Reverse Omens AU: Unusual Strings

Just discovered this fanfic by Ashfae, mostlyjustgoose, and Dervila on AO3. It's amazing, it's wonderful, and I'm so glad that I found it, so now I have to share it with everyone that I am able to. I don't always recommend WIPs that aren't finished, but this one is soooo worth it. Part 1 of the series has 20 chapters completed (out of a projected 23), and even if more chapters are never written (although I hope that they are) it is worth reading just to get to that 20th chapter, which has the absolute best lovemaking scene (also first-time) between Aziraphale and Crowley that I have ever read. It is spectacular. No exaggeration. Go read it, please. Leave comments, Kudos, bookmark the fic (or the series). I don't know why it doesn't have more comments. The series has two parts (so far); the first part has 20 of 23 chapters completed, the second part is an extra scene.

B F and M, if you will! ❤️

EEE THANK U ASHFAE <3

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

Oh goodness yea. So much of my dialogue and interaction is literally things that happen often between me and my husband xD also a lot of the queer longing i put into these fics is rooted very firmly in reality lbr.

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

I'd have to go with this bit from the Youth Pastor/Bad Boy reverse omens au that I've been working on where they're just settling into their burgeoning friendship and go out for pizza:

“But, if I can wax poetic about this ‘basic pepperoni’, you have to try my ridiculous concoction of a pizza.” Gadriel smiled mischievously at him, continuing to finish his slice, “I was already going to do that, but deal.” Ezra took a bite of the pepperoni, enjoying it the same way he had enjoyed his own slice. “The crust still stands, the semolina flour giving a smooth finish while the cornmeal makes for a nice crunch. The inclusion of cheddar-jack along with the mozzarella makes for a lovely combination of sharp and mild that dances along the palate. The pepperonis are perfectly cupped, holding just enough grease to cut through the acidity of the marinara, which given the rustic texture of the tomatoes and the garlic clove I believe must be made in house, rather than purchased and used from a can. Incredible, five stars.” Gadriel chuckled. “I can’t believe you just did that, has anyone told you that you are incredibly pretentious?” “I’m not pretentious, I just know good food when I taste it,” Ezra said with a huff. “I dunno,” Gadriel drawled sarcastically, “I think maybe someone isn’t quite as down to earth as they want everyone to think.” “Says the man who drinks beer for the first time just to look cool?” “Ehh… point taken.”

M: Got any premises on the back burner that you’d care to share?

Oh man there are so many that I have sitting in me and Ouida's server xD. A few that I'm very excited about:

A human au where Crowley is a repressed incel who doesn't realize he's gay and wanders into a queer kink bar by mistake on his way to an alpha male grindset meetup at a different bar and meets leather daddy Aziraphale who gives him a new lease on what being a man is about.

A book canon fic where Aziraphale and Crowley's corporations are damaged to the point where they have to discorporate in a battle back in celtic times, but their bodies are in a ravine and they are slowly decomposing because no one knows they're there and they can't off themselves (obviously no one actually dies, I just want the imagery of bodies decomposing together because I listen to too much Hozier).

Another human au where Crowley works at a truckstop and Aziraphale is the big quiet bear of a trucker who frequents the establishment and Crowley is Big Time Horny for him.

Reverse omens Beauty and the Beast fusion but it's specifically The Tiger's Bride by Angela Carter inspired.

For "The Fic I won’t write game", can I have the Ineffables and the title "Do You Fondue?"

jdsfjsdlfj thank you Ashfae <3

I think anything with food normally leads me to something involving oral fixation, but in this case I can't help but think about where that quote comes from.

So picture this. 1800s. Aziraphale leaving his gentleman's club. Crowley across the street, watching him leave. Now obviously they didn't have fondue in the 1800s, but the premise is essentially the same as the source of the quote in first avenger. Crowley overhears some innocuous plans, given the environment he thinks it's a euphemism because why would he know any better?

So naturally he asks Aziraphale about this, and naturally Aziraphale misses his meaning completely.

Cue shenanigans as the both of them are having very different conversations and thoughts over the course of the next several days (or decades, this is them after all) until they finally figure it out.

9 and 17 for the ask game!

hi Ashfae ilu! <3 <3

9: Are there any fics you'd love to see but don't want to write yourself? What are they?

Oof uhh -*looks at my idea list that's like 49 things long*- xD

But in all seriousness! I'd like to see more Tutors and more of Aziraphale in tropes that normally are reserved for Crowley; I like writing and filling those niches, but I like seeing other people do it too! And more Dagon/Beelzebub, the world needs more of it but I just don't have a lot of ideas for them xD

17: What has been the proudest moment for you since you started writing?

At the risk of sounding very very silly it's actually getting the nerve to post my fics on AO3 at all. I have been writing for a very long time (since 7th grade! that was 2 decades ago oh god I'm old) but I never posted any of it anywhere. And Good Omens wasn't what I started with on AO3, it's my still-unfinished rewrite of the storyline for Fallout 4 that I still think I want to get back to someday. But just signing up for AO3 was a lot and then posting my words out there to be seen by others was a LOT. I'm a highly anxious person by default, and my RSD is off the charts on my best days, and for me at that time it was a very scary thing to do xD

Thank u for asking me T-T ilu my friend! <3 <3

32 and 34? <3

yayyyyyy okay 

32: Summarize a random fic of yours in 10 words or less 

“Local writer not over deaths of loved ones, is coping” 

34: Post an excerpt you’re particularly proud of

“Why should he leave? Why on earth would he chose to live among those people again, who would not lift a finger to help the suffering of a stranger?

But there is a new guard, now. And while most of the rest were kind in their own way, have provided such comforts as to have decimated the city of Neveah down to the very last brick if any of the garbage the city was founded on were true (combs for his hair, extra water for washing, fabric for his clothes, needles and thread, pots and seeds and dirt for the plants, conversation) it was easy for them to do so, once they understood that he was not an ‘it,’ that he was not an other, once they knew him. But none of them shared their lunch. None of them read to him.

None of them were in trouble for defying the city’s edicts, for providing aid and comfort to strangers outside the city walls, none of them had compassion for people they had never met.

None of them truly had mercy.

The new guard has done all these things, has all these things.

And, for the first time, as Crowley licks away the last of the sauce from the hollow of an oyster shell, he wonders what would happen if he should come out.

For the first time in decades, he wants to.”

Since you'd already done 7 (whoops, sorry!), 12 please? :)

oh you’re so sweet! yes how dare you not psychically know what someone else had already put in my inbox ;)

12 - what headcanon will you keep implementing in your fics, even if canon ends up contradicting it?

look canon and i... we know each other well enough to say hello to, but id not have her over for dinner, you know? we’re not close, is what im saying. so “even if canon ends up contradicting it” pffftt i barely listen to the canon we already have, im not going to change my mind on anything just bc it changes lol

there are a few particular headcanons that you can pry from my cold dead hands though, namely: aziraphale loves selfies; both he and crowley have had just... just *so* many pets over the millennia and they still know all their names; they both absolutely still smoke, especially if theyve been drinking, just aziraphale looks a bit sheepish about it at first; they’re fucking terrible at pub quizzes; they’ve smooched too many times over years to count.
