Is There a Version? (M, 42k, 25/25): This is a full post-s2 fic with a tone closer to s1 and a reality-bending plot that builds on the discontinuities in s2. Can humans, demons, and angels work together to save the world and take control of their own fates when reality seems to be fracturing around them? Now available as a podfic by the wonderful @literarion!
The Album of My Memory (E, 7k, 4/4): In this post-s2 fic, Aziraphale has regained the memories heaven stole from him over the millennia. But that doesn't mean the story of his own existence makes sense. Can he and Crowley help each other understand the past and move into the future?
She Speaks Poniards (T, 2.5k, 1/1): This post-s2 Crowley POV one-shot focuses on the complicated relationship the ineffables have with words and explores hurtful language between them as a two-way street.

âMr. Crowley, I presume?â Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadnât even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasnât one to judge, but⌠what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?
An all time favourite that I know many of my listeners frequently come back to.
Final chapters of Summers at Northwoods posting this week: Chapter 8 on Wednesday, Chapter 9 and the Epilogue on Saturday.
Gorgeous lake art by @becky-7750 (couldn't resist sharing it one last time)
Chapter 8 begins with breakfast by the lake and a conversation that has been waiting ten years to happen.
Chapter 9 finds Crowley and Aziraphale discovering what comes after the truth has finally been spoken.
The Epilogue returns to the dock one last time.
It's been such a joy sharing this quiet little story with all of you. Thank you for every comment, every kudos, and every kind word along the way. I can't wait for you to read the final chapters.
Read from Chapter 8 here: You Help Me Figure Everything OutRead from the beginning here: Summers at Northwoods.
âHello! Iâm Bellisima, (or Bella, or Bell, or B), an elder millennial Nuyorican (Puerto Rican New Yorker) who lives in Long Island with my two kids, my husband and our pet goldfish, Orange. Iâm relatively new to writing for my age, having started only three years ago at the ripe old age of 41. My stories are characterized by big, bold plots and rich, colorful side characters who not only serve as enablers for our Ineffablesâ antics, but also have arcs of their own. I find that a robust supporting cast is a wonderful way to explore a wide variety of themes while remaining true to the characterizations of our beloved Ineffables. I actually have a feeling I may be the first author to list characters OTHER than them as my favorite to write. If youâve read anything Iâve written, that shouldnât come as a shock.
I watched Good Omens in January 2023 after I sped through Davidâs Tenth Doctor run and went searching for more of his works. I liked the first season well enough, but it wasnât until I stumbled upon some pretty incredible fan edits on TikTok in the lead up to Season 2 did the hyper fixation grip me (yes, it was the incredible talent of this FANDOM that drew me here long before the source material). And then the final fifteen left me dumbstruck. The rest is, as they say, history.
As someone on the older side of young, my interest in Good Omens has always been somewhat unconventional in that it spans far beyond the fates of Aziraphale and Crowley, and even beyond the religious implications of the source material. My interest lies in the themes of resistance; of what it means to fight for something versus fight against someone; of nature versus nurture and who you would be if the circumstances surrounding your life were different, and what it takes to look yourself in the mirror and face the truth; of oppression and being oppressed; and, of course, free will and what it means to truly love something more than yourself. All of my stories deal with those themes.â
So very happy to have you stepping into the spotlight, Bellisima đ
And she wants to hear all of your questions so donât hesitate to ask whatever is on your mind in our questionnaire!!Â
âIn addition to talking about my fanfics, I adore talking about writing in general, especially as someone who started relatively recently with very little experience or confidence. If you have questions about how to get started, how to keep going, why to even try, please do send those along. I am more than happy to answer any and all of them!â
If you are a first-time reader of Bellisimaâs work, or are looking for some recommended reads, hereâs some suggestions from the author (and they ALL have a happy ending âşď¸):
âIf you want something short and sweet, I suggest An Antichrist and a Messiah Walk Into a Pub: part vision that came to me while doing dishes and part manifesting what I wanted to see in the finale, this silly (for me) one shot was written in a few hours and shows what a first meeting between the Son of God and the Son of Satan would look like. What would they discuss over fish and chips on the eve of the final judgement? Itâs short and sweet and shows how I treat some of my favorite side characters in this sandbox.
If you want something a bit more meaty, then The Last Angel could work: big, bold and twisty, this is my most ambitious canon-divergent AU that explores the question: what would the world look like if Aziraphale and Crowley had not been assigned to earth. The short answer is: not good. Filled with love and heart and a decent helping of angst, this story spans six divergent POVs to take you on a ride that I hope youâll not only enjoy but remember long after youâve finished.Â
And if canon isnât for you, then I would suggest Faery Godfathers: what I described as a trope smoothie, this one packs so much into (relatively) few words. A reverse omens, double enemies to lovers, fake relationship AU, in which Seelie Prince Adam and Unseelie Prince Warlock, as well as their respective Champions, Crowley and Aziraphale, find themselves battling generations of tradition, oppression, and prejudice to save their Courts and make the world one they can be proud to live in (thanks again @handyowlet for the clear and concise summary).â

Hello, hello! Ch 2 (Ghost in the Picture) of The Haunting of Beryl House is up! Rather than leave you with an excerpt this week, Iâm including the two amazing pieces of art from @anixfelix that accompany the chapter.

