The Arms of the Angel

An Aziraphale/Lucifer fic for GOAD's Rare Pair week! Careful! It's SPICY!!

Rating: E

Summary:

Crowley is trapped in Hell.

Lucifer offers his release if Aziraphale is willing to spend one night with him.

When things heat up, Aziraphale finds that feelings can get confusing when you make a deal with the devil himself.

Excerpt:

“Did he ever tell you how I would make him see a different kind of stars? No? Well, no matter. It all comes down to this. What are you willing to trade for him that would make it worth my time?”

Aziraphale’s eyes snapped back to Lucifer’s, a frown wrinkling his brow. “Trade?” he asked, confused. “Why, I’ve already said!  Heaven and Hell, on their own sides…”

“Yes, yes…” Now Lucifer seemed bored, prowling towards the bed with his hands clasped behind his back as though he were losing interest. “But that’s more of a mutually beneficial stalemate between sides, isn't it? I mean, what are you, Angel of the Eastern Gate, going to do for me, the Morningstar, to convince me to give him back to you.”

Fiends at the Funfair:

Two demon couples find themselves at a local autumn funfair and a little wager is made between them. Things don't go quite as expected, but hey do they ever when Shax, Furfur, Hastur, and Ligur are involved?

For rare pair week @ghst-signal and I had to team up to bring you a fun and silly fic of our favourite couples; The Maggot Husbands and ShaFur. We had a lot of fun writing this and we hope it will bring a smile to your face. 💚

Rating: Teen for swears, some alcohol use, and tobacco smoking

Tags: Fluff, Humor, POV Third Person Omniscient, Bets, Games, Romance, Maggot Husbands, No there are no actual , maggots in the fic it's just their ship name we promise, also they are married in this, Shafur, Demons Being Cute, Awkward Dates, No retail workers were harmed in the making of this fic but they will feel very perceived.

Excerpt: “Okay, spill it. I know that look,” Furfur said to Shax, then glanced at Ligur, who was whispering to Hastur and wearing a treacherous grin. “What have you two been concocting?”

“We made a bet. You and Hastur are going to compete against each other. Whoever wins the most prizes for us at the various games here will be the victor,” Shax answered.

“Only if you're up for the challenge, plushy,” Ligur chimed in.

Shax straightened her posture, lifted her chin and assertively said. “Oh, he is.”

“Am I?” Furfur gulped, but when Shax showed him her sharp teeth he quickly added. “Seems I am,” and drained his glass.

“You’re going to lose, plushy! You’re a LOOOSEEER.” Hastur cackled.

"Hell to Pay" A one shot that wrote itself without asking my permission, thanks to a dastardly prompt on a GO discord. For anyone who writes, you know what I mean!

Summary:

Crowley is ambushed by multiple angels and tortured almost to annihilation by a holy weapon. He makes it back to Hell and Lucifer finds him barely in time to save his life. But such an attack can not be allowed to stand unanswered. Lucifer will make sure there will be literal Hell to pay by the angels who went after his demon. And Crowley will also need taking care of. Of course. And Lucifer is very good at caring for his demon as well.

(yes, it's rated 'E'. But for anyone not interested, or too much of a minor, you can skip the smut and it'll be an absolutely complete story that's rated 'M' for violence and some swearing. Just stop after Gabriel finishes thinking extraordinarily Gabriel thoughts, it'll be obvious 😂) ---------------------------------------------- Excerpt:

Crowley was fairly certain there weren’t supposed to be two Shaxes at reception as he made his way back through Hell. Or two desks.

Then again, he wasn’t supposed to have to use his hand to hold his abdomen together either. At least it was only the one knife-size gash and he hadn’t been eviscerated clear across it like he would have been in the old days. That would have been awkward, he thought. 

At least backs didn’t need to be held together like abdomens, he thought next, because then he’d be in real trouble, because his was sliced to ribbons under his jacket. And his jacket really fucking hurt to wear right now too, but there wasn’t a chance he was going to walk through Hell with his injuries actually visible, no matter how much it hurt to hide them.

Seeing double was making it rather hard not to run into the walls though, because there were two of them as well. He figured it was because of the raging fever he had, thanks to that infernal holy blade. Actually, a “fever” was a bit of an understatement at this point. It more felt like every nerve in his body had been doused in petrol and then lit with a match. 

Or the massive amount of blood loss. That might have something to do with his double vision as well.

And he could sense the anticipation of the other demons.

It was a long way between here and that centre of the bottom circle, and normally, a demon in as weakened a condition as he was in, would be ripe pickings.

But everyone knew where he was headed, and who resided in those far reaches of Hell.

