If you are into thirst for our lads, smut, adult language, sinful thoughts, and debauchery, with the Good Omens Cinematic Universe as a unifying thread, this may be the place for you.
If you are into protecting the vibe of this place as somewhere that we can be feral, have fun, not be judged, and not take ourselves too seriously, this is definitely the place for you.
If you are into being an asshole, discrimination, personal attacks, judging kinks, or anything else that will make the mods here have to do Mod Work, you can fuck right off to some other sub. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Crowley is a contestant on the new revival of 90s TV hit Gladiators.
His opponent? A soft, pretty angel of a man.
This will definitely not cause any problems whatsoever.
Excerpt:
Crowley was not bothered by heights. Give him a rock face to climb, strap him into a harness and he was fine. But up on this not-very-stable podium, he was beginning to understand the fear of falling, even if he wasn't actually very high up.
Admittedly, the fear was somewhat helped along by the massive crowd of people just waiting to watch him fall. And his opponent in this game, a six-foot-six, blond behemoth of a man who went by 'Bionic' and who made Crowley—who normally towered over other people at six-foot-one—look childlike and waifish.
The pugil stick looked a lot less like a cotton bud, up this close, and more like something that would hurt a lot to get hit with.
"Oh, no you don't!" Crowley shouted from across the pyre, catching her by the shoulders. "Angel, grab the book!"
Singeing his fingers, Aziraphale pulled the Book out of the flames, patting the embers till it burned no more. But still, the darkness swirled around them, threatening to consume them as well.
"Let me go!" Michael cried, thrashing against Crowley's grip.
"I know what it means to be unforgivable," Crowley hissed, "and you don't get off that easy. Quick, while you still can— what's the first thing you remember?"
Latest update of this gentle, healing fix-it fic for S3 is now up. Thanks for all the love on this project so far, it's meant a lot.
Content warning I will be gratuitously describing this photo which now lives in my brain rent-free
The premise is - what if Aziraphale didn't stay away? What if he came back sooner, and he and Crowley had a chance to begin to talk and work out their differences before the high stakes rush to the end? If we just changed that one detail, how would the rest of the story of the finale unfold?

Summary:
Captain Will Charity has heard rumours of a book of prophecies by one Agnes Nutter. He seeks to stop it falling into the wrong hands, leading him to A.Z. Fell and Co. How will Aziraphale react to this mysterious man showing up in his shop? And more importantly, does Aziraphale have the all-important prophecies?
A light-hearted Good Omens crossover fic!
Excerpt:
A very rare and rather dubious book had come to light, rumours circling the Bureau of Antiquities for months on end. At first, they were just that, rumours and conjecture, but over time there seemed to be some substance to them—something Will couldn’t ignore, even if he wanted to.

Through-The-Ages Theatre's Halloween night celebrations continue. Will Aziraphale be able to tell Crowley about Tracy’s offer? Or will a spot o’ bodysnatchin’ get in the way?
Chapter Excerpt:
Crowley weaved his wobbly way through the crowd of customers towards the entrance. But he was forced to pause at the pub door when he found it blocked by two women from the Halloween-themed hen party. They were trying, unsuccessfully, to get a disheveled mannequin that was dressed as what he could only guess to be Frankenstein’s monster out through it.
As the girls swung the mannequin around to see if they could fit it through the doorway easier horizontally, Crowley had to quickly shoot out a startled hand to grab one of the legs and stop it from hitting him straight in the face.
“Oi! This one's ours, ya bastard! Go get yer own!” shouted the angrier of the two women, who was dressed as a ragged Victorian street urchin. She had a label stuck to her that said ‘The Bodysnatcher’.
Series Summary:
Aziraphale and Crowley met in a garden — well, to be more precise, a kindergarten — at a private religious school called Eden. After forming an unlikely friendship, we follow them through their time at Eden and beyond. Will they be able to turn their lifelong friendship into something more? And can they work out an Arrangement that allows them to create a happy life for themselves? A fluffy ‘through-the-ages’ inspired AU that starts, as it will end, in a garden — while hitting every ‘age’ in between.
Each work in this series will focus on one ‘age’ from canon, with the ratings and tags maturing as they do. Once they are adults, some of the works in this series from 'Rome' onwards will be rated Explicit.

