Something unexpected is happening with the 141 bunny. They're talking to someone. Someone they really like. The pack is suddenly struck with a realization that maybe they don't just like having a caregiver around. Maybe they want a new pack member.
"You're in a good mood." Kyle teases when you finish setting his plate down at the dinner table. "Got some new recipe ideas?"
"No, actually, I have a date this weekend." If your back hadn't been turned to the table, you would've seen how tense they suddenly became.
"A date?" John presses, forcing himself to settle down when you turn back around with a bowl of bread rolls. "With?"
"A very nice bunny I met at the store the other day. Also asexual, can you believe it?" Your tail wags excitedly, which makes Simon's chest pang angrily. Why was he angry? You were a free agent. You worked with and for them, but you weren't with them.
"How do you know?" He tries to keep his tone even, but Johnny gives him the look from the corner of his eye. He wasn't holding back his jealousy well.
"Looked them up on their socials. Vetted them with Kate, too, so I know they're safe." You explain, but your tone is a little clipped now. You were picking up on the tense energy rolling through your pack. "I hope that's okay with everyone."
"Be safe, Bonnie. If you aren't home by midnight, I'll send a search party." Johnny teases as he nudges your foot under the table. You smile a little little that, turning your attention to your plate.
Kyle shares a look with John, his ears pinning when his captain shakes his head no. He doesn't want to, but he listens, and takes two bread rolls from the bowl.
"Are we just not going to say anything!?" Kyle's desperate voice cracks through the silence of the humvee.
"Say what, Kyle? Y/N is planning their third date with this bunny -"
"Carmen." Johnny interrupts, making Simon snarl at him.
"We aren't getting involved." He finishes, giving Kyle a stern look.
"We should! Before they get serious and we lose our chance!" Kyle felt his chest aching at the idea, wondering what it would be like to not have you on base. You would still work with them, but maybe you would move in with this new love. What would happen when Simon had nightmares, or when he need to check on you?
"You think a relationship between us would work? We aren't like them, Kyle. We would only make them uncomfortable." John grips the steering wheel tight as he drives.
"We should let them decide that. It's not right to take their choice away." Kyle could tell Simon was close to snapping at him, but he couldn't stop pressing the issue. He couldn't risk losing the one thing that wasn't his pack that brought him joy. He wanted you to stay, to be a part of them forever.
"Kyle." Simon's sharp voice cuts him out of his thoughts. "We all want the same thing. We love Y/N, just like you." He explains, his tone slowly softening as he shifts closer to Kyle. "We could make them uncomfortable."
"We could make them our pack.." His voice cracks slightly as he nuzzles against Simon's docked ear.
"You're not going to let this go, are you?" John mutters angrily, but there's an underlying fondness to his tone. Kyle lets out a soft whine, his appeal to John's instincts that always won. "We'll talk to them tomorrow. Let's get some rest first."
When the run was finished, you could tell Johnny and Simon were still full of energy. "What's been going on with you guys?" You huff as you chug down the rest of your water. "Something I should know? An operation?"
"No." Simon leans onto your side slightly, rumbling when you stroke behind his ears. "Just need to talk to you about something, love." He murmurs quietly, glancing up at your softly twitching nose.
"Mm, figured. Has something to do with Carmen?" You suggest quietly, looking over at Johnny. He was great at his job, but when he wasn't deployed, his face constantly gave him away. "Thought so. Are you guys trying to dig something up about them?"
"We aren't... We just didn't realize until you started dating someone that we don't just want you here to work with us." Johnny nuzzles your ear softly, averting his gaze when he speaks. You stay silent, a small indignant rage stewing in your chest. You didn't dislike the idea. It was something you'd occasionally allow yourself to wonder about when they were all away on deployed.
But now that you found someone on your own, someone outside of them... Now they realized how they felt? You keep scratching behind Simon's ears as you think, nose twitching a little faster.
"Say something. Please." Simon props his chin on your shoulder now, breathing you in softly like he was worried he would lose you.
"I'm thinking." You give him a slight smile, a reassuring one that settles his anxiously wagging tail. "I've thought about it before. Us together." The idea settles comfortably in your chest, not stirring the usual anxiety as before. The fear you would be overstepping an already well established dynamic. "Would it really change anything? About us and how we work?"
"We would be able to kiss you now." Simon's eyes dart back down to your lips, leaning into a particularly good scratch to his scalp. "We could call you ours. No one else's." Johnny lets out a happy chuff at that, rumbling happily when you let out a little chuckle.
"I assume you all talked about this. Did you have something big planned?" You tease, though you know your boys. They aren't very good at theatrics.
"John is going to order in dinner tonight. So we can have a nice meal and talk." Johnny's body starts to relax, the pent-up energy finally falling off. "Should we tell him that we talked?"
