crowley might’ve gone through the “drink wine and eat ice-cream and watch pride and prejudice on repeat” break-up phase after aziraphale went to heaven but he wouldn’t admit that to anyone

Planning a Good Omens fic and I've been forced to accept that 'romcom au' is not, in fact, a plot, and I do actually have to come up with one. I'm greatly disappointed by this revelation and I may need 3-5 business days to recover.

(But seriously if anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them, plots are my worst enemy)

no, nononono, get humans wet and staring into each other's eyes — vavoom! sorted. i saw it in a richard kurtis film.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love ❤

ahhh don’t mind if i do!! thank you, B 🫶🏻

unicorns, and other extinct animals

The first letter Gale gets from Bucky is about a unicorn. He thought Bucky wasn’t the type to write letters. It seems he is, at least if they’re to Gale.

probably goes without saying, but god i’m so proud of this one. i think im due for a reread.

flak-happy, fancy-free

The war is over, but some questions remain about where Gale and John go from here.

this was my first mota fic, and i am still really happy with the prose in it. (i actually read a fic way back when that had a lot of similar prose. like im not saying they copied me since they changed the wording here and there, but it’s very clear where they found inspiration. flattering? hmm!)

help me darling, don’t let go

Healing isn't a linear process, old habits die hard, and sometimes it gets worse before it gets better. But with a little patience, and effort, and strategic Floor Time, Ed and Stede will find their way.

this isn’t my most popular ofmd fic, but it’s probably the one im proudest of out of all the ones ive written for this fandom (somehow ive written 18 for it).

Muscle Memory

Aziraphale has questions about sex. Crowley has answers, and examples, and demonstrations. He definitely doesn't have feelings.

i’ve read good omens fic for yearssss before i finally decided to try my hand at it (thanks to @heidiamalia for encouraging me!) and i still love this one to pieces.

Prospect

After Kansas City, Joel and Ellie agree it'd be safer if people believed they're father and daughter.

i really love this fic (actually reread it the other day, even) but especially because, according to my readers, i made them actually care about and enjoy the OCs in it.

I lowkey think Crowley watches romcoms to melt over the parts that remind him of Aziraphale

Alright alright alright! The cover isn’t done and I’ve only posted part of Chapter 1 on my Patreon (more pages to be uploaded this weekend)

Work has been busy so Moonlighting *slams office door* (see what I did there) has taken a backseat briefly.

BUT I wanted to share the intro to my 80s romcom parody comic “Come With Me If You Want To Live!”

This is rated pg-13 like all great 80s flicks so all tiers will have access to the mullet fest!

Enjoy!

oh god OH God right so crowley's comment about the richard curtis film? just hit me that he's possibly (probably? im assuming crowley is talking about screenwriter credits here) talking about the ending of four weddings and a funeral (bold choice) and i am reeling bc if im reading into this correctly neil really is letting the narrative punches fly

so i dug through the yt archives to find the ending that id all but suppressed in my memory (andie macdowells acting in this brings me out in hives, crowley is such a hero for making it through this film) and-

right fuck it let's just basically do a basic transcript of it:

carrie: "i just wanted to check you're okay, not busy... killing yourself or anything, but you're fine so... i shouldn't have come to the church this morning. im sorry-"

charles: "no, no, wait- it was all my fault, i- i- im the bastard here! and it definitely sorted out one thing; that marriage and me are very clearly not meant for one another... sorted out another big thing as well- there i was, standing in the church and for the first time in my whole life, I realised i totally and utterly loved one person, and it wasn't the person standing next to me in the veil, it was the person standing opposite me now, in the rain."

carrie: "...is it still raining? i hadn't noticed..."

charles: "the truth of it is that i loved you from the first second i met you... you- you're not suddenly going to go away again, are you?"

carrie: "no... i might drown, but otherwise no!"

charles: "okay, okay, we'll go in... but first! let me ask you one thing... do you think that after we've dried off, after we've spent some more time together, you might agree not to marry me? a-and do you think not being married to me might be something you'll consider doing for the rest of your life?... do you?"

carrie: "...i do."

okay so now that you and me, reader, have had to suffer through that, i am just in shock that this, this, is the scene to which crowley is potentially referring. im not saying that he takes it as absolute inspiration for his romantic scenario idea, bc i think he is just covering for what is his own personal fantasy... but boy is it potentially insightful. as ive said before im fairly certain that whilst he was fascinated and amused by aziraphale, i certainly don't think he fell in love on the Wall like he would like to think, in retrospect, that he did.

so let's board this train hurtling along the rails of that particular thought (ie stick with me), crowley really seems to be deluded as to the love story he and aziraphale share... to the point that in ep2 when he makes the curtis remark, we can infer that whilst he may have been subconsciously reconciling his actual feelings of More with aziraphale for a long time, and only fully accepts and declares them in ep6, he's looked over their history as being more than it actually is. because this script? is not even close to what happened on the wall.

like, first of all - aziraphale is not at all andie/carrie (a divine mercy, truly). aziraphale is not passive, however much he plays into it with his damsel-in-distress syndrome, and certainly is not dim and virtually silent. aziraphale always has Things To Say. and crowley, until ep6, does not wax lyrical about his feelings, his innermost thoughts, and certainly not as 'poetically' (see: cheesy af) as a curtis script. in his playful moments he is an outright dork, but not like this.

now this bit? im going to be fanciful and fanfic-y, and very clumsy in how i put this across... but replace the context for a moment:

charles: "no, no, wait- it was all my fault, i- i- im the bastard here! and it definitely sorted out one thing; that belief and love for god and me are very clearly not meant for one another... sorted out another big thing as well- there i was, standing on the wall and for the first time in my whole life, I realised i totally and utterly loved/believed in? one person, and it wasn't the person standing in front of me when i fell, it was the person standing opposite me now, in the rain."

im not going to double down on the red bits, because it is ridiculous, but the vague idea? insane! insane to intimate that he replaced the void that was his belief system, the divine love he now lacks after falling, the betrayal he feels from god, with aziraphale! goodness crowley, this is not healthy, my guy! and then:

charles: "the truth of it is that i loved you from the first second i met you... you- you're not suddenly going to go away again, are you?"

no, i don't think you did, crowley bud- but you are definitely lonely. and lonely not even in the sense of isolation, but lonely in the sense of lack of purpose, possibly guilt and shame, and the inability to understand (or accept that you do understand) why you're currently in the position you're in. but aziraphale is not the replacement for that.

he's not there to fill the spaces where you're barely holding yourself together. you literally end up spending millennia apart in between your run-ins, and get along with it just fine... or maybe aziraphale does, but do you? is why you do the things you do, did what you did; because of this fear?

(when did i suddenly start addressing crowley directly, ah well i cba to rewrite)

charles: "okay, okay, we'll go in... but first! let me ask you one thing... do you think that after we've dried off, after we've spent some more time together, you might agree not to marry me? a-and do you think not being married to me might be something you'll consider doing for the rest of your life?... do you?"

the arrangement? aziraphale be in crowley's company all the time, stop him feeling lonely and make him feel wanted, but not commit to anything more than crowley can handle?

all im saying is that i hope noone dares show crowley the confession from julia roberts in notting hill without giving him a bottle of talisker and a litre of häagen-dazs first 💀

[oldbutchdaniel]

david tennant getting a bafta nomination for good omens is like when the academy nominates actors they’re about to gently put down after a lifetime of service to making media and committing to the bit. like david you had a good run …….. surely good omens is the last thing you’ll ever do and we just wanted to say, from the bottom of our hearts, thanks for everything
