AJ Constantine's Good Omens Fic Recommendations. Human AU, Historical.

I’ve complied my fic recommendations into categories and sharing them here. I’ll be updating these lists periodically as I come across new favorites.

This category features Human AUs in a Historical setting. (One of my favorite themes.)

If you enjoy any of these fics, please consider leaving a comment for the author. 💖It truly brightens their day and helps encourage them to keep creating these wonderful stories for all of us to enjoy.

I don't have Tumblr links for all of these authors, so if you know them do let them know that they've been recommended. (Which will also brighten their day. 😁)

All My Heart Is Yours by @feraltuxedo Victorian. M/M. Rating: E Words: 63,810 Chapters: 21 Aziraphale Fell arrives at Eden Hall to take up his new position as tutor to the young heir. The house is enormous, remote, and its occupants rather strange — but none more so than its master, the ill-mannered but inconveniently handsome Mr Crowley.

A Dependence on Appearance by LCwrites (@janara7) . Regency. M/M Rating: E. Words 23,445 Chapters: 4

Miss Anathema Device is young, vivacious, and talented artist. Her close friend Lord Crowley hosts a house party in the hope of helping her acquiring a patronage. The weekend might get more interesting than Crowley anticipated when the obnoxiously rich Gabriel Archer brings along his cousin who seems thoroughly uninterested in the proceedings. That is, until Crowley catches him alone. (One of my favorite authors. Get everything they write into your eyeballs, folks)

Entailed by @feraltuxedo Regency. M/M Words: 18,228 Chapters: 5 Loosely inspired by Pride & Prejudice.

Anthony Crowley, a single gentleman of seven-and-forty and guardian to two unmarried sisters, is awaiting the arrival of the young clergyman who is set to inherit his estate. A marriage between him and one of the Miss Crowleys would be advantageous for both. But Mr Fell has other plans.

Half Agony, Half Hope by CorvidCordelia Regency Rating E M/M Words: 30,986 Chapters: 21 

In Regency-era England, Aziraphale Fell—bookish, well-mannered, and heir to a respectable name—meets Anthony Crowley, the illegitimate and scandal-prone son of the infamous Lord Beelzebub. By all rights, they should have nothing to do with one another. They are not friends. Certainly not companions. And yet, they keep getting themselves into scrapes all over London and finding they rather enjoy each other's company.

Amid family pressures, societal expectations, and forbidden feelings, they must decide whether love is worth risking everything.

(The Austen-esque prose is very evocative of the era. The unspoken glances, the aching restraint, the impossible tension between duty and desire--delightful.)

Marriage and Misery by @wyvernquill Regency-ish, arranged marriage. M/M Rating: M Words: 10,511 Chapters: 1

Aziraphale firmly told himself he would not make such a maudlin spectacle of himself any longer. Fine, then. He loved. Crowley did not. They were husbands nonetheless, in nothing but name; strangers apart from their wordless shared evenings and some polite conversations on occasion. Love would not - could not - change a thing.

Marriage, especially the arranged variety, is an enterprise wraught with pitfalls; moreso, Lord Aziraphale Fell is quickly learning, when hearts become involved. Troublesome things, really, hearts. Only fit to break…

(Lovely historical tone that really evoked the feeling of the era , and so much pining it just poured off the page and made my heart ache. And then of course the happy ending that made my romantic heart go pitter pat.)

A Place to Call Home by TawnyOwl95 @tawnyontumblr Victorian. M/M Rating: E Words 6,054 Chapters: 1 Thespian Crowley, artist Aziraphale.

Aziraphale is trying to start a new life, but first his past must be put to rest. (One of my favorite authors, and very prolific. Go hit that subscribe button)

The Queen's Hellhound by Phoenix_Soar. Medieval. F/M Rating: E. Chapters:1. Words 3,558 Queen Aziraphale, knight Crowley.

