouth is quite literally hanging open as he stares down at Aziraphale.
“Er,” Aziraphale says, befuddled. He holds up the bottle of wine. “Did you want some more?”
“Azsssiraphale,” Crowley hisses out, then clears his throught and tries again. “Angel. Did you… do you… what did you jussst call me?”
-
In which Aziraphale accidentally calls Crowley his boyfriend while inebriated and they both lose their minds.
Wanted To Tell You by DandelionDrabbles (G)
“Remember that thing you told me, that time?" Crowley said abruptly. "That someone loved me.” His eyes were fixed on Aziraphale, oddly intense. “I decided I should tell them. That I know, and I love them back." “Congratulations," Aziraphale told him sincerely. “I’m so happy for you.” Crowley was still staring, as if waiting for another reaction. The silence felt strangely charged. Aziraphale wondered if he was missing something.
Have you told him by cyankelpie (G)
“So,” Aziraphale said conversationally, “Tell me about this person you’re in love with.”
Crowley, who had unfortunately chosen that moment to take a sip of wine, sprayed it all over the table. Some of it went up his nose, and he coughed to get it out of his lungs. “What the buggering heaven,” he said when he finally stopped coughing, “gave you the idea—”
“Oh, come now, there’s no need to be embarrassed.” Aziraphale’s self-satisfied smirk that suggested the opposite. The droplets of wine had miraculously dodged his pristine white toga, because of course they had. “You must have known you wouldn’t be able to hide it from an angel.”
(Aziraphale can tell Crowley loves someone, even if he doesn't know who. Naturally, he does what any good friend would do, and teases Crowley about it relentlessly.)
love rings true by asideofourown (G)
Aziraphale stared down at the box, his heartbeat thundering in his ears. He had seen this kind of box before, of course, and he knew what was usually inside them, but surely—
Aziraphale carefully popped open the box, and his jaw dropped when he saw the ring inside. It was— Crowley had— he had an engagement ring? Because this was very, very clearly an engagement ring, round and gold and surprisingly simple given the demon’s usually ostentatious taste.
Aziraphale quickly closed the box again and stuffed it back in the drawer, his mind whirling. Why in the world would Crowley have an engagement ring? Had it been given to him, or had he— had he gotten it to give to someone else?
[Aziraphale stumbles upon a ring in Crowley's flat and jumps to conclusions]

First line meme
rules: post the first line of one of your wips and tag as many people as there are words
So @summerofspock tagged me on this and I’ve been fretting because my sentences tend to be rather long and I really don’t know that many people who I know for a fact are writers and who I haven’t already seen be tagged. So I’m going rogue and I’m tagging the people who expressed a particular interest on the original post in the replies/reblogs/tags for the Good Omens Frozen AU. (Plus a couple other people. It’s a long sentence, okay?) This probably won’t be happening soon, but I’ll commit to trying to make it happen.
Crowley clung to the shadows as he snuck quietly down the dark hallway, making his way to Aziraphale’s room.

