11, 14, and 30 for the GO fic game please : )

11. South Downs Cottage

You betcha by golly wow by NaroMoreau (3k, T) Crowley makes a huge mistake moving out to South Downs with the angel. One mistake only Aziraphale can fix.

14. There is only one Bed

Waking Up Slow by the_moonmoth (87k, E) “Then you’ll just have to come back with me," Aziraphale said. “You what?” “You’ll have to come and isolate with me, at my cottage.” The thing about messing with people, Crowley thought, was that sometimes, they genuinely surprised you. After both being exposed to coronavirus, total strangers Crowley and Aziraphale are forced to wait out their isolation together. A tale of soft winter romance by the sea.

30. Florist AU

No Picture Can Express by nutmeag83 (12k, T) Ezra Fell prefers books (and discretely watching the lovely florist down the street) to social media, but takes up the hobby at Madame Tracy's urging. Anthony Crowley has been pining after his neighbor for ages, happy to keep his distance until Ezra asks him to tutor him in using Instagram. They find they have more in common than just having shops on the same block in Soho.

Good morning Lauren! Just wanted to stop by and thank you for all the beautiful gifsets you make. Every time they come across my dash I get a big old smile on my face 😁 Have a fabulous weekend! (Fingers crossed you get some new material when David wins his BAFTA tomorrow 💕)

Thank you!!! 🥰🥰 It makes me so happy to see people enjoying them! 😁 And yesssss, fingers crossed!!!

[mithrilhearts]

OMG RAZZY YOU’RE WATCHING GOOD OMENS NOW???!!!!! FUCKING YAASSSSSSS AAHHHHHH I am so so so excited you have no idea!!! Come join me in the Ineffable Spouses brainroooottttt 😁😁😁

YES!!!!!!!! I am so slow when it comes to watching shows, but I finally finished season one, and tomorrow night I start season two! It's something me, my sister, and her husband started together, so we're trying to watch it whenever we all have the time.

I love dragging them into new fandom spaces lololol

BUT YEAH!!!! AZIRACROW, INEFFABLE HUSBANDS!! SPOUSES!!! WHATEVER!!

I'm ready for whatever ache season two is going to give me.

[winderlylandchime]

O and X for the fandom game!! xx

O. Choose one song at random. What ship or character does it remind you of?

I just picked a song that was up next on my playlist and it's Ex's & Oh's by Elle King. The first lines of the song are:

Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man / I showed him all the things that he didn't understand / Whoa, and then I let him go

I joke about how everything can relate to a blorbo or ship if you're strong and brave enough but truly these lines describe Brian/Justin from QAF perfectly.

X. A trope you're almost certain to love in any fandom.

I am 100% a hurt/comfort girlie. Give me all the vulnerability and the care and concern. I also very much fuck with yearning and pining, extra props to fucking-while-pining.

Help me procrastinate all the things today!

Heyyyyyyy lovely how are you? Read any good fic lately?

Hello my dear! The answer to this is always of course, though I've been pinwheeling through different pairings and fandoms (though what else is new) because I haven't had a hyperfixation since Good Omens :(

I'll list a few from different recent fandoms. My bookmarks tend to be more mature or explicit ratings and longer fics because I love a good established dynamic

Mystrade (Mycroft Holmes x Greg Lestrade from BBC Sherlock)

I've been reading for these two since October now so there's definitely a few for them.

Paperback Writer by meansgirl

Rated E and totaling 82 265 words, this was an awesome fic where it's technically still canonverse only Greg is secretly an erotica author who just so happens to be Mycroft's favourite. So then of course Mycroft finds out.

Human Remains by Saziikins

This series lives in my head rent free and is so wonderful. It's canon compliant and a very slow burn of Mycroft and Greg getting together and then making a relationship work. Rated E, it's got 3 works in it and totals around 900k words, but the second work is a retelling of the first from Mycroft's POV instead of Greg's.

Pater Noster by manic_intent

Another rent free series, this one is Mystrade but set in the Good Omens universe where Mycroft is a high ranking demon and Greg a lower tier angel. So of course after being brought together a very human Sherlock, they fall in love. Eventually. I adored every bit of it, there's 3 works numbering at 26k words and it's so much fun.

Which brings me to some other recent goodies....

