#rare pairings

[master-of-the-game]

Reason? Sorry, there isn't any. But actually just imagine. Post canon. They somehow managed to take Dukat out of Fire Caves with his mind fully recovered. What does he do? Or course, he immediately starts to flirt with the doctor who helped him to recover and treated him...

IT IS TIME! Rare Omens 2025 prompt list is here!

Thank you for your patience!

AO3 Collection: Rare_Omens

Don’t like a prompt? Skip it!

YES, YOU CAN SHARE THIS PROMPT LIST ANYWHERE! Discord servers, subreddits, facebook groups—wherever Good Omens fans are hanging out having a fun time with all the characters we know and love.

Don't see your fave pairings? THAT'S WHAT FEB 28 IS GREAT FOR! Go wild! I long to see your crack ships. Reverse Omens, Good Omens multiverse meetups (like Book Omens + TV Omens), Character x Reader, and Crossovers are ALL welcome on that day as well.

And thank you for 5 years of this. I tend to see about 10 people participating each February, and YOU ALL make me so very happy. It's great to be in this fandom creating with you. YOU'RE the reason we're back again.

SOME BEHIND THE SCENES

This year, I'm trying something a little different than I have in the past. Typically I'd try to space out the prompts in a way that allows repeated characters (minus Crowley and Aziraphale) to have a some time between them. But this year I said LET'S DO THE OPPOSITE!

So you'll maybe see some stretches in the month where similar characters have a few of their days to shine. This is a feature not a bug.

Yes, I am looking forward to several days of +Gabriel/Jim/Jimbriel at the end of February, giving you all a nice long lead time on those. :3

And of course, I always look forward to the reason this whole prompt list started FIVE YEARS AGO!!!! My fave crackship—inspired by the Hard Times cold open when a young lance corporal practically eyefucked a demon in the streets of Soho: Crowley + Shadwell. Bring them to meeee!

All right, I hope you have some inspiration for next month. I'll list the full text and daily prompts under the cut. I'll post reminders HERE and possibly Bluesky and Instagram. But I'll reblog from everywhere if you tag @rareomens. That's on tumblr, bluesky, twitter, instagram. But here is the place I'm mostly likely to see and get your lovely creation out to others.

[crepesuzette2023]

In honor of @ilovedig's Birthday: some Beatles fanfics with rare (read: beyond 'straight' mclennon) pairings and unusual POV's!

McHarrison

The @beatleskinkmeme Summer of Love Fanworks Collection has some great new McHarrison fics.

Grateful for Him (@johangeorghohman). Five times George regrets John is in Paul's life, and one time he's grateful. An absolute heartbreaker of a story—so beautiful.

Invisible String (@scurator). Paul and George meet again at the Venus and Mars release party. They moved on; they will always belong together.

Knocking at Your Door (@eveepe). Paul and George kissing through the years, from childhood to Anthology. Special appearance by Paul's eager little prick (and you know I'm sold).

-----

Polycule Beatles

The same collection also has fantastic stories about the Beatles as a four-sided love story:

Deeper than oceans you run (@wonderwall1968). The four of them are reeling in the aftershock of a health scare. A dark, dream-like, intense story. John POV.

Everybody Loves Somebody (@bewareofdarkness). Soulmark AU: The four Beatles are meant to be together. But it doesn't happen without a hitch.

-----

Paul McCartney/Mal Evans

You Won't See Me (@swinginglondon42). Mal is in love with Paul, and can't see he moved on.

-----

John Lennon/Keith Richards

Emotional Rescue (@ohjohnnysblog). Near wordless comfort in the aftermath of a party—and Brian's death.

-----

George Harrison/ Yoko Ono

Miss Oh No (@aquarianshift). Yoko and her obsession with "real men" meets George and his resentment of the band he's nevertheless willing to protect from her. Brief, tense and hot encounter.

-----

John/Paul/George

I'd Love to Turn You On (sleeprettydarling). George knows Paul and John are lovers. He's curious. They show him.

-----

Brian Epstein/ Alistair Taylor

Another Kind of Love (Naraht). Lovely story about deep friendship and loyalty.

-----

George Harrison/ Bob Dylan

On the Avenue (@aquarianshift). Two weird men desire each other. George's soul splits from the Beatles. Dream-like and strange, but absolutely grounded in sensuality.

-----

George Harrison/John Lennon & George Harrison/Paul McCartney

Sour Milk Sea (You & You & Me) (cloudy_blue). John and Paul and George through the years. Relationship study.