"If he and Kyle are as anxious as you two, yes. We should tell him now." You shift around, signaling to the lounging wolves they needed to get up from the floor. Simon grumbles in annoyance, but it's cut short with a small peck to his lips. Your lips. His tail wags immediately, climbing easily to his feet to follow you back into base.
"Oi, nor fair! Where's my good boy kiss!" Johnny huffs as he chases after you, jogging in circles around you as you walk. You've already created a monster...
If you aren't on the tag list, I'm sorry :'[ I haven't updated it in a while so please leave a comment down below and I will try to add you right away <3 this is also for the anon that asked if I would continue the series at some point. That was low key the motivation I needed so thank you bby
In light of recent events (or not so recent by the time this makes the queue 😅😅) could you all recommend some of your favorite Trans and/or Aspec omens fics?
I know we can search the tags (and everyone should!!) but what are some of y'all's favorites?
I have been looking for an excuse, nonny, so thank you for providing one. We support any and all headcanons and representations of Good Omens characters and their relationships. Please know you can request and recommend any kind of fics you want <3
We have a plentiful amount of fics on our #trans aziraphale, #trans crowley, #asexual, and #asexual relationship tags. But here are some of my personal favourites...
The first four have both trans and asexual characters, the latter two have one or the other...
All Hallow’s Eve by lalaland666 (G)
As it turned out, the reality of a Hallowe’en party for the university staff was even worse than the idea of one, and in all honesty, Aziraphale was just counting down the minutes until he could leave.
"Well, this is going down like a lead balloon," a voice said from beside him.
The Art of Human Nature by IneffableDoll (T)
Crowley is a painter who has only ever had an eye for nature. That is, until a client named Aziraphale commissions her for a painting to boost her self-confidence, and Crowley discovers that her client is as beautiful as the Earth itself.
Then she goes and catches feelings, because she’s a disaster.
If Not Now, When by ineffablefool (T)
Anthony Crowley has learned by now that anything that makes him happy will be temporary at best. His quietly desperate routine is challenged when he happens to strike up a conversation with a customer at work, and he starts realizing three things, in this order: 1. oh huh this Aziraphale guy is actually interesting; 2. he can't stop embarrassing himself by accidentally flirting with him; and 3. oh no this Aziraphale guy is actually extremely attractive what do I do.
Lavender, Chamomile, and a Rather Permanent Arrangement by southdownsraph (M)
Crowley owns the flower shop across the street from A. Z. Fell's tattoo shop, and can't help but be intrigued by the slightly eccentric, yet incredibly friendly tattoo artist. When Crowley does finally pluck up the courage to talk to him beyond the occasional pleasantries, he kicks off the beginning of a friendship that could so easily drift into something else entirely.
Fine by likeasouffle (E)
Crowley’s gender had changed many times throughout history, and it generally wasn’t a big deal. She’d change her hair and clothing and switch out her genitals, just a couple of quick miracles. But this time her gender had had the audacity to flip right at the moment her relationship with Aziraphale was finally becoming physical, and suddenly she found herself considering his feelings about it, wondering how he’d react.
Aziraphale wanted her handsome, he’d said so himself. He wanted her short-haired and masculine. He was a self-identified pansy with a history of late-night dancing with large groups of men. Crowley decided to stay as she was.
Changing of the Seasons by AppleSeeds (T)
Confined to his bookshop, Aziraphale joins a virtual training session about urban foraging led by botanist and natural wellbeing practitioner Anthony Crowley, and feels some relief from his anxiety for the first time since lockdown began. After that, he watches every video Crowley has posted online, but will he ever get up the courage to actually interact with him? After all, Crowley keeps giving him opportunities to do so...
Perhaps once the lockdown is over, some one-to-one nature-based relaxation therapy might be just what Aziraphale needs?
I hate how in the greater aspec community it’s become acceptable to push for compromise sex in allo-ace relationships. Just because you’re not repulsed doesn’t mean I’m being uncompromising with my boundaries. It hurts more when it comes from other acespecs because if anyone should recognize the harm this rhetoric causes, it should be them.
Is it just me or did anyone else wish Jughead should have been asexual in ‘Riverdale’ but still he with Betty? Honestly I felt like it should have been an asexual relationship because I love Bughead in season 1. They always had each other’s backs and they were so much better together then Betty was with Archie lol. But ‘Riverdale’ missed a big opportunity in having positive asexual representation with Jughead. Like you have all the gay representation in the show but you can’t accurately depict Jughead as ace like wtf?! It would have been so cool to see and it would have been even funnier since Archie and Veronica are such horn dogs and then you would have Jughead who’s just perfectly content with his romantic and emotional connection with Betty and not wanting sex. Too bad that didn’t happen lol
