"sweet surprises" by euterpein | G, oneshot, 15.1k
Aziraphale, for reasons even she can't fathom, has volunteered to help out at the Halloween extravaganza being hosted at Adam's school. Things are going well until a certain red-haired solicitor and her son also get involved... Featuring unfortunate assumptions, secret plots, and an inordinate amount of pining.
notes: starting strong with ineffable wives human au ft. misunderstandings but with fluff instead of angst
Tumblr media
"sweetest downfall" by restlesswanderings | G, oneshot, 9.9k
It hits Aziraphale out of the blue one day that if loving Crowley is a sin then it’s the only sin worth committing. or: some falls are gentle
notes: also ineffable wives romance with a bit of hurt crowley and protective aziraphale
Tumblr media
"with her i would fly" by mickyrc | G, oneshot, 1.4k
Crowley curled up a little tighter, nuzzling her cheek into Aziraphale’s tummy and purring when her fingers dipped into the nook behind her ear. They’d been there for hours already, slowly working through a bottle of wine while Crowley slowly melted into her wife’s side. It's just a quiet night, cuddled together on the couch, and Aziraphale's found a poem that reminds her of Crowley.
notes: ineffable wives again but domestic fluff and cuddling
Tumblr media
"fire in your heart (and your kitchen)" by waitingtobebroken | T+, 2/2, 7k
The most beautiful man that Crowley has ever seen is also the firefighter that keeps having to put out the fires in his kitchen. It just so happens that Crowley is awful at cooking.
notes: crowley starting kitchen fires for an excuse to talk to firefighter aziraphale
Tumblr media
"the bicycle" by thelordoflamancha | G, oneshot, 1.8k
"Lily had heard the rumors about the penthouse flat in this particular building near Berkley Square in Mayfair. She had heard them talk about the mythical snake and the angry man that shouted at all hours of the day. She had seen the library staff consoling shaken door-to-door salespeople, petitioners, and volunteers sheltering in the library lobby after a run in with the owner. She knew the tales of the fearsome man with sharp teeth who would make mincemeat of even the bravest adult to cast their shadow upon his doorstep. Certainly, it was no place for a child. Even the kindly librarian had advised her away from this particular building in her fundraising quest." Or, Crowley helps Lily win the bicycle.
notes: another outsider pov fic but this time it's crowley encouraging corrupt marketing tactics in a kid
Tumblr media
"a familiar bond" by chubbsthefish | T+, 20/20, 38.6k
There is a reason witches are warned not to summon demons. The sleepy town of Tadfield was supposed to be peaceful, a town full of witches practicing their craft without worry of outside persecution. At least it was until someone let a demon loose. But local bookshop owner and garden enthusiast Aziraphale doesn't really care about all that nonsense, not when he has just acquired a new friend and companion in the shape of a Familiar. Crowley just wanted to head back home. But that's getting harder to do now that he's gone and gotten attached to a certain witch, which is bad since he does not want the pure-hearted man to be corrupted by his mere presence.
notes: i can't really fawn over this without spoiling it so just go read it and report back to me
Tumblr media
"something familiar" by joldiego | T+, oneshot, 2.5k
Aziraphale is laid out on the couch, seemingly asleep. This is not shocking. What is shocking, however, is the giant black snake coiled around him from head to toe. Anathema and Newt drop by the bookshop and make a startling discovery. Aziraphale and Crowley are just trying to have a lazy Saturday morning.
notes: outsider pov fic but through the perspective of anathema who can't exactly remember armageddon and thus doesn't know the bible lore around them
Tumblr media
"mine" by joifuldreaming | T+, oneshot, 1.5k
Crowley is oblivious, Aziraphale is jealous.
notes: possessive aziraphale is something i didn't know i needed, but now that it has been brought to my attention, i can't get over it
Tumblr media
"show me the sugar" by waitingtobebroken | T+, oneshot, 4.1k
When the new "couple" moves in the cottage down the road, it's apparent to everyone what their Arrangement is. Rachel, the owner of the pet shop they had just visited, is not so sure anymore. Who was supposed to be the sugar father again?
notes: i've read this one several times, i love it so much, i'm obsessed with outsider pov fics trying to understand what their deal is
PODFIC AVAILABLE
Tumblr media
"find it in the dictionary under 'L'" by his_infinitevariety | G, oneshot, 1.7k
Demons can’t feel love, but Aziraphale can’t help noticing how much Crowley’s suddenly flinging the word around.
notes: one of those fics where aziraphale can sense love but either a) can't feel it from crowley for some reason or b) doesn't know it's him
Tumblr media
"you are home (half of me)" by angelsnuffbox | T+, 5/5, 28.5k
Aziraphale had gotten dumped, plain and simple. But that small detail wasn’t nearly as important as all the things that happened after he’d gotten dumped - such as coming to a few realisations about his best friend of sixteen years.
notes: the epitome of gay people not being able to identify relationships
Tumblr media
"the blinding look from me to you" by restlesswanderings | G, oneshot, 13k
There are nights Crowley aches so deeply she can hardly stand it. Nights where she’ll do anything to rid herself of it. She knows how Aziraphale’s arms feel around her and it’s the worst kind of torture, the worst kind of agony, because she knows she’ll never have it again. or: crowley aches for aziraphale in the best and worst ways
notes: holy shit dude
more elaborate notes: ineffable wives pining throughout the ages, this one is through crowley's pov
Tumblr media
"are you my future or just an escape?" by restlesswanderings | G, oneshot, 20.1k
She wants to kiss Crowley and the urge doesn’t scare her like she thought it would – maybe it’s something she’s wanted all along but hasn’t allowed herself to think about. A dangerous thing, an angel wanting. Even more dangerous for an angel to give in. or: aziraphale can't stop looking at crowley and overthinking everything (companion piece to 'the blinding look from me to you' but can 100% be read alone)
notes: i actually read this one first, this is aziraphale's pov of the previous fic but could be read as a standalone
my ao3 history says "visited 15 times" as if i don't know that
Tumblr media
"spare the righteous" by appleseeds | M, 4/4, 12.7k
