Fic Recs #4

Hello and welcome back to the fourth instalment of my fic rec posts! Check out #1 here, #2 here, and #3 here. All of these can also be found in my #fic rec tag!

This post (well, these fics) are brought to you thanks to the work of the wondrous mods over at @aziraphales-library! Check them out if you haven’t already, and give them a big thank you :)

Please do recommend stuff to me! (See at the end for what I like, and of course, I wouldn’t rec these if I hadn’t liked them, so they’re also an indicator of my tastes!)

This post has four long fics and two short fics, with varying tropes and styles!

The Ghost of Husbands Past (E)

by A_N_D (@madenthusiasms)

Az always knew that he’d be thrown out the moment his father found out he was gay. He hadn’t expected to be declared dead though - or for his husband to believe it!

But their marriage had been a foolish teenage impulse (not to mention invalid in America), so when Az moved to a small town far upstate New York to start his new life, he moved alone. The kindest thing he could do was let Crowley mourn and move on, not be shackled for life to a now disabled partner.

Tony Crowley never recovered from losing his best friend, his childhood sweetheart, his better half. He’d been drifting ever since; no plans, no hope, no money - and now, just before Thanksgiving, no job either. 

Given the stark choice of freezing to death or accepting his sister’s invitation to join her upstate, Tony reluctantly lives out the Hallmark cliche of Recently Unemployed Person Moves to Small Town for Christmas.

It’s a time of hope, love, and family.

It’s time for Az and Tony to find each other again.

If you like fics that don’t hesitate before punching you in the gut, this is one of them. From the very first chapter, one is intrigued by the mystery of the whole story, and the events are so unpredictable that I can guarantee you’re in for an eventful ride.

Talk about the weather (M)

by nightbloomingcereus (@moondawntreader)

Television meteorologist Aziraphale Fell and Youtube storm chaser A. J. Crowley have nothing in common aside from a purely professional interest in the weather and a mutually beneficial arrangement to lend a hand when needed. So what if they bicker and flirt more than your typical professional acquaintances, or if their arrangement inevitably veers into more personal territory? It's not as if they're in love or anything. Absolutely not.

Words: 81582 (Complete)

I binged this fic in one evening and it was wonderful. It’s very fluffy, and the whole thing feels like it falls into place naturally. The banter is wonderful, and I’d associate this fic with the word “happy” because that’s what I felt when I was reading it. It’s so nice, and I love human AUs and social media ones - this is a great mix of the two!

The Plantom Menace (G)

by theinkwell33 (@splitting-infinities)

There is an urban legend well known in this area regarding The Plant Man. Footage exists, blurry and ill-lit, of the trespassing fiend, but it never provides a good look at his face. He exists only as a rumor; a giggled whisper in someone’s ear at the pub, an inside joke at uni, and a viral sensation. None of these things mean he is not real. That being said, the only person who can corroborate the truth about the Plant Man is the man himself. And unfortunately, Anthony J. Crowley has no idea that it’s him.

Words: 3608 (Complete)

Short, sweet, and hilariously funny, this fic is a lovely outsider POV one shot featuring mundane events in the ineffable pair’s lives. I’d already read this a long time ago and it cracked me up as much now as it did back then. Filled with funny meta jokes and real humour, this is golden.

An Educator’s Guide to Latin and Lobsters (G)

by theinkwell33 (tagged above)

Aziraphale's been saddled with chaperone duty on a school field trip to the aquarium, even though he's a Latin professor who knows absolutely nothing about fish. One would think it'd be his downfall, but it turns out the only one it slays is one Anthony Crowley, marine biologist and harried aquarium employee.

Words: 3729 (Complete)

Another short story by the same author, with a delightfully harried Mr. Fell and just-socially-awkward-enough Crowley. If you know nothing about fish, like mermaids, or want to read a short and sweet meeting fic, this is for you (no one needs to know which).

