Good Omens Fic Recs

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.

That one video of the two girlfriends proposing each other had VERY strong Aziraphale x Crowley vibes… so… I just had to do it. Also shooketh Gabriel and Belzebub in the background, my pleasure

Good Omens | 2.06 - "Every day" (2023)

“In The Wee Free Men, the village has a tradition of burying a shepherd with a piece of wool on his shroud, so that the recording angel will excuse him all those times during lambing when he failed to attend church — because a good shepherd should know that the sheep come first. I didn’t make that up. They used to do that in a village two miles from where I live. What I particularly liked about it was the implicit loyalist arrangement with God. Americans, I think, sometimes get puzzled by people in Ireland who call themselves loyalists yet would apparently up arms against the forces of the crown. But a loyalist arrangement is a dynamic accord. It doesn’t mean we will be blindly loyal to you. It means we will be loyal to you if you are loyal to us. If you act the way we think a king should act, you can be our king. And it seemed to me that these humble people of the village, putting their little piece of wool on the shroud, were saying, “If you are the God we think you are, you will understand. And if you are not the God we think you are, to Hell with you.” So much of Discworld has come from odd serendipitous discoveries like that.”

—  - Terry Pratchett, “Straight from the Heart, via the Groin,” A Slip of the Keyboard (via thelonelyskeptic)

suddenly remembered this poem as i was making breakfast this morning & frantically googled “poem remembered to buy eggs?????????” & somehow managed to find it & it utterly knocked the wind out of me just as much as when i first read it
