#apocalypse buddies

[aziraphales-library]

ok so im not sure if this will make any sense, but i was wondering if you had any recs for like,,,big fics

an example would be "the time before" or "a memory of eden"

fics that are multi chapter, have a long over arching plot, preferably ones that involve the whole season 1 gang (anathema, newton, the them etc.)

sorry if that made no sense!!

(oh also any sort of relationship between aziraphale and crowley is fine. i dont mind. maybe preferably fics with no smut but it doesn't matter really)

thanks!!

You’ll want to check our #long fic and #apocalypse buddies tags for more fics like this. You didn’t specify if you wanted to avoid AUs or not (because there are loads of those), so I’ve stuck to canon-compliant. Here you go...

Earthbound Creatures by IneffableToreshi (T)

In burning Agnes Nutter's second book of prophecies, Anathema and Newt discover a mysterious page that refuses to go up in flame. Atop it is written a poem which neither, at that time, can hope to understand.

Something is happening, wheels are turning, and neither Heaven nor Hell are wont to forgive and forget. An Angel and a Demon are very much in danger of losing one another.

Keep Yourself Alive by Jlocked & The_Lady_of_Purpletown (T)

The Apocalypse didn’t happen, and Aziraphale and Crowley's respective Offices have been dealt with. For now. This should be a time for celebration and enjoying their life on Earth. But it seems Heaven has a different Plan for Aziraphale, and Crowley might not be able to solve this.

Meditations on Domestic Bliss by wordsphoenix (NR)

Everyone is alive. Time for an angel and a demon to start doing some living. Preferably in close proximity and with deeper significance than the friendship previously mentioned, since feelings are very much allowed now that Aziraphale and Crowley are aligned with emotionally-driven creatures, and, more importantly, each other.

Good Endings by WyvernQuill (T)

A Narrative of Certain Events following the Ending of the World (Except Not Quite), as vaguely hinted at in The Slapdash and Not Very Helpful Prophetic Tidbit of Agnes Nutter, Witch (And Matchmaker.)

"Their lives are in horrible, terrible danger that only we can save them from!" Anathema held up the Prophetic Tidbit. "It says so. Right here." Madame Tracy peered at the page. Raised a meaningful eyebrow. "Dearie, as a woman of, well, considerable experience, I really don't think that's what 'the lyttle Deathe' means in this context..."

"Huh." Anathema squinted. Flipped the page. Read another bit. "....huh."

(Or, alternatively: Eight - give or take - matchmakers trying really, really hard, honest; two clueless ethereal/occult beings mutually pining their endless days away; and one witch, who can't leave well enough alone when it comes to matters of the heart, no matter how many centuries ago she died.)

Time is the Longest Distance by Beckers522 (M)

Six months had passed since the world hadn't ended and life was good. Life was more than good. It was more than nice. Life on Earth, here in his little corner of London, here with Crowley by his side was absolutely wonderful. Until the day that it wasn't. Until Aziraphale walked into Crowley's flat to find his best friend mysteriously discorporated with both Heaven and Hell staying silent on the matter. With Crowley trapped in Hell and Aziraphale unable to reach him, the pair set off to find their way back to each other. They will have to fight against Heaven, Hell, and Time itself to make their way back into each others arms once more.

This is a full-length story based off the comic by the wonderfully talented Lei_sam. If you have not seen it yet, you need to go check it out. Link in the notes section.

Love is a Temporary Madness by Beckers522 (T)

"They'll leave us alone, for a bit. If you ask me, both sides are going to use this as breathing space, before the big one." "I thought that was the big one." "No. For my money, the really big one is going to be all of us against all of them." "What? Heaven and Hell against...humanity?"

The Apocalypse has come and gone, but Heaven and Hell aren't satisfied. They'd tried and failed to enact their revenge once. Perhaps it is time to try a different strategy.

And the two you mentioned (I assume--please include authors and/or links as well as titles!)...

A Memory of Eden by ImprobableDreams900 (M)

When Crowley gets captured by angels and dragged up to Heaven, Aziraphale knows he has to rescue him—no matter the consequences.

The Time Before by M4R4N14MH (G)

The Apocalypse is not long over and Aziraphale is looking forward to a life free of Heaven and Hell and, most importantly, full of a certain Anthony J. Crowley. That is, until reality attempts to set in again. Now Angels and Demons are being murdered, Heaven and Hell are in disarray, and Aziraphale reunites with a friend older than God Herself. Alpha Centauri has never looked so welcoming, in Crowley’s opinion.

Buck zombie x Eddie survivor who keeps him on a chain leash and acts like he's still the bubbly guy he fell in love with (sketch example)

[hisbucky]

Chris, writing in his diary: Year 5, Day 21 since we moved to LA; dad still hasn't realized he's in love with Buck. Not sure about Buck, but he's been showing signs of awareness. It's still too early to lose hope. Note for tomorrow, call Aunt Maddie and ask for more advice.

oh zerxus, how far you’ve fallen to forget your own hubris

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

What if what if I what if if I what if if I could what if I went crazy what then what then what then

I know Sonic does manage to turn into Super Sonic just in time to save everyone after that idw panel, but at the time of reading all I could think was how Classic Sonic had arrived in the nick of time to save him before in Forces

But that this time there is no Sonic to show up out of nowhere to defend him or comfort him🥲😭

for all the haunts and homes of men // buddie // apocalypse au

chapter sixteen

Eddie raised his eyebrows. “Are you in the habit of seeing ghosts?” It was a nicer way of asking if he was more or less insane. 

