#I would hug Crowley too. but I fear that since I'm not Aziraphale I would simply DIE

Good Omens update:

It's been a day and I'm already one season down... To wait five years to start it was blasphemous and I deeply regret it. I have fallen for Good Omens quicker than Crowley was cast from heaven and I can feel this show putting me into a chokehold.

I'm back on my hyperfixation bullshit, and I might not want anyone to save me this time around.

(Disclaimer: This is not my work. I am in no way affiliated with the artist. I just want to show off artists that I think need more attention. I also don't have anyone I can talk to about the rabbit hole I've gone down that is Good Omens doujins. I will supply links to their social media and where you can find the publications (If available))

This is Cherophobia by Nanasaki/78 (quick warning, their account is currently private but according to their bio they do occasionally unprivate it)

The definition of cherophobia is 'the irrational fear of being happy'. Crowley and Aziraphale got their happily ever after. They have their South Downs cottage and Crowley even has a greenhouse where he can take care of his plants. He loves Aziraphale, and Aziraphale loves him. But... Why does this not feel right?

I've learned something new today! Who says you can't learn something from fan work?! Anyway, this is a very melancholic story. There's no big epic moments. No PTSD. No flashbacks (although there is some shenanigans that has to do with Crowley's hair). It's just Crowley struggling with the fact that he cannot bring himself to be happy with his life, and Aziraphale trying to help how ever he can. It's something I've never thought about when it comes to Crowley, but it fits. It's just so sad watching him cope.

I also would contribute this to the art as well. The style is still anime esque, but much simpler in comparison. It's kind of sketchy, but intentional. I love the expressions too. My favorite was a page after Aziraphale hugs Crowley and tells him that he loves everything about Crowley. And the page is just Crowley's expression shifting from surprise to a moment of fear, uncertainty, and pain. His eyes are snake like and he's sweating a little and just making quiet little noises, but it works so well~~

Honestly, it's so sad. I don't want to harp on it. I'm usually not good with angst; I have to be in a specific mood to read a good angst fic. So the fact that I love this one so much despite how I go about reading these books... It just hit me in the gut and I wanted more people to see it... It's like how we all want people to experience the Final Fifteen despite it hurting...

Does... that make sense?

Unfortunately, the book is sold out on Booth. You might be able to find it on second hand websites. Nanasaki still draws GO fanart, although unfortunately I'm not able to check their twitter account since it's private. But that's ok... I got my book...

Anyway, I don't think they have any other books, past or future... But if I find something I'll update this page.
