Good Omens - January reads part #1- fanfics recs 🤓🩷
Follow along for short summaries each month about the books i read🩷
I only read finished stories and rarely one-shots. You will find no WIPs in here. Also you will only find happy or at least hopeful endings here - i couldn´t handle anything else.
Also i try to find every author here on tumblr to link-to, but sadly some times i am out of luck. If you happen to know them, please tell them, write to me in the comments or DM me and i will update the post!
1] Sky Clear Blue (E) by @klikandtuna
Human Au. It is the year 1804 and Azekiel is running a bookshop, but this folly is about to end, as he is obliged to marry the daughter of a pastor. Meanwhile in the year 2024 Crowley lives in a flat above a deserted shop. He can still read "A.Z. Fell, purveyor of the books" and is fascinated by it. And so sometimes he sneaks down in the empty place, until one day he finds a small handmade angel under the floorboards. And isnt it just a coincidence that Crowley likes to fiddle with a machine for timetravelling? 😉
It doesn't say in the tags but it feels a bit like a Dr. Who Crossover in the first chapters. This is a longfic of 749 pages that will decorate your mind. Brace yourself for some big emotions and quite a stretch of at least umcomfortable feelings and questions. Be brave, you will be rewarded. 🩷 Do make sure you read to the end!
One of the many most touching sentences: " He lives in the lilac wood of his own imagination, and he lives there all alone." 🦄
And incredibly there is also a song to one of the chapters, its a lullaby Azekiel sings for Crowley.
2] The two that got away (T) by @caedmonfaith
Aziraphale is alone at the pub, when a tall lanky ginger walks in - also alone. They start talking and decide to meet again there. But then the world goes crazy and lockdown starts. Years later, Crowley still thinks of the "angel", neither knowing his name, phone number or any further details. When Nina tries to set him up for a blind date, he stubbornly refuses. Good thing, that Nina and Maggie don´t let him get away with it. 😉
A sweet little christmas-story you can read every time of the year. I just love @caedmonfaith, you can seriously read everything from them and will always be in safe hands! 🩷
3] What are you doing on New Years Eve (T) by @thebookshoparoundthecorner
It is 1806, when Crowley and Aziraphale happen to be meet by chance on New Years Eve. The fic takes us through the years and tells about other New Years, including the ones after the end of S2. 🍀
4] Against all expectations (E) by @sixbynine
A/B/O & regency aera: Aziraphale/she/her is an Omega to be presented for marriage, but she has the least interest in finding a husband. So she sneaks away from the ball, but while trying to climb off the balcony, a strange Gentleman and Alpha even helps her to gather her dress and braid her hair.
A tale of unconventional thoughts and gender questioning, that had me googling for victorian paperweights and you"ll never guess why. 🤭
5] The trouble with beeing a demon (E) by @verdantvulpus
This fic is basically the answer to the question: if there are 2 Crowleys and 2 Aziraphales - how many different possibilities are there for them to enjoy themselves in bed (and also other places)? 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Felt Plot : Smut - Ratio = 1 : 9
Lovely quote: " There isn't a me that doesn't love Aziraphale."
6] The Grindr Logo Doesn´t Even have a 'G' in it (E) by @indieninja92
Set after S1, Aziraphale and Crowley are free to explore their friendship - or is it more? In the meantime Aziraphale is stumbling upon a fascinating but anonymous creature on Grindr for having online fun. 🌶️🌶️
I read this fic a while ago and while i was sick now, i listened to it in a great audiobook-adaption from @podfixx! Superhot no matter if you listen or read it, the shower-scene will live in my head rent-free forever.
7] Trust me (T) by @beet-feet
Set after S2, Crowley cant handle his broken heart and seeks a final solution... 😔
Mind the tags, but as always - a hopefull ending.
8] Keepsake (E) by @naromoreau
AU, Crowley is a fairy that likes to tease Aziraphale, who is a centaur. Well, that can't go without punishment any longer ... 🌶🌶🌶
9] Christmas Traditions and all that (T) by @captainblou
Crowley wakes on christmas morning - alone. But only, because Aziraphale has a surprise for him. 🎅😉
Lovely quote: "If Aziraphale wasn't the first thing he'd see, and touch, and smell in the morning, then it wasn't worth waking up at all."
10] Animal Instinct (G) by @captainblou
Crowley returns to the bookshop after a day in hell and desperately needs to unwind. Though this time must have been especially awful, because when the angel returns with tea, Crowley is - gone?
Yes, i have subscribed to this author and so this is why you sometimes get more than 1 rec for her 😁
11] A little help from a fiend (E) by @mimsynims
Human AU - although not really. Aziraphale sumons a demon because he is in need of ... assistance. I can´t tell you more without spoiling it. You´ll never guess what kind of "payment" the demon is willing to accept. 😉 Had me downloading the follow-up multichapter-fic!
12] Submitted for your consideration (E) by @zehwulf
Crowley hires a professional dom - but when he opens the door and takes the other man in, he doubts this will ever work. Well - it will. Better than expected. 😁🌶️
Go ahead - spoil yourself, love yourself - and don´t forget your love for the authors, too! 🤗
