Chapters: 5/9 Fandom: 莲花楼 | Mysterious Lotus Casebook (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Di Feisheng/Li Lianhua | Li Xiangyi Characters: Di Feisheng, Li Lianhua | Li Xiangyi, Wu Yan (Mysterious Lotus Casebook), Medicine Demon (Mysterious Lotus Casebook), Qin Po (Mysterious Lotus Casebook), Jiao Liqiao, Shan Gudao, Fang Duobing, Qiao Wanmian Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, What Ifs, technically just one little what if, what if the medicine demon had said something after brewing the bicha poison, Mutual Pining, di feisheng being the voice of reason, and the force for protection, written for the sake of yearning and longing and pining, and then some plot manifested itself, and turned it into 50k of longing and pining, child Fang Duobing, Mild Hurt/Comfort Summary:

“I've built this,” Di Feisheng finally says, the bitterness in his voice almost tangible, and gestures around himself, “to make sure I've no weaknesses. I established the Jinyuan Alliance for the same reason, and it took me years to do that, to gather all those people around me. I’ve spent years cultivating to make sure no one could surpass me, no one could defeat me.” Another pause, and when his eyes finally meet Xiangyi’s again, the look in them is an inscrutable mixture of anguish, an odd sort of resignation, and that strange, absolutely alien softness. “And yet I’ve brought you here myself, to the very heart of it.”

"The trouble is, a racing car is just a collection of hopes and dreams until it gets on the track."

James May, a well-known British television presenter, journalist, and author, is best recognized for his work in automotive journalism. Here are five interesting things about him:

Top Gear and The Grand Tour: James May is best known for co-presenting the popular motoring show "Top Gear" alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond from 2003 to 2015. After their departure from the BBC, the trio launched "The Grand Tour" on Amazon Prime Video, continuing their exploration of cars and travel with the same humour and chemistry that made them famous.

Nickname "Captain Slow": May earned the nickname "Captain Slow" due to his cautious driving style, especially compared to the more aggressive approaches of his co-presenters. Despite this, he has a deep knowledge of cars and a genuine passion for motoring.

Engineering and Early Career: James May studied music at Lancaster University before beginning his career in journalism. He has a keen interest in engineering and has written for various publications, including Autocar and The Daily Telegraph. He even designed a Lego house for a BBC show, showcasing his engineering and creative skills.

Documentaries and Interests: Beyond cars, May has presented several documentaries covering diverse topics such as science, technology, and history. His shows include "James May's Toy Stories," where he explores classic toys and attempts ambitious projects with them, and "James May: Our Man in Japan," a travel documentary series where he explores Japanese culture.

Author and Columnist: In addition to his television work, James May is an accomplished author. He has written several books on cars and other subjects, such as "James May's Car Fever" and "James May: Oh Cook! 60 Easy Recipes That Any Idiot Can Make," the latter of which ties into his cooking show, "Oh Cook!" on Amazon Prime, where he demonstrates his cooking skills.

push the sky away

pairing: paul/richard rating: mature author: captainslow summary: how come his life has taken such an unexpected turn? and when did richard start to take such a significant part in it, so much so that paul's very first thought the moment the news of his prospects of becoming a father was broken to him was directed at no one other but richard, a compulsive desire to run and find refuge in his arms. link

For the bagginshield fic rec, "A Passion For Mushrooms" by Chrononautical on ao3 is amazing, the levels of pining in there are absolutely INSANE! I also love "Listen For Returning Feet" by CaptainSlow also on ao3, if you are looking for some parentshield.

ahh thank you, I'll definitely add them to my list!

[ukulelette]

@yoko-oh-no​ regarding Paulchard fics;

I’ve read a lot of Paulchard fics in 2019-2020, but I’m only starting again now! I’m currently rereading the Coming Back To You Universe series by CaptainSlow as I remember it was one of my faves at that time - and I confirm rereading it feels just as wonderful 🥲

Given my current state of Paulchard brainrot, I will probably continue reading more fics in the coming days so I’ll keep you guys updated if I find any gems!

but also, to all Paulchard fans; feel free to send me your recommendations or even the fics you’ve written - I’d gladly check them if I have time 🥰

pairing: paul/richard rating: mature author: captainslow summary: "you once mentioned in some interview that we don't have sex," paul says softly, almost contemplatively. "well, we've never had… so far," richard replies, just as quietly, his heart suddenly feeling way too tight in his chest and dangerously close to his mouth. link

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! These all look AMAZING to read!! <3 I really appreciate you taking time out to let me know some of your faves!!! <3

GOOD OMENS FICS (MARKED FOR LATER)

Got You Pinned by LadyMango (E, 3,907 w., 1 Ch. || Sexual Tension, Confessions, First Time, Aziraphale’s Bookshop, Embarrassed Aziraphale, Wall Slam) – Crowley needs to convince his superiors that he and Aziraphale are not friends, so they fake a fight when they know they are being watched. Aziraphale gets excited.