good omens fic recs, post five
The continued adventures of reccing my favorites of the fics I’ve encountered lately in the giant marvelous heap that is Good Omens fandom.  Mostly all Crowley/Aziraphale (though there’s one in which Crowley fucks younger!Shadwell while pining for Aziraphale), and... mostly a lot of fluff?  For my usual tastes.  But quite a bit of harder/angsty/weirder shit, too.
Eleven fics under the cut, and, for more fic, links back to post one, post two, post three, post four, and the tag.
Perchance to Dream by Sir_Bedevere (1k, g). In which Crowley's bad dreams disturb his and Aziraphale's small snek children, or snildren, and Aziraphale comforts them. I love how totally adorable the snake children - so earnest! so curious! although so small! - are, and how adorably Aziraphale and Crowley care for them.
tell me all the ways by tinsnip (2k, g). In which Crowley’s and Aziraphale’s domestic tranquillity is marred by a little fight. I love the way that this fic embraces the rough edges of the two of them - Aziraphale’s stubborn passive-aggressivenesd, the front Crowley puts up of being a good - bad - you know what I mean! - demon, but is no less - in fact, all the more - about them embracing each other, for all of that.
Mercy by Lise (2k, t). In which, around 1000 AD, Crowley comes to Aziraphale for - not a mercy killing, but a mercy discorporation. I love the trust and worry and dependence that’s present between the two of them even before Aziraphale, at least, is willing to consider them friends, and Crowley’s putting up a strong face that gives way to honesty, and Aziraphale’s avoidance that yields to bravery.
All Sorts Of Fascinating Things by ineffablefool (7k, t). In which Crowley and Aziraphale visit a not!Eden planet on the original starship Enterprise. (No Star Trek characters appear in this fic.) I love the tenderness that the two of them have with each other, the way that Aziraphale, especially, loves all the new human delights of the future, and the gentle humor and adventure of this episode.
Advice From a Tree by Zetared (9k, t). In which Crawly convinces Aziraphale rather than Eve to eat the apple, and everything's different. I love how thoughtfully this fic plays out its premise - although it fucks me up, in parts - I love how it engages with the mythology in a very Good Omens-y way, what it does with Eve and Adam and their eventual family, and how Crowley and Aziraphale deal with the problems this AU brings.
Blind Panic by HopeCoppice (3k, m). In which Crowley, in the process of shedding his skin, is blind for a little while. I love the tenderness, the thoughtfulness, the - oh, there aren't words for this, but the way in which Aziraphale lets Crowley, in the midst of his vulnerability, still take the lead: he's there to help Crowley in only the ways that Crowley wants to be helped.
Still My Heart Has Wings by jessthereckless (9k, m). In which Aziraphale and Crowley work out this whole living-together thing. A very domestic fic, and I love all the little things that go to make up their particular home life, from remodeling as literally making space for each other, to Crowley, of course, cooking - he needs a hobby! - to a truly wonderful take on angelic/demonic slightly telepathic Weird Metaphysical sex, as well as only slightly weird purely physical sex ;).
pining, smoking, and other things we do to pass time by SoulJelly (2k, e). In which Crowley fucks Shadwell, outside a pub in the 1980s. (Of course he’d much rather be with Aziraphale, but you can’t always get what you want). I love the portrait this story paints of Crowley as such a deeply disaffected demon, at this point in his life - not even all that much into wiling, much less anything else - but this is what he’s got.
an unperfect actor by equestrianstatue (2k, e). In which Aziraphale saw a dirty postcard some time ago, and wants to do the thing. I love how it layers past unfulfilled desire under the present fulfillment (aka, sex), and also the gentle teasing between Aziraphale and Crowley that’s note-perfect.
the moment to its crisis by sabinelagrande (3k, e). In which Aziraphale has been a virgin for six thousand years, but no longer. I love the viscerally hot cunnilingus, and Aziraphale’s matter-of-fact discussion of his, um, problems with his anatomy, but most of all I love how it’s not only humans who suffer from ‘don’t have sex’ religious propaganda - angels do, too.
Possession by spunknbite (8k, e). In which Crowley possesses Aziraphale, and they have sex and also many feelings. I love how this fic chooses to portray the experience of possession - how there’s some degree of sharing another’s thoughts, feelings, memories, etc., as well as body - but not all at once and completely - more like a strange and very intimate kind of dialogue. With sex.

All Sorts Of Fascinating Things
by ineffablefool
Galactic High Commissioner Crowley and his assistant were definitely aboard the Enterprise on Federation business. That business was completely unknown to the crew, though, so why the pair got to join the advance scouting parties for upcoming shore leave was anyone’s guess.
(Remember the original Star Trek episode "Shore Leave"? Aziraphale and Crowley are there now, because hitching a ride on the Enterprise sounded like fun. Probably nothing weird will happen on that nice idyllic planet. Yep, just two ridiculously-in-love supernatural entities, and nothing else going on at all. Wait, where'd those ducks come from?)
Words: 6855, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Categories: Other
Characters: Aziraphale (Good Omens), Crowley (Good Omens), Spock from Star Trek TOS gets mentioned but that's it, some no-name random crew members also get mentioned, and the caretaker guy from the Shore Leave episode of TOS has a few lines
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Ineffable Husbands (Good Omens), Established Relationship, ~250 years established at this point, Asexual Relationship, No Sex, No Smut, Chubby Aziraphale (Good Omens), (not a plot point but Crowley gets plenty of POV and he loves his round angel so y'know), Fluff, Romantic Fluff, I just wanted to write established-relationship fluff so here it is almost 7k words of it, Kissing, Cuddling & Snuggling, Post-Canon, Pet Names, Crowley being an obnoxious flirt, Because it's fun, and because he loves his round angel, This story has art!, but that will not become a habit because it takes me f o r e v e r to produce artwork, includes a completely asexual approach to why Crowley is Very Interested in watching Aziraphale eat, and also some completely asexual feeding, it's about the Tender Devotion, also this isn't an AU it's just set way in the future, To Boldly Get A Wiggle On

