Hello, it’s Monday and I’m procrastinating, so here are some Good Omens fic recs. These are 10 of my favorites, in absolutely no order whatsoever. (Tumblr handles added only where I am sure of them and know offhand the person uses Tumblr.)
The Ark by rfsmiley (T) - Space! Environmentalism and all the complicated feelings an angel and demon might have about the earth and each other.
Instructions Not Included by Atalan (T) - Post-canon, Aziraphale and Crowley open a supernatural detective agency. Shenanigans ensue.
Rip It Up and Start Again by @kittydorkling (E) - Post-canon, South Downs cottage getting-together fic that is just so lovely.
Hot Days, Mad Blood by @noodlefrog-omens (T) - Historical Omens with swordfighting and unresolved tension.
Firebird III. Finale by htebazytook (T) - Book Omens! A pre-TV fic that focuses on the raising-Warlock era and is so smart about music, in a way that I only vaguely understand.
Getting It Right by Lhugy_For_Short (T) - A slightly different take on both the body swap and the pining-through-the-ages story. Features the best Bentley origin story ever.
The Angel Line by @reignbowbrite (E) - Part 1 of a hilarious and sweet series where Crowley channels his feelings into narrating explicit romance audiobooks.
Honor System by htebazytook (E) - Aziraphale and Crowley in the wild west, dealing with the fallout from their holy water disagreement.
Thou Knowest Us Happy (T) by Elisi - Post-canon, Gabriel goes to check up on Aziraphale and gets an eyeful. Somehow much more meaningful and lovely than I just made it sound from that summary.
The Meaning of the Word (T) by @justkeeptrekkin - Post-canon, Aziraphale and Crowley become professors at Oxford to keep an eye on Adam. A sweet and funny look at Aziraphale and Crowley’s changed (or not?) lives post-Armaggedon.
Bonus! shoot.
Anthony J. Crowley, Retired Demon and AirBnb Superhost (G) by TheOldAquarian - Absolutely hilarious meta!fic. I love a meta!fic, don’t you? This one is SO funny.
to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be
Muriel: sweetest angel in the garrison.
I love this so much, I’m gonna start saying “nuts” we need to bring it back
