In honor of all the warm, fuzzy feelings I've been getting lately from the coverage of the Artemis II mission and Project Hail Mary, I'm going to shamelessly plug one of my old Good Omens fanfics that focuses on a space mission.

Terminus

Also available in audio format as [Podfic] Terminus, read by the wonderful @literarion.

When reluctant astronaut Aziraphale Fell finds himself in need of assistance, the last thing he expects is to develop feelings for the mission controller who answers his call; the charming, foul-mouthed Anthony Crowley. As they work to get Aziraphale home, they find themselves inexplicably drawn to each other. Unfortunately, Crowley has reason to believe the powers that be don’t want Guardian One and its sole occupant to survive the journey.

Long ago, Princess Persephone Silverlight was cursed by an evil witch to die on her sixteenth birthday. For her safety, the King & Queen sent their baby girl to the tiny hamlet of Hawke’s Keep to be guarded by a peasant family. Fifteen years have passed, and not a soul in the kingdom remembers Princess Persephone, but Percy is known throughout Hawke’s keep for her quick-wit, kind heart, and immense beauty. Political unrest has left the kingdom in shambles and the people starving. With her throne under threat from treacherous usurper Lord Henry, Persephone decides she must break her curse and claim her rightful place as heir. Accompanied by self-proclaimed squire J.B. the Brave, and her trusty songbirds, Persephone must journey through the dark forest, crossing the veil of shadows to find the legendary waters of Nyx, said to lift any enchantment, before her time runs out.

A high fantasy AU based on Nancy & Jonathan's DnD characters from Stranger Things: Dungeons & Dragons: Tales from the Table

*Minor Spoilers* In this story, Aziraphale and Crowley are exes who broke up eleven years ago (due to a misunderstanding) but of course they've never actually moved on. Now they’re forced to confront each other at the wedding of Anathema and Newt. A whole weekend of drama, hilarity, and bribing wedding staff awaits!

This story is a delight and everything you’d want in a rom-com. It's fun, romantic, and makes your heart smile. Aziraphale and Crowley’s chemistry is of course top tier. They both burn so bright, and are so damn stubborn! The side characters are hilarious scene-stealers, and the Them as the wedding staffers was one of my favorite parts. I couldn't get enough, they were so much fun to see popping up. Also shout out to Warlock inclusion, I love to see a Warlock!

It’s funny, light, and perfect for a read on the go. It's completely safe in public, but know that you'll have one of those dopey smiles on your face if you do decide to read this around others.

I've been seeing Factory Settings pop up on a bunch of Good Omens fic rec lists lately, so I thought I'd offer up a fic of my own that has similar vibes:

Unfallen

I wrote and posted Unfallen before season 2 released so it doesn't include elements of the book of life, but it does center around Crowley being restored as the archangel Raphael without any of his memories of falling and all of the ways that complicates his 6000 year long situationship with Aziraphale (among other things).

[emotional-support-demon-crowley]

I'm still processing my feelings on the Good Omens finale.

For anyone who would like an ending with no expiration date, I'd like to recommend an old fic of mine.

Unfallen

Set as the first apocalypse is nearly upon them, when Heaven realizes they're missing a very important archangle who is fated to signal the start of the end times. When Crowley is less than willing to be returned to his former angelic glory to fill the role, the archangels take his memories of the fall and everything after.

Needless to say, it doesn't go well. Fortunately for everyone involved, the newly restored archangel seems to tolerate the presence of one specific principality. Which is how Aziraphale is put in charge of ensuring the reinstated Raphael is ready to do his duty when the time comes.

I wanted to force Aziraphale to approach the threat of an apacolypse with the fear that he might have already lost the most important relationship in his life and how that might impact the choices he makes.

And I wanted Crowley to wrestle with what it might mean if he was finally Aziraphale's first choice, but he had become an angel for it to happen.

Then, I needed them to talk through those issues and use their words to finally get on the same page for once.

I also wanted an ending where they had a chance to be an us for even longer than they were forced to go along with their respective sides as far as they could. And I wanted them to be able to rest in their happiness without fear of above or below rising up against them.

It's the type of ending I dearly wish, with all of my aching heart, that we had gotten.

[emotional-support-demon-crowley]

I have officially posted more than two hundred thousands words of Good Omens fan fiction. I'm finally becoming the story teller I always longed to be. And this is only the beginning.

My younger self would be so proud and excited for me.

Based on the sudden uptick of wonderful comments and kudos, someone somewhere has done me a kindness and recommended 'Terminus'. And apparently, they endorsed the hell out of it.

Since it doesn't appear to have been done on this hellsite, I'll just have to shout my thanks into the void and hope good karma finds the beautiful soul who led others back to my story.

Sometimes, people you'll never meet still manage to make your day better - both the recommender and the lovely readers who took their advice. And that's beautiful.
