The first thousand or so words of a fic im currently writing. Hopefully I finish it but if not then here it is

Good omens, human AU set in the 90s where Aziraphale and Crowley moved together from England to be professors at McGill University in Montreal. Crowley specializes in Astrophysics and Aziraphale specializes in Queer and Feminist studies.

One shot, that will potentially be part of a series that follows their lives

(This is not proof read or beta'd so you've been warned and its not complete)

Aziraphale checked his watch for the third time in as many minutes. It read 5:47. Shit. He’s gonna be late. He was supposed to leave early to take into account the time he would need to get changed for his dinner with Crowley, but then he got wrapped up in his readings for one of his current projects and the stupid fucking bus was just taking its sweet old time to get to his stop and pick him up and he didn’t have any coins to use the payphone.

Dear lord, hopefully Crowley won’t mind too much. He paced around the sign indicating where the bus stop is while fidgeting with his zipper from his jacket, waiting for the bus. He took a deep breath to calm himself, taking in the smell that was uniquely found in the fall, as Canadians would say. It was that short time of the year where the colours from the leaves were stunning shades of reds, yellows, and oranges where the sun was still warm, but the wind had a bite that wasn’t there weeks before. In other words, it was hot enough for him not to need to zip up but it was still too cold for him to forgo it completely. While there were things he missed from home, a good cup of tea for example, the seasons were something that was so vividly felt here. And the wildlife, he still felt a thrill of excitement every time he saw a raccoon. Despite what his many students have told him. They can slander their reputation by saying they have an unfriendly disposition, but he simply loved them. Their little hands, their mischievous shuffling and their mask patterned fur around their eyes were simply too cute to ignore.

When he finished his most recent lap, he looked down the street, and thank the heavens, the godforsaken bus was finally pulling up. He pulled his bus pass out from his jacket pocket and walked up to the end of the sidewalk.

After getting his pass hole punched, he found an empty seat at the bus, and, looked at his watch once again. A few minutes before six, should traffic not be too bad he shouldn’t be too too late. With that done, he looked out, admiring the various buildings flash through the window making the sunlight from the setting sun flash against his face.

Thankfully, the bus ride went by with no incidents and the university campus was close enough to the stop that he was able to run up to Crowley’s office with little problem. After climbing four flights of stairs and walking down a seemingly never-ending hallway, he found himself in front of a door with a sign indicating that it was Dr. Crowley’s office. Though the sounds were muffled he could easily recognize Crowley’s slightly raspy voice, with an accent so similar to his own (which in this part of the world was quite a rarity) talking to, presumably, a student. It would seem his worry about being late had been unfounded after all.

He gave a little wave through the small window next to the door to let Crowley know he was there and was given a subtle head nod as acknowledgement before sitting down on an old couch near the door. It was dreadfully comfortable and was his go-to for whenever he was waiting for his partner to finish up last-minute work.

He let himself properly sink into the cushions and let his mind wander off. He had some corrections that he wanted to finish before the end of the week as well as his class for the next morning, he was introducing Gender Trouble for the first time, and he was slightly nervous. He tried not to be. He did not want to be. He is a gay man who is in and has been in a long-term relationship with another man for almost a decade. He is out and he is proud of it. Despite that, he knows how surprised some of his students would be to see their normally fuzzy-sweater clad professor in tight jeans and a crop top dancing at pride and he still felt worried at times. Just a few years prior, a gay man had been fired from his job at a college in Alberta and while the university is okay with him publishing and talking about these works in academic settings, he simply doesn’t know how they’d react if someone complained to the faculty, if someone felt particularly vindictive. It wouldn’t be the first time he would have been let go because someone complained…

Fortunately, his wallowing was cut off by the click of a door opening. Crowley’s voice echoed slightly in the mostly empty hallway “If you have any more questions let me know. I’ll be maintaining my normal office hours but if you need more additional time, I’m usually in my office from 10 to 7 if I’m not teaching a class.”

The light in the office closed and a student who is probably in his early twenties walked out followed by Crowley. The student nodded thoughtfully, his headful of hair shaking from the movement, as he stuffed various papers and pens into his shoulder bag.

“Thanks for the additional help, Sir, for the life of me I couldn’t figure out how to make the equation work.” The student had moved out of the way to leave space for Crowley to walk out.

