Fall of the Berlin Wall (1989)

November 9, 1989

Do you like fun? Do you think about Aziraphale and Crowley more than the average person? Did you mildly enjoy History class in High School? Oh girl, I wrote a fanfic just for you!

So, I recently let my inner historian shine through and poured my heart and soul into a short good omens fic about the fall of the Berlin wall! It’s called „I can remember, standing by the wall“ (yk, like the Bowie lyrics!)

Let me set the scene:

It‘s November 9th 1989, Crowley convinces his angel to visit Berlin for a short trip after his senses tell him a major historical event is near. Chaos ensues and they find themselves again in the middle of a reunited Berlin. For a moment they get carried away and allow themselves to hope.

I‘m really proud of my work and I hope this post can reach other history freaks like me. This fic is overall canon compliant and totally romantic. It explores their relationship and belief system before they work together to stop the apocalypse and is spiked with some banter and hidden references. There‘s also a pretty intense end note that gives you all the historical context you might need. This moment in history always made me really emotional and I had so much fun using it as a setting for our favorite husbands. Believe me the Cold War and the ineffable husbands work amazingly together!

Please say hi on ao3!

OMG guys. Look what I found!! Ryan is a time traveler. Or a vampire. And maybe part German. In any case, he was at the fall of the Berlin wall.

Maybe he even brought it down, who knows. Certainly wasn't The Hoff, despite what he claims.

The Greatest Mauerfall Ever Fell

The story of the fall of the Berlin Wall, except instead of people dancing on the wall and taking chunks of it as souvenirs and rushing across the border, the populations of both East and West Berlin line up in a calm, orderly fashion and slap one another low fives, muttering, "good game, good game" in German.

72, 401, and 311 and topic erm. idk ❤️

your past:

you reminisce on the past a lot but maybe you should and its good practice to think about the bravest things you've done, even if it was hard at the time.

your present:

fireproof [reversed] genius.com says the songs about a connection between two people and how it can die out so reversed means the opposite. maybe your resilience (fireproof) comes from the people around you (cause nobody saves me baby the way you do)

your future:

there's a lot to be optimistic for in your future. I think this and fernando work really well hand in hand. there's a lot to be hesitant about and think hard on but goodness will come for you because you need it to