I think that everyone who puts together a Good Omens con with in-person elements, and doesn't include vigorous mitigation options including but not limited to a fully enforced mask mandate, should pay every medically-vulnerable member of the fandom five bucks.
Inclusion is hard and inconvenient and you don't wanna do it. I get it. We're being left behind so you can have more fun. But if you're not gonna look me right in the eyes (metaphorically) and tell me "you are not worth the bother to include", then you could at least buy me a goddamn consolation coffee. (Or send five bucks to your local food pantry in my name, whatever. But other excludees might still want the coffee.)
(I'd be very interested in seeing the science which leads to the conclusion that covid will be over by such and such date, thus rendering my concerns obsolete. Otherwise, completely skipping over any kind of planning almost feels like a gamble which you have decided is worth it because it's not like you lose anything if your medically-vulnerable fellow fans end up excluded from all your super awesome fun in-person events.)

Random note that I've built up like half a dozen unanswered asks in the last few months and I will be getting to them at some point! I am not ignoring anyone (I would ignore any mean or bad-faith asks but there haven't been any of those in a long time)
But since I haven't screamed this into the void much lately, a refresher on some things that are true: 1) ace, aro, and aroace people are wonderful exactly as they are; 2) fat people are marvelous without size- or health-based limit; and 3) those two points again, over and over and over, for the rest of time.

Or Treat
“Or treat!” chorused four young voices, as Crowley opened the door; and then “My mum and dad say I’m not supposed to play tricks on people,” Adam said, in a tone that suggested he’d already had to explain this several times. “So we’re just leaving that part out.” Their group had a silent fifth, waiting outside the glow of the porch light. Aziraphale actually was Adam’s godfather, unlike Crowley, who just seemed to have been adopted as some kind of communal weird uncle when he’d moved here — and it must’ve been Aziraphale’s year to take the kids trick-or-treating, because there he was. His hands rested quietly behind his back. His soft-looking hair curled around his shadowed face, and his soft-looking everything else hid beneath some kind of white getup. A sheet, maybe, meant to be done up like a toga or a robe. His usual brogues had been swapped out for sandals. Crowley was pretty sure he could see his ankles. Crowley really needed to not be thinking about adorable fat ankles.

It is spooky season! Perhaps you will enjoy this small human AU one-shot? It's mostly not about the Them if that makes a difference. Also, it involves a not-britpicked approach to Halloween, not least because the word "sweets" to describe a thing you consume just bugs me. Kind of like "bitters" does. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go eat a salty and drink an umami. ("drinking a sour", you are on thin ice.)

I tried to explain to my non-tumblr-using housemate why so many people would be more surprised by a walrus knocking on their door than a fairy, and he immediately posited the idea of the walrus having an accomplice who could knock for them. Because that would make the walrus so much more likely.

Spring Vows
It really was a lovely day, especially in this little sun-dappled space. Here one might imagine the two of them strolling along to be alone in all the world. Beyond these trees might stretch unbroken wilderness, steady mountains and vibrant jungles, rivers and valleys, snowfields and seas – a planet-wide Garden where not even Adam had yet taken his first wondering step. And in this new paradise, Aziraphale felt, one angel and one demon might live very happily amongst the beasts and birds and the fish in the seas, together, until eternity's end. Although they would miss the humans.
Read on AO3
Super-soft historical slight canon divergence, where Aziraphale and Crowley have been able to have a slightly closer/more affectionate relationship than in canon. Also? A young lady named Sarah, one possible nickname for which is Sadie, and... well, you'll see.
I was lucky enough to be matched with @lonicera-caprifolium in this year's reverse mini bang, and I was more than inspired enough to come up with an outline for probably about 4k words of fic, despite being the type who Never Outlines. I started in on writing...
...and then Everything Kept Happening.
Beautiful human being @hkblack is responsible for this fic being complete and viewable now as opposed to a year or three from now, because she took my outline, sorted through some of my additional babbling, and not only wrote the section I hadn't been able to finish, but expanded it beyond what I had originally been bothering planning to write. Which means even more softness!
I cannot thank loni enough for the inspirational artwork, or hkblack enough for the long-past-last-minute save. I think that with them I was able to make something very nice and soft and lovely, and I hope that you agree!
