#good omens fan fic

[lookingatacupoftea]

Read it on AO3!

Aziraphale has been giving the performance of his life for the past five months, averting the Second Coming while searching for a chink in the armour of heaven. It's hard when his heart is walking (sauntering) around below and his brain is betraying him with visions of a different life. Crowley is playing his own dangerous game while navigating new, unsettling emotions. Enter several old and new friends, two important texts, the art of prestidigitation, revelations about the way Her universe operates, and the inescapable tyranny of Christmas music. Can humans, demons, and angels work together to save the world and take control of their own fates when reality seems to be fracturing around them?

This is a full post-s2 fic packed with plot and feelings. The tone and characterizations are closer to s1 while the plot features a mystery that builds on the discontinuities in s2. Heavy on dialogue, light on angst, with a ton of media references. Rated Mature for one chapter with non-explicit sex; other chapters are written Teen and Up. Fully written and beta’d with updates twice per week.

Read it on AO3. Please reblog and let me know if you'd like to be tagged with updates!

Good Omens is a Transformative Work

It has been since the very beginning.

NG (fuck NG) thought of a book plot where a demon finds himself in The Omen movie. But he screws up the baby switch. And the Antichrist grew up as a character in a Richmal Crompton novel. He didn't know what to do with it next. TP offered to buy the story. He changed the demon into a demon and an angel defying their bosses on the earth they both loved. He added his smart whimsy and gave the story a moral core far beyond a silly spoof. When the story was written, queer kids saw themselves in the angel and demon based on the subtext. Because they lived in subtext. Gender fluid and trans readers created stories about an angel and demon for whom gender was a choice depending on how or whether they decided to make an effort. The strangeness of fitting into a planet dominated by beings the angel and demon differed from spoke to neurodivergent readers.

Religious readers found healing after years of struggling to make sense of doctrine divorced from morality. Some ace and aro readers saw the deep and meaningful relationship beyond romance between a pair together over 6000 years. And tons of horny people from all walks of life poured their hearts into smut that made the most of beings whose bodies allowed for a range of sexual practice that would never be realistic for humans.

People who felt rejected or unloved because they were "too much" or "too little", took solace from an angel who didn't mind the gruffness of the demon who couldn't bear to be cruel. And the demon who liked the angel being a little bit of a bastard. If an angel and demon could care for and accept each other for themselves, perhaps it could happen for them too? This is why the Good Omens fandom is so special. Transformation has been baked into his story from the very beginning. Biblical fan fiction, a collaborative story by two authors, a tv show/movie brought to life by a team of actors, designers, writers... And now also entire worlds of fan fiction and art. Good Omens continues to transform itself and the people who love it. And it will always be ours as we continue to transform it for generations to come.

Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley (Rated E)

All the muscles in Crowley’s good-for-nothing, backstabbing corporation are straining with effort— No, not effort, he can't think about efforts, certainly can't think about Aziraphale's—

“You know, I think this colour suits me. I really don’t see why the use of Tyrian purple is so restricted,” Aziraphale sulks, balancing on his right foot and wiggling the toes of his left in the air. He does brace himself on Crowley this time, his fingers clamping down on Crowley's shoulder.

Leave it to Aziraphale to complain about sumptuary laws when Crowley is having a crisis.

--------

Crowley has a very normal time grape-stomping with Aziraphale.

the taste that your lips allow (M; 6/?)

chapter six: ghosts

Summary:

Objectively speaking, Crowley is a good vampire: he doesn't hunt, he doesn't kill, he doesn't bother anyone else with his, erm, condition. He has an arrangement with a family of witches to keep him fed and, well, alive, and he likes spending his endless days alone and unbothered. Perhaps 'like' is too strong of a word, but he tolerates his existence, and it's enough.

Until he meets an angel under the rain. Suddenly, he finds himself wanting more, dreaming about blue eyes and sweet smiles, finding excuses upon excuses to see Aziraphale-like-the-angel, again. Just once more, as he tells himself every time. And it's never enough.

Meanwhile, the vampiric society he's a reluctant part of changes management, and demands more of Crowley: more details about his rather unorthodox methods, more proofs of his suspicious activities, more of himself than he's willing to give.

It's all a mess, really. But at the end of the day, aren't the greatest love stories supposed to be messy?

What you’ll find in chapter six:

Crowley wakes up warm for the second time in his life, and for the second time in a day. 

Must be some kind of record. 

The first thing he registers is his bed. He’s lying on top of his duvet, with his face mushed into his two memory foam pillows. Something warm is lying beside him, and it doesn’t take his brain long to do the math. “Oh, fuck.”

