Good Omens fanfic recs that ease the pain. (All complete, canon-compliant)

I am an avid reader and I’ve been combing the floods of new (awesome) things hitting Archive and similar to find what best eases the pain of That Episode. Here’s the best canon-compliant and complete ones that give some soothing to the angst of our angel and demon parting:

**This was a hard decision but I am excluding works in progress since they need time to mature—all these are complete /compliant and can be invested in without fear.**

Jesus, Etc.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

This one had me howling.  Crowley runs into a frantic Aziraphale with Jesus at a Barbenheimer premiere who he is frantically keeping busy to prevent the Second Coming.  A battle of the wills with pop songs in the Bentley, Taylor Swift, Kenergy, sushi, a nativity play and a magic show are the least of the insanity that comes next.  (Kudos for the awesome cameo from Mrs. Sandwich.)

To the Universe

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

This one is a 22-chapter, complete, canon-compliant season 3 full arc that can take the edge off for everyone who is internally screaming that we have years to wait to see all this resolve.  Really can’t say enough about this one.  It tied up every loose end.  Certain parts reminded me of Pratchett and the ending had me on the edge of my chair and cheering out loud.  (bonus extra in a hilarious treatment of Jesus in Tadfield that has him turning himself into a teen named Dave.) This could have been season 3 in another timeline.

Separate Ways

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A sweet, short little one where Aziraphale has Muriel checking up on a devastated Crowley from the bookshop, and they finally at least talk.  No resolution, but it felt so nice to read. 

The Second Coming

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

One-shot (but around 7000 words in chapter format) that is canon-compliant.  Aziraphale “awakens” in the elevator (think ox ribs but sexually) and yeets himself back to earth to roger Crowley six ways from Sunday.  Smutty, so don’t read this one aloud to your parents.  (naked apology dance reference in here made my eyes fall out.)

Heaven is not fit to house a love

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A sweet little one with a *small* deviation from canon (that seemed ok because they have a good point.) Crowley had never told Aziraphale about the way the angels managed his trial OR about what he saw in the Heavenly files with Muriel.  He jams his way into the elevator (telling the Metatron to get the next one) and tells him.

Not for all my Little Words

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

An adorable one where Aziraphale, realizing he screwed up, chases Crowley through loudspeakers and other people’s phones through Europe using famous love quotes until he gets his attention (and some forgiveness.)

Everywhere

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Oh so lovely! A longer one-shot where Azi realizes that management is not what he cracked it up to be (they tell him nothing.) So he saves Crowley instead from a Heavenly asassination attempt. (Maggie, nina and anathema help!)

A Proper Apology

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

One where the Angel simply calls over and over until they really talk.  (Or imagine the idiots simply just used the phone.)

Cause you like me too much and I like you

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A sweet little one where Aziraphale quietly resigns, has a chat with Gabriel and Beez in the bookshop, and does the apology dance.

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A sweet little daydream Azi has in the elevator about apologizing to Crowley in the Ressurectionist pub  before waking up and realizing oh crap he is still in Heaven.

Did I miss any other good ones?  Tell me?

unhinged ask: you get to save your favourite celebrity’s life. who & how

The year is 2083. I am finally able to afford a supernatural convention. The NDAs have expired. I ask misha a finale question. He smiles. I see the dot. The sniper has found him. I shout and he ducks. The sniper finds me. My dying request is for the tapes to be released.

[ineffableclassics]

The Metatron brings in the demon Crowley to stand trial in Heaven. For tempting an angel. Uhhhh. Awkward.

my prediction is they’re gonna be on the VERGE of kissing and then it’ll cut to a [banging on the inside of a coffin noises] scene

we used to dream of times like these

what’s your favourite oscar wilde quote

I've been thinking on your lovely ask all week, funny enough. I'd love to be the sort of person who just knows quotes off the top of their head, but unfortunately I'm much more of paraphrasing person

Still, the one that I keep coming back to is "The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame." from the Picture of Dorian Gray. Obviously, any quote taken out of its original context is doomed to be misinterpreted (looking at most Jane Austen quotes-), but I appreciate the second life this quote has taken on in response to book banning

September has a week dedicated to the issue of books being banned, and October is Banned Books Month. Because of my work in a library, fall has become the dedicated time when we all raise awareness about the trouble of book banning. One of the things we did this year was wrap all of our books for the display with descriptions of why they were challenged/banned and then decorated the display with bookmarks that had quotes on the issue of book banning on them. This quote, of course, was one of them

Tied-Up

The rope of the lasso grazed over Dean’s palm, a familiar sensation now sending a shiver down Dean’s spine; his breath catching in his throat.

Cas’ lips brushed against Dean’s neck, a hand ghosting over the handprint on Dean’s shoulder as the angel guided him down against the mattress. A low chuckle rumbled from above him, and Dean’s eyes fluttered closed in anticipation as Cas tugged on the lasso, tying Dean’s hands above his head.

“I told you I’d tie you up with that rope of yours if you tried to lasso me again,” Cas teased, kissing a trail of open-mouthed kisses down Dean’s arms and hovering just out of reach.

Goosebumps raced across Dean’s skin and he arched up into Cas’ touch, remembering Cas’ delicious threat when Dean had teasingly chased his husband around the ranch, attempting to lasso Cas and pull him into a kiss.

Pulling on his restraints, Dean groaned. “Well, you’ve got me tied-up. Now what?”

“This,” Cas growled, leaning down and capturing Dean’s lips in a breathtakingly filthy kiss as his hands roamed over Dean’s body.