-----

George Harrison/John Lennon

At Mercy (@eveepe). George and John are girls and in the same band. John was never more John than in this story. "How was I?"

-----

Paul McCartney/ Peter Asher

still mates (@pauls1967moustache). Perennial favorite, because it makes so much sense for Paul and Peter to have a misguided one-night-stand while Lennon/McCartney are falling into Mount Doom. If you didn't think you could fall in love with Peter Asher, think again. He's brave and wonderful in this story.

-----

Paul McCartney/ Donovan

Bound to be the very next phase (downtothelastdrop). Paul satisfies his curiosity in Rishikesh.

-----

Paul McCartney/ George Martin

Fixing A Hole (@m1ssunderstanding). Very much a George vs. Jim story.

-----

Linda McCartney/Paul McCartney/Denny Laine

Red Light, Green Light, Strawberry Wine (@savageandwise). Another all time favorite. Linda POV. A hot and angry threesome while Paul is waiting for John to call him back again.

-----

Unusual POV's

The Macs (@revollver). 1969 'we eloped to Scotland' John and Paul through the eyes of Mike McCartney.

Playing the Mind Guerilla (Anonymous). John and Paul through the eyes of George, Stu, and (wait for it) Nigel Walley.

I've Seen You, Beauty (bakerstreetafternoon). Paris '61 John and Paul through the eyes of Jürgen Vollmer.

Another Girl (@boshemians). AHDN Beatles through the eyes of Astrid Kirchherr.

Why Buy the Cow (RedheadAmongWolves). Early Days John and Paul through the eyes of the milkman.

I only have eyes for you (ififellinlovewithyou). John's collage and body horror.

Butts and Beatles: What the Ciggie Carton Saw (@waveofahand). The Beatles through the eyes of their cigarettes.

-----

Paul McCartney/Yoko Ono; Paul McCartney & Yoko Ono

Raglan Road (@savageandwise): Paul and Yoko make love after John's death. "He was their shared language. He was their lexicon. Their language was John."

White Swan, Black Swan (@savageandwise). Companion piece to the above. Yoko writes a poem to Paul. Incredible. This is the stuff I live for.

mesmerized by mythology (peculiar_mademoiselle). Paul and Yoko through the years.

Opposites (Selena). 1975. A visit from Paul and Linda to the Dakota. From Yoko's point of view.

Regeneration (@scurator). Yoko and Paul as widows. Paul is flirting. Yoko is not disinclined.

a great threat (@pauls1967moustache). Paul and Yoko are both women, and artists, and John's partners, and it makes everything so much worse.

modern love (caesdoublesteps). To break the angsty mood: Paul and Yoko meet to discuss her handing over the movie Self Portrait. Yoko POV; very amusing!

-----

Paul McCartney/Stuart Sutcliffe; Paul McCartney & Stuart Sutcliffe

The Bass Lesson (@aquarianshift). I sill stop reccing this hot, awkward, throbbing-with-resentment Paul/Stu sex when I'm dead.

Baselines (cloudy_blue). Stu hands over his bass guitar to Paul.

-----

And finally: Some @ilovedig Originals!

I Lost My Little Boy (Paul/Ian James, Paul/John). The Woolton Fete, but it starts as a date for Paul and Ian James.

Jane Did an Interview (Paul/everyone). Open-ended series with self-contained chapters. Old Paul and a possible life partner respond to Jane Asher's ominous refusal to mention Paul in an interview. Mini relationship portraits, from John to Klaus Voormann.

Happy Birthday! I hope the universe will send that epic and romantic Paul McCartney/Werner 'Icke' Braun-fic your way...sooner rather than later!

[puemort]

I don't know why when I picture Ichirou I always imagine him being like 40 y.o. Every time I see someone talking about shipping him with someone I am always there like "WAIT WHAT" and then "oh yeah right he is not old".

I ♥ RAREPAIRS ★★★

Birdtale!Sans likes Outertale!Sans because he glows when blushing and he's a crow who likes shiny things :]

(also click for a better quality-)

These are the constellations on Outer's face

★

Can't really see them on his face tho

[stitchthelilo]

in the video where the tadc vas play the amazing digital circus visual novel fangame lizzie literally said she ships pomni x gangle. what timeline am i in holy shit

[pietrofication]

okay stardew community hear me out: Sam x Alex

They're both closeted but for different reasons. Alex has a lot of internalised homophobia and can't admit to himself he is gay. Sam is also scared of what his parents might think if they find out he's bi, but he's accepted himself and just plans to come out after he moves to the city one day.

