Hello Neil, a question (or maybe a couple) - how did Hell contact Crowley before using technology to abruptly drop in? How did music left in the Bentley behave before Queen existed as a band? Also, an obligatory thank you for the wonderful series that you and the team gave us, it's a beautiful homage to what you wrote together and Terry would be proud!

I think questions like that are what fan fiction was made for.

sorry for all the good omens but sometimes one of your favorite books gets an adaptation and it’s good and you’re left with no choice but to go absolutely feral

sometimes you love a book and suddenly it’s everywhere and you can do nothing but reblog endless pictures of an angel and a demon staring lovingly at each other

There are two kinds of fic writers:

1. Fuck it, it’s fiction

2. Let me look up real estate listings, so I can plot out subway routes and schedules and see if this walk really is long enough for them to have this conversation.

Guess which kind I am.

3. People who are a weird mix of the above two.

Me: you know what I don’t care if this doesn’t quite make sense no one cares they will love it and this won’t be analysed it’s fanfic

Also me: I SWEAR if I can’t find a TREE with this EXACT type of bark that I’m imagining I WILL DIE

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.

Let’s Have Another Bullet Point Story, Courtesy of a Friend

  • So I have a friend that used to be in the tumblers troupe at the renfaire as a contortionist
  • We were chatting online and she told me to tell you all this story.
  • I love Kat dearly
  • but she forgets that she’s stupid strong and hypermobile
  • so one day she throws her back out
  • bad enough that she needed painkillers and couldn’t stand upright
  • “But also I needed Tampons and like.  A Burrito, real bad.”
  • she’s flat on her back in her apartment when she decides this
  • and, in an
  • impeccable
  • leap of reasoning, decides
  • “I can’t roll my back forward to sit/stand up like normal.
  • But I can ARCH my back just fine.
  • SO 
  • I’m going to do that and get on my hands and feet in a stomach-in-the-air this-shit-belongs-in-a-horror-movie-type pose,
  • And amble on down to the 7-11”
  • “And get me that Burrito”
  • It is, 
  • for context, 
  • after midnight in July during a wildfire so it’s hot as satan’s own asshole and the moon is red and shit’s already generally cursed.
  • Imagineyou are some poor sap working nights at the world’s deadest 7-11, and you hear the door jangle but you don’t see anyone’s head over the counters.
  • Whatever.
  • Except you keep hearing noises like there’s someone in the next aisle over.  
  • Fucking around in the burrito section
  • It’s also worth mentioning that Kat
  • 1. sings whatever earworm is currently running through her head when she’s not paying attention
  • 2. sounds EXACTLY like some kind of creepy child from a horror movie when doing so
  • tonight’s song is something from veggietales.
  • DUDE ACTUALLY STANDS HIS GROUND
  • and/or is really fucking high and isn’t sure if he’s tripping balls or notanyway
  • Kat goes up to pay for her burrito and tampons
  • She realizes the counter presents something of a challenge, and then demonstrates for me on her kitchen table at 4AM during a different july wildfire, 
  • exactly 
  • how she used the shelves to climb up the counter 
  • like one of the boston robotics beasties
  • dude stares at her for like, five minutes and says.
  • “Register’s broke.”
  • “Oh No!” Says Kat. “Just Take ‘em.” “Really?  I can leave cash-you don’t have to give me change I don’t want you to get in trouble with your manager.” “…Nah.” “Oh!  OK!  Thank you!” “Yeah ok bye.”
  • Shortly after she arrived back at the apartment, she got a text on her phone from the campus security about  "A Suspicious Individual” at tle 7-11. 
  • It took her 
  • FOUR
  • FUCKING 
  • YEARS
  •  to realize she was the suspicious individual

Part 2 of the historical AU that started with “Gore and Glory”, now set between 1914 and 1918.

Ten years have passed, but time has not ben good to Russia and the Romanovs. While unrest befalls the land, more voices cry for a new order and Rasputin’s influence poisons the court, Viktor suffers from severe melancholy. Apart from his lover and tired from a life that has never been easy for him, he tries his best to protect Yuri from harm - and yet, despite all sacrifices, war threatens to rip everything he loves away from him once more.

Been waiting for this follow up! Feeding my need for stories that combine both stellar historical contextualization and all the feels.
