More Crowley efforts to get Aziraphale to accept the reality of the situation. While Aziraphale just has a grand old time...in more ways than one.

Excerpts

Crowley Excerpt

With a snap of his fingers, Crowley watched the slow process unfurl: Angel waking fully, finding himself unable to move, his eyes widening in alarm, inevitably followed by their frenzied skittering around the room in search of somewhere to land, something upon which to place blame or an explanation, until coming to a stop on or near himself. That was always his favourite part. Crowley would hold still and wait until the person's eyes adjusted to the darkness and they realised that something was off, that perhaps they weren't alone.

Aziraphale Excerpt

Oh good lord, he thought. I'm being haunted by a demon who is completely gorgeous, and here I am frozen, in my sleep-rumpled tartan pyjamas, probably drooling on my chin. Could this night possibly get any more mortifying?

The snarl on the demon's face suddenly turned to astonishment as he took in Aziraphale, his eyes travelling his face. Their gazes locked for several seconds, and Aziraphale felt heat swirling in his chest and gut.

Oh, keep looking at me like that. Please.

Fic Summary:

Crowley is a Sleep Paralysis Demon.

Aziraphale is the human he's been assigned to.

Aziraphale has insomnia, and somehow, the spooky things Crowley does keep lulling him to sleep. He's very grateful.

Crowley is very annoyed.

Thanks @goodomensafterdark writer's guild for the infrastructure of support! @totheendtimes and @ireallyneedmoretea are the best betas! And my art beta who helped me with a scene and I can't find their tumblr name but will work on that - thank you for the insights!

Summary:

Crowley is cold, but fortunately his angel is a very effective heat source.

Excerpt:

"Heat flows from hotter to colder objects at a rate that's related to the properties of the materials in question. Putting insulation in the way only slows down the process. You're warm, I'm cold, heat goes from your corporation to mine. 'S the second law of thermodynamics, Angel."

"Oh, a law, is it?" Aziraphale asked with an affectionate smile. "And since when did you care so much about obeying the law?"

Crowley wriggled in his personal version of a full-body shrug. "This one's a keeper," he said. "Was there when it was invented, after all, and sometimes it works in my favour. Like now. From your warm body to my cold feet."

Nothing lasts forever... ___

ID: Digitially painted Good Omens fanart; a series of one long strip of images cut into smaller images. The first panel reads "Oh Crowley", all subsequent images depict Crowley during a different era. The first is him as we see him at the season 2 finale, the second at the season 1 finale, the third as he appeared in 1967, followed by him in 1941 holding the gun from the bullet catch scene, then we see him as he appeared in 1601, followed by how he appeared in 41 AD, next is him in 33 AD during the crucifixtion, followed by him dressed as Bildad the Shuhite in 2500 BC, second to last is his appearance in 3004 BC before the flood and finally we see him as he appeared on the wall of Eden. The long strip of images is followed by a series of images showing angel Crowley; initially without wings and by himself, before we zoom out to see Aziraphale first looking at him and then glancing away with a worried expression. End ID.

So I guess there's some long-ass post circulating, where somebody says they like the Good Omens ending where the protagonists (and everybody else in the universe) are disintegrated into dust, but they need everybody who's sad about that to shut up and not say anything, because sad people are ruining their enjoyment of everyone getting disintegrated. Ohhhhh..........kay?

[laudaddysmitten]

I haven't seen the post referenced, but a lot of people in the fandom were legitimately traumatized by the finale.

(This S1 example with The Them is perfect actually, they're pretty traumatized during this scene...even ADAM is shocked/scared by his own actions).

It's fine for people to enjoy the finale in all or in part, I'm happy for you and wish I could be in that camp too.

But listen, I feel it's really important to try to understand that:

"traumatized people are making the happy people feel bummed out"

🚫 is not equivalent to 🚫

"traumatized people are being re-traumatized and told to shut up about it".

Beyond the Bounds of Eden Series

Work 11: '1941'

Rated T

Crowley is driving down to London to meet Aziraphale for a well-earned week off. But after getting a surprise phone call, he quickly realises that all is not well. Will he be able to get to his boyfriend in time to help? And will he get the chance to share a surprise of his own?

Chapter Excerpt:

Another message came through, making Crowley smirk. It probably meant that Aziraphale was just as eager to meet as he was, and wondering what time he’d arrive. “Not much longer now, angel,” Crowley said to the empty van. “I’ve missed you too.”

But when a third and fourth message sent his phone chiming twice again, Crowley’s quirked lips were tugged downwards into a frown. Aziraphale rarely sent so many messages in such quick succession…not unless something was wrong.

Crowley was already looking for a quiet side street where he could pull over to check his phone when it started to ring. Parking the van, he quickly turned off the engine and scrabbled about in his bag to locate the thing.

When he saw that Tracy was the one calling him, his heart, which had already increased its rate of motion, took a running leap straight into his throat.

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:

Self-proclaimed daredevil Anthony Crowley is pretty content with his life - he's got a great job as a journalist at the Celestial Observer, he spends his free time chasing the next adrenaline rush, and he has some really great friends, including the fussy and endearing Aziraphale Fell.

Crowley decides to invite Aziraphale along on his trip, both to help Crowley write the articles and to celebrate Aziraphale's upcoming wedding. Aziraphale almost doesn’t agree to go - but at the last second, and for reasons he doesn’t share with Crowley, Aziraphale changes his mind. 

