Good Omens Fic Rec: It Was Always You

A chance encounter during one of the worst times of Ezra Fell’s life reunites him with his once best friend and the one who got away. Though, that would imply he ever had him in the first place. Anthony Crowley and his son, Warlock, relocate to the quieter city of Tadfield from that of London. In the process, manages to find again that one person who always made him feel less alone, the one person he was pretty sure he was never going to speak to again. But the road to true love never did run smooth (something that’s been true from their very beginning). Despite the easy way they fall back into each other, their lives don't seem to follow suit, and if it's not one challenge its another. But despite everything they find themselves facing down, the ten years without each other taught them one thing: they’re better together than they are apart.

*Minor Spoilers* Strap in, because this is going to be a long rec post. This story hit pretty much all my personal buttons on the parent AU side, so I knew it would end up being a favorite of mine. But then, to combine it with such a rich and wonderful story of how Crowley and Ezra grew up together as best friends? It felt tailor-made for me.

Let's start with the present. Crowley is the father of five-year-old Warlock, owns a very successful flower shop, and has moved to Tadfield to be closer to that branch of the business. Ezra has just lost his sister Eliza and is now the guardian to his nephew Adam. Both men are content with their lives, but the memory of their fallout plagues them both. In the past, we follow their entire history—from their first meeting, to new boyfriends, supporting each other through hard times, and the unbearable pain of their unspoken mutual pining.

I loved everything about this story. As parents, they're both amazing. They love being dads, they never see their sons as a burden, and I'm so thankful that this story doesn't cause any unnecessary angst for them in this aspect. Their family is built on love, safety, and trust. I adored the boys, their new routines, and their entire extended family of side characters.

I was fascinated by their past relationships. Every person each of them dated was such a complex and interesting side character. I appreciated how even when a partner is flawed, they're not portrayed as evil—especially Gabriel. Yes, he's an asshole, and he can't take no for an answer, but he's not evil. He does nothing to purposely sabotage Ezra's happiness, which was something I was honestly expecting a bit. The character of Oscar here was a particular standout for me. I also loved how the red string of fate kept connecting them in ways I don't think they'll ever realize. Which is lovely, but also a little silly in that it almost feels like there's only like 8 queer men in all of Britain. But each relationship taught them more about life and themselves, and yes, maybe it would have been easier for them if they confessed their love earlier in their lives. However, that wasn't meant to be; they came together at exactly the right point in their lives. They were meant to have this wonderful family together.

And watching them grow up together? I was glued to every moment. Their family lives were unique and complex. Completely original to this story, which sometimes can feel too removed from canon. But it didn't feel that way to me ever. Or if it ever did, it wasn't a negative. I don't believe this is the kind of story you could scrub out the Good Omens and repackage it as any other couple. Even though technically it should be easy to do with this set up. There isn't that much Good Omens canon in it, but still, this just feels like Crowley and Aziraphale despite how much of an AU it is.

Ok, I gotta stop before this becomes even longer, there are SO MANY plot points I could talk about. But seriously, if you love parent stories or stories of them being friends as kids, this is a must-read. It's satisfyingly long, but also so effortless that you will spend hours in this world, and it'll feel like seconds. The writing is excellent, so detailed that you'll feel like you're actually there, but never gets bogged down in itself. This is now a forever favorite of mine!

More about plant Madrigals.

The type of the plant is showing since the Madrigals are about four months old. Tree based Madrigals' skin starts to harden, turning into a bark, while herbaceous keep softer body. But the direct specie is usually way harder to understand.

Aside from that, tree Madrigal have branches growing from their bodies that can be used as additional limbs. It can be useful, but sometimes can cause problems because of their size. Thick bark also makes it much harder for them to be hurt, but worsening the fine motor skills

Herbaceous Madrigals have leaves growing directly from their bodies. They are much more gentle and easy to hurt compared to normal humans, not mentioning the trees. Instead, they can move faster from being lighter and need less water (compared to trees) as they don't have branches growing from their bodies.

All the Madrigals are blooming when it's season. But the flowers are usually unfertilized, unless there's an actual pregnancy.

I don't have specie for most of the Madrigals yet. Alma is a Wax Palm. Isabela is a Pilosocereus Lanuginosus (A cactus specie). Luisa would probably be a Brazilian nut.

You're free to leave suggestions if you have any ideas.

Au where Shen Jiu's ghost has been silently haunting Qing Jing Peak since Shen Yuan took over. And yeah he's pissed and hurt that everyone prefers the imposter but then Yue Qingyuan in the meeting says it would be better if he was as he was before and eh softens a bit

And he spends most of his time with Yue Qingyuan and sees him mourn in private because even though he doesn't know Shen Jiu has been replaced he knows his Xiao Jiu is gone

But he also spies on Shang Qinghua and the Imposter. Especially post immortal alliance conference and finds out about transmigration and the system and investigates MORE and finds the system

And Shen Jiu does was Shen Jiu does best and because of that when Shen Qingqiu is being accused left right and center in Jin Lan City an angry man with more then a passing resemblance to Shen Qingqiu shows up and says he didnt do any of that and couldn't get because he was too busy being sad and why are you believing a demon anyway? Leave his little brother alone you weirdos.

Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu are the only ones to recognise him because that's the plant body! But that's not Shen Yuan! What the fuck!

Shen Jiu is having a lot of fun and it takes like 3 more seconds for Yue Qingyuan to recognise him

Anyway Shen Jiu lawyers them out of there and Cang Qiong is back home freaking out and ask him who he is:

Shen Jiu: i'm Shen Qingqiu's older brother

Liu Qingge: what's your name

Shen Jiu making deliberate eye contact with Shen Qingqiu: Shen Yuan

Shen Qingqiu: *faints*

Dc au- felt like being goofy

…but since Shadow is raising these plants i think we can classify this as a case of passing on generational trauma.

Good Omens Fic Rec: Hunger

Crowley is delighted when his next assignment as a Teaching Assistant involves helping to run Eco-Lit seminars with the hottest professor on campus, and even more so when Professor Fell seems quite receptive to his flirting. He's literally getting paid to ogle Aziraphale and listen to him read poetry, what could possibly be better than that? Meanwhile, Aziraphale can sense everything young Anthony is feeling and is struggling to resist the greatest temptation he's ever encountered over the course of his long existence.

Note: This is a locked work you must be logged in to view it

*Minor Spoilers* Sure hot professors are hot, but what about hot vampire professors? Crowley is a PhD student in botany, and Aziraphale is a Literature Professor who just happens to be immortal. So when Crowley starts as Professor Fell's TA, it becomes a smoldering push and pull of temptation and resistance. An intoxicating flirtation, that will end in blissful satisfaction.

So how does environmental academia mix with a vampire story anyway? Surprisingly well actually. There's a lot of talk and banter about environmental and societal change, and it turns out that climate anxiety is a very fascinating topic to hear a vampires point of view on! This story has some really clever ideas and philosophical questions, and the setting allows it to talk about those ideas in a very engaging accessible way. It's an AU that knows it's jargon, and you may leave learning a thing or two!

For most of this you'll be fine in public. At the start it is certainly suggestive, but not too explicit. Lots and lots of flirting, daydreams, and temptations. Enough to really get your blood flowing. When it finally gets super steamy you'll know, so savour those bits for some privacy. It's deliciously naughty, but so enthusiastically consensual and tender! Overall, such a fascinating story with some really cool world building and characterization. A win for fans of simp Crowley!

Talking about it... How about au where the Madrigals are half-plants?

Alma and the triplets went through metamorphosis after Pedro's death, grandkids are sprouting like this.

They can do photosynthesis and need to spend a lot of time in the sun. Grandkids were born from the seeds instead of pregnancy. Basically doing all the things plants do.

I'm not entirely sure about the species, aside from Isabela being some sort of a cactus. Alma would probably be a wax palm.

Shen Qingqiu's guide to causing emotional damage to your martial siblings (ft. a bonus under the cut)

[ID: A Scum Villain Comic. The first part depicts, from left to right, Shang Qinghua, Mu Qingfang, Yue Qingyuan, Liu Qingge and Qi Qingqi. SQH has his hands gripped together and looking nervously towards a system screen that has a shrugging kaomoji, a thought bubble leads from him saying "System WTF". MQF with his hands folded down in front of him looks on in surprise. YQY with his hands behind this back, looking slightly on the verge of tears says "Uh, What do you have there Shen-Shidi?". LQG looks on in angry confusion with '???' next to his face. QQQ has one hand curled towards her chest and the other on her hip looking vaguely disgusted/judgy. The next part depicts SJ!Shen Qingqiu holding a baby Plant!Yuan swaddled in his teal outer robe, and holding a closed fan in the other hand replying to YGY with a blank expression by going "... A Fan." End ID.]

[ID: A Scum Villain MSPaint Doodle. Characters in chibi style. YGY rests his chin in his hands and his elbows on a table, crying with a pitiful expression and saying "I can't believe Xiao Jiu had a baby with someone else. MQF with a hand on YQY's shoulder as if comforting him replies "Okay Shixiong lets get you to bed" with another box pointing to him that states "Knows damn well that Shen Yuan is the spitting image of YQY" End ID]

Twins Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan except that Shen Yuan “accidentally” eats a plant that causes his body to age 20 years over night so now Shen Jiu has Shen Yuan pretending to be his and Yue Qi’ dad as they run away from the slavers and start a new life in a quaint little town 3 hours away from Cang Qiong mountain sect.
