[aziraphales-library]

Hello! Thank you for all the work you do!

I did have a look through the tags so hopefully I’m not missing anything super obvious to what I’m looking for.

I’m hoping to find some fics of Crowley interacting with/protecting kids through the ages. Cause he’s a huge softy even if he pretends he isn’t. Aziraphale observing this and having feelings would be awesome but not necessary. I’ve been seeing lots of fanart recently that makes me want to read some similar fics! I can’t stop thinking about Anthony “you can’t kill kids!?” Crowley

Thanks again! Hope you’re all having a lovely day!

Hi! You might be interested in our #crowley is good with kids tag. Here are a few more to add...

Interwoven by MadisonAvenue (T)

Aziraphale watches Crowley entertain children by letting them braid his hair, but not everything is as it seems when Aziraphale learns why Crowley specifically cares for one of the children.

Outside of Eden by atimefeeler (T)

Six Thousand Years of Crowley Being Soft and Taking Care of Kids. (And Six Thousand Years of Aziraphale Taking in and Protecting Outcasts.) Scene 1: Outside the Garden. The First Children in Existence. Children, Crawley discovers, are superior to adults.

Pull Up the Ladder When the Flood Comes by midnightdragons (T)

Aziraphale’s face dawned with a sudden understanding. He knelt to the ground beside Crawley, slowly and purposefully, never breaking his gaze until his eyes flicked to Crawley’s wing. A silent question. Crawley did not answer for a long moment. He couldn’t breathe, his throat constricting in on itself. Did he trust this angel? Could he trust this angel? Did he really have enough faith in Aziraphale, who he had spent little to no time with since the Garden, to not harm these children? (Or: Crawley saves children during the Flood in Mesopotamia, and finds himself in an even more jeopardizing situation as he seeks out shelter. Aziraphale struggles with his own internal conflict, but attempts to help all the same.)

The Book of Bithiah by LucyCrewe11 (M)

In pre-flooded Mesopotamia, Crawly rescues a drowning child and unwittingly sets off a chain of unexpected events, resulting in him working in Hastur's household. As the world grows more violent and evil each day, filled with demons and Nephilim, the infamous flood draws ever-nearer...only nobody except Noah's family and one very fussy angel are taking any note...

[desperateground]

may i humbly self-rec my St. Dymphna's series which involves Crowley running an extremely healthy and fun mother and child home

[fellshish]

What's the funniest Good Omens fic you've read? Explicit or General xx

Dearly departed has some deeply funny scenes and descriptions pretty reminiscent of the good omens book. Then there’s this dumbass4dumbass mutual confession fic. And this bad communication series has such funny clever dialogue. Some people have called this jesus fic funny (the writer might sound familiar).

I’ve been reading mostly angst i’m afraid. But i’m very much interested in more recs for funny fics if people have them!

[gingiekittycat]

Most recently I read Too Hot For Heavenly Handling by @hollybennett123 which was HILARIOUS.

And also of course anything by TheOldAquarian, particularly In Mixed Company, or the Corporate Retreat of Heaven and Hell (which I have read about 1000 times).

[nadianova]

be there or be decimated into squares 🔪🔪🩸🩸

[nadianova]

everyone glancing at this and being like damn this looks neat i wish i knew how to code so i could make a visual novel. well heres the thing. i dont know how to code either and look how many visual novels ive done. all you need is insanity and perversion thats just how great renpy is. you just slap "how to do x in renpy" in google and you probably have your answer. if its too complicated ask in the jam community chat and the vn nerds will rush in to help

but nadia nova i cant draw?? yes you can. maybe its bad but you can. trace some anime girls and go paw hands mode its good for the soul. and the thing is. you dont even need art for a visual novel. many of mine and many of my favorites dont have a single sprite or a cg. go play slime feet its literally just a text log and that shits making people bust and cry

but nadia nova i cant write?? if you can read you can write. all you need is imagination and decide you wanna go for it. pick your favorite story and make your own version of it. vent about your brain problems and put them on a character you want to throw down and up the staircase. do your own spin of a trope that pissed you off completely out of spite if thats what motivates you. literally just write smut about your favorite kinks. thats what im doing. theres infinite approaches.

but nadia nova. i want to write/draw GOOD if im going to make a thing!! i cant do it otherwise!! kill the perfectionism in your head. the only way to get better at those things is by doing it. its better to try and make something bad than to not do it at all. thats how i started. thats how everyone started. you can too

guhhh but nadia nova please my visual novel HAS TO HAVE amazing art and great writing and awesome cool brilliant custom ui!!!! then bring your friend who can complement your abilities or make something on your own while you get into the dev community and connect with other devs to work together!!! simply hanging out in spaces with other artists passively raises your own experience. even the lurkers grow stronger. thats just how it works.

nnghhhnghhnadiaaa but im so busy and my life is so full of shit to manage and i have depression and adhd and autism and evil brain disorder and have no time to commit!!! okay you got me there. in my humble and perfect always correct princess opinion this is literally the only valid point. but even then. examine it. how long do you spend just watching videos or playing games or doomscrolling?? you can chip some extra time and energy from a lot of places. many people who manage to make these entries are in surprisingly similar situations as you are. just scope small and go for it. your vn can literally be 5 minutes long. its longer than a vn thats 0 minutes long because it doest exist. and then you get better and more confident at it and suddenly you can do so much more.

hop on bitch i genuinely believe anyone passionate enough about creating can make a visual novel. its about the mindset and ive seen it come true countless of times. believe in yourself. i believe in you. even if you have read all of this and come to the conclusion that you dont have it in you be curious and read the rest of my thoughts on how to approach a project like this. its really fun. it really is. believe in the power of visual novels

Something sweet and a little spicy for Valentine's Day ♥️

I love the idea of worshipping the other's "imperfections" so much, because it makes us human. You're beautiful just the way you are.

And we all love a transmasc Crowley and stretch marks on our angel, now do we? ♥️

Happy Valentine's Day ♥️
