Did you know if you misspell Aziraphale a certain way it corrects to Arapahoes? Because I do now.

In case you were wondering, the Arapahoes are Native Americans from the Colorado area.

I LOVED Faeted. It's one of the best fics out there. I wish I could scrub it from my mind so I could read it again for the first time.

Good Omens Fanfic Friday (28 Jun 2024)

Smaller list than I've had for the last couple of weeks but some great stuff nonetheless.

A Devil's Touch (1.8K; Rated T) by @untimelysteph

Aziraphale gets jealous when someone hits on Crowley at the pub. I like lighthearted jealousy stories. I'd love more where Mr. Brown hits on Aziraphale (to his annoyance and Crowley's jealousy).

Tribute (43K; Rated E) by @snae-b

Human AU. Continuing last week's run through snae_b stories. Set in a far future apocalypse, Aziraphale is a Guardian, tasked with protecting the underground cave system his people live in, until he discovers truths he can no longer ignore and escapes.

Water is scarce, the surface is unlivable, and Eden isn’t the paradise Aziraphale once thought he knew. But for a Guardian on the run, it's out of one lion's den, into another.

Faeted (series) (251K; Rated G/T) by @ineffably-good

Human/Fae AU. I was absolutely entranced by this series from page one. I haven't been as excited to dive into the next book (and as equally sad when it ended) since I read #RAINBOWROAD. It has a wonderful cast of side characters (Hastur and Ligur are standouts, and for once aren't villains), beautiful world-building, and Ezra manages to hold his own in a realm that's extremely dangerous for a human.

There are four stories (3 novels and a one-shot set after book 2). Crowley, being the fae lord of the Unseelie court, is more capricious than canon Crowley (necessary to hold his reign), but he's kind and loving toward Ezra, and he's willing to change and grow. This one is going on my best-of list for sure, and I'm already thinking of re-reading it. I just want to live in this world for as long as possible.

Ezra Fell is an English professor at a prestigious academy for boys. Crowley is the lord of the Unseelie court in the lands without sunrise or moonfall. Somehow fate will bring them together.

You know what's better than writing one Good Omens fanfiction at a time? Writing TWO Good Omens fanfictions at a time!

So, I'm making a serious? attempt to write another fic.

This is the most horrifying prompt yet.

“You don’t understand! The time loop lasts 10 years! I’ve had children born during the loop, but each reset erases them. The same sperm never wins the race… they’re gone forever!”

[seasonally-depressed-sunflower]

It's the first holiday I've been able to take, and the weather is nice. Also, people don't bother me.

You are stuck in a time loop, but you have no intention of ever breaking out of it. After literally millions of resets a new person appears in the loop and asks you why you are still in the loop.

Curry Quest, S3 E9 of Bluey.

For those of us who got desperately tired of (for a while) seeing every pitched screenplay jammed into the Procrustean bed of monomyth and then having to watch it get pieces chopped off it until it fit, this comes as a breath of fresh air...

omg. in a shocking turn of events, my disability is actually disabling me and my chronic illness is actually making me ill chronically.

[seasonally-depressed-sunflower]

When Crowley boarded the train he didn't expect to have to solve a murder, or that he would meet the love of his life. But hey, that's fanfiction.

The story is plotted, I just need to write the damn thing!

(It's no longer a WIP solely because I don't know what to do next, fix that creepy hand maybe. 🤔)

[seasonally-depressed-sunflower]

Oh?

[seasonally-depressed-sunflower]

I wrote a thing on Ao3

@starmaker-astral asked, so I dug out this old wip, and @gypsie102 said they were excited to read it, so I finished it.

I guess what I'm saying is...anyone want to read a Nativity Minisode in June?

It's been such a long time since I found a cool rock. 🪨

[seasonally-depressed-sunflower]

And we loved every second of that scene. 🥰

Is the scene where Crowley and Aziraphale are trying to figure out the past tense of "smite" a "Moana" reference or was that just a coincidence?

(In "Moana," Maui says, "I am a demigod, I will smite you! You wanna get...smited? Smote?")

No, I just wanted to make Aziraphale say "smitten".

Not voting is saying you are okay with Trump as president.

Look.

I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.

People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".

These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.

If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
