Good Omens will always be the greatest love story ever told for me ❤️

[simonezitrone79]

Absolutely lovely!

[books-and-omens]

I *adore* their meeting during the Great War though. Adore adore. Desperate Crowley armed with a literal rock, are you kidding me.

A: "Ah, so you didn't actually have a weapon, then, when you threatened me?"

C: "Lost it in the last battle."

A (brightly): "...Hello!"

Dfjkjdfsjkfd hello? HELLO? This is so Aziraphalean I am going to combust. Perfect character. Aziraphale, you've got a sword to your neck. Are you flirting. Are you flirting with the rebel angel? With the fascinating angel you've been surreptitiously watching ever since meeting him?

Crowley immediately collapsing is perfect, too. And Aziraphale helping him without hesitation. "I've spent the war smiting rebel angels, but I've never done this before."

Never before, but so many times since.

They are each other's lifeline, always.

Good Omens is a Transformative Work

It has been since the very beginning.

NG (fuck NG) thought of a book plot where a demon finds himself in The Omen movie. But he screws up the baby switch. And the Antichrist grew up as a character in a Richmal Crompton novel. He didn't know what to do with it next. TP offered to buy the story. He changed the demon into a demon and an angel defying their bosses on the earth they both loved. He added his smart whimsy and gave the story a moral core far beyond a silly spoof. When the story was written, queer kids saw themselves in the angel and demon based on the subtext. Because they lived in subtext. Gender fluid and trans readers created stories about an angel and demon for whom gender was a choice depending on how or whether they decided to make an effort. The strangeness of fitting into a planet dominated by beings the angel and demon differed from spoke to neurodivergent readers.

Religious readers found healing after years of struggling to make sense of doctrine divorced from morality. Some ace and aro readers saw the deep and meaningful relationship beyond romance between a pair together over 6000 years. And tons of horny people from all walks of life poured their hearts into smut that made the most of beings whose bodies allowed for a range of sexual practice that would never be realistic for humans.

People who felt rejected or unloved because they were "too much" or "too little", took solace from an angel who didn't mind the gruffness of the demon who couldn't bear to be cruel. And the demon who liked the angel being a little bit of a bastard. If an angel and demon could care for and accept each other for themselves, perhaps it could happen for them too? This is why the Good Omens fandom is so special. Transformation has been baked into his story from the very beginning. Biblical fan fiction, a collaborative story by two authors, a tv show/movie brought to life by a team of actors, designers, writers... And now also entire worlds of fan fiction and art. Good Omens continues to transform itself and the people who love it. And it will always be ours as we continue to transform it for generations to come.

Crowley and Aziraphale through the years.

[tetrapaec]

I don't think you understand how important this kiss is.

Doing this in front of God too.

They sacrificed their love so that we, humans, could love each other and make decisions. They spent 6000 years teaching each other that humanity is not a toy. They died for us, they love us as much, if not more than they love each other. They are our deities, our creators. They are Love. We are children of Love.

[alex51324]

Yeah, the more I think about it, the clearer it is that this--the part where the earth isn't 6,000 years old (and a Libra), where the dinosaurs aren't God's little joke that humans haven't figured out yet, where there was never a Plan, and never a Fall, just humans being humans in a universe that exists under rules we can learn to understand--is always how it had to end.

If you want to imagine Aziraphale and Crowley still out there somewhere as an angel and a demon--God only said She'd create a universe the way they asked for; She never said it was the only one She'd create. Maybe they're also still in the bookshop, writing their universe back into existence. Maybe She also put everything back how it was, like she first offered, and they're an angel and a demon doing shenanigans on an Earth that's connected to Heaven and Hell by a giant elevator.

If you want that for them, you can make that happen, in your fic or art or your own private imagination. The Good Omens universe doesn't have a God anymore, and your free will is as good as anybody else's.

And in the universe of my free will? It would be an awfully contrived coincidence if, after 18 billion years, Aziraphale and Crowley just happened to reoccur and reunite in our time, and I don't believ ein cheesy coincidences. So it happened a bunch of times.

The first time a proton and a neutron came together to make an atomic nucleus? Them.

When two atoms bumped into each other and stuck to make the first molecule, also them.

First time some hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom found each other and made water? You know that was them.

When bits of space dust started being pulled together by their own gravity, into an accretion disk that eventually compacted into a sphere and became a planet called Earth? They were in there somewhere.

When amino acids did a little dance and somehow ended up making a new thing called life, they were there.

They were probably a few molecules of algae a whole shitload of times, because Earth's algae era was pretty long, but eventually they got to be part of the same colonial organism, and then they got to be plants, and fish, and dinosaurs, and some of those enormous dragonflies they had back in the dinosaur era, and then eventually mammals, and apes, and eventually humans. And they kept finding each other. Not because God planned it that way--although she probably did shove them in there, on the principle of "waste not, want not"--but because the mechanics of the universe allowed it to happen, and so it did.

Aziraphale must be a triangular prism🙌🙌🙌

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.

[starmaker-astral]

Just realized we have the proof Good Omens 3 still follows our real timeline (just like s1 and s2)

The meteor shower Anthony mentions and observes in the final scene is the Eta Aquariids, a meteor shower associated with Halley's Comet and visible in the Aquarius constellation. FYI, they were active from April 19 to May 28 with their peak around May 10 this year

The finale released on May 13, right during the peak

It's these kinds of lovely thoughtful details that makes me love Good Omens and rewatch it over and over again without getting tired of it. It's just perfect

[chapollynh]

'Tis I, a season 3 finale enjoyer! I don't know if I'm on the wrong corner of the fandom or something, but I loved the ending and saw a whole 2 people on my feed saying they liked it. It's far from perfect, don't get me wrong, but omfg I saw some wild posts lmao. Anyway, here's some husband with silly haircurs!

Good Omens Fan Fic Recommendations

June 1, 2026: Travelers' Tales

Happy Pride Month! 

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!

The June Fic Recs

1 Corinthians 13 1-13 by ffinoppop  @ffonippop

Rated: M

Published: February 2024, 21K words, 1/1 chapters

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. 

Adaptive Innovations for a Changing World by amelia_airheart

Rated: E

Published: March 2024, 70K words, 22/22 chapters 

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. 

Buddy Boating by CuriousPupsicle @curiouspupsicle

Rated: M

Published: September 2025, 63.5K words, 21/21 chapters

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 main blog for those who might be seeing this twice. Just so you know.
