hello! do you intend to write more abo fanfics, but not from that au you already have? i tried reading it but i’m honestly not a big fan of that ship, i feel even bad for saying this. but the way you write is sublime and i’d love to read more abo coming from you 😕

Hello! Thanks for the message ✨ I completely understand that pairing isn’t for everyone, but unfortunately, I’m not planning any more strictly Aziracrow omegaverse works. I have too many other AUs in progress that I want to finish, and a more typical omegaverse fic between them isn’t something I’m currently interested in writing.

However, that being said— I’m likely going to dip my toes into the Arcane fandom shortly and I’ve got two omegaverse AU ideas for that, so you may see some more omegaverse from me eventually!

Chapters 8 and 9 of Bring Your Seed to Blossom have been posted!

I forgot to post about chapter 8 last week, so sorry!

Chapter 8 features the first of several flashbacks that will be featured in this fic, and chapter 9 is the heaviest of the story thus far. Please, please read the notes for chapter 9 before reading.

Chapter 8 Excerpts:

“So…Morning Star Counselling?” Crowley asked, shifting his weight on the stormy grey, tufted leather sofa as he sat across from Dr Morningstar, absentmindedly drumming his painted fingernails on his stocking clad knee (he had another session straight after this one that was of a another therapeutic nature entirely; no time to change beforehand, and the fishnets he wore under his inky black jeans were peeking out through the torn knees of the denim, more so than he’d realized until he sat down approximately two minutes ago to begin his first official appointment) “bit serendipitous, having a last name made for a therapy practice, innit?”

His busy fingers moved onto the black elastic hair band on his wrist, plucking and twisting it as he changed positions again; Crowley was a fidgety person by nature, but for some reason, that trait was amplified tenfold within this office to a highly questionable degree.

*

He glanced up from his book, leveled the most devastating smile at Aziraphale and murmured, the whisper of a smirk playing around his upturned lips, “‘bout time you came over and introduced yourself, love; you had me thinking you might’ve been a ghost.”

Aziraphale chuckled in spite of himself as he stared down into those sea glass eyes, and as he sat down at the behest of the other’s invitation, the blonde introduced himself.

“Sebastian Barclay, but I go by Seb,” he declared with that dazzling smile as he ran his fingers through his hair, and Aziraphale replied, his voice irritatingly higher than normal and possibly obscured by his heart thudding around in his throat, “I’m Aziraphale Fell, and I’m afraid I don’t have the luxury of a decent shortened moniker.”

Chapter 9 Excerpt:

“Have you ever…spoken with someone, about your experience with your ex? With a therapist, or a counsellor of some sort?” He kept his tone gentle and curious, concerned how Crowley may interpret such a question as possibly being judgemental or negative in any way, but before he even finished his query, Crowley tensed against him; his shoulders and torso turned rigid against Aziraphale’s chest and stomach, and his long legs drew up from their elongated position on the sofa, shrinking into himself as he took a shallow, shuddering breath, and Aziraphale’s heart dropped into that icy depth it always found whenever Crowley was anxious or afraid.

“Crowley?” he whispered, stricken with guilt over putting stress back into Crowley’s limbs so soon, for failing to lessen his pain and discomfort and instead renewing it, “I’m— forgive me, my dear, I don’t mean to overstep—”

“You didn’t,” Crowley’s reply was adjacent to monotone as he disentangled himself from Aziraphale, sitting up and slowly angling forward as he folded his legs at the knee, “I— I s’pose it’s time you know.”

What are the ages of Aziraphale and Crowley in Vine Slips? I feel like it was mentioned somewhere but I can't find it 😅

Thanks!

Hi! In Vine Slips, Aziraphale is 43 and Crowley is 32. And my pleasure! ☺️

[depraveddame]

am i being too emotional and mean for wishing father fell would beat the shit out of lucifer? i didn’t even begin reading the new chapter and i’m feeling it already 💔

Minor spoilers for chapter 9 of Bring Your Seed to Blossom below!

No, not at all 🫂 it’s the very least he deserves, and I can assure you that our priest dearly wants to destroy him, too. And this is one of the heaviest, most devastating chapters by far— I had to take so many breaks while writing it. It’s more than okay to be emotional 💖 it means a lot to me that these characters make you feel.

[depraveddame]

Update started writing something deeply self indulgent 🤡

It’s the way I’m fucking obsessed with jayvik and zaundads and a secret third thing and I haven’t even watched the fucking show yet I’m in deep

Periodic rent-lowering-gunshots:

Fiction is not reality.

You can enjoy things in fiction that would be awful in the real world. Like playing a murderhobo in a game! In the real world, being or supporting a murderer-thief would be pretty damn awful, while in the game it's just good fun. Same with anything else you choose to do with the pixels on the screen, like kinks that don't affect anyone real, so they're okay in fiction, but would be pretty damn bad in real life.

No one else is responsible for your online experience. They are required not to harass you, but they are not and never will be obligated to not post about ships, kinks, or tropes you dislike just to avoid you seeing them. It's up to you to blacklist words or phrases, block tags, or even block users as needed to avoid seeing content that upsets you.