Across the Line (T)

by hope_in_the_dark (@hope-inthedark)

Ezra is a student in his final year at University College London, and he’s in love with a man he’s never spoken to. For months, Ezra has been tipping (and pining after) a musician named Crowley every time he sees him. He thinks that Crowley hasn’t noticed him, but Crowley has.  A love story that begins with, of all things, the saving and handing over of a book.  (Written for the Good Omens Mini Bang. Multi-chapter human AU - updates every week until completion!)

Words: 31006 (Complete)

This story is just… fluff. Pure fluff. Tooth-rotting fluff. No conflicts. It’s great! It’s a very cute story featuring a beautiful tale of falling in love, but with some stuff that makes it extra special. It feels real, in a way, unlike many of the stories told in fan fiction (this isn’t a problem, just a statement of fact), and there are small things that make it mean the world to me. Gender non-conforming Crowley, neurodivergent Aziraphale, plus some extra bonus tropes, AND it’s ace… this is sweet and lovely :)

And to finish off this list…

Thieves of Mercy (T)

by Fyre (@amuseoffyre)

The Serpent has a reputation in the art world. A master thief who can wriggle into the tightest spots and extract the most well-protected paintings from the richest people in the world. He’s never even come close to being caught. Except just now. For a crime he didn’t commit. In a museum where he was scoping out his next job. Crowley’s not one to be petty but he’s not about to let anyone frame him, even if the person in question seems to be nothing more than an innocent, wide-eyed art restorer who works in the museum… _________________________________

When Good Omens meets art thievery and heist shenanigans

HEIST FIC! HEIST FIC!

This story is seriously amazing, and I love it to bits. It has art history, found family, snarky jokes, mistaken identity, and everything that comes with the pair being (thick as) thieves! I could rant about this for ages. Don’t test me. (Or please do.) It’s just amazing and unexpected and a nice breath of fresh air after reading so many tropes! (And I like those! But after staying cosy in bed for the whole day, you do have to let some fresh air in, and that’s exactly what this is!) There are twists and turns and plot turnarounds that will leave you dumbfounded, and things don’t necessarily turn out how you’d expect.

This also reminds me of wasteland, baby which I previously recced - it has the same basic atmosphere, but a very different structure!

.

Please recommend fics! I’ll admit I haven’t had time to read many in a few months, but here are my tastes:

I am a VERY BIG FAN of AUs (usually human ones). Give me them!! Coffee shop, fake relationships, social media, soulmates, anything! Of course I like other stuff - and I do have some particular soft spots, notably for the Bentley - so please do recommend anything that you liked, it doesn’t matter whether it’s short and complete, or long and ongoing, or any combination! I’m always on the lookout for recommendations of any sort, so I’ll take most anything (and if you have a doubt, rec it anyway!)

G10 & FR4 Sheet: Cutting Edge Technology in Materials Science

In today’s rapidly developing science and technology field, materials science is gradually becoming a key factor in promoting social progress and industrial upgrading. As an important part of materials science, G10 and FR4 sheet play a key role in many engineering applications, demonstrating the charm of cutting-edge technology. This article will delve into the cutting-edge technologies of G10…

[annatopfast]

Fast data rates on FR4 board material and connectors have become increasingly important in today's technological landscape. FR4, a widely used substrate material in printed circuit boards (PCBs), offers excellent electrical and mechanical properties. However, as data rates continue to rise, the limitations of FR4 in terms of signal integrity and transmission losses become more apparent. To address this, designers and engineers are exploring various techniques to optimize FR4 board performance.

When it comes to maximizing bandwidth and speed using PCB traces, several factors come into play. PCB traces refer to the conductive paths on a printed circuit board that connect various components. To achieve higher bandwidth and speed, designers need to consider trace width, length, impedance, and signal integrity.

One crucial aspect is trace width. A wider trace allows for better current flow and reduces resistance, enabling higher data transfer rates. By carefully selecting the appropriate trace width based on the current requirements, designers can optimize signal integrity and minimize signal degradation.

Impedance matching is also critical for maximizing bandwidth. Impedance refers to the resistance to the flow of alternating current in a trace. By ensuring that the impedance of the trace matches the impedance of the source and the load, designers can prevent signal reflections and maintain signal integrity throughout the transmission line.

