My Good Omens Fics

One Shots:

Similarly Occupied - E, 8.8k. Crowley wakes from his nineteenth-century nap to find Aziraphale in a less-than-discreet Gentleman's Club. Pining and dancing and mirrors, oh my. Written for the GOAD Smut War.

and i hate to wait so long - E, 3k. Aziraphale finds out about Crowley's past as a kraken, and is...intrigued, to say the least (v soft, dreamy, and romantic mofu). Written for the GOAD kink fling, prompt: tentacles.

If the Fates Allow - E, 3.2k words. It’s the night before Christmapocalypse, and the boys are back in the bookshop for the first time since their first kiss. Angsty smutty feelings with a happy ending epilogue. Written for the GOAD Holiday Exchange for @nightshiftcaffiene

Kind by Kind - E, 3.8k. A bit o' historical wing smut, praise kink, and also Leonardo da Vinci. Written for the GOAD Valentine exchange for @noisycatstephanie

Multi Chaps:

Little Bookshop of Horrors (WIP) - E, 4/8 chapters published (and I’m back at it!). A campy, sacrilegious romp. AKA what if GO S3 was actually Little Shop of Horrors? Written for the Good Omens Theatre Bang with perfect(ly gorgeous and threatening) art by @gardenvarietydemon

Stuck On You (Complete) - E, 56k. After a drunken handfasting ceremony, Crowley and Aziraphale find themselves magically bound to be touching at all times. In order to set the situation to rights, they must embark on a multi-day journey to seek help from the last true witch in England. Written for the High Pollen Count event with the swooniest cover art by actual goddess @gleafer.

Now complete! The final chapter is here!

For everyone who has been following along with the WIP, I so hope you enjoy the ending. For everyone who has been waiting for the finished story before jumping in, I hope you enjoy the ride. 💕

Chapter Excerpt

Twitchy and nervous—and increasingly irritated with himself for being twitchy and nervous—Crowley waits. His hands curl and uncurl around a brimming tankard of ale, fingertips drumming against the dented pewter. He tries to sink further into his chair, stretching his long legs to their full extension. Nonchalant, like. Seductive. Exceptionally suave. Only trouble is, his foot is bouncing and his body keeps tormenting him with tantalising little remembrances of the last time he sat in this same chair, at this same table, in this same tavern, propositioning an angel: silver cord wrapped around his wrist, the scrape of the wood grain against his side, Aziraphale’s hand splayed wide and open against his chest. He might as well attempt to cosy up on a bed of nails for all the nonchalance he’s able to muster. Each time the door opens, Crowley shoots upright again, craning his neck to peer around the thickening crowd of patrons, desperate for a glimpse of blonde curls, the soft curve of an angelic smile. Pull yourself together, Crowley. He’s coming. He’ll be here.

After a drunken handfasting ceremony goes awry, Crowley and Aziraphale find themselves magically bound to be touching at all times. In order to set the situation to rights, they must embark on a multi-day journey to seek help from the last true witch in England.

Canon-typical drinking, sex pollen (but not really), more like forced proximity pollen, mutual pining, only one bed, only one horse, eventual smut, pining while fucking, angst with a happy ending

Aziraphale, a vicar, newly given the living of a parish in Eastbourne, makes the journey to thank the distant acquaintance who granted it to him. There, he meets a beautiful young man. …And a lovely young woman who bears a striking resemblance to him.

A @fandomtrumpshate offering for Zin_Lynn.

a snowy little sketch of these two 🤍

[cobragardens]

I absolutely love the placement and the--the expression? the arrangement? idk the art term--of their hands here. Crowley's hands like he's carefully _and greedily_ handling something priceless to him; Aziraphale's hand like he's transitioning from the gesture of care that is tucking Crowley's scarf* under the edge of his coat to fisting the scarf and the coat to pull him closer.

If that latter strays a little into headcan territory, I think it's at least fair to say that putting your hand to someone's neck while they're kissing you is a gesture of affection, attraction, and possession. It's This person trusts me so much that I can put my hand to their neck and they will keep their eyes closed.

So the hand positions of each one sort of indicate the particular ways each of them feels/shows his affection/attraction to the other, and I didn't know until just now that it was even possible to symbolize something that incredibly specific using hand positions. 🤯

Chapter 4 (Feed Me)

Rated E, Chapter 4/8, gorgeous cover art by @gardenvarietydemon

Fic Summary:

On the 1st day of the month of October In a year not too long after our own The human race will encounter a deadly threat to its very existence And this terrifying enemy will surface, as such enemies often do In the seemingly most innocent and unlikely of places ... Or, what if GO S3 was actually Little Shop of Horrors.

Chapter 4 Excerpt:

He can be patient. Can wait out the pacing and protests until the demon wears himself out. He can wait, hoping Crowley’s eyes might soften in that particular way… He’d been prepared to take Crowley’s hand and say the three words that had been torturing him since the moment Crowley’s fingers had left his lapels.  Do it again. However, he had certainly not been prepared to find his beloved books being hawked about like a bit of tat in what appears to be more jungle than bookshop.

sharing this once again because i can finally share the original inspiration for this instalment of the Kiss Series!

Hamlet & Horatio

by my dearest @ineffabildaddy , on ao3

Crowley and Aziraphale bump into each other after catching Hamlet at The Globe. They discuss the central friendship in the play, leaving truths about their own friendship unspoken.

