Reblogging Some Of My Older Rec Lists For Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day (I Didn't Have Time To Make

Reblogging some of my older rec lists for Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day (I didn't have time to make a new list for the occasion, but hopefully some day)

Aziraphale/Crowley Fic Recs

Here is a collection of Aziraphale/Crowley fics that I have enjoyed. I have tried to pick fics that are not included on every rec list, there are so many great fic writers in this fandom that deserve attention. I have split the list into two main categories, stories where they are an angel and a demon, and stories where they are human, and added the sub-categories of Smut, Angst and Fluff.

Still an Angel and a Demon Then? (Canon Adjacent/Divergent) Thank You for my Pornography (Smut) Title: I Want To See You (In the Dark) Authors: ineffablebadger and QuestionableGeek Word Count: 6050 words Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: When it came down to it, Aziraphale had always loved Crowley. He had taken comfort in the fact that he is an angel and is supposed to love all of Her creations. The thought that he could love Crowley in a more specific way was something he had considered before but had kept in the far reaches of his mind like a shameful secret. As the thought began to break free, the feeling of love overwhelmed him in a not dissimilar way to the flames overwhelming the church. He tried not to consider the meaning of a church of the Lord burning to ash before his eyes as he realised that he is in love with a demon . Aziraphale and Crowley steal a night in the darkness hoping that they will remain unseen together in the blackout. Reccer's Note: This fic ponders what if Aziraphale and Crowley had gotten together after the 1941 bombing? The authors call this porn with feelings, the sex is very well written, and the authors do an amazing job of conveying what it is like for these characters to be sharing these intimate moments in almost complete darkness. However, what really sells this fic is the feelings! There is self doubt, and hesitation, and the two of them are so tender and caring with each other, and I loved the ending! Title: Hellish Love, Heavenly Lust Author: TheLinThing Word Count: 1278 words Rating: E Summary: A bedroom wrapped in twilight, and getting slowly and lovingly fucked from behind by a genuine demon from hell. Reccer's Note: This is the most evocative, beautifully written smut. Title: your lips, my lips (apocalypse) Author: MovesLikeBucky Word Count: 2518 Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: “I want you, Crowley.” His voice is but a breath against Crowley’s ear, a soft wind carrying a warmth on it like Crowley has never known. “I’ve wanted you for so long. I want to give you anything you’ve ever wanted; I want everything that you are and everything that you could be, because, my darling, if we can’t figure this out… if we can’t stop it…” Crowley turns and captures Aziraphale’s lips with his own, not wanting to hear how he knows that sentence ends. OR What if Mary didn't show up quite so fast? Reccer's Note: I kind of love what if scenarios, this fic asks what if Sister Mary hadn't interrupted them when Crowley had Aziraphale pushed up against a wall, and things had progressed. Basically, this is just some delicious smut, with feelings thrown in, and a little bit of a bittersweet ending. Title: Appetite Author: spunknbite Word Count: 6011 Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Aziraphale glances down at the macaron in Crowley’s hand - two blush pink biscuits sandwich a layer of swirled white buttercream containing red-pink specks that Aziraphale takes to be pomegranate arils. Crowley places the macaron against Aziraphale’s lips with more reverence than the angel had thought him capable. “It’s alright, angel. Just take a bite.” “Is that what you told Eve?” “Something like it. It worked, didn’t it?” Reccer's Note: Crowley seduces Aziraphale with macarons, quite literally. Crying Alone in a Pub (Angst) Title: Against the Bitter Cold Author: EdosianOrchids901 Word Count: 1318 Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: A pointless temptation assignment leaves Crowley stranded in the middle of a snowstorm. By the time he stumbles back to the inn, he’s so cold and disoriented that he can’t even remember why he was outside. Aziraphale is ready to lend a helping hand. Reccer's Note: Crowley gets hypothermia and Aziraphale has to try warm up a very disorientated Crowley. I loved blessedly confused Crowley is in this fic, his thought process is so jumbled, but he still worries about Aziraphale being too kind to him and drawing too much attention. Azirphale is so sweet

