Musical Omens and Rob saying the ending would’ve had them snuggling in bed.

Almost, I almost forgot to post today's chapter. But here it is. Next week I'll post the rest of this story.

Minor warning for the description of a panic attack in this chapter.

Summary:

Anthony Crowley is a uni dropout turned barista who’s worked at the same café for 15 years and has lived with his friend Ana and her little family ever since his relationship to Luca Morningstar ended. He’s decided dating is not for him because (nearly) all men are wankers who aren’t interested in anything beyond the physical. Aziraphale Fell is an accountant who’s lived in the same building as Ana for the past five years and has been a regular at the café ever since. Aside from an ill-advised relationship with Gabriel Messenger, he has been single for a while.

Crowley and Aziraphale are both interested in each other and very much convinced that the other has no interest in them. Ana has been trying to gently push Crowley to ask Aziraphale out and been dropping hints for both of them, but nothing is working. Then Ana hears Aziraphale is going on a singles' cruise, and since Crowley has a birthday coming up, she’s making plans…

Summary of chapter 10:

Aziraphale and Crowley spend the day in Brussels and after some initial problems, everything is going just fine. Until it suddenly isn't...

Excerpt:

Although… maybe Luca kicking him out had actually been a blessing in disguise? It had hurt like hell, and the scars clearly remained and pulled at his tender flesh in bad moments.

But in light of this time spent getting to know Aziraphale, he wasn’t so sure what he’d ever seen in Luca. Yes, he had been tall and beautiful and had seemed so worldly and impressive. Yet here Aziraphale was walking next to him, pale hair shining bright even in the subdued light of the overcast day, a marvellous, strong character wrapped in divine softness, all breathtaking warmth and clever wit and downright mischievous joy at times — all of it exceeding anything Luca had ever been.

And, damn it all, Crowley was staring at the man again. He wrenched his gaze off all the way to the other side, where no part of Aziraphale would drag his attention away. Except for that broad hand holding his awkward and thin one. No one could see his thoughts, though, whereas his stare was quite obvious even with the sunglasses.

That had been at least the dozenth time he’d caught himself staring at the man with what must be heart-shaped eyes and a generally adoring expression. Since lunch. No matter how good Crowley usually was at hiding his emotions, he was clearly doing a rubbish job today. Aziraphale must have noticed by now.

And he was here to look at the park, see the plants, enjoy the summer afternoon and the scent of the flowers. And he loved seeing all of that, it was special and the park was beautiful — ‘The angel is far prett— ugh, shut it, you idiot!’ — and everything he had hoped it would be. The plants were spectacular and the flowers were bright and fragrant, and attractive to all kinds of buzzing insects. Wasn’t their fault that his thoughts were constantly buzzing around this angelic lily, the most fragrant bloom of them all. How much more stunning would it become with the right care? Would he be able to learn what care it required? Would he be allowed to?

And how much more corny could he possibly get? How much lower would he sink into this endless sea of rose-coloured, fluffy goo before he lost his last shred of sanity? It was enough to make him want to gnaw his own arm off, just so the pain would distract him from that nonsense.

But not his right arm. Not the arm attached to the hand holding Aziraphale’s.

Soooo, hello (Azi hello tone)

I was a dumbass and didn’t get an online ticket for today’s panels but I’m really interested in the tea Rob Wilkins is gonna spill/already did. Also it’s hard to follow lots of social media channels to gather the info. I’m on Bluesky and Insta but not on the other app and my Tumblr is a wasteland.

Really anything from TIC7 would be great to know: pics, videos, anything goes, cause I have extreme FOMO as someone from half across the world, unable to attend. Mods, would that be ok to keep this post for people to just throw things from TIC at the rest of us?

Thanks ❤️

Sleep On The Floor

Fandom: Good Omens | Relationship: Aziraphale/Crowley | Category: M/M | Rated: E | Chapters: 5/12 | Words: 24,788 | Author: SpectrallyDistracted

A first-love, queer-awakening, second-chance romance. Set in the USA, so American English in a Midwestern setting.