“Well, then, I hope you have a good rest of your evening. I have to head off now, but I will see you on Wednesday.” Crowley was turned towards the door and was using his key to lock the door. As if on cue, Aziraphale stood up, his waiting is over.

His student nodded before he realized that Crowley couldn’t see him. “Okay then. See you then. Have a good evening Dr.” Crowley simply grumbled in response as his student walked away.

Crowley quickly put his key into his jacket’s inner pocket before bending down to pick up his work bag. The small bag looked to be two seconds from exploding with how full it was of the various things Crowley carried with him on his day to day. Aziraphale found him gorgeous. His red hair slightly messy from a long day where he likely had run his hand through it multiple times, his worn (though well-loved and well cared for) leather jacket fit on his shoulders just so that made him burn with the desire to hold him close. He was wearing his glasses which framed his high cheekbones and his nose. Almost ten years later, older, more world weary and tired, and yet every time he saw Crowley, Aziraphale finds himself falling in love all over again.

“Hey Angel, ready to head out?” Crowley’s voice was low, barely loud enough for Aziraphale to hear him as he walked up to Aziraphale and bumped his shoulder against his. He felt the familiar flutter in his chest once again at the pet name.

“Of course. I’ve been barely able to wait. The anticipation has been killing me.” Aziraphale gave a little smile.

“Hmm… couldn’t have been that bad. I only asked you about this this morning.”

“Yes, but this morning was so long ago. Besides, since the trimester has started, we’ve both been so busy that I feel like we haven’t had the chance to properly see you in weeks.”

Crowley gave him a soft look, making him melt like butter. “Regardless, I was thinking of trying out Le Luxe. It’s open 24 hours and apparently has some pretty good food. Then we can go walk around town before it gets too dark.”

Interesting things of note

The case about the gay man from Alberta being let go from his job at a college is a real case and is one of the big cases that went up to the Supreme Court of Canada. It is what lead to protections against discrimination for sexual orientation to be protected. The case is called Vriend vs. Alberta and it took until 1998 for it to be completed despite the fact that he was fired in the late 1980s.

Judith Butler is one of the first queer theorists and she was the one who introduced the theory that gender is a performance. The book referenced (Gender Trouble) was the work where she introduced it and it was published in 1990.

Also, I wrote this thinking this could be a cute one shot with around 1000 words. Over a thousand words in where the couple of the hour haven’t even exchanged a sentence yet clearly shows how that plan ended up panning out exactly as expected /s

𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐃 𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍 — 01

𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 nepotism baby, Kaela Crowley, daughter of British phenomenon, tennis player, Bailey Crowley also well known as 'The Queen' After her mother partook in a now world renown tennis scandal which ended up with a broken career and a 5 year prison sentence. Kaela is sent to live with her mother's not-so-close best friend, Lorelai Gilmore.

Notes: I literally hate this chapter smm, its boring and short and blahhhh but I've been prostrating with it for too long now and I've found no other way to avoid it so here, a hot pile of shit just for you <3

𝘐𝘚 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘚 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘌𝘕𝘋 𝘖𝘍 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘘𝘜𝘌𝘌𝘕'𝘚 𝘙𝘌𝘐𝘕 ?

The bold letters were printed onto newspapers everywhere. Kaela literally couldn't avoid it. All the slanderous words spread around London like a wildfire. It would be shouted through out the streets

'Bailey Crowley ; The world's biggest tennis scandal yet.'

'Queen Crowley throws away her crown after Lombardi's retirement.'

And things got ten times worse when Alyssa Lombardi pressed charges for aggravated assault, resulting in her mother's 5 year prison sentence and retirement to her own tennis career.

"You heard it here first folks, Queen of the court, Bailey Crowley sentenced to 5 years in prison, not so mighty anymore is she? And next with Davi-"

Kaela ripped her headphones out of her ears. Scrunching up the white wires and shoving them deep into her brown fur lined coat, a scowl on her face as another breeze of autumn wind hit her, sending a gush of wind and a mix of burnt orange and copper coloured leaves her way, she let out a small shriek wafting away the leaves from her clothes, the pale yellow suitcase trailing behind her on the bumpy pavement.

Her blue eyes read the words on the letter over and over again, from the 'To my dearest, Lorelei.' to the kiss mark in the bottom right corner in pink lipstick.