here. Plus, I'm a sucker for Crowley being comforted. Title: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark Author: EdosianOrchids901 Word Count: 2770 words Fandom: Good Omens Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Aziraphale/Crowley Summary: Aziraphale is attacked by a group of humans who want to control his powers. He’s incapacitated by magic and unable to defend himself, totally helpless. But something dark and powerful bursts out of the shadows to rescue him. Reccer's Note: This is some good hurt/comfort, Aziraphale is very badly hurt by some nasty humans, and Crowley comes to his rescue. Also, generally speaking, EdosianOrchids901 writes great hurt/comfort fics and fun, fluffy oneshots, and the amount of GO stories they write will keep you reading for a long time. Title: Remembrance Author: CinnabarMint Word Count: 2926 words Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: The drops of whiskey fell like golden pearls onto the precious carpet in the sitting room of a cottage in the South Downs. Crowley wasn’t very sure exactly what time it was, he only knew he started drinking right after having lunch with Aziraphale. Or right after they had tried to have lunch, anyway. Reccer's Note: Aziraphale has amnesia and Crowley has been looking after him for years. I'm not going to lie, this one had me crying at a few points. Crowley is so tender and caring with Aziraphale, but you can tell how lonely he is and how he misses who Aziraphale used to be. This fic is actually the sequel to another fic, but I read on it's own and I was fine, because they explain early in the fic how Aziraphale ended up in his condition. Title: the dancers may disappear Author: doorwaytoparadise Word Count: 3536 words Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Crowley is visiting the earth, trying to get a breather from Heaven, when he meets a demon both unfamiliar and familiar in a park in London. (or: sometime after the Notmageddon, some Things Happened) Reccer's Note: This fic plays with the concept of what if Crowley rose and Aziraphale fell. Crowley's now an angel, but he doesn't remember Aziraphale. This one made tear up a little. Champagne at the Ritz (Fluff) Title: The Perfect Kiss Author: misbegotten Word Count: 561 Rating: G Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Crowley has waited a long time for this kiss. It better be worth it. Reccer's Notes: This is so cute! I love the fact that Aziraphale is rather oblivious to Crowley's attempts at seduction. Title: hand in unlovable hand Author: gazing Word Count: 3115 Rating: G Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: As a rule, they don’t touch Reccer's Note: A wonderful emphasis on the power of touch, and how lovely it is to hold someone's hand Title: Etiquette Author: PinkPenguinParade Word Count: 1252 Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: “You want… what?” Aziraphale said after a moment, more kindly than Crowley possibly deserved for having interrupted a perfectly good snog. “I want to do this right.” “Was I ...not doing it right? I grant you, I'm a bit out of practice, but I shouldn’t think things have changed that much.” Crowley, for once, is looking at convention. Aziraphale isn't having it. Reccer's Note: I kind of love the role reversal on this one, Crowley wants to slow down and do things properly, and Aziraphale is just like "dear, we've already been dating for 6000 years!" (paraphrasing). Title: A Good Old-Fashioned Cock Up Author: Atalan Word Count: 1188 words Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Crowley's habit of subjecting Aziraphale to bad movie nights backfires spectacularly. Reccer's Note: Hilarious little fic where Crowley accidentally brings the wrong type of film to movie night, and Aziraphale figures it out way before Crowley does. Title: First Date Author: silverwren Word Count: 715 Rating: G Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Crowley asks Aziraphale on a date Reccer's Note: Adorable little fic, where Aziraphale is under a mistaken