And not a single demon dared touch Crowley, tempted as they were.

But he could still feel them trail in his wake, and it was unnerving, especially given how much pain he was in and just how vulnerable he really was. A couple of them came close enough that he actually reflexively attack-hissed at them, and they bolted, terrified. But the defensive action dropped him to his knees, shaking in pain and disorientation, and when he staggered back up, he wasn’t sure how much farther he could push himself.

Drenched in sweat, his vision disappearing sometimes entirely, he continued on purely by muscle memory, finally stumbling down the stairs to the bottom circle of Hell. It was thankfully, always abandoned, and Crowley let himself collapse to the floor and lean against the cool stone of the wall. 

He had to take a break. Just a short one.

He was so tired, and everything hurt so much.

He squeezed his eyes closed, arching his back slightly against the agony that suddenly surged through him, giving in to breathed whimpers of pain now that he was alone. He slumped all the way down as the wave crested and the fire settled back to where it had been. Except he could feel it keep eating deeper, eating away at him, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.

He lay on the floor, breathing rapid and hot, not even aware when his body pulled him into unconsciousness mere moments later in a growing pool of blood.

He’d been so close to getting where he needed to be.

He wasn’t aware when Lucifer gently picked him up out of that pool of blood, fear and anger stamped on his face, and quickly carried him the rest of the way to their quarters at the centre of the bottom circle of Hell.

......................

The entire glass front to the Earth-based building, where the escalators leading to Heaven and Hell were located, shattered in one spectacular shower of rainbow shards ahead of the two demons who did said shattering. Behind them came another four demons, each dragging an unconscious, bloody angel in their wake.

They hadn’t needed to enter from this direction. Given the escalators’ existence, it was entirely superfluous.

But that was the entire point.

The entire point was to make as spectacular and noisy and dramatic an entrance as possible.

Lucifer wrenched a piece of the now-empty steel window framing out of its location, and used it to bang on the escalator that led up to Heaven.

“Oh Michael! Gabriel!” he called, “Uriel, you might want to come down before I come up!” He banged a few more times, and the sound reverberated far more than would be expected. “You have exactly twenty seconds to get your imbecilic, archaic, white-feathered, fussy, TORTURING arses down here, BEFORE I START BLOWING THINGS UP!”

……

“FIFTEEN SECONDS! You know I don't bluff!”

Fawning For You

Title: Fawning For You

Pairing: One-sided Crowley/Furfur

Rating: T

In honour of GOAD's rare pair week, I've added a new chapter to my Crowley/Furfur fic, as I thought these two had some unfinished business they needed to hash out.

Enjoy! (Beware the angst)

Excerpt:

“What would've happened,” Furfur whispered, his voice fracturing, “if the angel hadn't come back?”

Crowley went very still.

“If he hadn’t walked in at that moment,” Furfur said, stepping closer. His voice wavered despite the venom he tried to pour into it. “You tried to kiss me, Crowley. Don’t act like it didn’t happen.”

Crowley flinched, his gaze darting away. 

“If the angel hadn’t interrupted,” Furfur preseed, moving closer again until they were toe to toe, his eyes blazing, “how far would it have gone?”

TW/CW: Pre-Fall Angst and Smut

🎧Listen Here!🎧

Summary:

The first time I caught sight of you in the darkness of the budding universe, starlight tangled in your hair, the brightness of creation shining in your eyes. How I had wanted you, there and then. The yearning possessed me, ached in my core, intruded on my thoughts. I passed the nights in my quarters, feeling every needling second as I waited for the appointed time to return to the stars beside you.

If you like the pod, throw love at the original fic too!

Your Colours Were Like My Dreams

Written for @goodomensafterdark Rare Pair Week

Rated G

Contains off screen canon death of a character, Grief. Angst with a happy ending.

Summary: When the holy water hit, Ligur wasn't the only one destroyed. Down in Hell, Hastur's frog learns of what happened and begins to mourn

Excerpt - From her first conscious moments, when she'd first laid eyes on Rugil, her heart had been as technicolour as her loves skin. Now, with him gone, she could feel the colour drain from it, turning as monochrome and sickly as Hell itself.

Tags: POV Aziraphale, Post Second Coming

Summary: Aziraphale was sent to find Sandalphon and deliver a message. The Alps were beautiful, but he would have rather been tracking the wayward angel down someplace warm. This was born out of a three-word Thursday Sprint Prompt from the Writer's Guild. My prompt was cerise, yodelling and puppy.

RULES — #criaturisma.

last updated dec. 24 / 2024.