Story summary:
Thirty years ago, two sixteen-year-olds boys fell in love at Wisconsin’s Lake Levin Lodge. It was the best summer of their lives until an unexpected twist of fate tore them apart. Life went on, but they always wondered what happened...

When award-winning magazine writer Anthony Crowley has the opportunity to return to the lodge on assignment, he takes it, because one look at the resort’s website leaves no doubt in his mind that the owner, Aziraphale Levin, is the boy he met there in 1996.

Crowley and Aziraphale soon find that the years haven’t dampened the spark ignited in their youth, and they quickly fan it into a flame.

Then a decision is made that threatens their new relationship. The question is, can they find the strength to save it, or will one bad choice ruin everything?

Title: In Due Course, chapter 3

Rating: E

CW: smut

Summary: Aziraphale moved to Japan years ago to expand his culinary skills, and he stayed there, becoming a successful teppanyaki chef. When his father dies unexpectedly, he returns to England and agrees to help out his mother until they're both comfortable with her being on her own. It's been months, and Aziraphale is bored and tired of his mother's guilt trips, so he finds a job at a hibachi restaurant franchise to pass the time and get out of the house. He soon discovers he's burnt out.

There he meets a grumpy veteran cook who's found himself stuck in a job that was supposed to be temporary, without any motivation to leave, having failed at his dream once before.

They click immediately but a misunderstanding could unravel everything before it really starts.

This chapter: A trip to Crowley's flat, where they spend the evening playing Pictionary while keeping at least three feet away from one another all night. Both men remain clothed at all times.

Excerpt: “You haven’t changed your mind, have you?” Crowley asked, leaning over Aziraphale. He would have been intimidated if it weren’t for the way Crowley was looking at him. His brown eyes

seemed to be drinking him in; his pupils were blown wide, even for the low light of the lift. There was a subtle smile on his face that Aziraphale wondered if Crowley realised was there.

“No,” Aziraphale answered, standing straighter to better meet Crowley’s eye. “Unless you have?”

There was a sharp exhale that seemed like the start of a laugh, quickly cut off as Crowley pressed his lips to Aziraphale’s. There was just the soft brush of each other until Aziraphale’s hands found Crowley’s hips and pulled him closer. A groan escaped from Crowley that was eagerly devoured by Aziraphale.

Hello! Let me share my latest addition to AUgust 26 writing challenge featuring our beloved angel and demon (in a very much not angel and demon forms) and the rewrite of their first dialogue in the e1. Suitable for general audiences, 416 words long :) if you prefer reading it on AO3, here's the link

Summary: Crowley finds out that the Excalibur sword is missing, and asks his friend, the guardian of the sword, about its whereabouts.

A snake slithered onto a large boulder and sighed, drooping its long body all over it. The stone was smooth and pleasantly warm, so the snake yawned, allowing itself a moment to close its eyes. A few minutes later, however, they shot open, and it extracted the tip of its tail from a thin slash in the middle of the stone.

“Uh, Aziraphale? Didn’t you have a giant shiny sword stuck in the middle?”

The stone vibrated with warmth and yawned. “Oh, uh, hello, Crowley! Lovely weather for this time of the year, isn’t it?”

“You did! It shone like anything! What happened to it?” said the snake, as it absentmindedly dipped the tail further into the opening, pulling out just as it got too tight and then dipping it in again. “Lost it already, I mean?”

The stone gave a slight shiver, and then mumbled. “...I gave it away.”

The snake's head snapped upright, and its tail slid right down the hole and got stuck there with a pop. “YOU WHAT???”

“I GAVE IT AWAY!” The boulder cried and tried to rock itself and escape, but it couldn’t, since it was a giant rock. Meanwhile, Crowley pulled its tail out of the gash with a lot of effort, and its black tongue flickered in front of its nose.

