[ineffableclassics]

Eight months after the world has not ended, an argument drives angel and demon apart. Crowley flees south, to sulk. Aziraphale follows, a week later, hoping to clear the air.

Set along a coast they have known for six thousand years, the pair have to confront some things they have spent a lifetime repressing and figure out if this new world has space for ‘them’ in it.

[aziraphales-library]

Helloo,, I was wondering if you had any fics from the Kingdom of Wessex era. (Or anything really around 537 AD/when they were knights!) Thank you !!! : - )

Hi! Here are some Wessex fics...

A Small Island by CopperBeech (E)

After their unexpected encounter in sixth-century Wessex, the Black Knight -- ahem, Crowley -- has an arrangement he'd like Sir Aziraphale to consider. Aziraphale wants something too, and pursues it with uncharacteristic persistence. “So, given it any thought? Comin’ to some kind of arrangement?” Aziraphale seemed to be considering something in the shadows on the other side of the tent. The candle picked up white-blond lights in his hair, glinted on the Saxon glass beaker half full of cloudy mead. “I have,” he said softly, “been giving thought to a good many things.” “This en’t gonna be one of those philosophical discussions you used to drag me to, is it? ‘Cos it was always dead borin’ till they brought in the flute girls. Bangin’ on all night about the Nature Of Love, an’ that.” “Yes,” said Aziraphale.

you are whatever a moon has always meant by meowremus (NR)

He’s holding out an offer steaming from lingering put-out hellfire, and Aziraphale, God damn him (quite), wants to accept. He thinks of walking home with Crowley and asking him more about his life, tell me everything you do, the horrible bits, even, I won’t complain, I’ll bite my tongue and think of your teeth as you look towards the trees and sin. “Are you tempting me, Crowley?” a knight walks into a bar and orders a pint of mead and an intensely homoerotic conversation with his hereditary enemy.

The Kisses in Wessex by SeedsOfWinter (T)

What if Aziraphale and Crowley throughout the ages, but a first kiss of some kind always happens? In Wessex, Crowley enjoys a pleasant afternoon with his hereditary enemy... ——— Over the years stuck in Arthur’s kingdom, Crowley had indulged more and more in the respite of sleep. They’d fully grown to love it. What they did not love was that sleep getting interrupted. “Not today. Lemme sleep.” “I didn’t come all this way,” he said, “just to be shooed off like a common kitchen boy.” His voice was too prim to be one of Crowley’s troupe. The demon shot upright, tossing aside the sheepskin in their momentary panic. The haze of dream-edges evaporated with the dawn of recognition. “Angel.”

Plausible Deniability by caricari (T)

Crowley pops up to the angel's camp, after their meeting in Wessex, to apologise. Kind of.

Rain in Avalon by Snowfilly1 (M)

"Avalon was old when it wore that name. Old and strange and full of wonder, guarded by holly trees and white stags, garlanded by springs that run with water clearer than starlight and hills that echoed with music even in the silence. ‘They told me Arthur was dead, Angel. That I should get up here and start a war now the Round Table’s broken.’ " Crowley, Aziraphale and the Fall of Avalon. The first time they worked together, and the times when magic was, maybe, still part of the world.

Le Morte D’Aziraphale by Ultramarine316 (T)

During his time with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Aziraphale winds up in an awkward situation and asks for Crowley’s help extricating himself, but the other Knights don’t respond well to The Black Knight suddenly appearing and carrying off their (Fair Damsel) Sir Aziraphale. Hijinks ensue.

11 Good Omens Fic Favorites

a.k.a. I was going to choose my personal top ten but was too indecisive

One of my fandom resolutions for 2023 is to get back into reccing, so here’s a very casual GO rec list to kick things off! Fics are ordered longest to shortest.

As with any rec list, please read the warnings and tags on ao3 and make whatever decisions are best for you. I hope you enjoy!

the bucket list by darcylindbergh (@forineffablereasons)

There was a certain look that Aziraphale wore occasionally—a pinched sort of moue that looked like he’d just taken a very large mouthful of cinnamon—which meant he thought Crowley was being ridiculous. He had put it on. “Hang on,” he had said. “You want us to do human things?” * If you're going to go native, you might as well go all the way.

absolutely stunning, I wanted to take breaks while reading to really let it all sink in, I felt ALL THE EMOTIONS (44k, incomplete, E)

Your Mirror by equestrianstatue (@justlikeeddie)

I'll be your mirror; reflect what you are, in case you don't know. Crowley drummed his fingers briefly against his mug, and then sat back a little in his chair. He gave Aziraphale a long, appraising glance, and then seemed to come to some decision. “Listen, angel,” he said, “let me pitch you something.” Lulled by the familiar patter of Crowley’s voice as he was, Aziraphale still recognised this to be vaguely dangerous territory. He swallowed. “Go on,” he said.

one of the best-executed non-linear narrative fics I've ever read—just masterful, really peels back the layers in their relationship (28k, E)

This Soul Outstreaming by Rend_Herring

“Why did you come here?” Aziraphale interrupts. “Why do you keep doing this?” All the saving, he means, all the chasing after Aziraphale he does. It can’t only be that he’s not keen to endure a replacement. That can’t be it, not anymore. He’s going to get himself in trouble, and then it’ll be Aziraphale’s fault. Crowley’s mouth shuts with a click. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, reaches for the handle of the fork and taps his fingertips against it before setting his hands in his lap. When he speaks, it’s very soft. “Don’t you know?” he asks. Aziraphale, unnaccustomed to his heart refusing to translate why it throbs with such haste, shakes his head.

sad, tender, funny, and romantic with beautiful prose, really just everything you want, so many quotable lines (22k, E)

Lay me down in Eden by caricari (@heycaricari)

Two supernatural entities go for a walk and Crowley gets more than he bargained for.

