Sherlock being all flirty and cute with Watson because he doesn't want to clean up the tons of paper he's got scattered everywhere is....sigh...kinda relatable ☺️😂

My Beatles book collection so far. 35 about the group, 7 about John, 3 about Paul, 2 about Ringo, 5 about McLennon, oops, I mean, Lennon-McCartney 😛, and 1 book about Beatles songs for the harmonica. 

A useful thing to know about AO3 tags is that they're wrangled by humans. A human being will read your tag, understand what it means*, and then connect that tag in the backend system to other tags that mean the same thing (if there are any)

that's why, for example, the tags

not beta read

no beta

no beta we die like men

no beta we die like mne

no beta we die like [insert character who dies in canon]

unbetad

unbeta'd

unbeta-d

un-beta'd

and a million more versions are all searchable and filterable if you just tag one of them. A Tag Wrangler (the job title of a human volunteer who manages AO3 tags) has made sure that AO3 understands that those are all synonyms, so AO3 treats them that way.

When you're tagging your fic, or searching for a fic, or filtering a tag to find or remove works from the list you do not have to use every possible version of a tag. You just need to pick one - unless using more is a stylistic choice you're making, in which case have at it.

*or research what it means - which is why wranglers really appreciate it if you put (OC) behind the name of your original characters so that they don't have to scour every source they can find to see if it's a named background character in canon.

WE CAN'T...OR WE CAN

A:"we...we can't..."

C:"Oh fuck...say it again, angel."

A:"We can't...we can't, Crowley...oh god..."

C:"Yes...yes, the more you say it the more you turn me on..mmh"

A:"We can't, it's wrong...it's absolutely irreverent and...oh fuck...fuck..."

C:"Keep going, angel...don't stop..."

A:"What would the others say if they found us like this..."

C:"Like how, angel?...Aah, describe it..."

A:"Me...me on top of you...naked...as we grind...as we touch...as we savor each other...both so close to coming..."

C:"Yes...yes fuck, keep going...keep singing..."

A:"...while you're inside me...as I enjoy every thrust of yours...and I pant...I pant your name loudly...as I scratch your back...as I move my hips towards you to make you continue...please, please keep making me moan and wet the blankets we're lying on...."

C:"Yes...Ah ah angel...I'm about to come..."

I'm at the Scarborough Renaissance Faire right now 🩷. Anyone else here? 💐

Good catch!

I love how Crowley and Aziraphale's teeny little half miracles to hide Gabriel actually worked because when Michael, Uriel, and Saraqael show up at the bookshop they don't recognize him at all. It's such great continuity.

My favorite part:

Michael looking at Gabriel, "Don't I--don't I know you?"

Gabriel, intently, "Yes. You do. I'm the assistant book seller. I opened the door for you."

"I don't trust him anymore. I don't trust him. We're starting from square one again and it's up to him to build his integrity back."

The 16-year-old who rung up my order and made my lemonade guessed that I'm 25. We were talking about how hard it is to guess other people's ages. I'm actually 44. Everyone typically thinks I'm younger than I am, which usually works to my advantage because I'm also adorable 🥰😂🤣😆 Overall, it beats the alternative, which is people saying, "Hello you old hag! How are the great-grandkids?"
