Senku: Seriously though, do I even weigh anything to you?
Kohaku: No, it’s like holding a couple of grapes
Good Omens AU! XiChenggg and i forgot to post it here cos i forgot
So instead of Adam being the anti-christ, its Cherub!Lan JingyeET with unspeakable power to cause worldwide chaos I’m sorry it sucks but might as well practice some coloring. Done for dear sweet Skelate at twitter!!! Like good omens, its a super sweet slow burn across the dregs of history and I got waaay too invested with this AU goddammit skel- Anyways, meet LXC, a Cherubim (very different from the lovey-dovey Cherub keep in mind), who guards the Western Gate of Eden.
He’s one of the most promising angels of the Lord and is considered to be a jade among the cherubims. The whole business with “Adam and Eve chomping the forbidden fruit” incident happened all because LXC took a bathroom break and that was enough opportunity for WWX, the serpent of Eden to tempt the first humans.
Yada-yada, the humans were banished from Eden by God into the wild and there they met a dark demon wolf. Of course, that was JC, frothing darkness and electricity in all of his mutt glory. And LXC came back from the angel potty and he was like “WHAT THE FIDDLESTICKS-!!!” He then swooped with his four-winged jade heavenly glory to the rescue.
With his ice tipped and frostbitten sword, Shuoyue, he charged down JC. *cue dramatic battle action sequence between the forces of dark and light* He managed to slash JC in the chest hence the scar peeking from his shirt. The humans were able to escape and he gave them Shuoyue for protection.
Meanwhile, JC was doubling over in pain, there was a very bloody elongated hole on his chest GODDAMIT- The humans left and LXC had the choice to kill JC or maybe heal him. JC then formed back into his mortal form. He had black wings streaked with purple, a symbol of his lineage. JC was under the line of the houses Pride (Lucifer) and Wrath (Satan). He was a powerful demon, with hellish purple lightning from demon Wrath matriarch YZY. He was DYING DAMN IT. His father, JFM, the Pride demon patriarch was never proud of him, how ironic was that. He needed to prove himself that he could surpass his adopted brother, WWX, who successfully caused the first-ever sin of humans and here he was, choking on his own blood he failed to finish off the humans, and it was such a simple task! And he failed to that.
LXC, who was known for his pure and kind heart, decided to heal JC. “Please don’t make me regret this.” He said as he kneeled over the injured JC. He then was enveloped with heavenly light To JC, LXC was the most beautiful person right now and he thought ‘this is not a bad way to go’ He healed JC who was still writhing from the pain. Then thunder boomed and rain pelted from the distance. He immediately covered JC with his four wings, afraid that God has rained down holy water.
hen the rest is history hahaha. In modern times, LXC owns a quaint music shop and JC drives around a dark purple Harley Davidson (instead of Crowley’s beloved Bentley, bebop!) And instead of Aziraphale’s bowtie, LXC has obnoxious cloud printed socks. And instead of Crowley yelling at plants, JC yells at his reflection of 'how worthless he is’ (fvck you JFM)
JC has those three scars on his arm as a demonic inauguration. And LXC is “mad” cos LJY shouldn’t think that JC is cool and JC basking in the praise with his tsundereness.
Back on my Enchanted!Reddie au cause im sobbing listening to So Close from the movie again.
So in my au, Beverly was the one who was supposed to be Giselle but Prince Edward gets in time and fumbles the plan and falls down the enchanted wishing well himself as shown here:
Thus enchanted movie shenanigans ensue as down on his luck comedian Richie Tozier comes across a Disney Prince who is utterly confused and lost in New York and Richie is surprised he hasn't gotten hit by a car yet
Richie is currently in a relationship with Sandy who comes by to visit Stan and richies apartment and is annoyed to find this Disney Prince hovering over Richie.
Stan tries to help Richie figure out how to get this prince home to wherever he's from but he's got work so he needs to head off and promises to meet with the pair at lunch time:
Meanwhile, Beverly suits up to go save Eddie with the Queens previous advisor who is concerned about his friend and Beverlys chipmunk friend Bill (who was turned into a chipmunk for irritating the Queen too much) and while they're searching and after she tries to join Eddie's singing in the park only yo get wiped out by a bunch of people on bikes, she's helped up by Ben, who is super confused by this Disney Princess trying to sing to find someone and offers to help her find who she's looking for.
Mike has to keep up the pretense of helping the Queen cause she keeps checking in with him.
Reddie is happening, Benverly is happening, Stanpat was already happening, Hanbrough is begrudgingly happening cause their having chaos shenanigans
But soon Beverly and Eddie find each other and must follow their obligations and come back.
Stan decides to take Eddie and Ben to get ready for the ball they were all gonna attend and decides to ask of going back is what he really wants. Eddie says he has to, as the Prince and his mother must be going out of her mind and Stanley wonders outloud whether she may have had something to do with this whole mess and Eddie wants to believe his mother but now is beginning to doubt her now and he knows he wants to stay with Richie.
As well as this Richie, Bev and Patty go together and Beverly begins to wonder whether she's really happy to leave Ben behind in this world to go back because of how much she already cares about him.
Mike and Bill got seperated and when the Queen finds out about the two reuniting she tells them she's coming there to sort this herself now
Her plan is get Eddie to eat the apple herself, cause to her is better if he's at home in eternal sleep and close the portal and leave Beverly trapped here.
Eddie and Beverly take on the dragon together, reddie true loves kiss wakes Eddie in the end, and Eddie gives Ben and Beverly his blessing to take over the kingdom together and keep the portal open in order to visit. Also with the Queen gone, Bill's curse is reversed and he's changed back into a human and Mike and him head back with Benverly and visit along with them.
I'm aware this is rushed idk if anyone would be interested in a written version of this but I was defo gonna maybe do more of this at some point
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SENKU-CHAN🎉🎉

And that, kids, is the story of how the twin heroes of yunmeng met the twin jades of lan.

Pictured above: JC and WWX arriving at Gusu Skating Complex to participate in the annual Gusu Training Camp for the first time.
So a short note about Gusu Skating Complex - it is a full complex, equipped with facilities such as a running track, a gym, a pool, physiotherapy rooms, dance studios, etc. So the rule is that you should not be running in the Cloud Recesses Skating Hall, bc that area is for skating! if you need to do off-ice warmups, you can head down to the running track, or use one of the warm-up rooms next door. It is Gusu after all, everything has its place.
More figure skating AU here: (x)