After an infuriating meeting with her council, Queen Aziraphale finds herself seeking yet another secret tryst with the head of her guard. If only Crowley would act less like a knight and more like a lover when they’re alone together… (OMG. This is scorchingly hot. And full of the feels.)

sine qua non by drawlight. 1920's Russia. M/M Rated: E. Chapters: 1. There is a ball tonight at the Winter Palace. Crowley has laid out his lord's clothes. (Chock-full of longing and love. An amazing writer, one of my favorites)

The Soldier's Bond by @gayangeltrap Late Roman Republic Rating E M/M Words: 69,198 Chapters: 20 

In the Gallic Wars, Angelus Aziraphale, is a Roman centurion. A man of discipline and honor, Aziraphale suppresses personal emotions, focusing on maintaining control over his men and ensuring victory for Rome. Aziraphale and Crowley find themselves drawn together, which is complicated by the rigid Roman norms and the tension of their military roles.

Content warnings: Violence and death, mention and depiction of slavery, themes true to the gritty life of Roman soldiers at war. 

(OMG: this was so gripping. It is intense and beautifully written. The historical detail was so immersive, and the balance between gritty realism and emotional nuances of the characters was so compelling. The harshness of life in the Roman army wasn’t softened, yet the humanness came through.)

Temple of the Muses by AJ Constantine Victorian. M/M Rating: E Words 240,785 Chapters: 38

It’s the start of the Season in 1841 Victorian England. Anthony Crowley has left a life of working at a high end bordello in Paris and is now a courtesan intent on climbing the social ladder in London to increase his status and social connections. 

After unexpectedly inheriting the title of the Earl of Eastgate, Aziraphale finds himself navigating the complicated world of the aristocracy. Duke Gabriel purchases a month-long contract with Crowley for Lord Fell as a surprise gift to Aziraphale’s astonishment and dismay. He declines to take full advantage of Crowley’s charms but agrees to an arrangement of pretending to be Crowley’s paramour in exchange for lessons on the etiquette and expectations of Society. 

It’s a practical arrangement, nothing more. Certainly no feelings will be involved…

(This story consumed me for well over a year as I wrote it, and I fell hard down the rabbithole of researching Victorian history)

Tidewrack by TawnyOwl95 (@tawnyontumblr.) 1700's Pirate AU. M/M Rating: E Chapters: 2 Words: 6,706

Crowley never wanted to be a pirate captain. He likes giving orders though, and the clothes. And when pretty rich boys are brought to his cabin for questioning. Although this prisoner is making Crowley feel rather out of his depth. (Fluffy fun)

with all your delights by weatheredlaw Fantasy AU. M/M Rating: E Words: 61,754 Chapters: 4

Aziraphale is sent as a gift to the southern king to smooth over trade negotiations. they both find themselves in over their heads. (Historical fantasy is a niche I adore. Not enough Good Omens stores in this theme)

I'm so happy to have my Cinderella AU story recommended! ❤️🎉That story was so much fun to write. I had really wonderful reader engagement during the posting of it; some of whom gave me marvelous ideas that influenced future chapters.

Good Omens Fanfic Recs - part 1# June 2025 🥳🩷

Multichapterfics

87] Mistakes were made (T) by @vampiremama

Set after S2, Aziraphale finds himself in heaven, loathing the bright whiteness. When he is tasked with the preparation of the second-coming he realises he needs help. Well, Crowley is still very hurt, but he won't let earth go to waste because of that. So they work together - again.

88] Tether (E) by @gingiekittycat

Set after S2, Aziraphale is up in heaven doing his duties as the new supreme archangel, when he suddenly finds himself sitting in the Bentley, next to a deeply hurt Crowley. Has he been summoned? But Crowley obviously doesn't even want him to be there? At least not this time. But it keeps happening and soon, things start to heaten up. They need to find out, why this keeps happening. 🌶️🤨

Now this fic may present itself as mostly smut, but it has quite a bit of an angsty undercurrent and leans more on the serious and sad (to me) tone of writing. You will find no banter here, but besides very hot scenes a really good plot and a totally new view on Crowley's fall. I had to head over to AO3 and subscribe to the author immediately.