SO ROMANTIC OH MY GOD in the dialogue, interior monologue, and actions, excellent characterization, so pure (then explicit lol) (17k, E)

You've Got Kudos by curtaincall (@fremulon)

Aziraphale and Crowley both write fanfiction. As it happens, they both write Good Omens fanfiction. Of course, neither of them would ever admit this to the other. (A love story told primarily in AO3 comments)

this is the most meta thing ever lmao, really impressive skins for the ao3 look—pay attention to all the little details like usernames, etc. (4k, M)

build me a city, call it jerusalem by gyzym (@gyzym)

Man begets man begets The Tales of Men, and there's nothing godly in that; Those Above and Them Below haven't any need for the stories humans have been hungry for since the snake and the Angel with the flaming sword.

pre-show fic written in 2012, leans heavily into religious themes and Biblical references, melancholic, spare but beautiful writing style (3k, T)

The Gift by entanglednow (@entanglednow)

In which there is a little wooden elephant, and a long overdue confession.

simple yet checks all the boxes, very very soft and sweet, the DEVOTION, more biblical settings, truly just lovely (3k, T)

Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and Airbnb Superhost by TheOldAquarian (@darkpurpledawn)

What are you supposed to do when you've been fired from your sweet job in Hell for thwarting the schemes of Satan, you've got a swanky flat in Mayfair, and you're looking for an excuse to spend all your time in someone else's bookshop? Obviously, you turn to the dubious world of short-term vacation rentals. The resulting Airbnb property has been variously described as "an instagram trap," "a vampire den but make it botanical," and "the weirdest bed and breakfast in the shared history of beds and breakfasting."

a highly entertaining series of Airbnb reviews of Crowley’s flat—every single one kills me, as do our ineffable duo’s cameos (3k, G)

Kissing, Accidentally. by skybound2 (@skybound2)

Crowley doesn’t mean to kiss him, really. It just sort of…happens. An…automatic response, if you will. An unintended automatic response. Unexpected, even. It’s not planned, that’s what he’s trying to say. ~~~ Or the one where Crowley gives in and kisses Aziraphale while he has him pinned against a wall.

winner of best use of footnotes, hilarious, Crowley is WHIPPED and an absolute disaster of a demon, just delightful (2k, G)

Too Generous by rfsmiley (@redfacesmiley)

“You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes are unchanged; but one word from you will silence me on this subject for ever.” Or: what happened after the [ we all got hit by a ] bus scene (aka "you could stay at my place, if you like")….

the TENSION, the PINING, ahh my heart was in my throat, excellent dialogue, and multiple P&P references (1.5k, T)

Interwoven Footsteps by skybound2 (@skybound2)

It takes them a while to get there. Six thousand years, give or take. But they get there.

criminally underappreciated (probably because it's super short), gorgeous, lush, sweet, their whole story in under 1k words (700, T)

Hi everyone! I wanted to recommend 'Top' by caricari on ao3. It's a first time/confessional fic, that's so lovely and heartwarming (and there is smut...) and features one very brave, very vulnerable demon! (And shout out to everyone who assists on this blog; you're doing wonderful work, cheers!)

My favourite short Good Omens fics of 2022

I love a good fic rec round-up post, and I've read quite a few excellent stories this year. So here are just some of my favourite Good Omens fics under 10k words that have been completed in 2022:

Bi M' Aingeal (Be My Angel) by IneffableToreshi T, 4905 words. Human AU. A very sweet meet-cute with folk musician Crowley and audience member Aziraphale, at which they bond over their shared knowledge of Scottish Gaelic.

Still, a great deal of light falls on everything by caricari M, 8660 words. Melancholic canon-compliant fic (I know!) set in 1970's New York. An angel and a demon meet, have a conversation full of longing and loss. Beautiful and sad.

Small Cock Appreciation Society by cheerios_and_wine E, 6471 words. Human AU. A very gentle character study masquerading as smut. Aziraphale's small equipment turns out to be just what Crowley is after. Both hot and tender.

Tidewrack by TawnyOwl95 E, 6706 words. Human AU. The hilarious, kinky adventures of Crowley the pirate and a freshly captured Aziraphale. Yes, it goes exactly how you expect... or does it? Hot, funny, and very clever.

Scenes from an Italian Restaurant by journeytogallifrey T, 7004 words. Human AU set in 1980's New York, the story of two people reconnecting in the same place, told in a series of beautiful vignettes. Melancholic with a happy ending.

Au hasard Aziraphale by GiggleSnortBangDead T, 6001 words. Fun Human AU in which Aziraphale gets kidnapped... but finds himself not unhappy with his new situation. Roadtrip fic with a bit of a difference.

Entre Nous by snae_b E, 4219 words. Human AU inspired by TV cooking competitions. Crowley and Aziraphale meet in front of the camera, but catch up in a whole different way after recording. Delicious in every sense of the word.
