I want to talk about Luigi’s reaction to Kamek’s declaration that he, alongside everyone else in the prison, has been sentenced to be ritualistically sacrificed at Bowser’s wedding.
Upon hearing the news everyone around him erupts into a panic, but Luigi... defying expectations... is one of the very few who remains calm.
Sure, he’s scared, but with nowhere to run he’s strangely perceptive and pensive, gauging the reactions of everyone around him rather than letting himself also get consumed by fear.
But then I realized... it’s not just because he’s surprisingly levelheaded despite his ever-present anxiety (though that is certainly part of his character). Luigi’s being calm because he’s too busy worrying about Mario.
Luigi doesn’t know much about the situation, but he does know this:
1. Mario was last seen traveling with a princess
2. Bowser considers the princess to be his “fiancee”
3. Bowser is now getting married
So even in a situation as dire as this; sentenced to die in a mass slaughter, surrounded by panic and misery, the main person Luigi is concerned about is his brother.
That soft “Mario” isn’t a plea for a rescue, it’s a plea for his brother to be okay.

love mapicc’s decision to kill everyone and ruin flame’s fight btw…
also how he sought out zam’s approval for it afterwards… how he’s still very suspicious of zam’s whole pacifism thing and doesn’t trust it but is still fighting for his cause…

Good Omens Fic Rec: Such Devotion of the Heart
After Aziraphale returns from Edinburgh (end of S2 Ep4), a mysterious downpour from above sends Crowley back into the shelter of the bookshop, forcing him to look into his angel's eyes and attempt to admit that they are made for each other.
But, the course of true love never did run smooth. Hijinks and vavoom-ing and angst ensue through the Season 2 canon and beyond.
...
Aziraphale turns around. Crowley’s glasses are off and his eyes are blown wide with something like an answering craving to Aziraphale’s own. And also fear. Definitely fear.
“Right. Ok. Mmmm. I think it’s now or never, angel.”
Aziraphale can only stare. But Crowley seems to be waiting for an answer, for permission to proceed. They stand there together, their gazes locked, on the edge of the precipice they’ve been dancing along for 6,000 years. Water still drips from the hems of Crowley’s clothes and onto the floor in a quiet, hypnotic rhythm.
Aziraphale manages to take a shaky breath. And then he nods.
Length: 42,109 words
AO3 Rating: Explicit / Spice Level 🔥🔥🔥🔥

*Minor Spoilers* This story imagines that Season 2 is not an angst-filled emotional rollercoaster, but instead has our entities confessing their love at the end of episode 4. I had a lot of fun with this one! It is the ultimate "fix-it" fic filled with tenderness and humor.
Muriel and Gabriel decide to conduct their own va-voom experiment, aiming to make Aziraphale and Crowley fall in love. They might have already beaten the experiment to the punch, but it does pave the way for them to talk. Which of course paves the way for oh so many kisses. Their coming together is soft, romantic, full of laughter and love. Like full on warm and fuzzies
But here's the thing, they still have an amnesiac archangel, a horde of demons sent from Hell, and the voice of God to deal with. I had a lot of fun seeing how this story handled those events. Particularly with how Aziraphale finally stands up for himself and takes a stand against Heaven. I love that bastard! At the end of the day, the group of the two of them is stronger than anything that wishes to harm them.
Borders between mostly safe in public and after dark. There's a handful of sex scenes, but they aren't extremely explicit so this will be up to your comfort level with explicit scenes in public. This was quite a heartwarming and feel good post season 2 story! Very low on angst, practically none, so this is a good pick me up. Sure to unbreak your heart (for a little while anyway)

"And as we look around us, in the society of believers in Jesus, and mark the beauty and devotion of character displayed in thousands of His people, it is the mere instinct of truth to say, ‘We know that He is alive from the dead, for He lives in them'."