When it comes to maximizing bandwidth and speed using PCB traces, utilizing high-frequency signals such as Up to 14.0 GHz / 28 Gbps poses unique challenges. PCB traces act as transmission lines, carrying signals between components on a printed circuit board. To achieve maximum bandwidth and speed, several factors need to be considered.

Firstly, the choice of materials for the PCB is crucial. High-speed signals demand low dielectric constant (Dk) materials with low loss tangent (Df). Materials like PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) or other specialized laminates with low Dk and Df values are commonly used to minimize signal degradation and maintain signal integrity.

Lastly, it is essential to consider the manufacturing capabilities and limitations of the PCB fabrication process. Higher frequencies require tighter tolerances and more precise manufacturing techniques. Collaborating with experienced PCB manufacturers who specialize in high-speed designs is crucial to ensure the best possible performance.

In conclusion, maximizing bandwidth and speed using PCB traces for signals Up to 14.0 GHz / 28 Gbps requires careful consideration of materials, trace design, impedance matching, EMI reduction, trace length, and manufacturing capabilities. By addressing these factors, engineers can optimize signal integrity and achieve the desired performance in high-speed PCB designs.

G10 & FR4 Sheet: Why it’s so Important in Engineering

[vintagerpg]

Secrets of the Magister (2000) is one of the very last Forgotten Realms books to appear for 2E and it reveals, in detail, the long and storied history of the Magister, a topic long hinted at but never satisfactorily explained (FR4: The Magister, 1988, isn’t actually about the Magister, it’s a Pages of the Mages sort of magic expansion).

The Magister is the title given to a single mage at a time. Sometimes, that mage is a champion of magic, the one person in the world chosen by the gods of magic as best suited to spreading the study of the art. Other times, they are the mage that simply killed the previous Magister. This is clearly inspired by James Frazer’s Golden Bough and the idea of “killing the king” and I love it soooo much.

It’s a crap idea for an RPG, honestly — centering a campaign on the Magister either casts the players as perpetual second fiddles to an important NPC, or, if a PC becomes the Magister, has all the other PCs playing second fiddle to them. Neither is ideal, I think.

Still, the concept of the Magister is a delicious one, even just to read. The book charts the history of the office, highlighting its important and interesting holders. What a bunch of doomed idiots! Truly, Greenwood excels as coming up with endless arrogant wizards and ways to undo them. There are so many skulls in the artwork, so many illustrations of people screaming. It is telling, I think, that the most powerful mages in Faerun have stayed well away from this particular fray.

Solid art by David Day throughout. Bit of a daft cover, though — it features part of Fred Fields’ cover art for the third edition of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting box set, which, as TSR art recycling goes, isn’t a major foul. What’s bad is that they used the same bit for the Seven Sisters sourcebook in the SAME LINE. Hate that. Still, this is easily one of the most entertaining FR books I own.

New keyboard & sound test!!! ⌨️

This build took me about 5 hours. Honestly most of the build time was lubing, installing, and tuning the stabilizers. I used all the foams and the PE sheet it came with because I love a nice deep marble-y typing sound. This keyboard feels massive to me (even though it's still "only" a 75%) because I got so used to my 60% keyboard lol. Ahh I love it so much though, and I loooove building keyboards. Oh and the little knob at the top right controls volume! And you can press it to mute/unmute.

Keyboard: QK75 (FR4 plate, case foam, PE sheet, & plate foam) Switches: KTT rose (linears), lubed with 205g0 Keycaps: Osume "year of the rabbit"

[sapper-in-the-wire]

I finally finished my custom keyboard :) it’s my first time making one. Taking apart 69 switches and replacing the springs and lubing each one with a paint brush was certainly An Experience. Totally worth it though this feels luxurious to type on. My phone makes it sounds a bit more harsh than it actually does, it’s actually a very soft and gentle typing sound, like marble pebbles or something. Absolutely insane.
