Beyond the Barricade: A Good Omens theater kids AU by CemeteryAngel725
Special thanks to FourCatsAndCounting for the amazing cover art!
Summary:
Az Eastgate and AJ Crowley have been best friends and roommates since freshman year, when they met playing minor gangsters in their university theater company's production of Guys and Dolls. Az has been in love with AJ ever since, but he's never quite worked up the courage to tell him. Now it's senior year, and they've been cast as Marius and Enjolras in Les Miserables. Will Az finally work up the courage to tell AJ how he feels? Or will they graduate from college and go their separate ways?
Rated E, 29,853 words (complete work!)
Excerpt:
“So, you and me, leading the revolution?” AJ's amber eyes sparkled in the dim light. “What a way to finish out senior year.”
“I know, it's so exciting.” Az let his head tip back against AJ's arm. If AJ was going to let him get this close, he might as well enjoy it.
“I mean, actually, I'm the one leading the revolution. One look at a pretty face, and whoops! Off you go, leaving me behind.”
“But I come back! I'm there when the barricade falls, after all.”
“Only because you think Cosette left your sorry ass. Me and the revolution, your rebound relationship. Or your suicide mission.”
Az sighed. “Hard to believe Marius could look at anyone else with Enjolras onstage. You're going to do him justice, my dear. Marius is dull as dishwater by comparison.”
“Nah, Marius is a romantic. He's quiet, but he has all these beautiful lines to sing, almost as if he's been sitting around thinking them up, waiting to say them to someone. He sort of reminds me of you, actually. You and your head full of poetry.”
Az turned to look at AJ, and was a little shocked at how close their faces had gotten to each other. They locked eyes for a moment, and then AJ's gaze slid down to his lips.

Attention nerds
I am working on a presentation for powerpoint night with my friends. I am presenting on the funniest/wildest fandom controversies throughout all of history. Everything from angry letters to Arthur Conan Doyle's publishers when he killed off Sherlock Holmes to good old November 5th 2020 and any other crisis that arose among a group of people that really liked a particular story/person, even before the term fandom came around. I'm especially interested in historical drama, but anything up through the last decade is very welcome. If you happen to know of any particular examples of this, please share with me in the notes, and if possible provide sources. I would greatly appreciate it
