Any fics added to the 'mods favourites' tag after season 2? 😉

I'm going to tell on myself here, but I haven't actually read loads of post-series two fics! The ones I have read and loved can probably already be found on our #good omens s2 tag, but I will take this opportunity to add them to the #mod faves tag...

A Proper Apology by cyankelpie (G)

A series of phone calls following the end of season two, in which an angel learns to apologize.

I'll Wait by CopperBeech (T)

After that final, awful kiss, after Aziraphale conquers his last moment of hesitation, the rift between angel and demon seems bottomless. They spent centuries talking past each other and kept it up right to the last minute. They won't find their way back to one another in one glib resolution. But we know it's not over. With Heaven and Earth dividing them, there's time to consider all the unsaid things. And there's still an angel in the bookshop.

Not for All My Little Words by mia_ugly, soft_october (E)

Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can! (He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.) Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.

Where The Furniture Used To Be by Magpie_BKK (T)

The Bentley has mysteriously brought Crowley back to central London, just as an old friend turns up at the bookshop. But not everything is as it appears, and Crowley finds himself on the run with an amnesiac angel, trying to unlock his memories along the way.

Drinking Buddies and Diaries by dove_dove (NR)

“I read the books about you,” Muriel said matter-of-factly. Crowley wasn’t following. “The books about me?” “The letter books to Aziraphale’s friend Diary? You must know them. They must be an angel, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them before.” Crowley coughed heavily. “You’ve read Aziraphale’s diary?”

And of course, the infamous post-series two must-read...

Factory Settings by Anonymous (T)

Crowley gets reinstated as an angel.

Do you know what your problem is? You can't live with the idea that someone might leave. When Mohsin Naqvi said: “Mere haathon ki lakeeron ma yeh aib hai mohsin , Main jis shakhs ko choo lo woh mera nahi rehta.”I've spent my whole life falling in love with people who didn't love me back. It's nothing new. As Jaun Eliya said: “Har shakhs meri zaat se jaane k liye tha, Tu bhi meri zaat se jane k liye hai.” You get use to someone start to like them, even and they leave. In the end, everyone leaves. When Faiz Ahmad Faiz said: “aae to yuun ki jaise hamesha the mehrban, bhule to yuun ki goya kabhi ashna na the.” I was always holding onto people, and they were always leaving. When Sahir Ludhianvi said: “Bichhad gaya har sathi de kar pal-do-pal ka saath , kis ko fursat hai io thame deewano ka haath.” and that, in the end, the most interesting people always leave.

Hellooo, do you have any well written vanilla fic recs? No AUs or other characters other than just OG Crowley and Aziraphale? One of my favorite fic authors is chaoticlivi on AO3 and I've read her works a hundred times over, I'm lookin for more fics like hers. It doesn't have to be NSFW though, I just love her writing style so much, she brings them to life so vividly, its amazing. Thanks!

Hi! I've not read that particular author, so am unsure about the writing style. I recommended some of my favourite explicit fics here and here, and here are some more fluffy feelings-filled vanilla-ish explicit fics from my bookmarks...

To Look Upon Tempests by firenzia (E)

It's only a few months since the Apocalypse, and since a certain angel and demon finally confessed their feelings for one another.

During one terribly cold, stormy December night, Aziraphale and Crowley are keeping each other very warm.

The Inherent Longing and Romanticism of the Passenger Seat by FacetiousKitten (E)

Or: Five times Aziraphale was brave, and one time he didn’t have to be.

The Light Slipping Through by cheerios_and_wine (E)

Crowley and Aziraphale are together Post-Apocanot but Crowley's been hiding part of himself during sex. Can he trust that Aziraphale will accept him as he is?

I'm Not Over You, Can I Get Back Under? by MovesLikeBucky (E)

The trouble started right there in Berkeley Square.  Right after they decided to go to lunch. Aziraphale had taken his hand as they walked to the Ritz and time had just stopped.  And not in the overwrought, waxing poetic kind of way either. No, time had literally stopped.

Everything but Crowley had stopped.  Birds hovered in the air, the wind stayed in place, the whole nine.  Even Aziraphale had been frozen in place, smile beaming on his face mid-turn towards Crowley.

It had taken a fair bit of effort to start it back up again; then they continued on like nothing happened.  Aziraphale was smiling and talking animatedly with no idea of what had transpired, and their fingers stayed intertwined all the way to the restaurant.  It was nice, this affection thing.  He thought he might be able to get used to it. 

Earthly Pleasures by AstroGirl (E)

Aziraphale has always thought that human sex looks like a great deal of fun. Perhaps now it's something he and Crowley can enjoy together.

the voice under all silences by ShadyCakes (E)

He can’t do this.

“Can I—” he bursts, stops, overflows again. “Would it be too terribly forward of me to ask—”

This is so much. How can small words hold so much? Perhaps he can keep it in, after all. If the words can hold it, maybe he can too. Maybe he won’t crack and rupture.

Or: After the bus ride back from Tadfield and the erstwhile End of the World, Aziraphale reaches his breaking point.
