I've been thinking about this scene a lot and how kind Crowley is to Aziraphale, being a safe harbor for Aziraphale, something heaven was supposed to be to Crowley but never was.

Good Omens fic recs #19
Bark Dust by rfsmiley - A/C, 8k words. Aziraphale and Crowley meet in the middle of the Saxon Wars, and when Crowley is injured with a blessed sword, Aziraphale takes care of him. I'd say physical hurt/comfort is pretty rare in this fandom for obvious reasons, but this is a stellar example of it.
a lighthouse (burning) by books-and-omens - A/C, 108k words. It's hard to categorize this fic -- it's a time travel story and a ghost story and psychological horror and also on occasion deeply romantic. The basic story is that Aziraphale and Crowley travel to an empty lighthouse to investigate why the humans who kept it have disappeared, and then they get caught up in something wild. There's a lot of hurt in this before you get any comfort, but it is worth pushing through.
One Night In Bangor (And the World's Your Oyster) by Atalan - A/C, 17k words. Another very funny fic in the genre of Heaven and Hell having shared corporate parties. The demons have a bet over who can get an angel into bed. Crowley and Aziraphale use it as an excuse to hang out together.
come raise your flag upon me by trinityofone - A/C, 5k words.
At the end of S2, Crowley agrees to come to Heaven, and loses his memory when he is "forgiven," but immediately begins to cause trouble (like the demon we love). This is NOT as angsty as you would expect, because sometimes you need some light-hearted amnesia, I am not kidding about this. S2 wrecked us enough.
Greedy Ducks by orphan_account - A/C, 6k words. In desperation, Crowley sent Aziraphale an email right before Armageddidn't, never expecting him to read it. Thing is, after the world doesn't end, Aziraphale does read it, and it changes everything.

My contribution to the Good Omens High Pollen Count event:
----
“I know absolutely everything in my shop.”
It had been a lovely afternoon in the bookshop, accompanied by a few lovely bottles of wine. Aziraphale and Crowley were sprawled on opposite seats in the back room.
“Everything? You can’t possibly.”
“I can, and I do. A great many things! But especially this,” he gestures around at what he considers his artful clutter.
Crowley looks skeptical. “Every title in here, you reckon?”
“Of course.”
“Every little note stashed away? Old trinkets?”
“Absolutely! Some of my most prized possessions.”
“Everything in the back room, even? With the boxes, and… all that?”
“I said everything, Crowley, and I meant it. This is my domain! I know all of its contents, I know where everything is, and I’d know if something were misplaced.”
“The Geographia Cosmographia. Where is it? Quick.”
“Rear Western stacks, second shelf from the bottom, to the left.”
“Alright, easy enough to do the rare ones. How about the last paperback you read?”
“The Yoshomizo, you mean? On the shelf under the side table in the back room.”
“The pressed lavender stem I gave you in Nice.”
“Bottom desk drawer on the right. Nice and cozy,” Aziraphale wiggles.
Crowley groans. “You really kept it, though?”
“Of course!”
“Alright, alright. That box of paperclips that moves all around, where is it now?”
“Under the corner of my Personal Computer’s keyboard. It’s got a wobble.”
“Hmm. And your tea bag from last night?”
“Still in the cup, on its saucer, beside my chair in the back room.”
“Angel…”
“Oh, don’t start about the washing up again. Honestly, Crowley. The dust has never harmed you, and neither do old tea bags. Try putting some things in your flat sometime, you might like it.”
“Never mind my flat, we’re talking about your shop,” Crowley continues. “It’s fine to know where things are and even to recognize when something new is added. But how can you be sure there’s nothing missing? ‘S not like Adam knew every volume on every shelf.”
“I don’t see how he’d know any of them.”
“Well, exactly.”
Aziraphale considers. “I’d know.”
A smile starts across Crowley’s face. “Would you?”
“Certainly. I’d feel it missing immediately. Everything in here has a purpose, Crowley, and… and a story, and a personal significance to me. Even that old tea bag, in its way! And so yes, of course I’d know if anything were amiss.”
“I bet I could take something out of here today, and you’d never know. It’d be years before you noticed it was gone.”
“You wouldn’t do any such thing, because you respect my belongings! And me! And you wouldn’t go rifling through my things to prove a silly point,” Aziraphale admonishes. Sniffs.
“And anyway, I would notice straight away.”

CROWLEY’S LAMENT!!!
youtube
At long last, it’s here! My eight minute Good Omens-inspired rock opera/character study Crowley’s Lament is out TODAY. This has been such a labor of love for the better part of a year, and I am unbelievably proud to finally present it to all of you. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll headbang. You’ll squeal. I hope you enjoy my music, lyrics, and Walmart David Tennant voice. To the World, everyone!!!
Special thanks to @holmee for the GORGEOUS thumbnail art- I asked for Crowley dramatically sprawled out on a piano and she couldn’t have possibly delivered finer results.

I'm learning to work with alcohol markers and colored pencils, and what is a better training than drawing Crowley through ages?

Sometimes, in the show, when the light hits Crowley just right and he is in side profile, the arm of his glasses behind his ear looks like the piece of an industrual ear piercing and I can't stop thinking about how DAMN GOOD IT WOULD LOOK ON HIM!? It just feels so right for him.
The ear piercing has now entered personal my headcanon for him, together with the black nailpolish 👌
I only used traditional media in the past and just recently got myself an iPad to try more digital. It's a lot of fun! This took me a stupidly long time, but HERE'S MY ✨VISION✨ I'm not super happy with the colors, but hey, i'll keep experimenting.