Written for the Summer Omens Big Bang. Thanks to the organizers at @gosummerbang for the incredible work put into this one! Thanks to my betas, @ineffablerainstorm, @sakascal, and @stupidphototricks for all their hard work and patience, too!
There is lots of great fanart showing Crowley sprawled on the couch with his head in Aziraphale's lap, which is good and correct. And, at the same time, I've always loved that this piece inverts that. Let Aziraphale show Crowley he feels safest with him; let Crowley have the comfort of knowing he can openly give Aziraphale that safety. They've been sneaking around for so long.

đ Beta: the one and only @beerok23
1811. Returned to London after the death of his father, infamous rake Anthony âCrowleyâ, Duke of Morningstar, has three months to restore his tattered reputation and secure himself a proper match, on pain of having his title stripped from him. Enter the irreproachable Lord Aziraphale, newly minted Viscount Eastgate, who would very much like to discourage his many suitors from lining outside his door in Mayfair so he can go back to enjoying his peaceful existence on the shelf. After a chance meeting at a gentlemenâs club, it appears the two may lend each other a helping hand after all. While a fake engagement will not solve their problems once and for all, it should buy them enough time to put their respective affairs in order. If only the ultimate goal of their Arrangement would remain as clear and unchanging as it shouldâŚ

Excerpt from Chapter 9 - âThe Offerâ:
As the perfect ally to tempt an angel to sloth, the blazing sun gave Crowley an excellent excuse to tell Aziraphale this was no weather one could be studying boring financial ledgers in, and wouldnât it be better if they visited the pond and took in the sights instead?
Despite his perfunctory huffing and puffing, the viscount relented and let himself be dragged to their apple tree. Crowley did not fancy his chances of tempting Aziraphale into much more than lying in the blazing sun and reading one of his books aloud, but their sidereal distance from London, as well as from anyone who would have had plenty to say about their scandalous behaviour, seemed to have loosened something in Aziraphale as well, for he insisted they go for a swim immediately upon their arrival.
Thus did Crowley find himself playing the part of the wary water snake while he stalked a completely naked Aziraphale languidly swimming from one side of the pond to the other, his strokes so graceful and effortless it seemed like the water was simply transporting him back and forth.
Crowley knew, distantly, that this should not have come as a surprise. After all, he had been suspecting Aziraphale was born for a life of decadence ever since heâd seen him scattering endless delicacies over their blanket during their first official outing in St Jamesâs. And yet, there was a big difference between assuming it and seeing it with his own two eyes.
âAre you afraid I might drown?â inquired Aziraphale, pulling Crowley away from his idle musings.
The viscount was floating on his back now, his fair, glistening skin offered to the sun without a single care for his nakedness, while Crowley treaded water a few feet away from him, submerged from the mouth down.
He lifted his head slightly so he could ask, âWhy?â without gulping down half the pond in the process.
âYou are trailing me.â
âDoes it bother you?â
âNo, I was merely wondering whether it was out of concern. In which case, let me assure you it is wholly misplaced.â
âIt is not out of concern. I enjoy it.â Perhaps a little too much.
âFollowing me?â
âWatching you enjoy yourself.â
Many thanks to @addledmongoose for choosing me at this year's @fandomtrumpshate and letting me play with these two for a good causeđ
Re: "anticipating one's vows"â What level of sexual contact was permitted (or tolerated) for an engaged couple in the regency era? Are the jokes about shockingly healthy "preemies" born 6-7 months after a wedding accurate? Would that have been somewhat common, or would it be super scandalous?
I know I've answered this question before somewhere but I can't find it. People didn't write these sort of things down, so we just don't know exactly what they did and what would have been common. However, the fake preemies were actually "discovered" using church records, so that's not a joke or rumour, it was reality:
At the end of the sixteenth century, a full quarter of the brides in certain rural English parishes went to the altar already pregnant. The percentage dipped during the Civil Wars and Interregnum (possibly because of issues with record-keeping rather than an actual change in practice), and came back up to about a fifth in the first decades of the eighteenth century, increasing to about forty percent by the end of it and into the nineteenth. (source)
Anyway, it was less likely for the gentry to engage in premarital sex, mostly because the daughters would be better protected, but it must have happened because why else would a woman be perceived as damaged goods if her engagement was broken? Yes, it could be because of her personality, but people are likely also wondering if she crossed that line.
Something else to consider is that engagements were pretty much guaranteed to lead to marriage except in rare cases (in the gentry, which is the class that Austen writes about). Premarital sex in the period between proposal and marriage would probably be seen as less dangerous because of that.
The Regency was also a more permissive era before the crack down of the Victorians, a common trend in history. So that is also a factor.
But yeah, this question can't really be answered because no one was writing down in their diary: "Met with my fiance today, gave him a hand-job and got some cum on my muslin gown. We agreed to remember to bring a bigger handkerchief next time." Except Anne Lister but you know, she wasn't exactly engaged.
I just finished posting my Summer Bang fic, One Last Hurrah (28k, M), so if you don't do WIPs, then this is ready-to-read.
It's a human AU, about Aziraphale having "one last hurrah" - a solo holiday in Valencia, before he starts a new job. Crowley is a tour guide. Cue a Shirley Valentine-esque holiday fling (but with a happy ending).
I got matched with traditional artist @alwaystuesday for this Bang, which meant the fic includes this amazing watercolour pencil picture of Crowley waking up in a Spanish hotel. Always Tuesday was incredibly kind enough to send me the original!! But you can actually buy the print here.
This is part of the @gosummerbang collection, have a look at the other fics and art with a summer theme on AO3
So here is my first official Good Omens season 3 fix-it. What if Aziraphale had spoken his mind when Crowley asked this awful question?
This started as a Guess the Author Fic for the Alternative Rendezvous server prompt âsecondâ and it evolved into a 3,500 word fix-it of seasons 2 and 3.
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
(TW for directly quoting the decision scene of the finale in all Itâs suicidal weirdness, but rest assured it is undone)
Since I run out of lines, there is no option for - he would not be interested in sex. Sorry.
Obviously all these options imply the correspondent one for Crowley. Although I understand things can easily be much more complicated than that.
And of course, a couple can enjoy a D/s dynamic without a sexual relationship at all, as well as only include in the occasional scene to living the dynamic 24/7.
All of these nuances are too much for a Tumblr poll but I would still like to see what you prefer to read/write/create/HC etc.
If you go with multiple HCs, pick one that you feel you like most today? Or most of the time?