Happy Birthday @gleafer! So, a bunch of us smutgoblins got together and wrote a fic for Gleafer, inspired by Gleafer… Happy Birthday to a GOAD legend. Go and support her on Patreon. This fic is rated E for Exceptionally Smutty. Interdimensional LeakageSummary Googling yourself, especially when you’re a celestial being, is rarely a good idea. But when dimensions bleed into each other, Crowley and Aziraphale get a glimpse into the creativity of the human mind. One human in particular and their astoundingly evocative art, inspire the angel and demon to commence a journey of discovery all about themselves.With thanks to our smutgoblin writers: @doonarose​ @fuzzygoblin​  @ghst-signal​  @kneelbeforeyourdogbabylon​ @smitten-like-anything​ 

[lookingatacupoftea]

My busiest time of year at work + approaching holidays with kids = a bad time to become even more obsessed with my s3 fic. But I can’t stop. I’m writing it or thinking about writing it or fruitlessly hoping y’all will like it ALL THE TIME.

Anyway, if you think you’d enjoy —

A full season 3 fic that incorporates plot and the ineffable relationship

A tone that is heavy on banter and relatively light on angst

A story that builds on the discontinuities and off-kilter qualities of s2

An Aziraphale who is fed up and taking charge

A Crowley who is quick on his feet and ready for action

An off-the-charts number of media references and a crap ton of Christmas songs

— then stay tuned! I aim to begin posting during the winter holidays and the story will be fully written before sharing.

Good Omens Fan Fiction Friday (12/27/24) - Through the Ages

Has anything ever topped the cold open to Good Omens season 1, episode 3? What's not to love about our ineffable pair meeting up through history? And lots of fan fic writers agree. There's an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stories about Aziraphale and Crowley meeting through history. Here are a few I think are among the best: Warning Coloration (T) by Woodswitch is a long-ish one-shot in which Aziraphale knows that the coloration of the serpent of Eden is a warning of danger. And that's not to mention the warnings of heaven. But watching Crawley/Crowley over the ages makes him doubt those suggestions of caution. @veganthranduil in to speak to kindly even to the devil (T) has Crowley exploring the meaning of falling and faith against the backdrop of his Arrangement with Aziraphale. Wonderful dialogue. Another long, one-shot. Tender Morsels (M) by anatomic girl has so many layers. It opens with a drunk Aziraphale confessing love to Crowley over oysters. And the pair have to navigate their feelings over the ages. It goes through the end of season 2 and proposes speculations for season 3. At times, it reads like a fictionalized meta answering questions we've all had. More pining than a Christmas tree farm. And splendid all the way through. In Stolen Moments (M) by @lyricalkris, Crowley and Aziraphale confess their love for each other early on. Unfortunately, Beelzebub and Gabriel keep interfering. It's tender, sweet, and romantic with skippable smut in the final chapter for those who want it (but you won't miss out on the story if you don't read it). Yes, I've recommended 6000 Years in Love by @dreamdust before. And I'll recommend it again. You can't stop me! It's a lovely illustrated story starting in before the beginning. The most recent tale has Aziraphale finding Moses in the bulrushes. It's a work in progress. But each story is distinct and ends. You can hop in anywhere. The stories are sweet and the illustrations are beautiful. Oh, Maker (E) by @voluptatiscausa - from my spreadsheet notes - "Really touching retelling of the moments where Aziraphale and Crowley met starting in Eden. Some very sensual writing. Fun story where Crowley befriends Black aviator Bessie Coleman in the 1920s. Lovely." What else is there to say? So there are my favorite Through the Ages fan fics. What are yours? Reblog and add yours to the list. I'm always looking for new fics to love.

I'll be back next Friday with more great Good Omens fan fics on a new theme. In the meantime, check out my other favorite fics on this pinned post of weekly Good Omens fan fiction recommendations.

[aziraphales-library]

Hello lovely mods! Thank you so much for all the work you put into this library - it's really helped me get into reading fan fiction (especially since I'm rather late to the game)! I've been having a wonderful time going through your cottage and fluffy tags! Do you all happen to have any more recommendations for fics where Aziraphale and Crowley move into a cottage together after the apocolypse? All ratings are lovely, although if you could throw in one asexual fic it would mean the world to me! Thank you all so much again :)

Hello my dear! Have you seen our south downs cottage tag?

Here are some I have enjoyed.

a paradox of love and faith (or the winter of our grace) by Nimravidae for weatheredlaw [rated E, 16k words]

To love is to heal -- that is to say it is messy and inconsistent. Crowley struggles to find closure for past wounds, to yield to the idea that he could be loved as he has loved.

It all comes to a head between relentless nightmares about God and an apple tree that won't grow apples.

Luckily, Aziraphale is there to catch him should he Fall once more.

Causalities include: A greenhouse, an indeterminate amount of plants, and a sense of self and place.