89] Cinders bound by golden crown (E) by @ajconstantine

Human AU/Omegaverse: Crowley is a born omega and beloved to his father. When he remarries, the new stepmother and stepsiblings seem distant. But when his father dies a few years later - Crowley finds himself reduced to the lowest servant in the house. Meanwhile Prince Aziraphale, a born alpha, is forced to marry for the sake of the kingdom and is set to at least chose his partner himself. So there will be 3 balls ... And no, there is no fairy, but a very caring Anathema helping out. 🤴🫶

A retell of Cinderella set in the Omegaverse, though there is no knotting and rutting but there is male pregnancy and Crowley suffers heavy physical abuse before he finds his angel. So do mind the tags!

90] Unter the Samhain Sky (T) by @avoicebehindthestars

Set in pre-Christian Ireland, Aziraphale realises that 1 night each year, heaven has to close for maintainance. He chooses to stay on earth, unable to draw from his angelic powers. Soon he finds himself in dire need of help - until the Serpent of Eden comes to his rescue. 🩷

A beautiful story of our beloved angels in a time, when their ways of dealing with each other still were so new somehow and yet already the same. Like a peak in the past! 🫶

91] But I only just got you, You Can't leave (E) by @matsukitty

Ok please listen to me. There is a reason why I am addressing you before the short summary. This is probably the darkest story I ever read and I read a lot. There is non-con, rape and a lot of physical violence and torture in this fic, everything addressed to Aziraphale. Please read the tags and be careful with yourself. I downloaded this story months ago and just plunged in without regards to the tags ... And then it was like a train wreckage, where you just can't stop watching. I needed to finish the story just to know it would be ok. In hindsight I should have skipped the violent parts. So if you are not into heavy violence, this fic is probably not for you. The story does have a happy ending and sometimes uses well known characters and phrases in a different and interesting way.

That said, this story is about Aziraphale, who is a young prostitute. Crowley is in his mid twenties, married to Muriel and a closeted gay. When he meets Aziraphale, he is done for. Sadly, he is not the only one. Gabriel, chief of police, decides he needs Aziraphale for himself. So he sets up a scheme to kidnap the man to make him his sex slave. Things deterior quickly.

92] And now all of my garden is grown in lavender (E) by @ilikeblue

Aziraphale is a famous author of gay love novels and moves into his inherited cottage. Crowley is the local gardener and soon a friendship develops. Yes, friendship - pining is the keyword here. That is, until Aziraphale is invited into a TV-show for promotion. There he is confronted with pictures of him and Crowley ... 😅

I really needed a feelgood-story after the last one, so I went and reread this one. And I have to admit, though I already liked it the first time, the second time was even better. So many good dialogues, super plot, just a real nice story perfect for summertime.

Oneshots

93] Covet (M) by @anonymous

Aziraphale wonders, how long he has been wanting Crowley. 🩷

If you want to listen to this one, there is a podfic available by FayJay!

94] The colour beige given corporal form (E) by @harlotofgod

Human AU, in which Aziraphale and Crowley share a flat. One day Aziraphale comes home to find Crowley in a ... quite compromising ... situation. Can he help? Yes he can. 😁

95] Where you tend a rose (E) by @depraveddame

Crowley hurts himself accidentally when tending to the roses of their cottage. Aziraphale tends to him, Crowley is doing very well ... And even better, after Aziraphale starts telling him, what a good boy he is. 😉🌶️🌶️🌶️

96] Carpet diem (M) by @dragonfire42

A few days ago, Crowley gave Mr. Brown his business card. Now Mr. Brown messages him ... to sell him a carpet. But is he ... ? 😁🤦‍♀️

97] Don´t fall away from me (E) by @cassioh and @ilikeblue

Set after S2, Crowley wallows ... in self-pity and alcohol on a certain couch in a certain shop. When Nina sets his head straigt, he decides so stretch his wings and go for a fly. Except - he isn´t alone in the sky ... A meeting above the clouds where they finally talk. And more. 😉

Hope you enjoy the list, pls share the love with kudos, comments and shares! 🤗

The Unexpected Stats of Smut

Just for funsies, I went through and made a list of which of my stories had top vs. bottom dynamics—and honestly, the results surprised me. I always thought I leaned toward writing them as switches (why shouldn’t they both get to have all the fun?), and that’s definitely how I imagine them in my head.