Ineffable Husbands (Crowley x Aziraphale from Good Omens)

Ah, my beloveds. I only listed three here but I have a ton of bookmarks saved for them that I am only too happy to share, should anyone need some recs

Not For All My Little Words by mia_ugly and soft_october

Rated E and about 8k words, this is set post season 2 and is Aziraphale and Crowley's reunion and apology.

you're not a religious person (but) by isozyme

Some snippets of Aziraphale and Crowley over the years. Historical fics for these two are some of my favorites and this fic takes us through some great moments to post season one. Super cute, rated M and nearly 20k words.

post-professional endeavors by darcylindbergh

A look at Aziraphale and Crowley figuring themselves out in retirement, as told from the POV of their poor realtor and other humans involved. I love outsider POV fics and this was top tier. Rated T and about 9k words, it was extremely cute.

Some honorable mentions:

What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees by riosnecktattoo

If you're in the NBC Good Girls fandom you'll probably already know this author, because everything they write is phenomenal, but this fic was lovely. A friends to lovers AU for Beth and Rio that still kept the original characterizations, I can't recommend it enough. Rated E, about 77k words.

Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower

A Xedgin fic for DND: Honour Among Thieves. It's a fuck or die curse fic with just enough plot for me to be invested. Edgin is great, Xenk is great, and the smut is great. Enough said. Rated E, 16k+ words.

The Veretian Flytrap by Just_Another_Day

A Dament fic for the Captive Prince fandom, this fic is a great twist on the canon story if Damen and Laurent were an Alpha/Omega pairing. Super in character and has all the greatness of the trilogy itself, I loved it. Rated E (obviously) and is 176k+ words.

Alright, I'll wrap it up here, but I hope there's something in here that interests you! If you want anything more specific (a certain fandom, pairing, rating, etc.) then just let me know and I will have another list for you asap <3

Anyone else with some good fic recs feel free to drop them in the replies or reblogs :)

[nelsonandspringforever]

Fanmix game! List three songs you associate with either your blorbo or your otp, then pass this on to three other people!

i’m not cool like you and i can’t do the link thing but here we go lol

OTP: Nick and Charlie duh

Song 1: Snow On The Beach by Taylor Swift ft. Lana Del Rey

“I’ve never seen someone lit from within blurring out my periphery”

“You wanting me tonight feels impossible”

“I can’t speak, afraid to jinx it/I don’t even dare to wish it”

Song 2: In My Head by Andrew Barth Feldman and Joe Serafini

“What if this is something? What if this is nothing? What if this is in my head?”

“God he’s hot and perfect/You’re not good enough for him”

“ ‘Cause even if it’s just a thought inside my head my heart is telling me don’t stop”

Song 3: You Are In Love by Taylor Swift

“You keep his shirt, he keeps his word”

“One night he wakes, strange look on his face/Pauses then says, ‘you’re my best friend’”

“You can hear it in the silence/You can feel it in the way home/You can see it with the lights out”

nobody say anything about the two taylor songs okay? i’m a swiftie first and a human second lol

Aw thank you @isortofwriteit for the tag! :D

Get to know you game! Answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to know better!

Last song listened to: Always On My Mind by the Pet Shop Boys (All of Us Strangers got this song stuck in my head for 2 weeks straight when I saw it and I'm not mad at all)

Currently reading: Just finished Hamlet and am now re-reading it again but faster because i put a few too many days between parts of it and realize I kind of lost the grasp of the proximity of some of the more minor events (I also read parts while waiting for my sleep meds to kick in so that might also be why).

Currently watching: Just started s3e5 of The Witcher, starting Season 3 of Broadchurch on Thursday (trying to put 5 days between each ep), and recently finished season 2 of Staged, so gonna watch the special and then season 3 soon

Currently obsessed with: David Tennant, Crowley and Good Omens still, and trying to get well and to something resembling thriving rather than just surviving 🤙

Hey Addi! Happy 2024!! Just wondering, what do you use to make gifs? I’m trying to be more creative this year so I thought I’d try my hand at that but I have no idea where to start 🙈 Thanks love x

hi kate! happy new year right back at you! 🍾🎉🎆

getting into making gifs can be a bit daunting and there's like. a billion ways to do it (and even more tutorials), but listing the programs i (and probably?? many more) us should be a good start :)

i use Daum PotPlayer (to get those juicy frames) (i hate the "convert video into frames" function in ps - it's wonky and never works properly) (so i'm doing it manually) and Photoshop CC 2015 (to actually create and edit the gifs)

you can download potplayer for free and it's a really nice and handy program by itself (100x times better than windows media player lmao). photoshop on the other hand.. well. it's expensive. but there are... ways (iykyk). i actually can't remember where i got mine from; i've been using it for ages. but i think there are older ps versions you can download for free.

there are a lot of tutorials and helpful posts on that matter on this hellsite. the gif maker community is huge and they/we love to share our knowledge! just google "tumblr gif making tutorial" and you should get plenty of posts and tutorials of how things work :D (that's how i started out too!)

i hope this helps! x