Summary: Aziraphale returns to the village where he was born and finds himself incapable of fighting off the beckoning call of the pitch black castle that haunted his youth.
Excerpt:
Crowley spoke again, adding to the orchestral swell. “The music of the start of everything swirls within your mind. The music speaks of wonders witnessed, wonders wished, and wonders you dare not dream. I wonder what the colors of the universe would look like, reflected in your eyes. How the sight of it would add more layers to your magnum opus.”
Aziraphale’s heart alternated hammering and fluttering and he was sure it was near to giving out altogether.
I feel faint…
Cover art by me, inspired by the Macmillan Publishers Dracula paperback.
For the last couple of weeks as I processed the ending of Good Omens, I couldn't help but start writing my own version of how the ending could have been solved without the need to obliterate Crowley and Aziraphale. I had an initial idea that I started writing. Other posts I saw by @theonevoice (here) and @cliopadra (here and here) were further inspirations into getting it done. (love your work guys!)
What started as a short fun silly story ended up being quite the epic love letter. As I explain in the notes, the characters caught feelings and I felt it my duty to give them the space to explore said feelings.
If you're not looking for a season 3 fix it, then this is not the story for you, but if you give it a chance I think you will see that it still preserves an ending in a much kinder, gentler and more healing way.
I needed to give not only our Ineffables but the Fandom a chance to have the happy ending they deserved. So while I still work on The Wrong Bookshop, and my still unpublished speculative S3 fic (which will now also be a fix-it in its own right), please enjoy Within the margins lives my heart.
Summary: What if Crowley and Aziraphale chose a different path other than obliteration? Cue a million years of fluff, humour, love and healing.
Rating: T
Words: 8463
Excerpt: They clasped hands, Aziraphale feeling the warmth and softness of Crowley’s hand in his, sending shockwaves of electricity up his arm. A multitude of feelings, exploding like fireworks zinging across a night sky, danced along his senses. Flashes filled with hues of grace and tenderness, dappled with longing and forbidden desire. It was the beginning and the end, and it felt in a word, wonderful. A bittersweet wonder overshadowed by the grave and impending resignation to fate. 6000 years of history poured into a simple physical human gesture vibrated along his skin, a heavy consolation for the sacrifice they were about to make. Were they really about to make this choice? Ask for erasure? Start everything anew, even after all they fought for? Doubt seeped into his heart as questions rose thick and fast. Surely this can’t be the end? Can there be another way? How can we possibly say goodbye? How could Crowley, the one always filled with questions be so readily silent now? But before Aziraphale could tease out the thread of his doubts, Crowley gently squeezed his hand, indicating now was the moment to reveal their decision. Aziraphale looked to God and Satan, appalled by their oblique faces shrouded by a mask of bored anticipation. He realised now they had been challenged to choose between servitude and oblivion, like it was any kind of real choice. Aziraphale felt the weight of their stares bearing down upon them, stone after heavy stone of judgement piling atop his chest, each new mass daring them to decide. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Crowley works in an art gallery, one day she meets a young dashing man, unwillingly holding a grip over her.
Inviting her to meet her favourite artist, she looses herself.
Crowley and Jamie have a talk, while Lucifer is waiting for her.
Excerpt:
Her steps are fast and her heart beats joyous. Please be there. Suddenly a cold shower runs over her back, she sharply turns around and looks over the empty street. Her brows furrow. She must have imagined it. Her senses are all over the place. She takes a few deep breaths. She laughs out and shakes her head, this is ridiculous.
Thanks to the rather limited duration of their new mortal lives, Aziraphale and Crowley wasted no time deciding they wanted to spend their time together. Within twenty-four hours they had accomplished a surprising amount of kissing, one decent orgasm each, and a rapid introduction to hunger, thirst, fatigue, and other baffling features of the human condition. (See previous fic in the series!)
Over the next few months, everything starts to fall neatly into place. With the notable exception of their ability to actually say how they feel. Naturally, they get there in the end; there would be little point in telling the story otherwise. Unfortunately, getting there requires a number of failed attempts, several near-confessions, a handful of arguments, a few reconciliations, and rather a lot of sex. They do, at least, learn something about themselves and their relationship in the process.