Buck squeezed his eyes shut, trying to overcome the vertiginous feeling that was threatening to sweep him up and carry him away. If only Eddie knew. “Not a for a while now.”

“Oh, well that’s reassuring.”

Buck lifted his face, and when their eyes locked together, they seemed to get lost in each other. Eddie no doubt trying to diagnose him, or to see if Buck was the kind of person he could trust. Buck, hoping to see past the deep-gut feeling of familiarity of the man he’d just met and realizing that with every second that he looked, his feelings only became more complicated.

🍂 APOCALYPSE BUDDIE MY BELOVED 🍂

aahhhhhh Meegs I know how you love this one! have some of Buck's pov 💕 fun fact this is loosely based on the book "all that's left in the world" which is a gay teen apocalypse story that I LOVED so much

🍂 buddie apocalypse au

He had never met someone so stubborn. Or maybe he had just forgotten what stubbornness was like, how it grated him.

When Eddie had said that he was leaving immediately after finishing the stew (if you could really call it that, it was nothing like the food he used to make), Buck had been surprised. He had seen the state of Eddie's leg once he'd stitched it, and he knew it wasn't going to look any better less than a day after.

Not that he'd checked. He had thought about it, but he didn't want to wake Eddie from his sleep when he so clearly needed it.

So he had let him sleep, letting the thought settle in his mind that Eddie would be sticking around at least a few days until some of the bruising had subsided and he had at least some strength back and with more food in his belly. It was idiotic of him to try and leave now.

What the hell was he trying to get to that was so important he would risk dying for it, Buck thought as he watched Eddie get to his feet like a baby deer. He shook his head lightly as he wobbled, putting his foot down to test it and immediately regretting his choices.

He lurched forward with a loud wince and without thinking it through, Buck did the same, reaching out to catch him and hold him steady.

His hands braced against his ribs and he felt Eddie's hands instinctively clutch at his arms, holding on as he caught his balance and then looking up and into Buck's eyes in a way that scorched him all the way through. Could he feel Eddie's heart beating beneath his hands or was he imagining it? Were there traces of gold flecks in those cedar eyes? Had hands always felt this hot when they gripped his skin? Had he really forgotten what it was to be touched by someone?

He tore his eyes away from Eddie's and gave him a slight nudge towards the couch again, hearing the huff of annoyance leave Eddie's lips as he let himself be guided back down.

Buck stepped away as soon as he was steadily seated, still not meeting his eyes.

He scolded himself for the way his heart thudded loudly against the inside of his ribs, the throb of it reaching his extremities. He clenched his fists to try and drive that feeling away. He couldn't afford to let that feeling get comfortable.

It wasn't like Eddie wanted to stay. It's not like I want him to, Buck chastised himself internally.

pick a wip, and make me write!

Summary:

The world ended on a Tuesday.

Well, Eddie was pretty sure it had been a Tuesday. All of the days had started to blur together at some point, and the little notebook Eddie had that he kept a daily tally mark in was starting to lose space for adding more.

The constant circular cycle of survival had worn Eddie of a lot of the sensibilities he had once had, including telling time. There had been a point in his life where Eddie could just stare at the position of the sun and make a pretty accurate guess to the time on the clock.

Now there were only five times left. Sunrise. Day. Afternoon. Sunset. Evening.

seven several sentence sunday

tagged in various wip games over the last few days by @capseycartwright @alyxmastershipper @dorkydiaz @911onabc @fcntasmas <33333 i haven't written very much at all the past few weeks because i've had exams, but thankfully my last final is tomorrow so i should be starting to write a little bit more!! anyways, here's some apocalypse fic for you all, some calm before The Storm:

"I love you."

It's like all of the air's been sucked out of the bar, making Buck a little lightheaded. Eddie's staring at him, wide eyed, and he just hasn't said anything. The silence drags on and on, Buck's heart hammering away in his chest as he waits for the inevitable rejection that he knows is coming.

"You— you what?"

Buck feels a little bit hysterical. "I love you, Eddie. In a really big, really embarrassing way. I just...I needed you to know that."

"Buck," Eddie breathes, his face neutral and impassive in a way that has Buck's stomach turning. "I—"

"I- It's okay." Buck says quickly, moving to stand, suddenly feeling like he needs to be literally anywhere else. "I know you don't feel the same way, I just needed to tell you because— well, tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, y'know? Anyways," He plasters his best approximation of a smile onto his lips, hoping Eddie can't see the way it's cracked at the edges as he begins to scooch his way out. "I'm meeting Maddie early tomorrow, I should really go—"

A hand closes around his wrist, gentle but firm enough to keep him in his place. "I love you too."

Buck feels like his strings have just been cut. "You do?"

Eddie's thumb sweeps over his pulse point and Buck feels it ricochet in every cell in his body. "How could I not love you? How could anyone not?"