This was such a joy to read and deserves all the love in the world! Please go and enjoy some flirty banter, deeper conversation and of course some classic ineffable pining ;)

Rated E, Chapter 2/8, gorgeous cover art by @gardenvarietydemon

Hi pals! Um, it's been a while (I am so sorry about that). And while it's no longer spooky season, it is the season of growing things!! And there's something strange and interesting blooming in the bookshop…

Excerpt:

From the Observational Journals of Muriel Mushnik: Recording Angel, Scrivener 37th Degree. Day 1: The following will be a fair and factual daily report of all the goings on in the bookshop, as recorded, to the best of my abilities, without personal bias, and according to my sacred duty as a scrivener. This commission comes directly from Aziraph the Supreme Archangel, who has requested that I keep these notes in a safe place until he returns to collect them. ... Day 6: Mr Crowley came back to the bookshop today. There is definitely something very, very wrong with him.

Every time I see this quote I realize how poor even very smart people are at looking at the long game and at assessing these things in context.

One of my favourite illustrations of this was in a First Aid class. The instructor was a working paramedic. He asked, “Who here knows the stats on CPR? What percentage of people are saved by CPR outside a hospital?”

I happen to know but I’m trying not to be a TOTAL know it all in this class so I wait. And people guess 50% and he says, “Lower,” and 20% and so forth and eventually I sort of half put up my hand and I guess I had The Face because he eventually looked at me and said, “You know, don’t you.”

“My mom’s a doc,” I said. He gave me a “so say it” gesture and I said, “Four to ten percent depending on your sources.”

Everyone else looked surprised and horrified.

And the paramedic said, “We’re gonna talk a bit about some details of those figures* but first I want to talk about just this: when do you do CPR?”

The class dutifully replies: when someone is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse.

“What do we call someone who is unconscious, not breathing, and has no pulse?”

The class tries to figure out what the trick question is so I jump over the long pause and say, “A corpse.”

“Right,” says the paramedic. “Someone who isn’t breathing and has no heartbeat is dead. So what I’m telling you is that with this technique you have a 4-10% chance of raising the dead.”

So no, artists did not stop the Vietnam War from happening with the sheer Power of Art. The forces driving that military intervention were huge, had generations of momentum and are actually pretty damn complicated.

But if you think the mass rejection of the war was as meaningless as a soufflé - well.

Try sitting here for ten seconds and imagining where we’d be if the entire intellectual and artistic drive of the culture had been FOR the war. If everyone thought it was a GREAT IDEA.

What the whole world would look like.

Four-to-ten percent means that ninety to ninety-six percent of the time - more than nine times out of ten - CPR will do nothing, but that one time you’ll be in the company of someone worshipped as an incarnate god.

If you think the artists and performers attacking and showing up people like Donald Trump is meaningless try imagining a version of the world wherein they weren’t there.

(*if you’re curious: those stats count EVERY reported case of CPR, while the effectiveness of it is extremely time-related. With those who have had continuous CPR from the SECOND they went down, the number is actually above 80%. It drops hugely every 30 seconds from then on. When you count ALL cases you count cases where the person has already been down several minutes but a bystander still starts CPR, which affects the stats)

[myfatfuckingface]

That Vonnegut quote brings this particular moment to mind:

Yes, it’s just a pie. Yes, the pie itself doesn’t do much direct damage in the grand scheme of things. But the pie is resistance, and resistance inspires resistance. Resistance inspires survival. Throwing pies sometimes starts a movement. Throwing pies sometimes saves lives.

And of course, we haven’t spoken about the inherent morality of throwing pies at oppressors in a world where oppressors have outlawed pie throwing. At the very least, pie throwing is a reminder to the oppressors that no matter how much money they have, no matter how much power they have, there are still some people, some moments they can’t control.

I’d rather go out throwing pies than just rolling over and accepting that pie throwing isn’t going to solve anything. Yeah, the pie throwing doesn’t immediately solve the problem, but it doesn’t have to because it’s just a starting point. So throw the damn pie.

[holy-muffins]

So throw the damn pie

[elkian]

Something I realized fairly recently about peaceful protests is that they are, in essence, a dress rehearsal.

Yes, peaceful protests can change things on their own - blocking traffic, preventing customers (and employees!) from entering a business, and so on.

But the unspoken part, is what they do is demonstrate that this is an issue that people will turn out in force for. Both to those in power who need to listen, and those trying to share the message: we are not alone, and we will do this thing if it needs to be done.

Sometimes the powers that be forget this - or think they can elide it - but the connection is there. When people aren’t allowed to talk about things affecting their work, whether it’s their wages or that the “please please pleas epleas pleas resign we’ll pay you we prommy” email is clearly a huge scam, that lack of connection takes agency and power from those people.

Art, a pie in the face, hippies getting photographed mid-protest - it’s all communication. Not everyone is happy with the status quo, and now that information is in the world. The more people who talk about it, share it, connect to it, the greater that quiet force grows until you realize it’s actually a whole lot of people when you used to think it was just you.

[vaspider]

It’s important to note, btw, that the pie ruined her fucking career. After that pie, pretty much nobody took her seriously anymore, which didn’t end homophobia, but it pretty much did end that one homophobe.

Chapter 8 Excerpt:

“Crowley…” Crowley crosses the few steps from the doorway to Aziraphale. He can wrap him in his arms and bury his face in his angel’s shoulder, can drink him in for another hour or two at least. He can also hear Agnes behind them, passing the barn after her morning run, shouting out a hurried, “I’ll thank the two of ye to remove yourselves to your own cottage before ye take that any further. I’ll not be so forgiving if there’s a repeat of the last scene I stumbled upon, mark my words.” Crowley chuckles. “Probably owe her an apology, don’t you think, angel?”

That’s all folks!

But goodness, it was so lovely!