While on the road Aziraphale and Crowley grow closer than ever as they travel to amusement parks, mountainside and beachside resorts, and a cabin deep in the Great Smoky Mountains. Revelations are had, secrets are finally shared, and both Aziraphale and Crowley are taken on a journey of self-discovery that leaves them forever changed.

Months later, I still find my mind occasionally drifting back to one line from @fellshish’s ‘Empirical study on the principle of snake care’ (absolutely amazingly funny fic) and just laugh to myself about the goddamn day 6 line. I am furious in the most amazing way possible that this has ever refused to leave my mind, literally everyone should read it 😭😭

Filtering out Anthony/Asa fics on AO3

Hi friends!

It has come to my attention that the character and pairings tags on AO3 have consolidated Aziraphale with New Universe Asa, Crowley with New Universe Anthony, and A/C with Anthony/Asa. I have put in a request to AO3 to have these tags separated out. But currently, if you search for A/C pairings, you will get fics that are new universe Anthony/Asa even if they are not tagged with A/C.

However, there is a way to fix this in your own searches.

When you search for fics with Aziraphale, and/or Crowley, and/or Aziraphale/Crowley, you can filter out anything tagged Asa and/or Anthony and/or "Fellony." You can, of course, do this yourself by simply setting the search parameters as such (e.g. if you wanted all Aziraphale fics and no Asa fics), but I thought it might help to provide you with an easy link for the pairing search.

This is a search for Aziraphale/Crowley fics that excludes fics that are tagged Anthony/Asa (either solely or additionally).

https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Aziraphale*s*Crowley%20(Good%20Omens)/works?work_search%5Bexcluded_tag_names%5D=New+Universe+Anthony+Crowley+%28Good+Omens%29%2CNew+Universe+Asa+Fell+%28Good+Omens%5D%2CNew+Universe+Anthony+Crowley%2FNew+Universe+Asa+Fell+%28Good+Omens%29

Beyond the Bounds of Eden Series

Work 10: St James's Park, chapter 2 of 2

Rated E

Crowley and Aziraphale start to adjust to the reality of being apart for so much of the week. But Crowley has an idea for a new arrangement that will help them feel closer to each other on the days they are separated.

Chapter Excerpt:

“Fraternising?” he cackled back.

“Well whatever you wish to call it,” Aziraphale said with a haughty sniff. “No, I do not think there is any point in discussing my tricks further with the likes of you.”

“Eh, that’s alright.” Crowley shrugged, trying not to let his voice betray how overjoyed he was that they could still slip into this easy banter. “I have lots of other people to fraternise with, angel.”

“Oh, of course you do,” came the sarcastic reply.

“I don’t need you,” Crowley shot back.

“And the feeling is mutual. Obviously.”

“Obviously.” He paused. “Angel?”

“Yes, dear?” Aziraphale asked affectionately.

“I really fucking love you.”

There was a happy sigh from the other end. “I really love you too, dearest.”

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?

Beyond the Bounds of Eden Series

Work 10: St James's Park, chapter 1 of 2

Rated E (This chapter is T rated.)

The weather might be sunny, but the nippy November air is full of nerves as Aziraphale and Crowley arrange to meet on a bench in St James’s Park. Will they finally have a proper conversation about the previous night’s disastrous drunken proposal? And what will Aziraphale decide to do about Tracy’s offer?

Chapter Excerpt:

The autumnal sunshine brought St James’s Park to life around Aziraphale in a riot of reds, burnt oranges, umbers and golds, while an occasional blustery wind sent already fallen leaves skittering about in swirls and eddies. And yet he didn’t stop to appreciate any of it, too focused as he was on getting to a bench near the coffee kiosk on the far side of the park as quickly as humanly possible. Aziraphale dashed past an ice cream vendor making the most of the late afternoon sun by selling Mr Wippys and strawberry lollies to gaggles of tourists, and then around families with small children throwing breadcrumbs to ducks, his mind firmly set on the location where Crowley had asked to meet him.

This chapter is Rated M

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’.

Crowley's & Aziraphale's Regency Clothing: Shirts

Researching shirts - the base under all those delicious layers- for umm, science & reasons (cough), was rather important for my upcoming 1827 Laudaddy fic!

(Spoiler: GO BTS and Casanova pics included below.)

The shirts are billowy around the body, have frills at the cuffs, and the collar can go all the way to the jaw if starched (our guys wear them folded down so it's just halfway up the neck).

(top left) David Tennant BTS gives the best view of the front and collar of his black shirt. (top right) BTS with Michael Sheen shows Aziraphale's white shirt under/behind the cravat.

(bottom left) BTS David shirt and waistcoat only! Good view of the collar and sleeves. (This pic disproved a supposedly official costumer post calling the red thing being a corset.)

The collar/neckline goes down to roughly below the sternum, then the shirt had to go on/off by pulling over the head. (You can write that they miracle it off, but I think it's more fun the slow/ human way. 😉)

The photos from Casanova do a good job showing what the neckline would be like and the frilly cuffs, such as where it sticks out from the end of his coat on the right. And then.....

"More murders, I'll drink to that!" This still of Crowley shows off the frilly cuffs at his wrist really well. (And his waistcoat, but that's for next time!)