A Proper Apology by @roughwinds
âI did the âI was wrongâ dance,â Aziraphale reminds him, ticking the years off on his fingers, âin 1650, in 1793, 1941ââ
âI remember,â Crowley cuts in, with a hint of a smirk Aziraphale hears in his voice more than identifies in his expression. âButâŚâ
And he strings this part out, dangles the word over the edge of itself until Aziraphale has no choice but to hang off of it.
âI said no.â
Ah. He wants to play this game.
love the âi was wrongâ dance? hate it? either way, this fic is for you. with no dancing required, aziraphale and crowley find a way to make amends. ohhhh the love in this one. the characterization is absolutely sublime and the playful banter is as much of a treat as the happy ending.
Severinâ (Speak So Slightly) by @hakunahistata
âGonna tie me up, are you?â Crowley smirked from behind the rim of his glass. âTruss me up like a Christmas turkey?â
âOh, I am going to do so much more than that.â
Aziraphale crossed his legs, sitting back in his chair, and grinned.
âMy dear, I am going to undo you.â
*
Aziraphale and Crowley try something new.
a beautiful tribute to shibari. and despite being an 8k one-shot, it reads like a long fic. this human au starts with a just-established relationship, but it feels like youâve been along for the ride the whole time the way the (incredibly loving) dynamic instantly feels familiar. remarkably soothing read, and clearly written with so much care. i cannot overemphasis the love and tenderness. i would read 100k of these two in one sitting. made me feel warm in every way.
Akrasia by @depraveddame
Professors Anthony Crowley and Aziraphale Fell do not like each other.
They despise one another.
In fact, most would more than likely describe them as being mortal enemies if nothing else.
Rivals in their field of Philosophy at a prestigious university, they clash in nearly every sense of the word, doing their absolute best to either 1) go out of their way to metaphorically rip the each other to shreds, or 2) aggressively and/or spitefully avoid the other.
Most of the time.
the first in a series of ficlets, this story gives us an enemies to lovers professors au. what starts as a rough release of tension slowly transforms into something more. the povs are well balanced, the prose is gorgeous, and the dynamic is incredibly compelling; you will not want to stop at part 1.
