Good Omens | 1.01 In The Beginning
~ sometime during S3, when they finally let themselves be angry at each other about being rejected ~
If you'd asked either of them what had happened, you'd get something along the lines of "a great battle between enemies in which neither could best the other."
And indeed a few, half hearted punches and insults had been thrown, a bit of scuffling that landed some books and feathers scattered. But before long, far less than they'd have you believe, they ended up like this. Every so often one of them might spit a venomless jab or thump their first down lightly.
They didn't move for awhile.
The sheer amount of guilt Aziraphale experiences is utterly tragic. But what's interesting is he rarely feels guilt for the things humans usually feel guilt for - indulging in food, wine, books, comfort (which is marvelously subversive because it shows none of these things are actually worthy of guilt but, in fact, what make existence worthwhile).
No, he only truly feels guilt when he does the Right Thing.
Or when he realizes too late what the Right Thing is.
All of his guilt is attached to things that are, in fact, Good and Right, but in opposition to the black-and-white doctrine of Heaven.
Which makes the guilt he is so clearly experiencing here:
hit like a goddamn freight train.
Because loving Crowley is Good and Right.
You'd really like to know what on earth one has to say to get the Serpent of Eden to laugh like that, huh? His husband and Angelic Guardian certainly isn't about to spill the secret!

Finished my Good Omens Halloween animation thingy! In time! I’ve never done anything as complex as this before and it probably has waaaayyy too many things going on in the background, but it was just so much fun to draw and animate all of this. Hope you like it. Happy spooky season, everyone!
Lost Hat (A short comic)
This was the scene that inspired me to draw the comic. The idea has been in my head since June, after the release of the Good Omens episodes. It went lying in my folders for a while, but I’m glad to finally have it finished! Thank you for reading :)
My first pen drawing! Mr. Anthony J. Crowley in shades of dark grey 🩶😎
This Christmas, the only thing keeping Crowley going is the release of his favourite romance author’s latest novel, scheduled to launch on Christmas Eve. Yet his already sour mood takes another turn for the worse when he’s forced to conduct a last-minute job interview just before the holidays. Enter Aziraphale: the applicant who is utterly unqualified for the marketing role at the publishing house. Somehow, however, he manages to break through Crowley's carefully maintained indifference—if only for the duration of their meeting. After all, they're bound to part ways after the interview, never to cross paths again. But amid missed opportunities and holiday chaos, Crowley is about to discover that this Christmas still has a few surprises left in store for him.