1. MUN INFO.

hiya ! mun is 21+ and in eastern standard time (utc+5). i’ve been writing for over a decade. i am a full-time student with two jobs. safe to say i’m up to my knees in work quite often. this blog runs on queue & i am heavily inactive on tumblr — discord is the best place to reach me. expect thread replies 1-2x a week. i am highly selective & will rarely reply to unsolicited rp requests in tumblr dms.

2. WRITING PREFERENCES.

i am a literate, multi-para to novella writer (500 - 4000 words). you do not have to match length, but please give me something tangible to work with! third person, past tense, proper capitalization and grammar. i have severe visual impairment — overly stylized text is incredibly difficult for me to read. i do not roleplay on dash for this reason and likely never will. discord only.

i have few limits and triggers. however, i will not write trauma porn for the sake of it. i appreciate dead dove and dark topics when they have a narrative purpose, as is often the case with my own muses. everything is always up for discussion besides explicit non-con & underage between our muses.

i am comfortable writing nsfw or simply fading to black. it’s your preference. however, i do not write nsfw just for the sake of it or as the entire plot in itself. i prefer some substance to things just to sustain my own interest.

i write all pairings and dynamics: m/f, f/f, m/m, and non-binary characters aplenty. as a lesbian, f/f plots have a special place in my heart. i am very picky about picking up m/m plots and while it is something i write, it will be much more rare i ever do so. i also love non-romantic plots, so feel free to suggest platonic or familial connections too!

i do love lesser utilized fcs & fcs of color. i will often prioritize using them myself, so it’s highly unlikely i will play a wanted face for you if it’s a highly well-known actor — i am not a beacon of tailor-made, well-curated self-insert erotica. i do often come with pre-existing muses, and it is rare i will come up with someone new for our plot (unless i really like you lol).

3. GENERAL GUIDELINES.

please do not spam me — i am very busy, this is a hobby, and i hate to feel like our plot is a chore. i’m usually very good about ooc chitchat and maintaining replies on a weekly basis. however, i can get unexpectedly very busy. after two weeks of no reply, feel free to bump me. otherwise, please be understanding! i will also bump you if there’s been no reply for ~2 weeks, and will assume no response = you’ve dropped the plot. chronic ghosters (we’ve replotted 2+ times to no avail) will be blocked.

mun ≠ muse. i do not believe what is written in fiction translates into someone’s true character (except for certain subjects). i understand certain topics can make people uncomfortable. please be open + honest with me about triggers and limits!

i do not write with writers who solely prefer to play female muses (unless you are an f/f only blog). it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. i will block users who send me unsolicited dms or like my ads without reading my rules & only write female muses. similarly, if you dm me faceclaim-chasing a male muse i will not engage + block.

i do not double-up. please do not ask — it’s uncomfortable to feel like we’re only writing because we “owe” one another something, and not for the enjoyment of the hobby. goading, baiting, begging and/or guilt-tripping me into doubling will get you blocked.

i will block folks who only write with “cisgender females” or engage with similar terf rhetoric.

i will block smut-centric blogs who post misogynistic kink.

i will write just about any genre except supernatural & high fantasy ( with the exception of hotd ). some of my favorite genres incl. apocalyptic / post-apocalyptic, dystopia, corporate drama, period dramas, western, and psychological horror. i do also love slice of life, but am pickier about taking them on to avoid plot plateaus due to lack of character development.

4. MISC.

BANNED FCS.

euphoria cast (except hunter schafer & barbie ferreria).

the jenners, the kardashians, the biebers, all that mess.

IG models / influencers / streamers / singers.

sabrina carpenter, taylor swift, other singers, etc.

ben affleck, johnny depp, leonardo dicaprio, matt damon.

love island cast.

margaret qualley, dianna argon, alycia debnam-carey, adria arjona.

nicholas chavez, evan peters, austin butler.

gal gadot, odeya rush, any “israeli” actress.

My GOetry for Rare Pair week

About the Friendship between Aziraphale & Saraqael post season 2.

Rating: General

567 words

Summary:

Saraqael feels lonely in Heaven's headquarters. Will the arrival of the new Archangel bring a change to that?

Excerpt: Through endless halls of Heaven’s quarters, I float to another meeting and I wonder: Do I have any friends in here at all, Or did I lose them all during the fall? As I look out over London’s skies, It takes all I have not to burst out and cry, Feeling the vast and endless loneliness Reflected back to me on the glass.

This week’s prompt:

Form: Narrative Poetry

Theme: I challenge you this week to write about a rare pair you haven’t written about before. It doesn’t have to be romantic—friendships are absolutely welcome too! If you’ve only mentioned them briefly or sprinkled them into one of your fics or poems, that’s totally fine, but I’d love for you to try focusing on other characters from your usual favourites.