Sam's always noticed Alex (because how can he not, when he looks like that), but always thought he and Hailey had a thing. Alex admires how carefree and happy Sam seems to be.

They have always been cordial but get closer by chance one night when Sam finds Alex talking to his dog Dusty late at night. Sam listens to Alex talk about his parents, and Alex listens to him talk about his dad and how much pressure he's under since he left.

They become friends after that. Alex is touch starved and flinches at Sam's casual touches and hugs at first but very quickly becomes obsessed with them.

He totally freaks out when he realises he's starting to develop a crush. He keeps sneaking glances at the blond and finding himself longing for his touch.

Haley and Abigail as the supportive bffs!!

They (finally) confess after Sam invites him to one of his shows. Alex is completely captivated and runs to Sam backstage after, engulfing him in a hug. They end up staring at each other's eyes and in the heat of the moment Sam grabs him by the collar and kisses him!!!

They start dating after that and come out to their friends. They don't make a big announcement, but they don't try to hide it either.

Even though Alex is much bigger and stronger than him, Sam is super protective after finding out what he's gone through. He doesn't let anyone be mean to him, not even Seb.

Sam is bad at remembering to do things so Alex helps him establish routines to take care of himself. He makes him improve his diet of pizza and Joja cola. In turn, Sam helps Alex let loose and come out of his shell.

[oceansssblue]

I'm curious,

If so, which pairing? I accept ideas (or requests about it, if u wanna).

[jugulatewrites]

Me, organising a jumbo bag of lollipops by flavour: Writers will do anything instead of writing.

[kuzzzma]

You know what... yes, that could actually work.

[ryisbread]

shane ship thoughts

I am back with my nasty dirty Shane/Sophia agenda.

So. . . in some no-zombies AU? I think Sophia has a big crush on him that develops when she has a lot of one-on-one with Carl. initially everyone writes it off as a girlhood crush, which everyone has.

it intensifies when he helps protect her + Carol from Ed, and only stronger when she gets older.

Shane tries turning her down easy several times. it gradually escalates, though when she cannot grasp his hints. I am needing Shane strutting around with hickeys on display, bragging about his ONS.

eventually he gives in. . . reason? I don't know but Sophia is on his face, riding his nose and sobbing as he gives her the best orgasm ever, and he KNOWS he is completely fucked.

also when Carl finds out? it causes a lot of angst between them.

FINAL DAY FOR 2024!

[kousaka-erena]

been getting into KiSato recently

[hainethehero]

"Don't look at me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like that. I know that look kid, you're not as subtle as you think. Not when it comes to this anyway."

"What's this?"

"Heat. Lust. Whatever your generation would've called it. You may be able to mask expressions out on the field but with this? You're practically panting for it."

"Brock I- ..."

"I've been in this game a long time kid. We don't mix business with pleasure."

"I'm not a kid."

"Twenty six compared to forty nine? I'd say you're still a baby, Rogers. What's worse is.. if the rumors about you are true."

"What rumors?"

"That you're a virgin. Never had sex with a woman, much less with a man. Or did your pal Buchanan take care of it for ya?"

A pause.

"You're trying to shake me off? By mentioning him?"

"I'm doing this for your own good pretty boy."

"My own good? I'm not innocent-"

"You're jailbait. You're America's sweetheart."

"You won't tarnish my reputation, Rumlow. And besides, I thought you didn't do relationships? That's not what I'm lookin for."

"Do you even know what you're looking for? Hm? You think i want a relationship? You think one romp in the sack is gonna satisfy someone like you?"

"What d'you mean someone like me?"

"I've seen the looks Rogers. I've seen the look in your eyes, when you're desperate for it. Thirsty for it. When you want a man's touch so bad it makes you look stupid. You like it when we train together, like giving me the upper hand. Like giving me your back, all the time. Can't even stifle the little sounds out of your mouth. So needy, you could cry from it."

Steve shifts uncomfortably in his seat, squeezing his thighs together for some friction as Brock's words leave him hot under the collar.

"So? If you're not looking for a relationship then we should both be fine."

Brock huffs but he doesn't look amused. "One fuck ain't gonna satisfy a man like me, sweetheart. I don't wanna hold your hand through this. I will fuck you up. I'll make you so desperate for it, you'll beg me on your knees for more. You won't be able to go a day without it. A day without wanting- needing, my cock in you. Wanting to feel owned. Feel like you can't move, can't touch yourself until I tell you you're allowed to."

Steve's eyes go dark, plush lips falling open to pant quietly from across the table.

"Look at you, already gone."

"I want it." Steve whispers, a mournful sound.
