Good Omens-related writing reference post

Just putting the fics I’ve written so far in one post, so I can have the links compiled in one place (for my sake and anyone who is interested in reading these fics!). I will continue to add to/update this post if/when I write more.

Also, these fics are of the spicy variety, but I am definitely not opposed to writing a fluffy Aziraphale/Crowley fic, so something more PG-ish might be on the horizon. (And if anyone has any requests or prompts for shorter ficlets just for Tumblr, feel free to shoot me an ask!)

So, it is now three days into Pride, and the gayness just keeps on coming. This is a screenshot from 2019 of Michael responding to a piece of Ineffable Husbands fanart of Aziraphale and Crowley at the cinema in the 1980s.

For those who may not know (as I didn’t, not being from the UK), La Scala was a cinema in King’s Cross, an area of London that (pre-Soho) was a haven for all things LGBTQ, and showed many LGBTQ-themed films throughout its notorious run.

But the extra special thing about these gay all-nighters (and which Michael would have undoubtedly known when writing that tweet) was that all sorts of debauchery (a.k.a., gay orgies) tended to ensue among its patrons:

…So, not only do we know that Michael has thought about Aziraphale and Crowley fucking, we also know that he has thought specifically about when and where they would fuck…and it’s in a place nicknamed The Sodom Odeon. On top of all that, we now have GO season 2 coming out with a scene filmed in the Bo’ness Hippodrome and Michael looking incredibly smug on the day of filming said scene. In a dark cinema. With David. I just don’t even know what else to say…

(Also…What were you doing in King’s Cross in the mid/late ‘80s, Michael? Is this knowledge all from firsthandjob experience? Because I would not be at all surprised…)

Just sitting here on Day 2 of Pride Month thinking about these comments on an Insta edit of Michael and David in Staged. (The last one in particular almost killed me...)

Finding this on the second day of Pride month and realizing it’s from 2009 like… (x)

Same, Michael, same

The utter soft fondness in his face when looking at David. Seven years later, and he still looks at him that way...

Michael: From early on I’d decided that I think Aziraphale is a bit in love with Crowley even though he’s like the absolute opposite, they’re on opposite teams. There was something about… I sort of tried to think about: How would you play an angel, well, it must be a being full of love,so then if you’ve got someone who’s supposed to be your absolute enemy and the opposite how does that work if you’re full of love for them and I think he just sort of falls in love with Crowley over the hundreds and hundreds… the millenia that they spent together. And, so that helps because David is very easy to fall in love with. So I just spent most of my time just gazing at him lovingly in scenes. (x)

Happy Pride Month, everyone… 🌈 💗

Bonus clip of Michael on the WTAWTAW podcast talking about his experiences with gender expression as a teenager in Port Talbot and mentioning his crush on John Taylor again. Transcript of notable highlights below:

Michael: "So when I was 12, 13--early '80s, the time that Allie is talking about--and I saw girls with lip gloss and wearing rah-rah skirts and leg warmers and stuff, [whispers] and I was a little bit jealous. Course, never said that, never said that. In Port Talbot if I'd mentioned that, my life would've been hell. But I do remember being quite...attracted by the trappings. A lot of trappings for girls. We didn't have stuff like that for boys. There were rituals for girls, doing your makeup, doing your hair." Michael: "I mean, my first crush--I said this on a thing I did called The Assembly recently--my first crush was a man called--ah, John Taylor from Duran Duran. Ohh, he was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. The way I processed it was, like, I'm gonna try and look like John Taylor, try and make my hair like John Taylor." Michael: "And they always used to have a bit of lip gloss going on, didn't they? Those New Romantics. But like I say, I couldn't really try that out in Port Talbot."

This goes directly back to things I have written about on my blog previously, about Michael having these feelings and not being able to express them because of where he grew up and the hateful climate that Section 28 fostered. This is why it is so difficult for someone of Michael's generation to label themselves, because none of that is lightly shaken off.

Even hearing the way Michael talks about it in the podcast, you can tell that this is not a joke, but a longing for something that he still remembers so vividly, because it meant so much to him at the time, and still does. Also, Michael has now mentioned his crush on John Taylor twice in the span of two months after not saying anything about it for years, and if that doesn't tell you where his heart and mind are right now, I'm not sure what does. Neither he nor David need a formal announcement to make it clear who they are, because they've already been telling us...

So, David had a sex scene in episode 5 of Rivals season two, and we very predictably get this from Georgia the next day:

"Mine" is just immediately giving me flashbacks to the night of the NTAs in 2021, when Georgia posted the same thing. It's also worth noting that she could have posted these half term break pictures at any time, but specifically chose to do it right after that scene came out...

We may not have gotten the ending we wanted for our Ineffables, but we still have these two beautiful, lovely souls that were meant for each other, however you look at it. ♥️✨
