    Here you will find links to most of my stories (crossposted to SW) ,the occasional excerpt, my complaints thoughts about writing in general and fanfiction in particular, and anything I might want to reblog from the various fandoms I write in.

    Specifics below the cut.

  • Image 1/5: An illustration of Crowley & Aziraphale from the show Good Omens. Aziraphale is contentedly sitting on a tufted chair: one leg crossed, reading a book, scotch in hand. Crowley looms, looking down at him with INTENT behind his eyes. He’s made quite a dent in his scotch. Aziraphale is completely oblivious.  Caption: I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
    Image 2/5: Crowley leans over Aziraphale, his knee on the chair as he sets his scotch aside. Aziraphale looks up and notices him for the first time as he idly turns a page.  Caption: There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
    Image 3/5: Crowley is fully straddling Aziraphale in his chair now, calmly taking off his reading glasses and setting aside his book for him. Aziraphale looks up at Crowley, curious, no longer distracted. He goes to set his drink down.  Caption: You’re like the finish of a novel that I’ll finally have to take to bed (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
    Image 4/5: Crowley leans in to cup Aziraphale’s face, his thumb between his lips. Aziraphale is flustered, blushed. The scotch is dropped to the floor and long forgotten as he tries to figure out where to put his hands.  Caption: You Fascinate Me (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT
    Image 5/5: IN FOR THE KILL. Crowley leans in to kiss Aziraphale, one hand on his cheek while the other grips the back of his neck. Aziraphale sits up, leans forward, and gives himself permission to enjoy this. His hands are still tentative, but he’ll figure it out soon enough.  Caption: …So. (lyrics from You Fascinate Me So by Blossom Dearie)ALT

    I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head
    There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know
    You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed
    You fascinate me
    so

    ...And a reblog with a couple detail shots, as a treat. 🖤

  • Anyway, Tech and Phee would (will) be that hyper-competent adventure couple who would also absolutely awaken the ancient horrors on purpose on a bi-monthly basis.

  • Okay but about these tags:

    #he decides the best way to avoid being cooked alive
    #is to blow up the venator engine while they’re all inside

    I am NEVER EVER going to be over this NOT EVER. Yes, getting the Marauder impounded on purpose was wild, yes so was 'let's ride the lizards to safety', but like, the absolute pinnacle of Tech Solutions is still from Reunion: we can solve the problem of being incinerated in the exhaust nozzle or shot by Crosshair by introducing a third, worse option, which is blowing the exhaust nozzle cone off the combustion chamber thus allowing everyone ELSE to deal with the engine while we ride to our possible though not 100% guaranteed doom and maybe, if we live, escape in the ensuing chaos.

  • Omega, hearing this plan: And FALL. All the way DOWN??!??

    And these tags:

    #how does anyone expect me to think #this man is dead from ‘falling off a thing’ #are we for real with that because

    Yep. This show is (at least) 0/2 for big dramatic falls killing main characters. Falling with that engine could have and maybe should have killed them—it’s like falling with an elevator when its cables get cut on the fifteenth floor. Besides everything else *gestures vaguely at the combination of storytelling conventions, foreshadowing, Tech’s demonstrated history of hitting long odds, and vague cast and crew statements* you can’t expect me to believe that Tech died in a fall when that has never done any serious harm to a single main character on the show.

    Edit: Wait, I also just remembered about that time Omega was in an escape pod that failed and fell into the clouds above *mumble whatever the name of the planet in ‘Bounty Lost’ is mumble* but was fine because something turned up to catch the pod. So. 0/3 for on screen dramatic falls killing any of our mains.

  • This just all expands on why I don’t get it when people want to claim anyone questioning his death is 'delusional’. Like, how? The show has only ever displayed death of someone consequential as happening face to face, visceral, direct, obvious, plain. But this time it’s all different? Sounds fake but okay.

  • I love that one exchange in “Entombed” that’s basically like:

    Tech: If removing the heart of the mountain activated it, then perhaps we must return it to its proper place to deactivate it.

    Tech:*bats his big brown eyes at her*

    Phee, internally: *oh shit*

    Phee, externally: Do you know how much this is worth?? It’s what we came for!

  • Phee like 'UGH it's not fair he can just look at me like that and I do whatever crazy ass thing he suggests'.

  • Yyeeesss.

    I’d like to think it works in reverse, too.

    Phee: You ever heard the legend of the treasure of Keel Darr? Pretty big haul there. Interesting ruins, undeciphered scripts, gorgeous seaside country…

    Tech: It sounds perfect, but Echo might need us for a mission and I am not sure right now is the best time to—

    Phee: ✨✨✨It’ll be fuuuuuunn and we can use the profits to help people✨✨✨ *bats HER big brown eyes at him*

    Tech: So when do we leave?

  • Echo: …you what?

    Tech: I am going to Keel Darr, it will be at least three rotations, so I will not be in time for the mission.

    Echo: What the fuck is on Keel Darr.

    Hunter: Yeah, what IS on Keel Darr?

    Tech: Well, there are ruins, interesting species, some items which could be sold or traded for–

    Crosshair, who is not fooled: *Phee* is on Keel Darr.

    Hunter and Echo: …

    Tech: She is NOT on Keel Darr. Not yet. But, she will be. And–