A Better Place For Us To Be by Mackem for dairyme [rated T, 14k words]

A smile spreads across Aziraphale’s face. “You’re not speaking hypothetically, are you?” he asks softly, because he needs to be sure. Because they spent millennia not saying how they felt, and he would prefer never to face that uncertainty again. “Do you really mean it, Crowley? You’d like to move somewhere else? Together?”

“Of course together. There’s no me without you,” Crowley says immediately, his voice low and tender. Aziraphale reaches out to him instinctively with a soft noise, and Crowley lets himself be reeled closer when Aziraphale fastens a hand around his wrist. He chuckles affectionately when Aziraphale nuzzles briefly into his lean stomach, overcome for just a moment by the warmth in Crowley’s voice.

Sometimes he wonders how on Earth he managed to persuade himself that Crowley had ever felt anything other than love for him, when the sheer force of it is like a tidal wave crashing over him, washing away millennia of doubt.

equinox by leaveanote [rated E, 9k words]

Here in the South Downs cottage, Crowley has more than he ever thought he would: the two of them, safe, and he gets to live alongside Aziraphale every day. He still can't bring himself to say it, though, still finds himself wanting, doesn't want to drag the angel down with the mess of his love, doesn't want to ruin what they have.

Aziraphale, however, is getting tired of Crowley staring longingly off into the night sky, and confronts him.

There is more of a balance here than Crowley thought.

***

The angel smiles. That crinkling kindness, that laugh in the corner of him, bright and deathless and pure, and Crowley’s resolve is melting. Aziraphale does remove his glasses now, fingers brushing his temples, folds them into his own pocket, pocketing Crowley’s last defense. Neither of them looks away. The night sounds clutter around them, the sway of elderly oak branches, the gentle scuttle of a village turning itself into bed, reinventing for the next day, the caw and croon of things with feathers, searching for love. A knowing hum in an ancient throat, leaning in.

Something We Were Withholding Made Us Weak by triedunture for subiteveneinorem [rated M, 17k words]

"Yes, exactly. Retire." Aziraphale reaches for the last remaining tartlet brimming with summer berries. "Somewhere along the south coast, perhaps."

Or: Crowley and Aziraphale learn to move in tandem.

An Evening On A Porch by DandelionDrabbles (AnonymousDandelion) [rated G, 500 words]

“Hello, Crowley,” said Aziraphale, eyes popping open. “Where are you going?”

“Oops.” Crowley offered a slightly apologetic smile. “Didn’t mean to bother you.”

“Never a bother,” Aziraphale countered, smiling back at him.

“Mm.” Crowley raised an eyebrow. Aziraphale still looked just as relaxed as before, thankfully, so that gave Crowley free reign to be a pest. “Is that,” he asked, “a challenge?”

~ ~ ~

OR: Aziraphale and Crowley share a soft slice of quiet time and snuggles on a swing.

On the Act of Hair Washing: A Treatise on Love by cheerios_and_wine [rated G, 867 words]

"Thought I'd start by washing your hair." Crowley's voice was almost shy, like he thought it was too much. Like it was exposing part of him to admit it was something he wanted to do.

It was all so new still. This cottage they had bought together. The romantic atmosphere. The freedom to touch. The love openly displayed.

It took reminding sometimes, that this was allowed. That they could give themselves to each other like this.

Crowley washes Aziraphale's hair. After 6000 years of repression, of Heaven's cold barrenness and Hell's crowded filth, simple loving touch feels overwhelming. Some tears are had.

Exodus is back up!

Half of it, at least. 21/51 chapters, to be precise. [LINK HERE]

I took it down because it needed some extra work, and if I can say so myself - it has paid off. And, I wouldn’t have gotten very far if not for several beta/culture readers. You know who you are, and I love you for existing. Thank you for finding me here on Tumblr @goodomensafterdark and on Reddit. Most have come to me after starting to read it, and I am beyond grateful, honored and on the verge of tears for that.

Some people are angry at me for even daring to write this fic (though none of them have actually read it, as far as I know), due to its themes. That scared me for a while, and is most of the reason why I took it down, but a gang of die-hard readers and friends insisted I’d keep writing.

Yes, blah-blah-blah, but what is it about? Two students meet during a lecture at a university in a dystopian, future city and find they have a lot in common despite vastly different backgrounds.

TWs: All the E things, basically. Both realistic recreational drug use and addiction. Past trauma of most kinds, mentions of suicide.

But all shall be well in the end, for love is as strong as death.

And They Were Streamers (M) (1/?)

Aziraphale and Crowley are two polar opposite Twitch streamers who are exceedingly popular in their own ways. Besides their moderators, no one watching would ever guess that they live together. Nor that their feelings run a whole lot deeper than friendship.

i need everyone to take a deep, calming breath

Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley (Rated T)

Something strange is happening to Anthony J. Crowley.

Well, more accurately, something strange is happening to everyone other than Crowley.