When Father Gabriel brings a snake to their chapel and insists the nuns handle the animal as a demonstration of their faith, Sister Aziraphale can't help but be frightened. After a series of visits from Father Gabriel, when everyone in her Order has been bitten by the snake except for Aziraphale, suspicions rise and rumours spread, putting her future amongst them in jeopardy. At least Aziraphale has somebody to confide in about her worries - a lovely woman by the name of Crowley, who has recently started visiting the nunnery's bookshop on a regular basis and has proven herself to be very kind and understanding. Unfortunately for Aziraphale, she's also extraordinarily attractive and a constant source of temptation that Aziraphale isn't entirely sure she wants to resist.
notes: they're lesbians again! i have also read this fic 15+ times
Tumblr media
"unexplained phenomena: or 5 times crowley & aziraphale didn’t kiss for the kiss cam and one time they did" by fractalgeometry | G, oneshot, 2.2k
Emma Rathmore knows everyone who comes to her son’s baseball games. Until she doesn’t. Still, even if she only ever sees these newcomers through the ridiculous new kiss cam, at some point they stop feeling so much like strangers. They’re certainly...interesting. And slightly baffling. But definitely interesting.
notes: outsider pov fic
Tumblr media
“doggone batty” by kedreeva | T+, 4/4, 14.3k
Aziraphale, a werewolf who never fit in well with the rest of his pack, moves into a house he's just inherited a long ways away. The only problem is that he finds there's something more than a little amiss with his new neighbor.
notes: it’s impressive how in-character they are
Tumblr media
“catalyst” by ikarakie | T+, oneshot, 7k
aziraphale spots a new sign on the door of the local brothel. that, a lunch date, and an obnoxious man bully him into finally making his demon actually his. OR aziraphale realises he has competition and immediately does something about it.
notes: starring jealous aziraphale, aka my FAVORITE aziraphale. i love it when he’s a bitch he deserves it
Tumblr media
“all the dreams we had” by impishtubist | T+, 2/2, 6.4k
This time will be different, Aziraphale thinks. This time, Crowley will remember.
notes: this is one of the most devastating fics ever btw it has like…time loop aspects and amnesia at the same time..honestly even if nobody else goes through this whole list i’m glad that i was able to reread it LMAO
Tumblr media
"and it hurt" by ineffabledoll | T+, oneshot, 3.6k
Aziraphale can sense love, but it was never supposed to be like this. The love was never supposed to be for him, for an angel, for beings loved only by God. It was not supposed to grow and grow, the ashen forest of a single spark.
notes: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ABSENCE OF COLD AND PRESENCE OF WARMTH...I AM UNWELL
Tumblr media
"never judge books by their...?" by worseomens | *NR, oneshot, 4.4k
There's a burglary in Soho, right across the road from AZ Fell & Co's Antique Bookseller's. An angel and a demon are called in for questioning, and the detectives involved start to form opinions... (OR: Crowley's a flirt, and Aziraphale doesn't do PDA; people start to get the wrong idea)
*author did not rate fic, but i'd put it between G/T+ with no significant warnings
notes: another outsider pov fic
PODFIC AVAILABLE
Tumblr media
"digging for gold" by worseomens | *NR, oneshot, 5.6k
Crowley finally stops hiding his visits to the bookshop, now the celestial powers-that-be have decided to butt out, only to be faced with a whole new challenge. (OR: The people of Soho make sure this newcomer isn’t about to hurt their beloved local madman)
*same as previous fic
notes: ANOTHER outsider pov fic from the outsider pov series by worseomens (total of 22 fics), this is one of my favorite outsider pov fics ever
Tumblr media
"heavenly wicked cafe" by waitingtobebroken | T+, 7/7, 33.9k
There is a terribly rude barista that makes amazing coffee and a saint of a barista, whose coffee tastes vile. And they are in love.
notes: i wish they knew how to communicate like this in canon
Tumblr media
"from eden ('till armageddon)" by ikarakie | G, oneshot, 3.3k
the british museum needs to take their nose out of crowley's damn business. OR a 200 year old journal full of crowley's pining and confessions ends up on display.
notes: historians finding crowley's diary like damn this guy is so queer we gotta put this on display
Tumblr media
"a model guardian" by fuuma_san | E, 23/23, 147.4k
Crowley is a self-sufficient model on the verge of stardom. They clawed their way up all by themselves and the very last thing they want is some cream puff bodyguard their agency hired following them around constantly. Pretending to be their boyfriend at work so they don't get a reputation as a Diva. Watching over them. Caring for them. But then it turns out "Fell" was not even his real name. Was it all fake? Would someone like him ever want someone like them?
notes: this is a giant leap from mostly oneshots but this is like doing drugs for everyone who loves with a good bodyguard au <3 be sure to check tags for possible trigger warnings
Tumblr media
"revelation" by syrupfactory | M, 4/4, 13.9k
The year is 3021, and Aziraphale and Crowley have been married for a thousand years. Together, they manage the London Archive, a futuristic information hub that stands on the same block that one held a bookstore. An Anglican priest who visits regularly has a huge crush on Aziraphale, and Crowley is amused … until the priest grows bitter enough to make a very poor choice. As it turns out, envy is a bad look for a man of the cloth, and pissing off an angel is far worse.
notes: can you tell i love outsider pov fics? i just need to see what other people think of these freaks
Tumblr media
"candied apples" by pentagrammar | T+, 20/20, 46k
Crowley, his diet being as limited as it is, has never had a craving before. But that is before he saw Aziraphale. At least, he thinks it’s a craving. Now, he is embarrassingly fixated on a single human, and to make matters worse, none of his plans seem to be working. Being a vampire is hard. Meanwhile, Aziraphale is growing increasingly concerned about the odd man who keeps showing up and saying deranged things, and the fact that his dear friend Anathema is convinced that an evil presence has latched itself onto his bookshop.
notes: crowley is sooo dumb my babygirl the love of my life (widely applicable statement to him in general)
Tumblr media
"couldn't resist" by edosianorchids901 & luinlothana | G, oneshot, 3k
When Crowley falls asleep waiting for Aziraphale to finish reading a chapter, the angel has an idea based on photos the demon showed him a few days prior.
notes: snake crowley being dressed up in little outfits GOD i love this
Tumblr media
"snake eyes" by lucy_ferrier | G, oneshot, 3k
Crowley has snake eyes. They look like snake eyes. They function like snake eyes. The thing is snake eyes aren't all that good for seeing with. He doesn't really seem to let it stop him from doing what he wants.
notes: blind crowley with canon typical communication skills (read: none)

