Two years ago I sumbitted a few sketches for Good Omens Reverse Bang and had no idea what could come from it. That I could participate on a whole multichaptered story I am imensly proud of? (I'm talkign about Sunshine, don't mind hidden ad) Draw a picture every month? And lastly, most importantly, meet amazing people and make friends? Well, here I am, two years later, joining the Reverse Bang again and being paired with my dear friend and brilliant writer @elfontheshelves again! I would't be happier working with anyone other than you. Thank you for everything ♡ Our latest collab: Questionable home decor or how Crowley's life was turned completely upside down by the appearance of a certain angel back into his life. An angel that had been on his mind for the past, oh so many years.

I was insanely happy to be paired with the ever so talented @siskey yet again for what is now our third collab for this year's Reverse Bang - made possible by the wonderful people from DIWS.

And, much like Siskey herself pointed out, go and give Sunshine a read :))) (that whole fic and the incredible artwork took us more than a year)

Just something poetic for a change..

Because I’m obsessssd with this song!!

We look for love, no time for tears

Wasted water's all that is

And it don't make no flowers grow

Good things might come to those who wait

Not for those who wait too late

We gotta go for all we know

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

Building them castles in the sky

Just the two of us

You and I

I hear the crystal raindrops fall

On the window down the hall

And it becomes the morning dew

And darling when the morning comes

And I see the morning sun

I wanna be the one with you

Just the two of us

We can make it if we try

Just the two of us

(Just the two of us)

Just the two of us

Building big castles way on high

Just the two of us

You and I

And the last frame without text ..

I've been compelled since the end of GO S2 to draw cheer-up post-fix-it fluff comic.

Tbh, the first four pages are just filler to get to the point where I could start drawing (and ogling pictures of) long-hair Crowley being needy (Biblical Crowley is sooo my jam)😍😆

Honestly, the standard of Good Omens fanart is so insanely high I was kinda nervous to even start drawing any (and I haven't done a comic in yearrrrs). But it was really really fun. Thank you for looking!❤

GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 FIX-IT RECS UPDATED LIST (6 weeks out!)

Hello all! I am stunned by how much you all liked my first list of Good Omens Season Two fix-it recommendations on Archive of our Own! Thanks for sharing. Now that we’re 6 weeks out instead of two, there’s lots more good stuff on there and I thought I would post this new and expanded list for you? I broke it into categories, doubled it, and found lots more wonderful stuff to read.

**This was a hard decision but I am excluding works in progress since they need time to mature—all these are complete /compliant and can be invested in without fear.**

FULL SEASON 3 WORKS

To the Universe

22 chapters and I cannot say enough good things. It’s amazing closure and feels SO good to read. Writing style in this one is very compelling and keeps you on your seat until the end.

Somewhere Only We Know

A stunning 40 chapters for anyone who wants to just burrow down in this universe and never leave it. The angel and demon go separate ways only to reunite to (yet again) save Earth one more time.

Daily Report

This is written REALLY well. 6 chapters manages to bring about a really nice arc to reconciliation post Season 2! I was impressed.

MULTI-CHAPTER FIX-IT WORKS

Wouldn't It Have Been Nice?

Crowley is called to Heaven by a dying Angel. Jesus intervenes. Will break your heart, but it has a happy ending.

I Do Love Nothing in the World So Much as You

Soooo nice. 3 chapters bringing them straight through it as Aziraphale comes back and tries to beg forgiveness. NICE arc in this one. Believable.

Oh Simple Thing, Where have you Gone

This one says 7 of ? chapters, but I included it because I like the premise and what is there feels sort of complete? An interesting fixit where the Metatron has devious plans and locks up Crowley as part of that. The Bentley has a starring role in here during several heroic rescue plans.

Something Wrong

Ooooo! A NICE twist in this one. I won't reveal it, but this fic is based on some of the most compelling theories around why Aziraphale might not have been totally consenting when Metatron takes him away.

Jesus, Etc.

Crowley runs into a frantic Aziraphale with Jesus in tow at a Barbenheimer premiere. A battle of the wills with pop songs in the Bentley, Taylor Swift, Kenergy, sushi, a nativity play and a magic show come next.

ONE SHOTS (SMUTTY)

The Second Coming

The Second Coming - Episode6killedme - Good Omens (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Aziraphale “awakens” in the elevator (think ox ribs but sexually) and yeets himself back to earth to roger Crowley six ways from Sunday.

A Middle Ground

Aziraphale and Crowley have been separated, but the Angel won't let go. He kidnaps Crowley to a cloudscape and pleads his case. A Bridget-Jones like WWF bickering throwdown ensures. The part featuring reactions on the part of 737 Ryanair passengers and one airline attendant had me wheezing.

Just Called to Say Fuck You I Love You

This one is just spicy as hell, y'all. Aziraphale picks up on Crowley prayers while in Heaven, and let's just say that he's doing some ACTIVE praying.