Rating: E for sex reasons, mind the tags, specific triggers to be noted at the top of individual chapters.
A/N: This will be an out-of-order series of snapshots from their first three months of living mortal, human lives. It follows on from ‘In the Interests of Time’ but you don’t necessarily need to read that first. You also don’t really need to read this in order (with the exception of a few pairs of chapters which are single events split across two chapters because those events got out of hand wordcount wise). I think this works best read front to back and not in temporal order but who knows?! I’ll post the chronology at the end for anyone who wants to try!
Thank you enormously to Unicornbeck who has left me dozens and dozens of lovely comments over the years and who left this very wonderful and reasonable note just before the epilogue got posted for ‘In the Interests of Time’:
I have but one request, but it’s rude to expect an author to obey the whims of one reader among many. I’m going to spill it because like Eric before me, I CANNOT keep my mouth shut, but please understand I’m expressing a yearning that A) you put there (I’m pointing at you) and B) you are under no obligation to fulfill. I will not be hurt or offended if you ignore me for what your story needs.
My begged ask is just this, because let’s face it: you’ve edged us all, here: Words of love
Which is a totally awesome comment to receive and I responded very reasonably with something along the lines of:
Nah. I’ve already written the epilogue and Crowley’s shit at feelings and I cannot figure out how to make him say it.
Although I was probably nicer about it. I then thought about it for a little bit — especially in the aftermath of season three (which has absolutely no connection to this fic thank you very much) — and became quite unreasonably obsessed and now, here we are. Twelve chapters and close to 70k words, all squarely focussed on ‘words of love’.
But I will argue that at least I am not ‘edging’ anyone because you get an ‘I love you’ right out the gate. No tricks or gimmicks here (okay lots of tricks and gimmicks). This has been an absolute blast to write and I hope it hangs together how it does in my head. Telling the story out of order is always a bit terrifying so I hope it makes sense.
Thanks to Narumila and u/ModernDayKlutz for jumping on board as betas! They’ve managed to dive right into a messy 70k and hardly even blink at the absurdity, not to mention wading through some very verbose sex scenes (as usual). Their notes and corrections have been big improvements!!
And thanks to all of you for reading! Enjoy chapter one which just so happens to sit about halfway through our three month journey!
Excerpt:
“I love you.” Aziraphale states it casually across the little dining table in the back room of the bookshop while Crowley makes a mess of a warm pain au chocolat.
Crowley doesn’t stop chewing but he grins around a mouthful, white teeth shining and his lips flecked with crumbs. His nose scrunches in pleasure as he rolls his eyes and chocolate smears from between the pastry layers to drip down the back of his hand.
Aziraphale smiles back at him before taking a sip of his tea. He watches Crowley cram more of his breakfast into his mouth and then lick his fingers, all without pausing to swallow. Crowley grunts some sort of unintelligible response that definitely isn’t an attempt to say it back, nor is it resistance to hearing it, before finally washing the pasty down with large gulps of his morning coffee.
spill my heart into the valley of the lights - Part 1 COMPLETE
Welcome to my Uber Driver AU! This one surprised me at every turn. I hope it does the same for you. This fic is complete and will update on Tuesdays.
This week, it’s Part 1, Chapter 7. Part 1 is now COMPLETE. Part 2 will pick up three years later.
Fic summary:
Anthony Crowley is an artist who works the night shift as a rideshare driver. One night, he picks up a mysterious passenger who seems to be in distress. As their lives become more and more entwined, Anthony goes on a journey he never expected.
In this chapter, we finally get to hear from Aziraphale himself.

Asa looked over at him like he had two heads. “What? Of course they have ears. What sort of a question is that?”
“I thought you liked questions. Besides, it doesn’t look like they have ears, so…” Anthony shrugged.

I was going to pick my favorite Pride-related stories for this month, then I decided you are going to have no trouble finding those stories. I might even offer a few of my own.
The travelers in these tales are restless. They don’t know how to settle down, nor do they think they want to. They haven’t stopped moving for some time. Then they meet someone who makes them reconsider.
Coming up with themes and ways stories are connected isn’t always easy or obvious. But somehow, these three stories fell together immediately.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Summary: Restless traveler, Aziraphale Fell, meets settled-down Anthony Crowley in middle-of-nowhere, Texas. Aziraphale goes through life flitting from place to place, never staying long. He runs on the belief that if he’s not going, he’s missing out on something better. Crowley’s life is stationary. He keeps himself rooted with the belief that his life is the best it’s ever going to get, and to go would be to risk that. Aziraphale has to go. Crowley has to stay. They have to take what they can get from each other, and that needs to be enough.
My Take: I’ve read this story at least three times now. Each time I get a little more from it. The central question here is, what do you do when you are terribly in love and yet that isn’t enough to make you change who you believe you are at your core? Can one person ever be enough to make you give up everything else? Should they be? It’s something a lot of us have struggled with. It’s very well done, heartbreaking, and the ending makes more sense than you might expect.

