The Angel and the Nightingale

A Summer Omens Big Bang collab by @maon25 (art) and me (story)

Read here on AO3 (G, 8k)

Look at all the amazing art by @maon25 :

In chapter 5 🔝

In chapter 2 🔝

In chapter 1 🔝

Summary:

It’s summer once more in Kensington Gardens.

The white marble statue of an Angel, half hidden under a canopy of trees, is content enough with his life, his animal friends in the park, the here and now.

Until an unusual Black Nightingale lands on his left wing and sings to him stories of woe, of mystery, of a dear friend lost, of his quest to find the love of his life again.

Every summer, the Nightingale, who remembers only fragments of what really happened to himself and his long-lost soulmate, revisits the Marble Angel, having gathered more hints and ✨Clues✨ to help his quest. The Angel’s marble heart melts with empathy for him, and with other feelings that seem new - but are they?

~~~

This is a romantic fairytale, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Happy Prince’, retelling Good Omens in symbolic language.

Michael’s Micro-expressions

a little freestyle poem, prompted by the word “minutiae”

Back to NaturallyTeal’s Good Omens Poetry master post

Miraculous, the minimalistic minutiae of your metaphorous mime -

Magically mimicking misery, empathy, moxie, merriment… more…

Muddling my mind!

[naturallyteal]

Do not go gentle into that good night

Written by Dylan Thomas

Performed by Michael Sheen

This expresses (some of) my (many and varied) feelings for the Good Omens Finale

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Spooky!

Halloween is looming gloomily ahead, and spooky fics willl be in season sooner than you expect!

Shivering with anticipation, I’ve put together a little rec list of my favourite spooky Good Omens fanfictions.

Please, before you enter into the works on AO3, read and MIND THE TAGS!!!

Lets start with two spooky, hilarious, and vey NSFW Choose Your Own Adventure stories, multi-author collaborations that produced text-based-game-like entertainment that provides fun for several days:

Give Me Jizz or Give Me Death - A Choose Your Own Jizz (CYOJ) Adventure

Aziraphale and Crowley's Spooktacular Adventure

(tagging @goodomensafterdark and @doonarose as representative of all those multi-authors 👋)

THE spooky fandom classic imho, if you haven’t read it yet I you probably have your reasons; it’s also the main reference for “Give Me Jizz” above!

Someone is Calling Him Shorewards by @harlotofupdog

A hauntingly (🤭) beautiful ghost story:

in the house we remain by @commodorecliche

EDIT: this fic has graphic descriptions of death and is maybe slightly under-tagged. Do take the tags that are there very seriously. Ask me if you are not sure.

Warning: this will probably happen:

A Poe-like, mind boggling nightmare (/positive) of a story that comes in two versions:

Aziraphale's Little House of Horrors (NSFW) and

Aziraphale's Little House of Horrors (SFW) by @sixbynine-da

If you want to reblog this adding your own spooky fic rec, do it!

A Gift for dragonfire42

sigil version

versions for square or circle use

Long before getting paired up with her in the Winter Omens Big Bang as artist for her “Keep Calm and Carry On”, I’ve admired @dragonfire42 ’s exceptional stories. They are different, in the best of ways: the story ideas appear to blossom from a brain well practised in Thinking Out Of The Box (one of my favourite kinds of Thinking). They are incredibly well researched, and deep, and fill me with awe and wonder.

When I made the cover art for our collab, I asked if she had a sigil that I could add, and she hadn’t one. Ever since then, this idea has been growing on a back burner of my mind, and has now finally come to fruition.

I designed this thinking of her fandom name - obviously - but also of the way loops play a role in her stories. Loops in logic and philosophy offer new viewpoints, they give sense for both the small and the big picture, for the individual and the social context in one fell swoop. The dragon who is not only an ouroboros (an important theme in The NeverEndingStroy’s Auryn, though with two serpents there), but actually creates himself, is for me a metaphor of human creativity, self-determination, and ultimately, joy of life.

The background colour in the middle was chosen with Falkor/Fuchur/Luckdragon in mind, of the NeverEndingStory.

The background colours outside the dragon are her favourite colours after octarine, which I somehow couldn’t find on my palette 😏

The above mentioned story is still posting regularly, and it contains bits and pieces of my art but the ‘big picture’ will be revealed in one of the future chapters. I very much recommend the story!

If you prefer you can also just look at the art for it in chapters 8-13 of my art collection on AO3.

Or read dragonfire42’s Good Omens x NeverEnding Story crossover, The NeverEnding Archive!

A huge Thank You to @thinkinginscripts whom I regularly pester with my art WIPs and who always has a useful and/or encouraging comment. Betaing art is a thing!

Make things! Be yourself! Do What You Wish!

❄️ Ice and Hoar Frost still linger…

Teaser 😈

Edit: Fully revealed art and links to both fics are out now, see this post!

Even though the Winter Omens Big Bang (WOBB) is coming to its close soon -

In the reverse WOBB, artists went first, making some wintery art, and each got paired with two writers who wrote a fanfic for it.

Here are snippets of my art. Full versions and fan fictions by jessevon and rainbow_salt @therainbowsaltsblog will follow soon!

Check out and follow @gosummerbang (formerly known as gowinterbang) to see all the wonderful art and read all the wintery fics, or go to the Winter Omens Big Bang collection on AO3!

❄️ “Keep Calm and Carry On”

@dragonfire42 (idea, story) and @naturallyteal (art) proudly present chapter 51 of our Winter Omens Big Bang collab, read it here on AO3!

This chapter holds some more art by me. The figures (pigeon Bentley, and Crowley) were already shown in previous chapters and here in tumblr posts, but now we reveal how they populate a snowy court inside the Tower of London grounds:

(View all the previously shown art for this fanfic (chapters 8-14), and more art by me, here on AO3!)

Summary: Amidst the smoke and fire of the nightly bombings of the Blitz, a pigeon fancier and a ravenmaster find love and the courage to carry on in the Tower of London during World War II.

M, WIP, posting weekly. Human AU with Coal Miner and Pigeon Fancier Crowley, who meets Yeoman Warder Aziraphale who tends the ravens.

Thank you to @gosummerbang for organising!

Currently it’s posting window for the summer bang collabs, so check out and follow gosummerbang (previously gowinterbang) to see all the wonderful art and read all the wintery or summery fics, or go to the Winter Omens Big Bang Collection or Summer Omens Big Bang Collection on AO3!
