loving men has never stopped them from killing, assaulting, or otherwise harming and degrading women, so clearly loving them enough was never the problem.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

this is why i will never feel completely grateful for the movie. i mourn the loss of what should have been

Something impossibly precious has been irrevocably lost. We'll probably get a cottage, a kiss, a happy ending, but we'll never get the beautiful path they were supposed to walk together before they got to the end...

rewatching the show knowing that Lestat could hear everything Louis was saying in his head to Claudia adds so much

@possibility-left's fic!! i'm so excited

Featured Fic #1: the exponent of breath

Today's featured fic is "the exponent of breath" by possibilityleft

---------------------- Read on ao3 -----------------------

We encourage readers to engage with the fic as well. Comments are always appreciated, and we hope to foster a greater sense of interaction in the community.

Here are some ideas if you don't know where to begin:

What was your favorite moment? Was there a character, scene, or line that made you laugh? Smile? Cry? Did you connect with the author's style? Love the dialogue? The action?

Short comments are okay too! It's totally fine to just say that you liked the fic, to leave a keysmash of emotion, or even an emoji. Comments are always appreciated!

Those little trick-or-treaters sure look a bit familiar, don’t they?

Aaaaand it’s done!!! Just in time! (please imagine me bursting through the finishing tape of a race here, that makes it seem much more impressive) If you follow my stories, you’ve seen me working on this one for a hot minute.

This is honestly one of my favorite illustration ideas I’ve ever had, and I’m so happy to bring it to life. As much as I love every rendition of angel!Crowley and demon!Aziraphale crossing my dash in October (I’ve drawn it too!), I wanted to do something more complex for the Halloween theme, something that really set an entire scene. The moment I first thought of it, I knew this idea was the winner - and I also cringed, because... backgrounds? Dramatic lighting? Four people? And NO DIRECT REFERENCE? Ai-yi-yi.

But you know what? I did it. And if me of 2019 - or even 2020 - saw this, she’d be floored. Sure, the shading is simple (it had to be for me to finish it on time 😆), but even still, my color has grown infinitely more confident; despite how much it screams “90s kid who loved Lisa Frank,” I can’t imagine going back to the muted tones of old. At least not for something like joyful fanart, which, above all else, should be FUN!

So that’s my artist statement. I hope this one makes you smile, and above all else - HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (Now, I take a much-needed drawing break! See you in November.)

AU Idea

You know how Crowley and Aziraphale were originally supposed to be the same character?

You know that headcanon that Crowley was Raphael before he Fell?

And you know that post about how Aziraphale’s name is basically “Azoi Raphael,” which means “Also Raphael?”

Well what if they were the same person once? Before the garden of Eden existed and needed a guard, before the demons were cast out of heaven, there were seven seraphim: Gabriel, Michael, Sandalphon, Uriel, Metatron, Lucifer and Raphael. Lucifer rebelled completely and fell completely, but Raphael, who only ever asked questions and doubted, who never openly rebelled against God, received a much different fate.

Raphael was split in two. The half of him that was full of doubt and questions was cast down into Hell and renamed Crawly for the way he slithered like a seed of doubt slithers through the mind, as he could no longer truly call himself Raphael anymore. The half of him still full of devotion to God and reminiscent of who Raphael was before he began to doubt was named Aziraphale, meaning “Also Raphael” in reference to how he was, in truth, the same being as the Raphael who had been cast Below. This new creature was placed as a guardian of the also-new Eden.

Neither of them remember who they were, and will wonder for mellinia why they felt so at ease when they had first met and Crowley - then Crawly - had struck up a conversation as if it was the most natural thing in the world. But they can’t deny the fact that they feel drawn together, as if they belong together somehow. They feel like something is off when Aziraphale is able to posses a human like a demon, and Crowley is able to stop time, a feat of incredible power that he really shouldn’t have been able to do, even if they both knew he was pretty powerful before.

Maybe the rest of the archangels (and former archangel) know what happened and didn’t tell them. I would like to think otherwise, because I would really, really love to see the look on all of their faces when, after the apocalypse, Aziraphale and Crowley switch bodies, and finally after all these years catch a glimpse at each other’s soulstuff, and realize. I would love to see the dawning realization in everyone’s eyes as the two halves merge once more, Raphael reborn, stronger than any of his siblings, that nobody will ever be able to stop him now.

Welcome!

Hi everyone! Welcome to Project Lighthouse. We are here to bring you fic recommendations with the express purpose of encouraging readers to engage with fics and their authors. We believe there are so many great fics out there that don't always make it to a rec list, and we know that reader engagement can be so impactful on enjoyment and participation in fandom.

We have two goals: 1) To introduce people to fics they may not have heard of / that don't get recommended as often 2) To encourage readers to engage with said fics through comments Our recommendation google form is here if you have fics you'd like to see us highlight (self-recs welcome!) Feel free to follow along on tumblr (@projectlighthousefics) or twitter (@/ProjLithse24), where we'll be posting several times a week. Thanks for being here!