But it turns out I’ve only actually written them that way twice. And I tend to write a lot more non-penetrative sexytimes than I realized. The things you learn about yourself through your own writing! Switches: The Allure of Desire, Temple of the Muses

Crowley top, Aziraphale bottom: Dickens Fair

Crowley bottom, Aziraphale top: Winged Awakening, Cinders Bound by Golden Crown (because Omega Crowley), Summoning Desire

Neither, as in no penetration, but other sexy acts: The Allure of Correction (although sub Crowley/ dom Aziraphale), Carmel Delight, In Love We Rise, Across the Altar of an Angel, Teach Me Your Lessons, Teach Me Your Touch, An Opportune Storm

I know some writers have a clear preference and always write these two one particular way—but for those of you who switch it up (ha!), what’s your mix? Do your smut writing stats match how you think of them in your head, or did your writing surprise you too? I’d love to hear how it shakes out for others!

Happy Mother’s Day to Writers To the writers who have created life with our stories—who have nurtured characters, guided plotlines, and shaped entire worlds.

To those who have stayed up late feeding scenes that refused to grow, cleaned up messy story arcs, bit back expletives (or not) when the words wouldn’t behave—ready to throw up your hands in despair and adopt a new hobby—yet came back, again and again, with patience and care. (And perhaps a cocktail.) To those who’ve muttered “I brought you into this world, and I can delete you,” but didn’t. To those who’ve poured love into every word, even when those words tested every last nerve. Happy Mother’s Day to all of us parenting our fictional disasters with love (and mild threats). 💐🖋️

[ajconstantine]

So many wonderful fic recommendations here-- many of which I've read and a few that I'm looking forward to reading for the first time!

What are your all time favorite fics?

I’ve been thinking about this for far too long but I think (for now) I have an answer (maybe).

Which stories do you come back to over and over again? Think of when reading others? Made you immediately look up the author and read all their other work? 

In no particular order, here are mine! Please share yours!

1. A Memory of Eden

by ImprobableDreams900 ( @improbabledreams900 )

(link to cover and my recommendation here)

Rated M (for violence) I sing the praises of this series a lot, I know. It’s one of the first GO fics I read and I’ve been spoiled ever since. Prior to this, I’d really only read one-shots or shorter stories. I didn’t even know that “series” existed on AO3 and was so excited to find there was more when I finished a Memory of Eden! Also, some people use “series” more like chapters or unrelated works - this was truly like picking up an amazing novel in the library and then discovering there are more (!) to read. I joined tumblr because of this series - I was really just following different posts about this series at first. This story is intense! I am not a huge crier, but it had me out and out sobbing BOTH times I’ve read it! It is so so good. This is the only one on my list I’ve only read twice, just because I have to be emotionally prepared for it. ;) But I really love the world building, original characters, and the amazingly real-feeling A and C. There are 3 “main” stories that are each novels in their own right, plus some short accompanying stories. 

The author is a graphic designer/book designer and fully designed and printed them (not for sale) with book covers and everything and I am so jealous (check them out, they’re so pretty!). Partially because I’m in marketing and LOVE print design and would love to design books and partially because I would love to have a copy! ;) 

2. Slow Show

by  mia_ugly ( @mia-ugly )

(link to cover and my recommendation here)

Rated E  This one is on most people’s fic rec lists, but for good reason! This one came out shortly after the show and I hadn’t yet read a lot of Human AUs (ha! that’s almost all I seem to read now lol). I remember thinking the premise wouldn’t be my thing, but I had seen it mentioned a few times and decided to give it a try. I tend not to love the over the top parallels to the book/show, so at the first “you gave it away?” I thought it was going to repeat lines too much and almost stopped reading! Thankfully I kept reading!!! I also didn’t realize it was a WIP when I started, so I followed along with updates as they came out from near the beginning. I prefer to read my stories in one go, but it was really awesome to follow along as this story progressed. I’ve read it all again many times and it’s just written so well! Someone also made a printed version of it, which looks amazing, check it out here! 

