Fandom: Good Omens Pairing: Crowley/Aziraphale Rating: Explicit Length: 15,860 words Status: Complete

Preview: 

Crowley darted out his tongue for a better whiff. He tasted waxy greenery on a soap-fresh breeze. Smooth minerals like wet virgin soil after the rain. Delicate purple blooms, so pale they were almost white. He suppressed an urge to hiss while he filed through his internal encyclopedia. 

Couldn’t be natural, not with that sillage. Not strong enough for the standard aldehydes either. No back-end hints of iso-E or Romandolide or even Tetrahydrolinalol—

“Not genuine lilac. Can’t be. S’impossible.” 

Aziraphale blinked dazedly, turning his attention to Crowley. 

Challenged by such soft scrutiny, Crowley felt his face heating. He tried to hide behind his coffee, but clumsily huffed a noseful of whole-fat instead. With a jolt, he looked down at the traitorous beverage and realized he was inexplicably holding a flat white… with micro-foam.

“Our orders got flipped,” mumbled Crowley, wiping his tortured nose with the back of his hand. 

“Nonsense,” said Aziraphale. He sampled the bitterness in his own cup with a savvy not-quite-grin.  “I think you got exactly what you wanted.”

Well then. Crowley inhaled another surprise dose of crema, feeling sticky all over. 

Primly, Aziraphale set down his cup. The squared-off ceramic clinked with a flat, modern chord that sounded through Crowley’s head like a gong. 

“You know my dear, I’ve thought it over. I think I would like to take you up on that offer.”

Crowley hnnnged; a huge milky bubble popped behind his teeth. Clearing his throat, he said, oh-so-casually,* “What offer was that?”

“The tour of the shops.” Aziraphale flattened his hand across his vest, finger catching on his watch chain. “You’re quite right. It’s well past time for a new suit.”

Good Omens God

Hey, so I really, REALLY like the fact that God is played by a woman. It touched me in my soul.

But I’m just wondering if any non-binary/gender-nonconforming/othergender People out there are using they or other pronouns for God. Because it has been stated several times by Neil Gaiman that literally none of the demons or angels (though some of the Horse-peeps have genders because they represent stereotypes I think) have genders, they just end up using whatever pronouns they feel fit.

I just keep seeing posts ‘Herself’ etc. and I’m wondering.

More Than Just Male and Female: The Six Genders in Classical Judaism

It's very easy to assume that Judaism is an exclusively gender-binary religion. But, when we look to our texts, we can see that this is wholly inaccurate.

I want more ineffable gender fiction referencing the Talmud.

Anyone else feel like S2 Crowley added a whole new quadrant of universal nebula to their gender/sexuality exploration journey?

Ineffable Shibari Full n s f w -ish image on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/GoodOmensKinkMeme/works/21636037 Long post! This is a racy drawing I’m linking to here and i was reeeeaaal nervous about posting it. I’m old as fuck and the last time i was in a howyousay ‘fandom’, the internet had just been born so it was all text-only email chains. But you know - over the years I heard tell of flame wars and ship battles. So when i fell down the Ineffable Rabbit Hole six months ago, i was nervous. I thought I’d play it safe, dip a toe in, post the cute stuff. But my lurking in the comments uncovered no dissing, no shaming or calling out. Instead, a community of the most talented, generous, inclusive bunch of creators you could ever dream of. Thank you all for being so fucking inspirational. With your *gorgeous* work obviously, but also your inclusivity, your cheerleading, your #dtiys, your fucking brilliant bright spirit that shines through your art or your words. I’m so grateful to be here, I’m only just at the edges, but i can tell this party is big enough for us all ❤ . [I’m both too shy and too busy to write personalized mash notes to all my favourite creators, regardless of my perpetual resolutions. So consider the words above to be my sappy ‘holiday card’ for @gingerhaole @pinkpiggy93 @scaramacaisstuff @whiteleyfoster @goosetooths @narcoslug @drawlight @kowbojki @khiroptera @icestorming @cliopadra and so many others. If i ever finish the autobio comic im picking away at about all this (working title, “Neil Gaiman Saved My Sex Life”) I’ll pour one out for you xoxo] . .