Made Flesh by rfsmiley (M, 14,064 w., 3 Ch. || Alternate Universe || Canon Divergence, Character Death, Enemies to Friends to Lovers, Daemons, Symbolism, First Time) – AU in which Crowley is two entities, and Aziraphale isn’t sure how he feels about either of them.

and, so on by PaintedVanilla (M, 8,907 w., 1 Ch. || Non-Linear Narrative, Past Lives, Heaven, Declarations of Love, First Meetings, First Kiss/Time, TicklingLiving Together, Interior Decorating, Pet Names, Touch Starved, Beach Sex, Wings, Gardens/Gardening, Hurt/Comfort, Angst with Happy Ending) – Crowley doesn’t remember heaven, but Aziraphale remembers him.

Strange Flesh and All That by FortinbrasFTW (E, 7,289 w., 1 Ch. || First Time, Top Aziraphale, Movie Night, Drunk, Glasses, Awkward Conversations, Bottom Crowley) – Crowley laughs. He can’t help it. And the wine is very good.

Something to do with these sacred words by Solshine (T, 11,355 w., 1 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || 6000 Years of Pining, Declarations of Love, Aziraphale’s Bad at Feelings, Unrequited Love Confessions, Happy Ending, Slow Burn) – Crowley confesses early, and Crowley confesses often.

He thinks he's seen it all, from meddling parents to nervous brides, and in one case an ex with a penchant for arson. What he isn't prepared for is a reluctant groom with a liking for black leather and a smile that has Aziraphale's mind going to places it most certainly shouldn't. Especially since the man is getting married, no matter how awful his fiance is...

You Forget We Were In Love by CaptainSlow (E, 51,387 w., 10 Ch. || Tags to Be Added) – In the very Beginning of it all, there were an angel and... an angel.

Ineffable Fic Rec List

Happy Fanfiction Author Appreciation Day! I’m having a heck of a time trying to focus enough to read, so I thought I’d put together a list of my favorite Good Omens fics (all Aziraphale/Crowley). Please check them out and shower the authors with love!

Rated-G:

You Know My Name by @dotstronaut​ (WIP) 5.6K words. Role-reversal AU, Forced Amnesia, Animal Aspects. This fic is written by an artist who also draws scenes from it, and I am in love with the whole thing. Tortoise!Aziraphale and Snake!Crowley, starting in the Garden of Eden.

Build Our Kingdom by Mackem 9.3K words. Post-canon, Picnic, First Kiss, Fluff, So Much Fluff. They go on a picnic together, and it’s just 100% adorable fluff.

An Angel who did not so much Fall In Love as Settle Into It Gradually by TheLadyZephyr 7.5K words. Canon-Compliant, Missing Scenes, Historical References. Aziraphale slowly but surely falling in love. Podfic available!

Stopgap by RC_McLachlan 3.1K words. Missing Scene in Episode 6. Basically just Crowley hating on Gabriel during the “Shut your stupid mouth and die already” scene.

Rated-T:

Something to do with these sacred words by Solshine 11.3K words. Pining Out Loud, Declarations of Love, Happy Ending. Crowley confesses early, and Crowley confesses often. Aziraphale takes a Long Time to catch up.

Archangel of Healing by Nnm 9.3K words. Crowley Was Raphael Before He Fell, Post-canon, mild Angst, Recipe for Stew. Aziraphale figures out Crowley’s pre-Fall identity and A Lot Of Feelings are confronted. There’s so much delicious humor in this fic, despite it being a little angsty, and it feels SO MUCH like it belongs in the GO canon.

He No Longer Needs to Wonder by FinAmour 1.1K. Fluff, First Kiss, Sharing A Bed, Comedic Misunderstandings. Sweet and poetic. It all begins with a forbidden fruit.

Gravity by kaeltale 13.8K words. Fallen!Aziraphale, mild Hurt/Comfort, Getting Together, Post-canon. That’s right, I practice self-love by plugging my own fics! An exploration of what it means to be Fallen. Aziraphale helps Crowley see himself in kinder ways. God is a lovable bastard, and She ships it.