Looking for season 1 Good Omens fics?
I have some lists!
Good Omens Human AUs. These were posts on Tumblr that I did for quite a while. You can search them all right here (google doc) so you can find all the librarian or high school AUs, etc. I stopped doing the lists, but I kept up my bookmarks. So for more recent human AUs check out my Ao3 human AU bookmarks.
Good Omens fic recs: I ran this rec series for a couple of years. All season 1 stuff. There were also artist recs!
I am a GO writer myself. My two most popular post-canon season 1 fics are Stranger in Paradise (70k pine forest romance with a happy ending) and the Mr. Fell's Bookshop series (outsider POV queer guardian angel Aziraphale).

Omg I can't even pick one I have SO many favorites... but I am a huge sucker for Human AUs, so.
Or Be Nice - neighbor AU, one of the most popular if not the most popular human AU fics in the fandom, enemies to lovers, Crowley's a drummer, I'm obsessed (around 100k)
Words rarely spoken - love at first sight human AU, autistic/mostly nonverbal Aziraphale, I was reading this since ch3 was being uploaded and I love it SO much, the author is phenomenal (around 350k)
Fifty-Two Blue - SURGEON AU, arguably my favorite human AU I've read, enemies to lovers, very soft and sweet near the end (around 100k)
Demonology and the Tri-Phasic Model of Trauma: An Integrative Approach - not a human AU but THE most popular fic in the fandom, if you havent read it what are you doing etc etc, it's so fucking good. THE crowley therapy fic. I've read it like 15 times and have written a one-shot based on it LMAO I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

