Hooked on a feeling ~ 12k

“So.” The stranger’s back straightened, turning his entire body towards Aziraphale. “What’s your deal?”

“My… deal?”

“Your deal,” he repeated. “You say you know blind dates all too well and yet you choose fifth wheeling over finding someone to bring along.”

“It’s not for lack of trying,” Aziraphale objected, voice too frail to be convincing.

The red-head tilted his half-drunk whisky with a nod. “Which brings us right back to your deal. Wanna know what I think?”

“Oh, please, do enlighten me,” Aziraphale said drily, even as the corner of his mouth twitched. He settled further onto his stool.

“I think you’re a romantic,” he said simply.

What happens when, in an effort to escape his friend’s well-meaning attempts at matchmaking, Aziraphale connects with a handsome stranger at the bar?

Muriel: Ooooh!! I know what you're doing!! You're attempting to copulate!!! 👿: And, you!! just ruined the moment! Now, get out!! 😇: 😳😳😳😭😭😭 Poor Angel is mortified. 🤣🤣 ----- Clean image, without the speech bubble:

---- I love the idea that, at the end, Muriel decides to stay on Earth with Aziraphale and Crowley and ends up becoming their kind of adopted child, complete with classic childlike shenanigans like this one. 🤣🤣

I wholeheartedly agree. Betas are a gift to the world and writing a story is hard and lonely and comments make aaaaaaall the difference. Yes. Yeeeees!

What I've Learned Writing My First Long Good Omens Fic

(and 2nd fic ever)

Writing is fattening. I've gained 5 pounds just from the increased sitting.

Beta readers are amazing! They give their free time to read early drafts and make them infinitely better.

And yet, as brilliant and helpful as a beta's comments are, it feels like a punch in the gut to see a page full of red marks.

It's far too easy to believe a beta has to take a break from reading because they can't stomach one more word of your awful writing instead of because they have, y'know, a life (school, work, kids, friends, hobbies, pets, community etc.)

Who are those brave writers who don't rely on betas at all? They're the equivalent of free climbers on el Capitan.

I love reading fics even more now that I know how difficult it is to write one.

Writers who post as they go without completing their fic first are fearless! And crazy! And fearless!

What's even crazier is that some of those write-as-they-go writers pull out the most amazing turns of phrase or emotional depths.

And what about writers working in their second (or third) language? They're so impressive.

Writing is lonely. I've become even more committed to leaving comments on WIPs understanding better how it might feel to spend months (or years) writing something while getting little feedback.

It's a fine line between feeling inspired by another writer and intimidated by their craft.

The hours I've enjoyed reading fics is the result of many more times the hours someone spent writing them. And finally, I've learned so much and gained fascinating insights reading fan fics. I hope my writing offers something special as well. Yep, I love a lovely spot of fluff. But even the fluffiest writing offers clever perceptions of people and the world. I'm grateful for the amazing writers, readers, and artists who make up the Good Omens fandom.

It’s my 30th birthday today 🙃

So I decided to draw a little fluff for the occasion ♥️

Ineffable husbands enjoying the hot weather, Aziraphale already sunburnt and scandalously ‘low dressed’, Crowley basking in the sun, still in long sleeves and jeans, because there still isn’t a temperature invented that could burn his serpent skin 🐍

Have a great day, my dears. I’m going to enjoy some cake now ♥️

Episode 6 - A Promise To Keep

The kiss lasts and then is broken. Crowley smiles, resting his forehead against the angel's.

C:"Let's run. Let's run, Aziraphale. Let's get out of here. Out of London. This time, for real."

Aziraphale laughs, as if he doesn't understand what Crowley is referring to.

C: "You told me that once, remember?"

A: "I didn't remember promising to run away."

C: "We were drunk. A bottle of angel alcohol and two stolen glasses. You said, 'One day, let's go'. Just you and me. No heaven. No Hell." But then you laughed. And I laughed too, then I didn't laugh anymore."

They look at each other.

Then Crowley opens the door.

C: "Today is 'that day'.'"

Aziraphale climbs in. Crowley follows him.

The Bentley's engine roars, but it feels lighter, as if it too knows that this time direction matters more than destination.

Their journey begins as they leave London.

Going far away.

Getting away from the chaos of London and many memories created there. Good and bad.

During their road trip a music plays in the background: something old, jazzy, happy.

No words.

They stop in many places and do many things:

they dance on the empty beach,

shoes in hand, while the waves touch their pants.

Aziraphale stumbles and laughs like a little boy.

They sleep in the back of the Bentley, wrapped in blankets, next to each other, without needing to touch to feel close.

Crowley cooks something on a campfire, Aziraphale turns up his nose, then tastes it, and laughs.

A stolen kiss in the rain, without hesitation, with hands in hair and freedom on her.

And the days pass. No one counts them anymore.

During the journey, they find a small Chalet uninhabited for a long time, nothing that a miracle cannot fix and make welcoming.

Later the fireplace is lit. Aziraphale is wrapped in a Scottish blanket, Crowley lying on the floor, with a pillow under his head. They have had a drink, they laugh softly. The fire casts warm shadows on the ceiling.

A: "This... This is the place where I always wanted to be."

C: "So we had the same thought."

They look at each other and then smile.

That smile that comes only after so much effort and so much tenderness.

A: "I love you."

C: "I know."

Aziraphale comes closer and lies down next to him.

They kiss.

Calmly.

Slowly.

No longer needing to defend themselves.

The fire in the fireplace still crackles, low and golden. The blanket has slipped halfway. Crowley and Aziraphale lie next to each other on the carpet. They don't speak. It's not necessary. Every breath is synchronized. Every silence is full of what there is no need to say.

Outside, the forest is still. No angel, no demon. No mission. Only the soft chirping of crickets, the scent of burning wood, and the certainty that, for once, no one is watching them.

Only them.

Two creatures as old as time, tired and tender, who have found each other. Who have finally chosen only each other.

And for tonight there is no Heaven. There is no Hell.

There is only this:

peace.

[itsscottiesstark]

Because they come as a bonded pair.

does michael sheen know? does he know that he made aziraphale so synonymous with warmth and sweetness and love that for so many of us, he is our comforting inner voice? our place to rest? does he know???

INTEREST CHECK!

I've noticed that there are many trans/non binary/genderqueer creators in the good omens fandom, and I find that marvellous. I would like to celebrate it and the diversity of our experiences.

I'm thinking about organising a little event. I'd create an Ao3 Collection, so people could submit works that talk about gender (be it having trans characters or exploring the theme in somehow). The fan creations would be shared alongside posts with the author talking a little about their experience (or maybe just a celebratory I'm ___, I'm queer, and I'm here! if they don't feel comfortable sharing much), be it via reblog or post in the event blog.

Let me be good to you

Even after all they had been through, Crowley was hesitant to make requests, especially when they were of a more… intimate variety. He had been assured, in more ways than one, that his thoughts and feelings were just as valid as Aziraphale’s. But there was something to be told about old habits and their stubborn refusal to die. No matter how useless they turned out to be in the end.

“What would you say about… taking more… control?”

The hand in his hair stilled for a moment, before resuming its placating caresses in a slower and more intentional manner.

“Of what?”

Even though his eyes remained firmly closed, Crowley could hear the mild curiosity in Aziraphale’s voice—the way his tone itched ever-so higher in his effort to remain nonchalant.

Crowley squirmed a bit, suddenly tense all over. “Of— of me, angel.”

Or...

Crowley asks for Aziraphale to try being a bit more dominant in the bedroom, and the angel is simply not one to back down from such a challenge.