3. Good Neighbours, Good Fences (and Other Misunderstandings)

by out_there ( @out-there-tmblr )

(link to cover and my recommendation here)

Rated E Another that I see recommended often, but for good reason! It’s just so lovely. I love the descriptions of both Crowley and Aziraphale (”He’s not a twenty-four year old twink anymore; he can’t get away with hot pants and a mesh shirt” just is so amazing). Their banter is fantastic and so is the natural way their relationship evolves. This one is fairly short (IMO) and I have no idea how many times I’ve read it, it’s one I saved a long time ago and reread often.

4. Anthophilia

by FortinbrasFTW ( @fortinbrasftw )

(link to cover and my recommendation here)

Rated E More Human AU? Yeah, yeah, I know. This one came out before the show so it’s been around for quite some time. Seems like everyone has read this already, but you definitely should if you haven’t yet. Every now and then I search AO3 fics to look for something new and if I sort by total kudos, bookmarks, or comments this one is always near the top. It is so so good. I have read this at least five or six times so far. Love both A and C in this with an awesome Anathema as well.

5. Shotgun Wedding: sometimes a first date requires paperwork

By charlottemadison ( @charlottemadison42 )

(link to cover and my recommendation here)

Rated E Kind of cheating with this one (but I made the rules! Oh wait, no rules, carry on), but this story has captured me since the beginning! I tried valiantly to wait until it was finished, but I’m really glad I didn’t because I get so excited when it updates and I love charlotte’s posts with fun gifs when there are updates. I held out for awhile, but the post with a snippet of conversation at the bar with Aziraphale, Tracy, Shadwell, and Anathema pulled me in (looks like it’s in chapter 10) and read it before I could stop myself lol. I live in New England and I loved the time put into sounding out their accents. It caught my attention and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve reread it from the start so many times already! The insights into relationships (in general and romantic) are so insightful! And the premise is superb. I also love the small easter egg things but that they don’t pull me out of the story but are so amazing when you catch them (I’ll be honest, read chapter 30 too fast and the therapist “Herb” went totally over my head! I love Demonology and I didn’t catch it!). The writing is phenomenal! This one’s an all time favorite, I am both excited and already sad about it finishing up soon. 

So what are your favorites? I’m sure I’ll be posting more at some point! It was really hard to narrow it down to five. Basically if I’ve made a cover out of it, then it’s a favorite of mine. ;) But I’d love to hear yours!

Musings on Writing Romance: So Much More Than Just Plot & Pacing

I don’t think there’s nearly enough talk about the extra challenges that come with being a romance writer. (Well... erotic writer, in my case. Let’s call it what it is.)

Like, sure. All writers deal with plot, character development, pacing, ‘Show, don’t tell’, all that good stuff. But romance writers have an entire extra layer to stress over.

Is it romantic enough?

Are there enough spicy scenes??

Are those scenes spicy enough???

If I don’t deliver a certain level of expected heat, will my readers flounce off for other stories dripping with blazing hot sex and poetic descriptions of passion-drenched desire?

(Heh...dripping. Sometimes literally. Because hoo boy, some stories lovingly describe copious amounts of bodily fluids.)

Wait—do I not describe enough bodily fluids??

ACK.

Are my characters tenderly gazing into each other’s eyes in a way that makes hearts flutter—or am I laying the gooey sweetness on so thick that my readers groan “Great, now I need a toothbrush and a cringe detox”?

There is SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.

Really, romance writers—especially the spicy kind—deserve a lot more credit than we get. We’re doing double duty out here. Just saying. 😘

[ajconstantine]

A delightful collaboration of Good Omens writers and artists for Sweet Spicy Spring! Each creator contributed a unique piece inspired by the theme, and you can explore them all through the links below. Enjoy the springtime themes of sweet, the spicy, and everything in between!

Running on Empty: Fill Me Up by Afraid_Industry8409 Rating: E Chapters: 7 Summary: Crowley reluctantly agreed to help his colleague Anathema supervise a car wash to raise money to take their students to Pride. He wasn’t happy about it… until a gorgeous angel stepped out of a ridiculous antique Mini.