@actual-changeling wrote the fic moonlight on your lips (i'll be gone by dawn) and answered the question: wtf happened 1941 between the ineffable idiots, that likely prompted Az famous "you go too fast for me?".
As it happens I have a comic WIP with a very similar plot, which is lurking in my drafts for a while now. I don't know if I will ever finish the comic, so I decided to post the raw WIP instead (long post).

Happy Birthday @ashfae !! 🎉🎂🥂
Tumblr media
It was Ashfae’s birthday this week and for their birthday i created this illustration as an homage to their wonderful fic Like An Echo Far Away:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/52419289
Now, some of you know I don’t get occasion to read a lot of fic because I’m constantly drawing but this one was sized just right and impossibly scorching for a thing that’s less than 3k words so if you haven’t read it, treat yourself. You will not regret it. *fans self*
Tumblr media
So, go! Read! And shower Ashfae with birthday week kudos! ❤️

Though he’d promised Aziraphale his attention, his head was turned towards a screen on his right, and the angle of his camera suggested the phone was tucked at the base of his keyboard and monitor. Aziraphale was actually grateful for it; Crowley’s momentary distractedness gave him the time to recover from the sight of him dressed up so professionally. “I, er— yes. I need your help though.” Crowley turned to him suddenly, leaning in close and grinning like a shared secret. Big Name Feelings • 3. Speeding Up
i am so at peace. 5 hrs totally zenned out on these colours. i'm gonna see his face in my dreams 🥰

Good Omens S2 fic recs
Need something good to read?
Tumblr media
it's written all over by @et-in-arkadia, who never fails to grab me by the throat. Aziraphale comes back that very night and gives Crowley exactly what he wants...sort of. (E)
A Million Times by @chamyl. A breathless, tender reconciliation with excellent Muriel in. (E)
Not for All My Little Words by @mia-ugly and soft_october. For everyone who wants to see Aziraphale apologize. A lot. (E)
I'll Wait by @copperplatebeech. Could've chosen any of a dozen of Copper's sharp, shrewd pieces. Whether you like them funny, aching, hot, or tender, she's got your number -- often all at once. This one's (T)
A Bit of a Gray Area by @princip1914. Look, I for one was waiting for bad angry standing-up sex in a bathroom. The fact that it's one of my favorite authors providing it is the icing on my eccles cakes. (E)
(Do eccles cakes have icing? Is the E in eccles capitalized? I am not doing research for this Tumblr post.)
Five First Kisses And One [5+1 Things] by @werpiper. If you need to believe that there were many kisses before That One, this is a great story to enjoy, and if you need to believe they were banging through history, @werpiper is a great writer to get acquainted with. (E)
in the french fashion by @giddygeek. Were you wanting that 1941 "something I can do for you" hot, romantic, in-character, and intellectually intriguing? Step right up. (E)
the soft animal of your body by @focusfixated. A short but powerful take on the ox rib situation. (E)
An Invitation to Dance by @lavraiemonchichi. Another short take. What if the apology dance, but kinky? (E)
Covenant of Salt by @twwings. Make it long, make it deep, do it in the dark. Hard, complicated like fine wine. Yeah, that's the way I like it. Get acquainted with twings, she's dynamite in this or any other fandom (ask me about her MCU novel!).(E)
the two shepherds of uruk by @inkatesbush. WHAT a story, OMG. A slow burn in the context of the Tower of Babel. These two hardly know one another, but they'll learn, oh, they'll learn. Agile prose, storytelling like a blow to the solar plexus. (E)
White on White by @twilightcitysky. What could be a more appropriate erotic awakening for Aziraphale than a sad wank in Heaven? Well, I could tell you, but you'd have more fun if you read this story and its sequels. (E)
The Butterfly Effect by @plaidadder. A master storyteller at the top of their game, this Doctor Who crossover works even if you don't know Doctor Who and aren't excited about crossovers. Why? Because what could be more satisfying than putting Aziraphale and Crowley in a time loop until they work out their nonsense? I'll tell you what: humor, stunningly romantic prose, Revelations-inspired eldritch horrors, and happy endings for everyone. (T)
Have fun and don't forget to leave comments!

This portion ^ is not included in the fic version because fishey's fic is pre-Fall, but it was so cute that I made a revised pamphlet to post on my socials.