She couldn't help but feel pissed, she had built a reputation for herself! She was the Kaela Crowley for the love of God! And now her mother practically trampled all over her or smacked a racket across the court so hard it retore Lombardi's ACL which caused a permanent impairment, all over her reputation...

Either way, she was now lost in the middle of a small town in Connecticut with nothing but her suitcase, white Mary jane's and frilly socks, as the breeze blew her hair she stood still once again re-reading the letter she found herself outside a diner, Luke's Diner.

The warmth hit hit as her heels hit the oak floor, it was abit.. too cozy for her liking, coffee mugs littered the walls in their blue shelfs, with stupid signs on the backdrop, she felt out of place.

Silence through out the diner.

"Uh.." Kaela begun moving closer to the counter, she pressed herself against the empty stool her hands going to the counter to support herself as a man put down the mug he was drying off.

"Hi!" Kaela smiled, letting go of her yellow suitcase, he didn't respond. just looked at her, bug-eyed.. "Um... I'm looking for.." Kaela felt her nerves sneaking on her her eyes going down to the note in her left hand to which her mother addressed it to 'Lorelei Gilmore.' "I'm looking for Lorelei Gilmore, I was told she might be.. here?" Kaela looked around and back at the man.

He took in a deep breath before speaking. "over there." nodding over to a women sat at a table, mug in hand. Kaela took in a deep breath before smiling and walking away from the counter.

"Lorelei?" Kaela took another step. Dragging her suitcase along with her as she stepped closer once more.

The women turned around, her eyes grew with shock when she realised who it was but she didn't say anything, Kaela took it into her own to take the seat opposite of her.

"Hi.." Kaela smoothed her white blouse under her yellow jumper. no response. "Im Kaela Crowley, you knew my mother-" Kaela begun when Lorelei made no effort to speak.

"I know who you are Kaela." Lorelei sipped her coffee, Kaela bit her lip with embarrassment.

"Oh." Kaela looked at the letter she was absently massaging between her pink nails before placing it on the table. "My mother told me to give you this."

Lorelei picked up the letter, she let out small scoffs and groans of annoyance as she read the words on the page, rolling her eyes as her eyes went to the pink kiss mark in the corner.

"Kaela-" Lorelei begun.

"I have no where else to go!" Kaela's brows were furrowed, it was no surprise she was desperate. "My mum is going to prison, my father is too busy working, she said your my only chance-"

"Kaela." Lorelei put and end to her word soup. "I already have my daughter.. you wouldn't have a place to sleep."

Kaela frowned.

"What about your school, we cant enroll you into star hallows high school half way through the term." Kaela was stumped. She leaned back into her chair, biting her lip so hard she could almost draw blood.

"Hey, It's freezing?" A younger her stopped in her footsteps when she saw Kaela, she waved.

"Oh my god! Your Kaela Crowley!" The girl moved closer as Kaela let out a small chuckle.

Before Kaela could say anything Lorelei started talking.

"Sweetie, we were just talking about Kaela staying with us-" The girl screamed.

"No way-- mom!" She yelped looking between the two of them.

"Rory! I don't think she can stay with us--"

Kaela looked around Rory's room, the yellow suitcase was sprawled out on her bed, it was...new, but exciting.

"Oh and the grumpy dude, in the coffee shop's called Luke, you'll get used to him." Lorelai waved her goodbye as she rushed off to work, the door slammed shut, Kaela threw herself onto the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

There was no way she could get used to this... right?

Sah dudes

I felt things today and I didn’t like them so once again I bestow upon you my dumbass opinions about fictional men. On todays menu we have once again twisted wonderland.

I feel a kind of affection towards this fandom so I can't say many negative things but if Im bitter anytime soon the slander will come.

These are my a/b/o headcanons for the characters. Enjoy!

I see Riddle as an alpha. I just think his personality fits the dynamic. Although he still has to unlearn some toxic shit about the dynamics. He's just misguided but would make a great alpha.

Trey is a beta no arguments. Just look at him. If that man doesn't scream beta to you I don't know what you're smoking.

Cater is an omega. I can see him as a beta too tho. But he's closer to an omega to me. He just has this vibe of a mischevious omega. Idk.

Ace is an omega I don't know what to tell you. He's one of them bratty ones that go soft during their heats. This might just be the sub!ace agenda talking but I just want to bully him. Imagine him talking shit and getting his ass handed to him by someone stronger. Im sorry I just want him on his knees.