assumption about their relationship, and Crowley's response is like “you could have told me!” Humans are so Inventive Sometimes (Human AUs) Title: Echo Author: snae_b Word Count: 51,851 words Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: This isn’t your average coffee shop AU. Reccer's Note: I don't want to give too much away, but this fic starts with the Groundhog Day trope and expands in unexpected ways from there. It is a lovely sci-fi love story, that will have you rooting for Azirpahle and Crowley to be together. It also tackles some science fiction related ethical issues, and features several of your favourite Good Omens secondary characters. Title: Villainous Author: IneffablePenguin Word Count: 216,543 words Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Once Upon A Time… There was a red-haired sorcerer who lived alone in a high tower. And a blond prince who lived in a palace full of people. And they were both of them desperately lonely. The Kingdoms of Empyrion and the Sorcerers of Apollyon have hated each other for hundreds of years, ever since the Great War. They do not interact, other than to occasionally try to kill one another. And they certainly do not make friends. Crow is an exhausted sorcerer who just wants everyone to leave him the hell alone: for the Sorcerer’s Council to stop harassing him to live up to his potential, and for wannabe Empyrion Heroes to stop attacking his tower to try and kill him. Until one day when he meets Prince Azra of the High Fells, who doesn’t behave anything like he’s supposed to… Part fairy tale, part fantasy, all love story. There’s magic, and grand romantic gestures, and Heroes and a handsome Prince, and a Villain. There are even some wild heroics, though not necessarily from who you would expect. At its core it’s simply about two (relatively) sane people living in a mad world who find each other. Reccer's Note: When this fic was posting I was obsessed with it, and followed it updates religiously (ha!). It's slow burn, pining, and kind of enemies to lovers, but not really, because even though Crowley and Aziraphale are supposed to be on opposite sides they become fast friends. It starts out small with the two of them meeting regularly in the forest, and slowly expands from there. I know the word count is intimidating, but IneffablePenguin is a good writer and adds a lot of fun fantasy elements. If you like pining or slow burn at all this might be for you, because it takes them about half the story before they are willing to admit they have feelings for each other. Title: Between Sand and Stars Author: Dashicra1 Word Count: 12,720 words Rating: M Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Aziraphale has been wounded while defending innocent civilians and summarily sentenced to death via wandering in the desert for his actions, but when he stumbles upon Crowley’s house by chance, his luck changes rapidly. Crowley is a strange and skittish man who lives alone, tucked in amongst a collection of medicinal herbs, broken pottery, and torn blankets. When the reason for Crowley’s caution and odd behaviour is revealed, Aziraphale can think of nothing he’d rather do than try to help him free himself from his tragedy, and the two embark upon a tender romance which will change both of their lives for the better. Reccer's Note: This is such a tender fic. It is a fantasy/fairy tale AU, about poor touch starved Crowley who lives alone in the desert, and Aziraphale who accidentally finds his hut. I don't want to give away the twist, I will say the story is not overly focused on the plot, it is more about two broken people finding comfort and love with each other. Which happens to be one of my favourite story types. Title: The Rose and the Serpent Author: Atalan Word Count: 55795 words Rating: M Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: AU, retelling of “Beauty and the Beast”. Quite honestly, sending Aziraphale off into the forest to be held hostage by a giant snake in a cursed castle isn’t even the worst

thing Gabriel’s ever done to him, and at least it means a change of scene. But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting… Reccer's Note: This a Beauty and the Beast retelling. It is about Aziraphale realizing his own self worth, and Crowley finding a way to accept love even if he is cursed to remain in his snake form. It is such nice take on the classic fairy tale, while still being able to keep both Aziraphale and Crowley pretty in character. Title: You Can Cut My Hair But You'll Never Cut My Comedically Long Fanfic Titles!!! Author: indieninja92 Word Count: 29,886 words Rating: E Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Aziraphale is a mobile hairdresser. Crowley is the rudest customer he's ever had. They will simply never, ever, ever see eye to eye, and that's that on that. Reccer's Note: This was one of the first human AUs I ever read for this pairing, I was little worried about venturing into those waters, but the author does a great job with the voices in this one. The scenario is humourous, plus there are a couple of cameos from other characters. Title: moments lost, moments gained Authors: commodorecliche, Dervila Word Count: 12,895 Rating: M Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Crowley and Aziraphale are expelled from their respective realms when their partnership is found out, and find themselves waking up in hospital as humans, with no memory of their previous natures, and no memory of each other. Reccer's Notes: This fic is unlike the other Human AUs, in that Aziraphale and Crowley are turned human by God. Our poor boys are whumped hard in the beginning, but I loved how desperately they wanted to be together, even though they had no memories of each other.

