Good Omens Fic Rec: You're Just a Little Under Rehearsed
Drama teacher Crowley loves directing the Tadfield Community Players' shows—interacting with the rest of the staff at the community center, not so much. So when he meets the new accompanist for this year's musical, he's shocked to find that he might actually like him. Possibly more than like, if he's being honest. Aziraphale is fresh from leaving a long career as a church pianist, and hoping that a new job will get him out of the lonely rut he's found himself in. The attention and kindness of the flashy community theater director are unexpected, but not unwelcome. Far from it. But with a community theater to run, a show to put on, and a disgruntled R.P. Tyler looking for any excuse to get rid of Crowley and his theater program, will they be able to make a relationship work? And, more importantly, can they make sure the show still goes on?

*Minor Spoilers* I read this in the afternoon, on the couch, with a big blanket and what a great way that was to enjoy this story! This is a human au where Crowley is the director of the Tadfield community theatre, and Aziraphale is this year's music accompanist.
Now I may be biased because I did community theatre for 7 summers as a kid, and this perfectly captures the gentle chaos of this kind of production. I love Crowley's passion for theatre and everyone in his community. This is for everyone who loves a softie Crowley. All the side characters you know and love will appear, and are used very well.
It is a very chaste story, there is romance, but this is much more interested in telling us about the production itself and how that's going. Overall this is the story you want when you want the warm fuzzies, or if you were also a theatre kid. It's full of the love that a community can bring. The big family they've all found in each other. It brought back so many fond memories for me!
