"Ssshut up," Crowley hisses, not bothering to unslump himself from the tabletop. "You're in love with a human, you don't get an opinion."
"Better a human than a loyalist," Sherlock sniffs, and that gets Crowley to jerk his head up.
"Oi! He's not— I mean, he wasn't—"
"He was, then he wasn't, then he was again," Sherlock singsongs, before turning serious. "Once a good little loyal subject of Heaven, always one. Face it, the very fact that he hasn't Fallen means that he will always go back to them."
Crowley cradles his head in his hands, feeling far too drunk for this, or perhaps not nearly drunk enough. "That's not… He wasn't…"
A little tidbit of a scene from a much, much larger AU that I'm honestly not sure will ever get written in earnest, but that has been a project @sheliesshattered and I have circled back to many times over the years
This is post s2 of Good Omens and… somewhere in the BBC Sherlock timeline, probably post s2 but s3 & s4 don't really work with this au. Set in the universe of Tim Powers' novel Declare, though I'm hoping to write this such that you don't have to have read the book (but it certainly helps). Sherlock (and Mycroft, and others) are another form of Fallen Angel who have remained earthbound rather than ever joining Hell, and Sherlock & Crowley are ofc frenemy drinking buddies
More under the cut
For anyone who has read it: After the end of Declare, Andrew & Elena retired somewhere in the UK together, taking on the very common name of Watson. They settled down and had a couple of kids. Twins, in fact. Almost like one person split in two, you might say. Which they try not to be too freaked out about, but also they're really tempting fate when they name the kids Harriet and John, after Harry St John Philby. John (and Harry, to some extent) grows up to follow in his parents' footsteps, including certain secret missions in the mountains of Afghanistan. When he's invalided home, he assumes Declare has no more use for him, until he is contacted once more to be a 'special assistant' on one of their higher-level projects here at home in London, at which point he is assigned to shadow Sherlock & assist him in any way he might need. John doesn't know exactly what Sherlock is, at first, but he's weirdly reminded of some of his parents' stories of 'Our Stepmother' in the USSR, and he's about to learn that Operation Declare is a lot deeper, older, and closer to home than he ever imagined.
That's the starting point of Part 1 of this AU.
For those who haven't read Declare: Sherlock (and Mycroft, and others) are a different sort of Fallen Angel, who never joined Hell after falling from Heaven, but rather made a home wherever they could on Earth, becoming known as nature spirits, fae, djinn, etc. (Djinn is the most commonly used term in the universe of Declare, so that's the terminology John uses, and they are explicitly stated to be fallen angels.) They've been neutral in the Heaven vs Hell war, tho Heaven definitely views them as enemies and Hell views them as… frenemies? Enemy of my enemy? Not worth bothering with? They are largely free agents, with some different powers & limitations compared to angels and demons, since they don't have the power concentration/strength in numbers of either Heaven or Hell behind them, and their own schisms and internal power struggles, separate from anything to do with Heaven and Hell.
Part 2 of the au would be after Crowley and Aziraphale fend off the apocalypse in GO s1 and become free agents themselves. Suddenly, Sherlock has a couple of rogue agents, formerly of Heaven and Hell, in his city, where before they were Officially Posted There, so he (mostly) would avoid them, though he and Crowley have definitely crossed paths before. Those two are very much frenemies, especially since the Notpocalypse. (John, for his part, has largely come to terms with the whole djinn thing. He is not happy to learn about angels and demons in the truer sense, though.)
And this scene here? IDK, Part 3, I guess, but maybe just a little aside for Crowley angst after GO s2, maybe not a whole fic, until/unless there's some interesting fodder for this au in GO s3, thwarting the second coming with Sherlock & John in tow maybe… (and Crowley and Aziraphale having to figure out their relationship while the other supernatural entity/ies around them already have their shit together)

Ghoti of the Deep Beyond
I thought maybe the name of this archetype was a reference to ghosts (considering that this monster looks ethereal and ghostly), but it's actually a reference to one of those fucked up ways to spell "fish." Which is why all of these guys are fish (or fish adjacent, like this guy). It doesn't explain the otherworldly look they went for, but that's okay, because it's still really cool and beautiful regardless. This monster specifically evokes eldritch creatures to me. That probably has to do with the multitude of glowing yellow eyes, serpentine body, and the fact that it's clearly floating through the void of space. Somehow. Man, I think I just really love the celestial void colors present along the length of this monster's body. Idk if those rocks are supposed to be part of its body or part of the background though.
Rating: 10/10
#Ghoti of the Deep Beyond#yugioh#yu-gi-oh#ygo#Synchro Monster#Effect Monster#Water#Fish#The Japanese name being 'Goutisu' definitely contributed to my thinking that the name was supposed to be a play on 'ghost'#How do I know the katakana spelling of ghost you ask? Well.... -holds up Haunter-

“Ghoti of the Deep Beyond” is named after ghoti, a humorous alternate spelling of the word fish. Additionally, this name is fitting due to this card’s Fish typing.
#ygo#yugioh#Yu-Gi-Oh!#puns#wordplay#yugiohpuns#fish#ghoti#tbh the word ghoti is a good example of the chaos that is english orthography#I'd go into it more but I don't want to bore anyone looking for card art lol#Also I'll try to find better art for this card in the future..

Hear me out, vaggie leaves right? She gets 'kicked out' right?? So like, there's only 199 of them now-
So Sera decides to make another exrocist to make it even and makes BISH, making beer the actual youngest out of EVERYONE and she gets thrown in with ghosi and whoever else is in her sister group thing, whoch is why their a group of 4 instead of 3
I love that!! So because Charlie got attached and wanted Ghoti (pronounced Fish) to live, I shifted around the groupings a bit. Bish’s group now consists of them, Wish, and Dish.
I can see Bish being created and Wish and Dish taking them under their wings and bringing them into their sibling group, since they’re the youngest two exorcists besides Bish. They didn’t want to leave their new little sibling floundering and trying to find a place among groups that had been established for over a century.
Oh that only makes the hotel battle worse. Bish only being three years old and being shoved into a life or death fight where both Wish and Dish are killed right in front of them.
They’re alone. They don’t have anyone else in the flock. They’re all over a century old, they’re just three. They don’t fit without Wish and Dish. Thats why they get forgotten the way they do. The rest of the flock are far more concerned with the people they’ve been with for over a century than the one they’ve barely known three years.