The Allure of Desire by AJ Constantine Rating: E Chapters: 5 Summary: In the grand halls of 18th century Eastgate Manor, Anthony Crowley serves with impeccable discretion as butler to the Viscount of Eastgate, Lord Aziraphale Fell. But behind closed doors, their relationship is anything but proper. What began as a hesitant, yet passionate affair has deepened over the past year. The recent hush of winter cloaked them like a dream, each stolen hour strengthening a bond neither dare name aloud.

And now with spring’s arrival, the Viscount’s affections grows bolder. Crowley, ever conscious of the gulf between their stations, cannot bring himself to believe such happiness could last. With the promise of love slipping through his fingers, he must confront the truth of his own desires—and decide whether he has the courage to reach for it.

Somewhere In The Woods by animeangelriku Rating: E Words: 9,475 Chapters: 1 Summary: There’s something about this complete stranger that begs Crowley to stay, to listen to him, to give him a chance.

“Who are you?” he asks, his voice barely audible. The smile on the man’s face grows. His eyes crinkle at the corners. His cheekbones round into a curve that Crowley wants, for an outrageous moment, to bite.

“Aziraphale,” the stranger—Aziraphale—answers. “Now, are you coming with me?”

Written for the prompt: I accidentally stumbled into a fae spring gathering while chasing my runaway cat, and you’re the fae who’s annoyed I didn’t dress for the occasion but still insists on dancing with me.

Night Blooms by GaiasEyes Rating: E Chapters: 10 Summary: Early spring has always stirred both romance and nostalgia in Aziraphale Fell. So, when he stumbles upon a once-familiar, now untended garden one crisp March morning, he cannot resist exploring. One flower in particular calls to him—more vibrant, more fragrant than the rest. Drawn to its beauty, Aziraphale plucks the bloom, certain it will make the most exquisite tea. But when he drinks it, the infusion does more than delight his senses—it stirs dreams richer than reality and conjures the presence of a man who haunts them. Written for the prompt: I found a strange flower in your garden that smells incredible and tasted just as good… only now I can’t stop dreaming about you.

Homecoming by Heretic1103 Rating: E Chapters: 15 Summary: After their friendship ended badly nearly fifteen years ago, Crowley and Ezra meet again when Crowley is temporarily forced back to his hometown to recover from an injury on the job. Have they both grown and changed enough to admit their own shortcomings that led to the falling out that ended it in the first place? Can they rekindle the friendship and possibly turn it into something more?

Alpenglow by LCwrites (Janara) Rating: E Chapters: 5 Summary: Freshly out of a relationship and at what feels like a turning point in his life, Aziraphale takes himself to a lonely mountain cottage with the hope of finding peace and quiet. Solitude is just what he needs, or so he thinks. Until circumstances get him acquainted with his temporary neighbour, who appears to have sought out the remote place for reasons of his own.

Figuring It Out by Leviosally and Wings of Opal Rating: E Chapters: 5 Summary: Spring has come to London, and with it, fresh possibilities. Anthony Crowley--determined to finally follow through on old dreams--signs up for a couple of classes as he tries to revisit what he loves best, get out of a rut, and get back into his career as a freelancer. Aziraphale works as a librarian not far from St. Lucius' School of Fine Art, and when his neighbor and friend, Anathema, asks if he would be interested in a little side-gig as one of the life models for her Intermediate Figure Drawing class, he agrees. That's not going to awaken things in anyone, right? Spring semester Art school meet-cute

Syzygy by Mageofthepeople Rating: E Words: 9,807 Chapters: 1 Summary: Dr Anthony Crowley decided that a small village in Oxfordshire would be the best place to make some astronomical observations for the upcoming Vernal Equinox. Az Fell is a bookseller set to start work on continuing his education. After an encounter in Tadfield's only nightclub ends badly, they find themselves in each other's company in a remote field outside the village. Written for the prompt: I’m an astronomer tracking the equinox, and you’re a witch who’s furious I’ve camped out on your ritual site. I don’t care about magic, and you don’t care about science.

