Ineffable Bastards Universe

A series of Good Omens fanfics by me, Pendragyn on AO3. Works: 11. Total word count as of 17 July 26: 394,198 Complete? Ahahahaha Nope.

So, this was going to be a single short story. Ahahahahahaha. Anyway, apparently I can’t write short stories, so here’s a bunch of (mostly) long-form book-style fanfics.

In The Garden; ~45666 words, 8/8 chs. Meant to be unshared worldbuilding but then it went off the rails. Updated 16 July 2020

There were two angels sent to guard the Garden of Eden. They had never been meant to be friends, those two odd angels that didn’t quite fit in. Their bosses had expected them to be wary of one another, to even be sworn enemies one day; all part of the Great Plan. Perhaps they should have told them that. Or perhaps not.

Serpents and Ladders; ~19k words, 7/7 chs. More worldbuilding, more rails left in the dust. Updated 02 Dec 2019

The Garden of Eden is gone and Aziraphale and Crawly have been sent back to heaven and warned to forget they even met. Oddly enough, they do not listen.

Ask Not For Whom The Bell Tolls; ~9k words. 2/2 chs. I gave myself feels and it hurts. Updated 02 Nov 2019

It all comes back to the church in 1941, and what happened and almost happened and thankfully didn’t happen after the church.

The Key; 3666 words. A stray writing prompt helps me get back on track. Posted 16 May 2021

it's 1981 and Crowley has decided to purchase a flat, but the snobby agent won't approve the application without a character reference. Who else can they call on but Aziraphale?

Stacking The Deck; ~1800 words. The world is building itself at this point. Posted 22 Sept 2019

We got to see the shuffle, but someone else decided to stack the deck. (This is a story about Harriet Dowling because moms deserve good stories too.)

Nature vs Nurture; ~29k words, 8/? chs. I think it’s pretty clear where this went in regards to worldbuilding and rails. Updated 29 Feb 2020 - updates (still) in the works

It’s all in the upbringing. But what do an angel or a demon really know about raising a (mostly) human child?

Setting Things To Rights; 2666 words. Saw a prompt on tumblr that was too spot on to not write it. Posted 22 June 2020

The night after the almost apocalypse, Adam Young gets a visit from the ghost of Agnes Nutter, and she helps him sort out a few worrisome loose ends left over from the world not ending.

The Eyes Are The Windows Of The Soul; 1443 words. Another prompted fic, this one more of the missing Sunday scene. Posted 23 May 2021

Crowley-as-Aziraphale's and Aziraphale-as-Crowley's time waiting to meet themselves in the park. 666 words for Crowley, 777 words for Aziraphale ;}

∞ Ineffable Bastards; 278k words, 42/?? chs. An ongoing opus with a lot of worldbuilding. (youdontsay.jpg) Rails highly ineffective. Send help. Ch 42 revision complete as of 17 July 2026

The world didn’t end, but everything changed, and the reformed angel and the former demon decide to forge a new path together after breaking free, and neither hell nor holy water is going to stop them now. They have their own side to look out for, and it’s a lot bigger than just the two of them. Which is good because you can’t fight heaven and hell alone. (Well you can try, but…) Along the way they make an arrangement of mutual trust with some witches and wizards and end up saving the world, and each other, again.

Wilde Card; 2666 words, a true demonic miracle. 2/2 ch. Updated 11 Nov 2019

So I had an idea about why Aziraphale had a complete set of Oscar Wilde writings. And how they had probably left a trail of infatuated and disappointed humans in their wake in all those clubs they’d gone to for intellectual stimulation and a good meal and dance lessons.

Apple Of My Eye; 413 words. Complete and utter fluffy sweet silliness inspired by a tumblr post. Posted 02 Feb 2020

Crowley comes across a pair of very novel novelty glasses and just has to show them to Aziraphale. There are a lot of puns.

...Revisions for Ineffable Bastards are DONE because that's my emotional support fanfic, and that will hopefully result in more chapters getting written. Not counting the occasional interruption from stray writing prompts. 💜∞

* I will finish this and it will have a happy ending *

A truthberry might make you tell the truth... But a lieberry? A lieberry will loan you books

you reblogged a post in 2023 about how ask culture (or whatever you call it) on tumblr was dying and it just showed up on my dash so i came to say hi. also have you heard of our lord and savior, aroace ryland grace

hiya!

ah yes, that post lol has it really only been 3 years? feels like a century or more tbh. I'm very torn about it because on one hand I want to be more sociable and outgoing, but on the other hand, people.

Ryland Grace; had no idea who that was and had to look him up. I am neither aro nor ace nor in search of a saving Grace but the rhyming is nice, the phrase really rolls off the tongue.

I have seen people going all out for project hail mary, enough so that I'm pretty sure there's a rock creature or something? and he pack bonds with it because of course he does and presumably they pull off a near impossible save of some sort?

(I'm assuming the title is foreshadowing anyway lol I legit don't know anything about it except what I've learned via osmosis on here)

thanks for the ask 💜

There’s a petition to ban smart glasses in the uk, if you live in the uk please sign!

The government should immediately ban the sale and promotion of glasses that contain recording capability. The government should explore usi

hi this drives me crazy

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.

these are all different words with different meanings.

and a cannon is a large mounted gun, usually on wheels, that uses explosives to fire projectiles.

meanwhile an anon is someone who sends you hate mail because they disagree with your take on canon

The focus will be creating and adding to pages related to fans and fandom of color – characters, communities, events, activism, meta essays, and much more. If you’re passionate about expanding Fanlore’s coverage of this extremely under-served area – so are we! We’d love you to come along and take part. All participants will also earn a fun badge to post to their Fanlore user page!

I like to think there's an Ankh-Morpork show (perhaps a live stage show) that's a combination of Great British Bakeoff and Forged in Fire where they bake dwarf bread and then attack a ballistic dummy with it.