Summary: When Anthony Crowley meets Aziraphale Fell at Aziraphale's library, little do they know that they will turn each other's worlds upside down. After a magical week spent falling in love, they face a hard reality. Will they be able to make the choices they need to make to build a real life together?
My Take: I’ve read this one several times, too. Imagine my delight when I finally realized the author was my friend Thingy! It takes me a while sometimes. (Those of you who remember my story about my bday fic written by @brenna will understand.)
This story has so many great tropes: strangers to friends to lovers, long-distance relationship struggles, commitment issues, secrets, misunderstandings, jealousy. And of course my BIG requirement: a happy ending.
Here, the problem is Crowley can’t seem to stop moving, to settle into a relationship, to commit—even though it appears he wants to. It takes a while to find out why. When you do, be ready for a bit of heartbreak before the guaranteed happy ending.

Summary: Azira Fell is happy sailing solo and living aboard her sailboat, Meander, with her cat Oscar. Toni Crowley is happy sailing solo and living aboard her sailboat, Siren. What will happen when the two independent cruisers meet?
My Take: This is the femme Good Omens human AU you never knew you needed. Hell, until I beta’d it, I didn’t even know I needed it. But I did, and so do you.
CuriousPupsicle knows her boats (she lived aboard for years; don’t ask me about it, I’m not the expert) and makes you feel as if you are there when you read any of her sailing stories. This isn’t an adventure story like Anchored (also an excellent story, but much different). This is a lazy, slow, will-they-or-won’t-they summer romance, perfect for reading right about now. Other GO characters pop up (Tracy and Shadwell as long-time sailing friends, Gabriel as, well, Gabriel) and the whole thing feels like a comfort read the first time you read it.
Okay, that's it for June. We'll be well into summer by the time I write my next set of fic recs. Maybe something about vacations? Or maybe something on the water? We'll see what floats my boat. (See what I did there? Yeah?)
I'm cross-posting this to my side blog for those who might be seeing this twice. Just so you know.

An excerpt 👇
Anthony adjusts the same stack of books for the third time in as many minutes.
They don’t need adjusting—he knows that. Knows the edges are already lined up, the covers angled just so to catch the eye—but his hands keep finding something to do anyway. A thumb nudging a spine into place, fingers smoothing over a cover that’s already flat, a quiet, restless energy with nowhere else to go.
It’s not nerves, he tells himself.
It’s not the heat, either. The canopy above him does its job well enough, a square of shade cutting through the heavy July sun, even if the warmth still presses in from all sides—rising off the tarmac, caught between bodies, thick with the smell of sweat and dust and spray paint that never quite left the place. The air feels alive, vibrating with anticipation.
Beyond the stall, on the opposite side of the street, St Jude’s looms. Even covered, it dominates everything. The tarpaulin stretched across the façade ripples faintly in the breeze, its vast surface pulled tight over the mural beneath. It hides the details, the colours, the work—but not the scale of it. Not the presence. It turns the whole building into something expectant, like a held breath made solid.
And in front of it—
Anthony exhales slowly, his gaze drifting out over the crowd.
Thousands.
It still hits him, even now. The sheer volume of people packed into the forecourt and spilling out into the streets beyond. Banners ripple overhead in uneven waves—hand-painted slogans bleeding red and gold across white sheets, cardboard signs held high, flags from neighbourhood unions snapping in the heat. The noise rolls and dips, never quite settling—chants rising in bursts, laughter cutting through it, the metallic rhythm of something being struck further back.
It’s chaos. Familiar chaos. And Christ, he’s missed it.
His chest tightens—not with pain, for once, but with something sudden and bright that settles just beneath his ribs. Excitement, maybe. Relief. Something that edges dangerously close to joy.
He shifts slightly in his chair, careful, adjusting his weight so the dull pull along his side doesn’t flare into anything sharper. He’s trying to sit upright, composed—somewhere between aloof and not completely rigid. The pain’s still there, threaded through everything, but he’d put up with worse for the adrenaline buzzing through him now.
He thinks, mildly, that he’ll probably regret this little stunt tomorrow. But it’s worth it. Completely worth it.
“Mate, if you rearrange those one more time, I’m charging you rent for the table.” Eric’s voice cuts in from his left, dry as anything.
Anthony snorts, not even looking at him. “You’d have to prove ownership first.”
“I will find a way, if you keep foreplaying with that Traven,” Eric mutters, arms folded across his chest, stance loose but watchful.

After Crowley hits Anathema with his car, the magistrate sentences him to six weeks in a Safe and Considerate Driving course. It feels like a colossal waste of time, but at least the instructor is easy on the eyes.

I was lucky the sodding thing didn't go through the windscreen, but I had to pay for all that plus the witch's bent bicycle frame, and it wasn't even my fault. Talk about an injustice system."
"Calling her a 'witch' seems a trifle unfair, don't you think?" asked Aziraphale. He sounded scandalised.
"Her business card literally listed 'Witch' as her occupation," Crowley said, rolling his eyes.