The Breaking Of The Ice by MirjamOmens (Mirjam) Rating: M Words: 6,802 Chapters: 1 Summary: The earth thrummed under Aziraphale’s feet. Huge chunks of ice and debris grated against each other as the power of the flood crashed them into the pillars of the bridge and up the riverbanks. The bridge held, as it had for many years, and soon the flood wave passed, leaving a free, roaring river in its wake. Aziraphale looked upstream, where the river curved behind the small batch of forest, and drew a deep breath to calm his heart.

Spring was here, and with spring came high waters, and with high waters came… the log drivers.

A historical log driver human AU. Aziraphale lives in a village by a river. Every spring the log drivers arrive to spice up the life of the sleepy village for a couple of weeks before they continue downstream. One of them has red hair, strong arms and lovely hands. Not that Aziraphale has been watching, of course.

I'm watching you watch me (the way the devil watches angels) by MM2022 Rating: G Words: 5,116 Chapters: 3 Summary: Crowley met his angel the day he Fell. He was not even being his usual dramatic self when saying this, no—a fall on the runway during Paris Fashion Week was indeed a capital-F Fall. Or, at least, it would have been, if it were not for the angel…

It’s Spring/Summer Paris Fashion Week, and guess who’s turning heads on the catwalk? That’s right—Aziraphale and Crowley! Follow our favourite models (and the rest of the Good Omens cast) through three ethereally beautiful and devilishly tempting fashion shows.

Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer, They Were Models!

The Allure of Desire— a Good Omens Regency human AU.

In the grand halls of 18th century Eastgate Manor, Anthony Crowley serves with impeccable discretion as butler to the Viscount of Eastgate, Lord Aziraphale Fell. But behind closed doors, their relationship is anything but proper. What began as a hesitant, yet passionate affair has deepened over the past year.

Figuring It Out

Hello dearest readers! I am back, and this time, I come bearing cutesy schmootzy angst-free floof. (Pssst! It's only 5 chapters, oo-de-lally!!) The fic is 3/4 written and will update weekly on Friday!

Thanks go to @tybalttrouble for the Britpick and beta, and also to @dawn-the-rithmatist and @gaiaseyes451 for their beta work! I love you all so much!!

::takes deep breath:: I AM ALSO NOT DONE SCREAMING ABOUT THE BEAUTIFUL ART @wingsofopal HAS DONE!! Thank you so, so, so much for making Crowley's sketchbook pages come alive, darling!

There are no real CW's for this fic, HOWEVER, the premise is that Crowley and Az fall for each other while he is working as a nude life model. If you're side-eyeing me now, you might give the End Notes a peek.

Summary: Spring has come to London, and with it, fresh possibilities. Anthony Crowley--determined to finally follow through on old dreams--signs up for a couple of classes as he tries to revisit what he loves best, get out of a rut, and get back into his career as a freelancer. Aziraphale works as a librarian not far from St. Lucius' School of Fine Art, and when his neighbor and friend, Anathema, asks if he would be interested in a little side-gig as one of the life models for her Intermediate Figure Drawing class, he agrees.

That's not going to awaken things in anyone, right? Read it here.

Summary: Early spring has always stirred both romance and nostalgia in Aziraphale Fell. So, when he stumbles upon a once-familiar, now untended garden one crisp March morning, he cannot resist exploring. One flower in particular calls to him—more vibrant, more fragrant than the rest. Drawn to its beauty, Aziraphale plucks the bloom, certain it will make the most exquisite tea. But when he drinks it, the infusion does more than delight his senses—it stirs dreams richer than reality and conjures the presence of a man who haunts them.

Chapter Excerpt: Three days pass with purposeless sojourns into the kitchen and no milk in his Earl Grey. Three days of drawing baths to idle away the hours only to drain them still steaming. Three days of stripping the sheets from the bed, and wishing someone were there to see him clutch them to his chest before shoving them into the wash.

The last blossom remains untouched for three days.

On the evening of the fourth day there is a wrinkled tea towel on the counter and a frigid bowl in his hands. Aziraphale is far too mature, too educated to believe these dreams were caused by a bit of herbal tea. He ought to throw the remaining bloom away.

