I made a mess of your world, tried living in it like it was mine

Wreaked havoc all across the country trying to restore the ley line

It was getting out of hand, and I was too hurt to call

Later on, I learned that my hero wasn't who he seemed to be at all

I stood frozen, speachless when you said goodbye

But you came back to find me despite how dangerous it is to scry

Fire raging, but I controlled it just in time

I truly thought I lost you, and I was terrified

In my head, it was just like this

We looked up at the stars

The night stayed quiet cause you knew what was in my heart

In my head, we stayed right there

On the roof, at the Barns

I guess I don't have to worry

Cause we'll always find our way back

Part 3/3

ok yknow what else. I am so glad they're acknowledging the 180. I haven't really voiced this cuz I was otherwise so excited for this season but I really was on the verge of indignation about them just deciding to make gabriel a goofy sidekick after he was literally the biggest villain of season 1. it really felt like they weren't willing to acknowledge just how much pain he's actually caused aziraphale and crowley and, to be honest, it seemed a little out of the blue that aziraphale would try to help him. but no. they're actually talking about it. it's a central point of conflict for them that crowley rightfully wants nothing to do with this because it's GABRIEL, he tried to kill aziraphale, he's still understandably terrified that heaven will try to hurt him again, and now he wants this guy nowhere near either of them, and cannot understand why aziraphale would have him in his bookship after what he's done. and as for why aziraphale wants to help him, that seems like it's actually going to be explored rather than just accepted for the sake of the plot moving forward. not only have they not forgotten just what gabriel did or tried to do last season, they're placing that lasting fear and apprehension towards him front and centre and are going to have aziraphale and crowley conflict over whether or not he deserves their help. I'm honestly so relieved because I had always been staunchly anti-gabriel and never really enjoyed the fandom's overly jovial attitude towards him, and was genuinely really skeptical when it seemed they were going to make him a sympathetic character in the new season, especially since the trailer played the comedic angle for all it was worth. but it's not just absurdity for absurdity's sake. it's actually something for our main couple to work through. the writing knows this is a difficult shift in dynamic to contend with. and they're directly employing it as an obstacle for aziraphale and crowley. it's really good and it's put a lot of my worries about the overall tone and messaging of this season to rest

Book 25, 2023

As always, I am in charge of deciding what counts as a book, so this illustrated edition of Kyusaku Yumeno's short story "Hell in a Bottle" is a book. Would I prefer an actual collection of short stories sans post-millenial somewhat pastel toned Kaori Yuuki-esque art? Yes. Are there a lot of options for feeding my interest in early 20th century Japanese writers outside dropping textbook money and bookshipping import taxes on something from the University of Hawaii? It's a bit thin on the ground.

"Hell in a Bottle" is lightly gothic but being told over the course of a few short letters in bottles tossed to the ocean deprives it of the atmosphere you might want. Not as fucked up as descriptions of his other work lead me to hope.

I want to read "Dogra Magra", which doesn't have an English translation. Hook me up with that or one of his novels published by Arigatai Books please and thank you. I want some pre-war Japanese surrealism.

Got a little behind on the #FanaticalBirdAugust book challenge this week due to real life stuff. So I'll be doing a few days catch up today! Here is Day 13 (Sunday's): Favorite book ship OTP. This one was really really HARD! But I just love everything about Feyre and Rhysand and everything they represent. My close runners up were Malec from Shadowhunters because they are such amazing partners as well, and also I will forever be a Lizzie and Darcy fan as well, just rewatched Pride and Prejudice yesterday and Lizzie Bennet diaries web series over the weekend...just sooo goood!! #booksofinstagram #booknerdforlife #ilovereading #bookishlife #bookstagram #booknerd #malec #magnusxalec #feysand #feyreandrhysand #darcyandelizabeth #elizabethanddarcy #acomaf #acourtofmistandfury #prideandprejudice #bookships #otp #lovetoread #love #igreads #iloveya #ireadya

It's all a mess in this city, it's missing a hotel

I swear I saw the face of a should-be-ghost somewhere

All around, they're whispers of a name I know all too well

I saw my face in strangers, chased cars like a madman

I put my life in danger, it was all darkness

But I'm back now and so are you

In my head, we grow old together

You stay cause you know I'll get better

And I would have you for evermore

In my head, we stay in that summer

Perfect company, only you and me

Nothing more

[luxmentis]

I have, more than once, shared the appalling packing that some books have arrived in. Every once in a while, you get the exception in the other direction. This for one, exciting, book. More soon! #bookpacking #bookshipping #greatpackingjob https://www.instagram.com/p/CI9Jk-iJqGB/?igshid=te32iiovsrkj

[percabethloveboat]

can we agree that percabeth is the best bookship ever? I mean solangelo is good but percabeth has the rival to lovers, forbidden love, amnesia, mutual pinning, each others person, soulmates. they are superior!

Lost Fic #48

1. Hello! I've lost a fic and am wondering if you can help. Crowley and Aziraphale are in an established relationship and Crowley has accidentally summoned multiple Aziraphales from across their shared timeline to his flat. Current-Timeline Aziraphale comes over, and Crowley and all the Aziraphales decide to enjoy themselves until morning... which will come whenever Crowley decides to un-freeze time. I remember 1960s-Aziraphale was very shy and longing. Anyone know this one? Thank you!! ~anon

2. Hello! I read a fic at one point. The plot is very much a through history type, but Aziraphale kisses Crowley every so often in hopes of calming him down, not realizing the impact it has on him. Crowley eventually asks him not to kiss him again until he understands. Has anyone read this one? Thanks! ~anon

3. I'm looking for a fic. In it, Crowley gets captured and bound by a human and forced to do his bidding for years, and the human has a teenage daughter(that he ab*sed, and who had been around Crowley her whole life), and the girl I think is the one who tells Aziraphale where Crowley is? And Azi comes in and literally smites the fucker who bound Crowley and destroys his house(but he lets the daughter live, of course) I have unfortunately forgotten the title, but can you help me find it? ~anon

4. Hi, Im looking for a several chapter long fic, about fake marriages between aziraphale and Crowley throughout the years. The summary was a section from the story and I think had the phrase "I need you to pretend to be my wife" or something very similar. It was rated E and had female aziraphale as one of the tags, if you could find it Id be very grateful! Thank you 💜 ~ @sweetpotatoirish1-7

5. Hi! Ive been trying to find a fic, and I've had no luck. Basically Crowley and aziraphale get trapped in the realm of the fae; Crowley is forced to work/is experimented on while the fae sort of control Aziraphale by kicking his consciousness out of his body? Crowley almost loses his wings at one point, and at the end they escape by beating the queen's task? I know it ends with them in the bookship. I hope you're doing well! ~ @super-writer-gal

If you know one of these fics, please use the number in your response!
