A challenge:

Pick one useful skill (first aid, wilderness survival, weapon handling, sewing, learning a language, foraging, evading security cameras, etc.) and memorize how to do one small part of it per week, or as frequently as you want.

If each person gains one new skill or learns how to do one more thing, we will all be more prepared as a society to fight back and help each other through this time.

We can stand up against them together.

Good Omens Fanfic Recs - Trope #4: Dystopia AUs

Dystopias -- the kind where society has broken down and you need to break into an abandoned Walmart to survive. The vibe is: The Road, Station Eleven, Parable of the Sower, Handmaid’s Tale. Less: angels, demons, heaven, hell. More: failed electrical grid, ravenously eating cans of cold beans, and fear of getting a life-threatening infection from a minor injury.

The dystopian cottagecore sex worker AU one. 

When I started looking for Good Omens fanfics, this was one of the first fics I read. It did its job beautifully, and and it totally sucked me into this fandom. The world-building is beautiful, and it feels like an emotionally authentic way these two individuals could find each other and build a life after society has disintegrated. Like any good AU, this has characterization that is harmonious with canon but throws these personalities into a wildly different Situation. Bonus points for sex-worker Aziraphale, another favorite trope (and a John Prine nod? Summer's End is a beautiful song that resonates with this story, even if it's just a coincidence).

The Beginning and the End by @snae-b (Rated Explicit, 45K, finished)

Omegaverse dystopia: Alpha Crowley and Omega Aziraphale are on the run.  Omegaverse has a powerful biologically-based social hierarchy with which writers can give incisive social commentary about gendered experiences in our world. In this survivalist story, you can really feel frightening and vulnerable it is to be a member of the physically weaker class. I appreciated how Crowley, as the alpha, slowly gains insight into Aziraphale’s experience as an omega in a way he probably would not have, were society stable. It was a beautiful progression to trust that started from Aziraphale’s chilling pragmatic attitude towards survival. Mind the tags if you are squeamish about kinky stuff (but also mind the tags if you are seeking out kinky stuff).
