For the July prompts: 23 or 39 for Good Omens Thank you! <3
Thank you!!! And FYI, gonna do 23 as well! 💖
39. Show me your thorns, and I’ll show you hands ready to bleed. (Good Omens, S3 AU) (Aziraphale/Crowley)
There was more to Crowley's choice of sleeping in an alley and drinking himself into oblivion every night than anyone on Whickber Street suspected, and it went deeper than simply having his miracle account suspended. (A thing Aziraphale was quite convinced wasn't actually A Thing.) But if Crowley wasn't willing to let bygones be bygones, and Aziraphale really couldn't blame him for that, then Aziraphale wasn't willing to let his best friend suffer alone anymore.
He just had to wait until Crowley succumbed to unconsciousness again. Then Aziraphale brought him to the bookshop.
Laying him on the sofa, he ventured to brush the filthy red hair from his forehead, but left his sunglasses well enough alone. That was a barrier too far for him to remove without Crowley's permission.
When his fingers touched the demon's forehead, he knew what had happened. He was the Supreme Archangel of all Heaven, which meant he also had dominion over all the angels in Heaven. That authority didn't extend to Hell, but angels and demons were still from the same parent stock, and his ethereal nature was not so dissimilar from Crowley's occult one that he couldn't sense what Hell was doing to his friend.
When Crowley woke, it was to Aziraphale's hand on his forehead. "What," he said, quiet and seething, "are you doing?"
"I'm trying to help. Obviously."
Crowley pushed his hand away. "You helping is worse."
"I'm not letting you go through this alone," said Aziraphale. "Not anymore."
"There's nothing you can do," Crowley snarled. "Haven't you bloody well done enough?"
"I can stay."
"And do what? You can't protect me. 'S all in my head. And you don't want to go in there."
"I've been there before."
"We swapped bodies, not brains. Not the same thing. And that was before..."
"Before you irritated the new Grand Duke of Hell. Before Shax decided that if she couldn't drag you back to hell physically, she'd do it mentally. Every time you fall asleep."
"I do not," said Crowley, emphasizing every possible letter, "want. Your. Help. You came to find Jesus, well, go find 'im! Without me," he added, unnecessarily.
"There's no point in looking for Jesus while you're in this state," Aziraphale said. "I wouldn't be able to concentrate on the search."
"Oh, for--save your pity, angel. You can't fix this."
"I can try. And I refuse to leave you alone again."
Crowley snorted. "And what'd'you propose to do? Follow me into my nightmares and smite all the denizens of Hell with your holy wrath?"
Aziraphale just looked at him.
"Oh, y--you're serious. Angel, no, I can't, I refuse to let you--"
"Not alone," Aziraphale said. He rose and loomed over Crowley, and the shadows behind him looked like wings. Crowley had never felt so small, not in eons, nor so forcefully protected. "Never again."
Then he stooped and gathered Crowley into his arms and held him tight. "Forgive me," he murmured roughly into Crowley's hair. "Not right now. But someday."
"Demon," Crowley retorted, sunglasses digging into Aziraphale's neck. All of his limbs were wrapped around the angel's torso. "Can't forgive." Tears trickled from beneath the lenses and dripped down Aziraphale's collar.
So I’ve been getting back into making comics again but I’m super rusty. Currently drawing out a scene that inspires me from offensiveagentpie’s fic When I See You Smile
Anyway, if people wanna send fic recs my way, I’m looking for more things to read and more scenes to draw for practice! Thanks!
Just need you to know I'm enjoying your Five comic!!! I'm beyond thrilled you've shared it here on Tumblr. The art is amazing and I love the story line. Your rendering of Sakumo and little Kakashi makes my heart do tiny flippy things. I wish you continued inspiration and again, I thank you.
*incoherent noises of joy*
I had a kind of exhausting morning today at school (I stupidly put 3 really difficult classes back-to-back for 5 mind-crippling hours, these being Pediatrics+Gynecology, Neurology, and Pathology – rip me on tuesdays and fridays) but I came home for lunch and I just read these and my heart soared. Ya’ll are the bestest <3
I hope I can continue to produce entertaining and engaging content!! :D I really want to get to these panels soon (ÒwÓ)9
I have to blame @theexperimentingdetective for this one: Benny and Andrea found each other in Purgatory and are together again, fighting monsters and just being in love.
16. what is ur favourite ridiculous au?
Again, Courtesy of @theexperimentingdetective, Team Free What the F**K: Dean Smith, Soulless Sam and Endverse Cas, along with alternate weird versions of other characters out of the SPN Canon (I remember "FEELINGS!” Crowley was one of them)
Okay, so the tags on the mutual pining post have me curious, what was that fic?
I don’t think I bookmarked it unfortunately, but it was a Kaoru/Kojiro fic from SK8 The Infinity. That pairing in general is some tasty, tasty lifelong friends to lovers material.
