It's been 5 years since I've done a major update to this recs page, but I'm finally starting to move bookmarked fic from AO3 to this recs site. Please note that because I have hundreds of fics to move, I'll be using the "share" function instead of coding, and I'm no longer committing to hiding warnings. Sorry about that, People-Like-Me-Who-Hate-Warnings. I'm also not committing to saying why I loved a story (because honestly, I've probably forgotten why by now), but if the story's on this page, I really like it!




GOOD OMENS

attheborder: it's a new craze (5541 words)
Chapters: 1/1

Summary:

Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.

But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

It had never been Aziraphale's intention to found a sort of secret society of angry angels. Certainly he'd never imagined he might run a halfway house on Earth for them.

Summary:

God should not have built them with such discrepancy, made them need for love, and long for wholeness, then left them to their own devices.



tickety-boo (aka, facelesshellion): wherever you are, i'll come to you (11375 words)

Summary:

“Are you alright? What’s all this about then?”


“Ah. Well. I might have slipped.”


“Slipped?”


“Took a bit of a tumble, I’m afraid,” Aziraphale said. “But, well. What’s done is done.”


“What’s done - ?”


“Now that I’m no longer beholden to a rather arbitrary moral code, I have to ask: Do you pay taxes? Actually, more importantly, do you think I can stop paying taxes now? That seems like a sufficiently demonic thing to do. Refusing to do my civic duty and whatnot. Quite devious, I’d argue.”


This was, in hindsight, not the most sensitive way of breaking the news.



WritingIsMyCoffee: Jesus was a Crossmaker - part 1 of a series (4809 words)
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens)
Characters: Crowley (Good Omens), Aziraphale (Good Omens)
Additional Tags: Just another confession fic, First Kiss, Based off the show bc I haven't read the book, but you better believe I'm going to bc holy crap I need more of these two, title from the Judy Sills song
Series: Part 1 of The Ineffable Future ft. An Ineffable Pair
Summary:

Humans. Their affections fester into madness and burn out like matches. Only those lucky enough to love someone that acts as their kerosene find it to be everlasting. Crowley may favor a fast-paced life, but humans are always in a dead-sprint to marry their soul-mate. Well, when one’s life expectancy is so short it does make a good deal of sense.

Crowley isn’t human, and he is blessed (no pun intended. Seriously, he’s a demon) to not have been created as one. The perks of immortality and corrupted divinity are far too enjoyable. But he must admit he’s grown soft. Soft for one peckish angel in particular, and to partake in more human traditions.

In which Crowley can't handle another 6000 years of pining and Aziraphale is very much himself.



GOOD OMENS / LUCIFER

SpinnerDolphin: A Devil Put Aside (for me) (23988 words)
Chapters: 6/6
Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Lucifer (TV), Murder Mysteries - Neil Gaiman
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley (Good Omens), Chloe Decker/Lucifer Morningstar
Characters: Aziraphale (Good Omens), Crowley (Good Omens), Chloe Decker, Ella Lopez, Dan Espinoza, Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV), Linda Martin (Lucifer TV), Raguel (Murder Mysteries)
Additional Tags: Canon-Typical Violence, POV Outsider, Crowley is so confused, Ancient History, The Fall - Freeform, Lucifer is Still Angry
Series: Part 1 of Angel Network
Summary:

Aziraphale liked to keep tabs on his celestial buddies, but he was all tied up doing—Crowley didn’t really even know, being a lazy arse probably—so Crowley had gone to LA to check on Raguel.


But instead of a messed up archangel, he finds BLOODY LUCIFER HIMSELF. Bright side--well, weird side--the boss has apparently fallen in love with a human? So that's... something.


[A demon's perspective on Deckerstar. Or, for Good Omens fans, Crowley is totally bewildered when he finds out his boss kind of likes Earth, too. Should read clearly if you only know Lucifer or GO. Murder Mysteries is treated like ancient history, and explained in the narrative.]

When Lucifer Morningstar is found half dead in the desert, Chloe Decker is determined to find out why. The problem is ... not even Lucifer knows the answer. As Chloe's world is flipped upside down by incontrovertible evidence of the divine, Lucifer grapples with feelings of violation and futility. God's meddling has started a chain reaction, but to what end? Deckerstar. Fits with canon through S2. [COMPLETE]

Summary:


post season 4


So she prays. Awkwardly, at first. Sending thoughts and whispers through the void with holy words that feel clunky in her mouth. But gradually it gets easier. Ella hesitantly offers some guidance, swiftly amending it to past tense. Regardless, Chloe appreciates the gesture.

She’s almost constantly thinking about him, talking to him. Dear Lucifer...




As I've noted before, I will never catch up with old stories. If you have a favorite story (your own or somebody else's) that you think I might have missed and it's in a fandom that I've recced before (see my main recs page, which includes links to all the individual major fandoms and a miscellaneous fandoms page), feel free to leave a link below. Most loved at the moment are stories from one of the following fandoms: Avengers, Due South, Hockey RPF (Sid/Geno), Lucifer, and Supernatural, but everything is welcome.

Special Note to Authors: If you're writing in a fandom set in the NYC area (Avengers, White Collar, etc), and you're looking for a beta for location-related issues in particular, feel free to email me at the gmail address on my profile page.