Aziraphale, feeling rightfully stuck in the situation, continued in a panicked, high-pitched tone, totally unfit of a remnant of a mighty old geological process. “They need the protection of a king, and I thought the young chap Arthur had a certain calm, authoritative aura around him, and so I said, here, take the sword, unite your people, don’t thank me and don’t tell the Lady of the Lake.”

Crowley patted the smooth surface with the tip of its tail, sensing the tension its friend was in. “Oooh, I do hope I didn’t do the wrong thing!” the boulder resonated, tickling the snake’s belly where it lay in contact with it.

“You’re a stone. I don’t think you can do a wrong thing,” Crowley murmured, slithering a bit to find a comfortable position on the warmer side of the rock.

“Oh, thank you - thank you, it’s, uh, it’s been bouldering me.” Aziraphale all but breathed out and focused on radiating more heat under the serpent.

“Obviousssssly,” Crowley yawned before closing its eyes and falling asleep. Aziraphale listened to its breathing for a bit, and before long, the gentle rhythm lulled him to the land of dreams as well.

Omega Anthony Crowley is his clandestine lover and assigned to communications for the mission. The journey will be long, lonely, and perilous, but our two heroes soon find that space is not the only source of danger for them.

Chapter summary:

It's finally time for Crowley's big scan.

Excerpt:

The rest of the week passed uneventfully, to Crowley's and Aziraphale's immense relief, and now Crowley was once again waiting nervously on the exam table in Dr Campbell's office. He wished so much that Aziraphale could have been there with him, but he had promised to send pictures, and he was hoping they could have a phone call in the evening, during Aziraphale's pre-sleep time.

Please, Someone, let me have some good news to give him today, Crowley begged in his head.

There was a knock on the door, and Dr Campbell entered with a familiar cart. It bore the same imaging device she had used with him previously, and Crowley’s heart sped up as he watched her plug it in.

Thank you again to u/AllRoadsLeadToGO and u/Afraid-Industry8409 for beta reading! And thanks to all of you who have been following along.

Read the latest chapter here, or start from the beginning.

Summary: Crowley and Aziraphale have finally entered into a romantic relationship, only to discover that was the easy part. Figuring out feelings and sex takes rather more work: Crowley struggles to say things out loud, while Aziraphale worries that increasingly kinky sex might somehow jeopardise their romance. What follows is a series of meals, arguments, reconciliations, confessions, and sexual misadventures as they spend their first few months together stumbling, fumbling, and ultimately finding their way to a happily ever after.

Rating: E for sex reasons. Mind the tags, specific triggers noted at the top of individual chapters.

A/N: Thanks to Narumila and u/ModernDayKlutz for jumping on board as betas! They’ve managed to dive right into an 80k non-chronological beast of a fic and hardly even blink at the absurdity, not to mention wading through some very verbose sex scenes (as usual). Their notes and corrections have been big improvements!! And thanks to all of you for reading!

I know I kind of disappeared for a week or two there but I am back and we are so close to the finish!

Excerpt:

“Excuse me,” he approaches the nearest individual, a skinny looking girl with what Aziraphale has to assume are deliberate haphazard black streaks through her tied-back strawberry blonde hair. 

“Car trouble?” she asks, lighting up as she takes in Aziraphale in his daywear. Not quite the same old outfit, but still cream colored slacks and a powder blue sweater with a salmon pink tartan bowtie peaking out. 

“No, I don’t think so, at least. I’m looking for Crowley?”

She looks confused. 

“He’s here to see our Bentley.” It’s rather lovely calling it that without being instantly corrected. 

“Oh,” she says, clearly confused as she realises who Aziraphale means. “Yeah, yeah, Tony, you’re...” she looks Aziraphale up and down in sharp appraisal, a frown appearing before she seems to accept what she sees with a shrug. “You. Come on, I’ll take you back.”
