Do you also experience this soft and safe darkness of the night sometimes, especially with someone you love nearby? Crowley hangs the stars for Aziraphale in the theatre and they share a first kiss. The perfect start for the weekend. Short fic (~1100words). By @sapphosewrites
And within this fic a reference to a lovely poem. Aziraphale is quoting from Starlight by Harold Lewis Cook:
Starlight through the curve of space
Falls an age and does not tire;
Falls and knows not where it falls,
A curve of undiminished fire.
when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.
If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I'll delete it. Do it again and I'll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing -- I don't want to read it, legally I can't read it, no I won't make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it's crossing a line.
Had to look up how tall that was in my metric system but yeah. For non US/UK people 5'8 is almost 173cm.
Klein is fijn, ik wil niet groter worden (=small is fun, I don't want to grow taller) was my favourite childhood song. And a good motto to live happily by.
Neil my dude, after showing my mother season one of Good Omens and my dad seeing a bit of it I mentioned you also wrote Coraline and either my mom or dad (don't remember which one said it) said you must have been a weird kid.
Could you please confirm or deny whether or not you were a Weird Kid™?
I was a weird kid.
WE ARE HIRING
Are you flexible, sneaky and persistent? We are expanding because of resounding success of THE summer. Our team is looking for another sun stealer. Either morning or evening shift. You will be working together with our dynamic team in an agile environment stealing sun time.
Secondary benefits: extensive health plan (vitamin D), extra holiday days in winter, big bonus if you obtain more sun without the southern hemisphere noticing…
sunsets after 7pm now !!!!!!!!!!! we made it guys !!!!!!!!!!!!
Too hard to pick a favourite. I dive into his books when I want to visit my friends there depending on my mood.
I savour every reread. There is always a layer more to discover. More kindness and understanding wrapped in wonderfully weird fantasy stories. Another joke to chortle at.

Er… books plural. Comfy fantasy reread + life shattering dark prose + gentle poetry + graphic novels.
I’m bored and nosy. Please reblog this with the book you’re currently reading.
some of my favorite replies to this tweet. happy lesbian visibility week!
“You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”

Demon and angel professors. One of my favourite ficlet series to reread.
Dr Fell’s students looked up as someone entered, hoping to spot the elusive Dear Anthony, but it was only Dr Crowley, after all.
Revolution by tea. Or one hot chocolate at a time.
Aziraphale was such a little bastard (/affectionate) for giving Jim hot cocoa to drink when he knew his old boss's opinion on sullying the temple of his body with "gross matter."
He did the same thing with Muriel, offered them tea knowing what they probably thought of it and then amiably watched them to see what they would do with it.
He's gone rogue, people. He's corrupting Heaven one politely offered hot beverage at a time.
Reblog if you're wearing a unicorn onesie, have owned a unicorn onesie, really want to wear a unicorn onesie, dreamt about wearing a unicorn onesie, or wrote a story about a unicorn onesie.
(Does that cover pretty much everyone on tumblr then?)
For the people wanting to play (god).
Note that this map does not take coastal defenses into account. This is what would happen if sea level rose and there was nothing in the way.
Netherlands if sea level were 1 meter higher.
Good haul. I assume that Deth (?) is reaching to catch Morgon when he inevitably falls of the stairs because of those ridiculously unpractical frilly boots. And omg is he wearing a fanny pack?
big fan of: used bookstores, and 80s fantasy covers
Werehistorical fiction. Crime help. Thrillerotic.
My latest @guardian books cartoon.
I've seen a lot of fics disappear from my bookmarks, some 10+ years old, because they were added to an unrevealed collection. It makes me wonder if people realize what your fic being added to a collection actually means and if the authors approved it automatically without realizing what would happen.
If someone adds your fic to their collection, they can hide it! They can mark the collection as unrevealed and your fic will be unreadable to anyone other than them! If you're writing works for a surprise event, like a Secret Santa, this is really nice.
But if you're just writing and someone adds your fic to a collection for their own personal use and marks it as unrevealed, that. . . really sucks.
I bookmarked this fic in 2017, almost 5 years ago. Knowing me, the fic itself was probably at least a couple years old at the time I bookmarked it.
This is a 5+ year old fic that is completely inaccessible now because it was added to a collection that, as far as I can tell, is literally just for the collection owner's own reference. There's almost 30 fics in the collection, all of them unrevealed.
Please don't blindly accept collection requests and if your works ARE in a collection, make sure that they aren't being hidden without your knowledge or consent.
Browsing books in libraries has been the direct cause for me of discovering new authors, new genres, and just basking in a deep sense of content to be (in the restful company of so many books and book lovers).
Let’s boop a nightingale
We’ve booped each other a long time. We’ve been on this site for a long time. I mean, you and me. I could always boop on you. You could always boop on me. We’re a team, a group. Boop of the two of us. And we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t booping. I mean, the last few years, not really. And I would like to boop… I mean if Gabriel and Beelzebub can do it, boop off together, then we can. Just the two of us. We don’t need Heaven, we don’t need Hell, they’re toxic. We need to boop away from them, just boop us. You and me, what do you say?
There she goes is simultaneously heartbreaking and fluffy sweet and uplifting. I cried several times. Stellar performances.
(part one)
I'd rather go on an adventure with an autonomous bike than an autonomous car. Wonder where they would take me. The bicycle underworld?
Bicycle Disruption. (a cartoon for New Scientist from a while back)
Beautiful. Voluntarily keeping the heartache going. (Surely there is a term for that…) Glad I am doing it with all you great weird people together.
The Disappearing Act. support me with tips, kofi, commissions
I'm trying to prove something.
One of my favourite GO fic series. A demon and angel professor AU. Full of mischief. And full of heart. Most fics can be read alone and there are little story arcs with recurring characters. Nuanced and varied representation within the series.
Later, at home, they laugh openly about it, and lay bets on how long it will be before this year’s undergraduates catch on that they are married.
“Your turn to drop a clue next, angel,” Crowley drawls from where he sprawls with his feet on Aziraphale’s lap.
Two grown men falling in friendship takes the internet by surprise and trends the hell out of it. More appreciation -please - for the warmth, the comfort, the support, the joy and the happiness that friendship can give. Celebrate your friends!