Two Bingos for @feedthefandomfest Smut Edition

Sex Pollen: Choice of Drink by NoPlace35 Doctor Who, E, Twelve/Missy, 6036 words Summary: "He doesn't do this often enough. Downtime isn't something he's accustomed to, but the universe is safe, its biggest threat is sitting right in front of him at least, so he can relax and enjoy the company of his oldest friend/enemy while his current companion sleeps peacefully. " (Or the smut laden, sex pollen fic that no one asked for)

Threesome: I don't even have the will to be defiant by KennyPers Doctor Who, Twelve/Missy/Clara, E, 22,451 words, WIP Note: this story includes very dark elements like torture, rape, etc Summary: The new Doctor doesn't regret, doesn't apologize, doesn't ask. He experiments with everyone around him, plays with the feelings of others, without making excuses for who he is. Clara feels and feels sorry for him. Or so it was before, before this crazy symbiosis of a time lord and a young woman began to increasingly express itself in toxic dependence, in the erasing of the edges and limits of both capabilities and behavior.

But what if Clara continues to travel with the Doctor even when he promises to guard the vault with Missy? Or what traveling with two Time Lords might lead to.

Shower Sex: [rainbow emoji] [water emoji] by yonderdarling Doctor Who, Twelve/Missy, E, 3176 words Summary: "The Doctor: look Bill something very bad’s coming and we’re gonna be very busy so we both better get some pussy tonight." Originally PWP that became PWP with feelings.

Sex Magic: Whispering Wards by thundercrackfic Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley, E, 4588 words Summary: Heaven and Hell set a dangerous trap for Aziraphale and Crowley. The ineffable husbands develop a way to work magic together to protect Aziraphale from future attacks, with sexy results.

Angst and Fluff and Smut: Lament of Time by Bennybatchy Doctor Who, Twelve/Missy, M, 2473 words Summary: She doesn’t know at which point in the last fifty years they started fucking, but one moment he’d been lecturing her about the difference between right and wrong, and the next she’d pinned him up against the wall, with her skirt hitched around her hips. Now he laid next to her, face twisted into the pillows, his thin limbs sprawled across the bed, greedily taking all the space there was. It was a rare occurrence to find the Doctor here longer than necessary, after she’d taken him apart with all she had. “Do you sometimes think about them?”, Missy asked him. “Always.”

BDSM: Oh Master You're So Fine! by JerseyGirl324 Doctor Who, Twelve/Missy, E, 3136 words Summary: A private scene in the TARDIS set immediately post-"Eaters of Light."

Drunk Sex: Call me mmmmmaybe by mistressterably Doctor Who, Twelve/Missy, E, 2,332 words Summary: A FB friend asked if I could write something based no the doctor and a drunk call. Here it is.

Insert Play (blood play): Loving You's a Bloodsport by brandedforeverlame Interview with the Vampire (TV Series), Armand/Daniel, E, 4016 words Summary: After Louis leaves the apartment in Dubai to head to NOLA, Armand decides to reveal all to Daniel.

Double Penetration: too much by TheQuietWings Doctor Who, Twelve/Clara/Missy, E, 735 words Summary: Clara can have two Time Lords. As a treat.

OFMD: Fucking Bonnet (his fault) by Lilian

Posted by: kingstoken

Fandom: Our Flag Means Death Pairings/Characters: Izzy/Stede, Izzy/Stede/Ed Rating: E Length: 10,692 words Creator Links: Lilian Theme: stranded

Summary: Of course Fucking Bonnet comes back and brings a Spanish Navy Ship on his heels. Of course Izzy has no choice but keep him safe on a small island until Edward deals with that. Of course Stede Bonnet is incapable of shutting the hell up.

An enemies-to-lovers Stizzy, then Steddyhands story from Izzy’s PoV. Happy Ending!

Reccer's Notes: This was written pre-season 2, so it is an alternative take on how Stede and Ed would be reunited. Ed leaves Stede and Izzy on a deserted island while he goes to deal with other stuff. Stede and Izzy must survive together, grow closer, and fall into each other's arms. There is a lot of internal conflict from Izzy who is clearly in love with Ed, but is beginning to experince feelings for Stede. The story also contains some wonderful art pieces because it was created for a big bang.

THE BELL RIOTS

This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.

That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:

Hollywood Food Coalition Building Community since 1987 - Hollywood Food Coalition (hofoco.org)

San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals‎ (sfmfoodbank.org)

I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honored Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.

Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!