Deuce is a very kind and nice alpha. He does his best to care for the other dynamics. His attempts are not always succsesful and may come off as patronizing but he means well.

Leona is an omega. Lol imagine the strong and independant lion a sweet little omega. With his attitude everyone keeps saying that he couldn’t find a mate but he doesn't care. (good for him. Stay single king). Plus the inferiority complex. It just goes with his character shtick.

Ruggie is a beta. I just can't see him as anything else. Like I mentioned in my other post I don't think much about him.

Jack is an alpha through and through. He tries so hard to pretend that he doesn't care but at the same time he's protecting everyone he considers his pack. Goodest boy.

Azul is a beta. Some may see him as an alpha but he has that beta vibe. I mean he has his whole serious competent buisiness man thing going on and the beta dynamic seems to fit him the best.

Both of the leech brothers are alphas. No argument there. Jade is just better at self control than floyd.

Kalim is a sunshiny omega. He just radiates that energy ya know. He's a little naive so some might try to take advantage but he has jamil to save him.

Jamil is a beta. He could be an alpha but his whole 'servant' thing just fits a beta better imo. He absolutely helps kalim through his heats not in that way ya nasties.

Vil is a beta. I think it helps with his whole 'cold beauty' thing. The neutrality of betas if know what I mean. I don't see him as anything else. Plus this is inferiority complex pt. 2. Cause neige(? That how you spell it) is an adorable little omega who everyone loves while vil is ureachable and unaffected.

Rook I think could be all. He has mixed vibes. I don't see a set dinamic for him.

Epel is a tiny alpha but an aplha nonetheless. You could make him an omega to add to the whole 'wanting to be manly' but being an alpha with a small build could also add to his goal of getting stronger and being a 'true alpha'.

Idia is either a beta or an omega. Beta more likely tho. He just looks like it too me. Plus his whole personality doesn't really fit the other two.

Ortho is a robot so none for him. Could have been a alpha in life tho.

Sebek is a very loud alpha. He was thaught to respect all dynamics so none of that bullshit here (still sees humans as weak tho). Uses his alpha status to try and reign other students in. He fails. And gets bonked on the head for trying to force his way. He's still young and learning.

Silver is a beta. Like look at that man. Sleepyheadass has no time for heats or ruts.

Lilia is a very old omega who's seen some shit and is done with alphas bullshit. Like say shit about omegas bein weak and he will beat you to death. Thaught all his kids to respec everyone regardless of dynamic. Good dad 10/10.

Malleus is a beta. I know some of y'all might say smth like 'he' s obviously an alpha just look at him' hahahahahahah no. I have a feeling that he'd get the alpha label purely because he's a dragon, a prince and a powerful wizard. But he resembles a beta the most to me. His whole demeanor just doesn't point to him being an alpha. I might be misunderstanding his character tho.

I'll include the staff this time.

Crowley seems like a very obnoxious alpha or a very stupid and irresponsible omega. Take your pick cause I don't like this man

Crewel I think is an omega. It just fits him imo. Plus he has all these chemicals to hide his scent and help with heats. He could be the schools dad/nurse for the omega students. His personality doesn't really fit an omega but imagining him as anything else makes me feel icky so I'll leave it at that.

Trein is eithe a beta or an alpha. He's so calm he could be a beta but he's also old which could mean thay he's just an alpha that's mellowed out over the years.

Ashton is as alpha as an alpha can get. If you google alpha you'll see this mans photo. He doesn't discriminate tho. Everyone can be strong if they put enough work into it.

Sam is a beta. He just seems like it idk. I don't know much about him sooo...

I think that mc/yuu would start out whithout a dynamic sine they're not from this world so 8n the meantime they'd get to be a beta. But later they would develop a dynamic to better fir their world (or stay as they are this depends onhow you would like the story to go).

Now this goes a little into the spicy side of things buut. In my uuhhh little daydreams that spawned this post yuu would develop into an alpha so they could have some upper ground. But that's jaust cause im always on that dom!mc/reader agenda.

But the possibility of them staying without dynamic is also interesting because they ARE a 'beta' but they don't sexactly act like one.

I'll go back to my daydreams now.

There’s probably a bunch of spelling mistakes in here so let's just ignore that.