Across the Universe by kaeltale (WIP) 6.8K words. Moments In Time, Historical References, Pining. A collection of loosely-tied glimpses into Aziraphale and Crowley’s history together.

Rated-M:

In the (Second) Beginning by cherryfeather 2.6K words. Emotional Hurt/Comfort, First Kiss, Post-canon, Wings. Aziraphale realises Crowley's been saying something rather loudly for a week.

good for the soul by singingtomysoul 3.6K words. Getting Together, Post-canon, Confessions. Aziraphale doesn't feel guilty, for once, but has some things to confess. Crowley doesn't think he has guilt, and doesn't plan to confess anything. On both counts, he's wrong.

Touch by kaeltale 3.8K words. Compantion Fic, Non-sexual Intimacy, Music, Poetry, Fluff. Missing scene from Gravity in which Crowley is very overwhelmed, and Aziraphale is an angel... even if he's a demon.

Rated-E:

Lead me to the banquet hall by obstinatrix and wishwellingtons 14.7K words. First Time, Post-canon, Food, Pining, Resolved Sexual Tension, Bottom Crowley. Aziraphale gets flustered when he finds out that Crowley does eat, but doesn’t want to eat with him. Confessions ensue.

There's Nowhere Else On Earth That I Would Rather Be by CartWrite 8K words. Post-canon, Love Confessions, First Time, Body Swap Fallout. Sequel to Taking The Liberty in which Aziraphale takes (guilt-ridden) advantage of the Body Swap to explore Crowley’s body while he’s in it. Aziraphale confesses his transgressions. Crowley has some confessions of his own.

the voice under all silences by ShadyCakes 12K words. First Time, Mutual Pining, Missing Scene, Service Top Crowley, Aftercare, Telepathy, Tender Sex with Feelings, Classical Music. After the bus ride back from Tadfield and the erstwhile End of the World, Aziraphale reaches his breaking point.

You Forget We Were In Love by CaptainSlow 51.3K words. First Time, Historical References, Slow Burn, Pining, Soulmates AU, Amnesia, Questionable Consent (that gets addressed). Aziraphale and Crowley were soulmates in Heaven. After the Fall, everyone has forgotten the Fallen, except for Aziraphale. BAMF Aziraphale.

Chiaroscuro (series) by @drawlight 18K words total. Pining, Forbidden Love, Feelings Realization, Love Confessions, Missing Scene, First Time, Body Worship, Stars, Poetry. If you haven’t heard of Salinity by now, you are in for such a treat!! Ad Astra is probably my favourite so far, because Carl Sagan quotes. The whole series is just pure poetry and I am in love! So read it, ok? (Podfics by @podfixx are available here.)

The One With The Love Letters by Davechicken 7.5K words. First Time, Grey-Asexuality, Demisexuality, Past Abuse (non-explicit), Healthy Communication, Explicit Consent. Aziraphale thinks they are dating. Crowley thinks so too. Aziraphale thinks he knows what follows. Crowley absolutely does not. An exploration of demisexuality evolving through a relationship. Brilliant, and humourous at times.

Rebuild you from clay. by JMA 8.5K words. DARK FIC, Betrayal, Angst, Philosophy, Good and Evil, Demonic!Crowley, Unrequited Love, Recovery. Sequel to Apple in which Crowley plays a long game with Aziraphale. Fuck, it hurts. Evil!Crowley warning (he’s learning, but nowhere near Good). “Crowley has a naked fallen Angel in his bed. And hands around his throat.” Exploration of Art and Pain, and it’s beautiful in a really disturbing way. Be Warned!

Long Is The Way, And Hard by Kate_Lear 27K words. Historical, Friends to Lovers, Pining, Angst, Redemption. A story of Crowley's thoughts about Aziraphale, from the Beginning to the present day. And also of temptation, and want, and whether - for a Fallen Angel - redemption is possible after all. SO MUCH PINING, and also, apologies. Aziraphale is BAMF! (Podfic available by @podfixx)

[thegoodomensdumpster]

I have been recommended one fic by @bluecatredfox following the premise that Crowley doesn’t remember Heaven before he fell, but Aziraphale does remember him as an angel, and they were already lovers back then. And in a strange turn of event, I had read another fic a while ago that has this exact same premise as well. Both fics are very good and don’t go the same way at all dealing with their core story, so I’m recommending them to you now. ( There’s NSFW in both of them if I remember correctly. ) And, so on - PaintedVanilla - 8971 words You forget we were in love - CaptainSlow - 51 387 words