Not for all my Little Words

Not for All My Little Words - mia_ugly, soft_october - Good Omens (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

An adorable one where Aziraphale, realizing he screwed up, chases Crowley through loudspeakers and other people’s phones through Europe using famous love quotes until he gets his attention (and some forgiveness.) Smut ensues.

ONE SHOTS (LITTLE/NO SMUT)

Darling, Can you Ever Forgive Me?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48966298

A daydream, leading to Aziraphale doing the right thing and heading back to Earth to declare his love.

Cause you like me too much and I like you

'Cause You Like Me Too Much and I Like You - alastor_holmes - Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett [Archive of Our Own]

A sweet little one where Aziraphale quietly resigns, has a chat with Gabriel and Beez in the bookshop, and does the apology dance.

Everywhere

everywhere - vivahate - Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett [Archive of Our Own]

Azi Crowley instead from a Heavenly asassination attempt. (Maggie, nina and anathema help!)

Heaven is Not Fit to House a Love

heaven is not fit to house a love (like you and i) - Zaexx - Good Omens (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

A sweet little one with a *small* deviation from canon (that seemed ok because they have a good point.) Crowley had never told Aziraphale about the way the angels managed his trial OR about what he saw in the Heavenly files with Muriel. He jams his way into the elevator (telling the Metatron to get the next one) and tells him.

Magician's Choice

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49066831

Oooooo I like this one. Four ways that the ending could have gone instead, based on four magic methods of sleight of hand. So cool!

A Proper Apology

A Proper Apology - cyankelpie - Good Omens (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

One where the Angel simply calls over and over until they really talk. (Or imagine the idiots simply just used the phone.)

The Nightingales Were Just Sleeping In

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49041145

Cute, adorable, small...just a retelling of the final scene where they really TALK and don't just be idiots.

This is Not an Apology

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48992128

Aziraphale comes to Crowley while he tries to sleep it all off and they actually talk, for once.

Time to Turn it Right

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49162285

Azi tries to fix things. Crowley gets a cat.

We Don't Need Heaven

https://archiveofourown.org/works/49598467

They talk again, this time on the beach, and for real.

Hello! I'm looking for fics with very soft endings. The softer the better. 💜 Any rating is good with me, and any warning except major character death is alright. Although I'd prefer not too high of angst. AUs and canon fics both welcome, but I do have a slight preference for AUs lately. I'm just itching to dig into more rich stories with indulgent happy endings.

All my thanks for your lovely work! 💜

Avatar

Hey! Here are some lovely human au fics chock full of softness directly from my bookmarks. I hope you enjoy!...

Crowley worked in Sales. He had never intended to work in Sales. It had just sort of happened. One moment, there he’d been, a newly minted university graduate off to change the world, exquisitely useless Philosophy degree in hand, and now here he was, having sauntered vaguely downwards into a Hell that consisted mainly of cold-calling new customers and sucking up to existing ones. AU based on The Office.

In Our Nature by AppleSeeds (T)

A perfect day in Crowley's dream job as a nature reserve manager stands to be ruined by the arrival of Aziraphale, a representative from the Marketing department at head office, investigating "commercial sponsorship opportunities" for the organisation. After what happened last time someone from Marketing visited, Crowley is prepared to fight to protect his precious reserve from corruption, and decides to show Aziraphale every beautiful aspect of nature he can in an attempt to get him on his side.
After several days together, Crowley only realises that Aziraphale isn't the monster he expected him to be when it's almost time for him to leave, and struggles to get him out of his mind after he's gone. But Eric, Crowley's dedicated and perceptive intern, will intervene however necessary to bring the two of them back together, and it just so happens there's a reserve managers' meeting coming up at head office, and Crowley's going to need a place to stay...

Won’t You be My Neighbor? by ProblematicPitch & Spiro (T)

When Mr. A. Z. Fell moves to the quiet English village of Tadfield, he expects nosy neighbors and inquiries into his eccentric, solitary life. What he doesn't anticipate is Anthony J. Crowley, the surly nuisance / next-door-neighbor, who might very well need a friend as much as he does.
Drama teacher Crowley loves directing the Tadfield Community Players' shows—interacting with the rest of the staff at the community center, not so much. So when he meets the new accompanist for this year's musical, he's shocked to find that he might actually like him. Possibly more than like, if he's being honest.
Aziraphale is fresh from leaving a long career as a church pianist, and hoping that a new job will get him out of the lonely rut he's found himself in. The attention and kindness of the flashy community theater director are unexpected, but not unwelcome. Far from it.
But with a community theater to run, a show to put on, and a disgruntled R.P. Tyler looking for any excuse to get rid of Crowley and his theater program, will they be able to make a relationship work? And, more importantly, can they make sure the show still goes on?