No one can force you to read anything against your consent. Any content you don't like seeing can be instantly avoided by closing out of the offending post/fic.

You are not owed an online experience free of discomfort.

Nothing that happens in your imagination can ever make you a bad person. Words you write or read about fictional characters will never make you a bad person.

The claim that media consumption influences real-life behavior is intellectually dishonest and serves only to excuse the behavior of real offenders.

Fiction is a safe way to explore horrifying or confusing concepts. Therapists agree that fiction, even (or especially) about taboo topics is a good coping mechanism, especially, but not exclusively, for trauma survivors. Fiction is to adults what play therapy is to children. This doesn't stop being true if the work in question is of a sexual nature.

Sex isn't an inherently worse or better motivation than anything else. A work written to create feelings of arousal isn't dirty, shameful, or in any way less pure than works written to entertain, provoke moral questions, or for other reasons. And worth noting is that multiple purposes can exist in the same story, especially fanfiction.

You aren't entitled to an explanation for why someone reads, writes, or otherwise enjoys certain works, kinks, tropes, ships, etc.

To the anon who sent me some asks— just want to reassure you that your last message was received! Thank you so much for reaching out, what you said truly means so so much— and do feel free to DM me if you ever want to chat some time! 💖🫂

[depraveddame]

about your babygirl au: both aziraphale and crowley are going to be cis?

Hi! Aziraphale is cis, but Crowley is genderfluid! 💖

[depraveddame]

Hullooooooo!!! Is one allowed to ask how many chapters of Bring Your Seed to Blossom there will be, or is it a secret?

(Very very VERY obsessed with your writing btw!!! ❤️❤️❤️)

Hello! First of all 💖💖💖 thank you so, so much. Your kind words mean the world and it means everything that you enjoy my writing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading 🥹

And second of all, of course you can ask! I love and welcome questions about my work. The chapter count for BYSTB, I think, will be between 20 and 22 chapters. I am not a strict outlining sort of writer, so I don’t have a rigid chapter count for my long fics, rather a ballpark. I would love to do 22 chapters partly because I have likened this second part of the Vine Slips trilogy to The Book of Revelation, which has 22 chapters, but if there isn’t a need for that many chapters, that’s fine too.

BYSTB will feature flashback chapters— we’ve not gotten to any yet, but we will very very soon 👀 I think I have nailed down the specific scenes I want to include in part two versus part three, but that is subject to change as well 😂

Thank you again for your ask, dear reader! I hope your new year is off to a lovely start ✨

[depraveddame]

Reblogging again because look at him. This takes my breath away every time I see it. @tismrot I still can’t thank you enough darling 💖 your work is impeccable.

Crowley/the gardener, inspired by @depraveddame ‘s Vine Slips of a Strange God (fic on Twitter). Needed a break from writing and spent three days drawing this!

I am never drawing jeans or gold chain harnesses again.

[depraveddame]

It truly just means to the world to have such a lovely cover made for this fic— thank you so, so very much.

Aziraphale notices it as they near the bottom of the bottle, when the last jammy dregs cling to the inside of the glasses they’ve been nursing for some time, misted impressions of their fingerprints standing out against the otherwise crystalline surface.

He’s not certain why he’s only seeing it now; perhaps Crowley has been able to hide it until the alcohol dismantled his characteristic defenses enough to expose his wincing.

“Crowley,” Aziraphale asks, a little woozy himself, pleasantly inebriated from wine laced, ebbing adrenaline and the demon’s fire crackling presence, “are you quite alright, my dear?”

His tongue is thick in his mouth, heavy, and clumsy, and aching for some reason, too; it’s odd, and a tad disconcerting.

“‘M fine,” Crowley’s lightning quick reply is a mumbled, obvious lie he’s unable to twist into something convincing despite his efforts to do otherwise, “don’t worry ‘bout me, angel.”

I do little else, Aziraphale nearly admits out loud, absurd you could even think otherwise, despite our differences, despite our pasts, despite our… everything.

Or, an imagining of what else may have transpired that night during the Blitz.

Oh sweet melodrama.

Exhibit b, c, and d of why I wanted all of these on a side blog.

And that third one is an inking experiment, hence the intense Aziraphale. There’s a sketch for Crowley to match, I’m just not happy with it yet, so it’s still in iPad limbo.

[depraveddame]

Okay so here is exhibit A of why I wanted to start putting these on a side blog. This has been sitting on my iPad for what’s got to be 8 months now in some stage of completion, because I’ve been wayy too nervous to post it.

It’s just much further off canon than I’m used to going with fanart, but it’s really fun to play around with pre-fall, fall husbands

[depraveddame]

The last thing I needed was another human AU to become obsessed with and YET—

Soooo I couldn’t resist and am writing a short smutty Babygirl AU with Crowley as an older dissatisfied repressed CEO and younger self assured budding dom Aziraphale as his intern…✨