Indigo and gold float in scalding water, dancing around one another as it steeps. He slips between linen sheets and his eyes flutter closed, weighted down by anticipation; he knows he will not be able to open them again, not until the dream is done.

Grains of sand mound in the bottom of the tea timer and he pours himself into the illusion, the tight embrace and enveloping warmth waiting for him. Coppery liquid laps against painted poppies, gentling them together through the ebb and flow, buoying them as they crash into and over one another.

Porcelain doves watch as trembling lips meet, cherished and longing, sipping every last drop until both cup and bed are empty.

Open your eyes.

A huge thanks to my beta’s and brainstormers @kneelbeforeyourdogbabylon, @leviosally, @dbacklot99 and @hakunahistata who have listened to me whine and fret endlessly. You’re wonderful! And of course, thank you to @goodomensafterdark for the writers community.

Anthony thought he'd moved on, until one night he's dragged to a party full of people he thought he'd never see again. Suddenly, a party game of silly confessions --- a bowl full of secrets and harmless fun --- could be Anthony's last shot, if it's a risk he's willing to take.

Aside from all the eyes glaring at him, Crowley could otherwise make out a number of shuffling pieces of small paper and pens everywhere, and the person he saw Fell talking to was standing in the middle and holding a large fishbowl. He slithered his feet nimbly around the people gathered on the edges of furniture and seated along the floor, to reach the coveted space Bea saved him on the sofa. “What’s going on?” he asked Bea under his breath. “It’s a party game,” said a bright, cheery, voice above him. The voice belonged to the person Fell was with — the person Fell might even be dating or fancy for all he knew — who stood above him shoving the fishbowl in his face. “I don't think we've met. I’m Muriel. And I’m running the party games tonight.” “Charmed,” Anthony replied, dripping with sarcasm. “How’s it played?” “Here are the rules. To play, you write on a slip of paper a deep, dark confession and place it here in this fishbowl,” Muriel explained to Anthony and the rest of the room with as much exuberance as a game show host. “Then, everyone selects one at random and discusses them with each other.” Anthony grinned and chuckled a bit at Muriel as he spoke, completely horrified, “You mean you expect me, ngk, I mean… us all, to write embarrassing secrets, that other people can—” “It’s a conversation starter game,” Muriel beamed, as he realised this person likely didn’t have an embarrassing bone in their whole body. “Doesn’t that sound like fun?” “Not in the slightest, no,” he smiled, his voice smaller.

Our next sneak peak for the Good Omens Sweet Spicy Spring collaboration is from Vecieminde!

At the court of Versailles, both Heaven and Hell have their own agendas. As the Spring Equinox breathes life nature’s beauty, it also stirs something undeniable between Crowley and Aziraphale. When Heaven’s disapproval weighs heavily on Aziraphale, Crowley sees an opportunity—not just to offer comfort, but to tempt fate with something far more perilous: the pull of love.

It is easy for Crowley to let his mind wander to the angel. Especially with his horse being perfectly capable of trailing the right path without Crowley’s guidance. He had spotted her in the court but had lacked the opportunity to catch up. Aziraphale seemed to be even more anxious than usual to the point that if Crowley did not know any better he might think she is deliberately avoiding him. Her newest persona has infiltrated into the palace as a lady in waiting for the queen while Crowley is here as an advisor. Not that he is being listened to much by the king but Crowley had noticed how the king’s wandering eye had landed on Aziraphale more than once. As much as this observation tested his control over his demonic impulses, he cannot deny that there were plenty of reasons for anybody to admire Aziraphale. Endearing and contradicting personality aside, Aziraphale was simply the most radiant being to walk the Earth both in a literal and metaphorical sense. Even in the woods, everything reminds Crowley of Aziraphale. The scent of petrichor accompanies Aziraphale the same way that rosewood and parchment does. The Spring Equinox has made the day warmer, sunnier. Those of light are cast down through the leaves and the soft patterns they create on the grass reminds Crowley of Aziraphale’s platinum blonde curls that seem to glow when the light hits them right. The colours of the spring are the same as Aziraphale’s eyes. The demon sighs. His damned heart can never stop vocalising its yearning it seems.