What There Isn’t by hope_in_the_dark (T)

Good things do not happen to Anthony Crowley, but when Eli Fell walks into his life, they start to.
(Or: Crowley is a tattoo artist and Eli is a bookseller, and they spend a lot of time not being together before they figure out what love is.)
After Adam's parents die in a car crash, Aziraphale is forced to start taking care of him as more than just an uncle. Don't get him wrong, he loves the little devil, it's just that he is completely clueless and could rather use some help. In comes Crowley, Adam's new nursery school teacher with his amazing skills in dealing with kids. Could he be the answer to all of Aziraphale's prayers - Adam-related and otherwise? Well, it looks like he might be just that, judging by the weird things Aziraphale's heart seems to be doing whenever he sets eyes on the man. Now, if only the tall ginger returned his feelings...

[id: Two colored fanart pieces for Our Flag Means Death. In the first, Ed is curled up in Mary's arms in an armchair in the Bonnet study. She is dressed in her usual widow shifts, he is wearing one of Stede's blue suits without the jacket. Ed is crying as Mary comforts him. In the second image, Ed and Stede are hugging. Ed is now in one of Stede's outfits but plum-colored this time, with gold buttons on the jacket. Stede is in his pirate outfit from episode ten, with a blue-jeweled earring and a hit of beard growth.]

Got to collaborate with @elfontheshelves on their phenomenal OFMD Big Bang fic, Port in a Storm. (It's so good ya'll, please read it immediately! 🤩)

These are the art pieces I got to do for it (spoilers, lmao) and they were just incredibly fun to work on~ I hope you guys enjoy the fic!

Thank you ever so much for the absolutely amazing art, Alston! It has been a joy collabing with you on this Big Bang. The art is absolutely spectacular and it made me ooooh and aaaaah an awful lot!

Okay so, it must be that one time a year when I actually draw something so here goes:

Have some wives. 

They are a companion piece for my Good Omens Flower Wives AU - which has got to be one of the tropey-est things I have ever written thus far and which I am insanely proud of.

And this particular drawing will be figured in my final chapter so I felt like sharing it here first, before it gets posted on AO3 in a couple of days.

Here’s the link to the fic if anyone wants to give it a read:

Guess the Author: Stand Up

The May Soft Omens Snuggle House Guess the Author game is in swing — and we’ve got a full house this month, with lots of new and returning authors!

The tantalizing prompt this time around was “Stand up” (courtesy of the excellent @greenfiredragonfly), and we’ve got a grand total of nineteen short, wonderful works (eighteen ficlets and a poem!) in this collection, each with their own creative take on the prompt.

As usual, it’s a fabulous pool of entries, well worth reading through! I highly encourage exploring the collections of the collection and giving the mystery authors some love!

And of course, if you’re interested in joining in on the guessing fun and the supportive screaming this week — and/or might be interested in participating as a writer yourself in future rounds — the Soft Omens Snuggle House server is always open. <3

Guess the Author: Gold

Soft Omens Snuggle House Guess the Author, April edition is here! The prompt for this round was “gold” — and sixteen mysterious authors took that prompt in sixteen creative directions, with sixteen ~500-word ficlets.

The ficlets in question can all be found in this collection, and one of them (not telling which one…) is by me!

Also featured this round are @the-bentley​ (hosting this round of GTA!), @ambrasue, @elfontheshelves, @fenrislorsrai, @hasturswig, @hkblack, @ilikeblue@ineffable-doll, @ineffablelawr, @ineffableomenshusbands, @lyricwritesprose, Luinlothana, @ngkiscool, @supergeek21, and @yoites-good-omens-blog: talented writers all! I do definitely recommend checking out the works in the collection and giving the anonymous authors some appreciation.

(The session of supportive screaming about fics, followed by author reveals, will take place on Tuesday — and as always, the Soft Omens Snuggle House server is open and welcomes new folks! <3)

Time’s up! If someone ask me what would I do after a year since I assigned to Reverse Bang, I would probably never guess what come from it. Not a single sketch, but a whole bunch of works, and the most glorious things - a beautiful heartwarming story and a dear friend, @elfontheshelves

I’m so so fucking glad and happy you choose my sketch. I will never believe it would be a begining of a long night talks, so much laughing and ploting, talking about nothing and everything. Thank you, for you being you, for challening me, for patience, for lovely words and praise, for our boys, for everything 💗

For the record, Reverse Bang was an event organized by DIWS, where artists submitted their sketches and writers picked one of them and wrote story inspired by that artwork. My draft was that scene from first chapter ^^ After that we decided to continue working together and here we are, after a year the very last chapter.

Siskey, you have made me a very very happy camper throughout the last year!

The art was absolutely sublime, as I am sure I told you a bunch of times but I will never get tired of screaming at you about it all.

But you also became a super dear friend and a huge source of inspiration for my story going on.

I also can’t believe it’s over after more than one year of back and forth and late night talks and you sharing sketches and me losing my marbles over them :))

Super super happy to have been able to embark on this journey alongside you <3
