(Art by the lovely @kowtownart! Love you, bestie!)

A series of stories where Caine attempts to make friends with everyone at the circus. But he worries that he will forget important things about the circus members like he did with Zooble. So Pomni helps him keep a written list of things to note about each circus member as he learns more about them.

Turns out his memory loss and emotional state goes deeper than anyone could have expected.

IT IS FINISHED! MY FIRST TADC ANIMATIC

I’ve never done ANYTHING like this before so I’m very proud of it (I’m open to constructive feedback though)

Also if anyone payed attention- this isn’t just a TADC animatic…it is a RWR!TADC animatic!!!

Maybe I hyped it up a lil too much but I’m actually very happy with how it turned out-

Fanfic: The Ringmasters Written Reminders by @the-spam-specialist

!DO NOT REPOST UNLESS YOU GIVE CREDIT!

they had no gay cake toppers so he went for the next closest match

Hey Sherlockians, and also Granadians, I have something for you: ACD’s “A Scandal in Bohemia”, “Silver Blaze”, and “The Adventure of the Copper Beeches” as read by Edward Hardwicke. <3 Before you listen, I feel it’s necessary to tell you that at the beginning Ted dedicates his reading “to the memory of Jeremy Brett.” Do what you need to prepare your heart, and have tissues nearby. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but so far I can guarantee that you will LOVE his voice of the King of Bohemia, or your money back. (And do you recognize the pic I used?) ;)

i do not know what compelled me to create this

my psych book:

If you have any favourite angel-centric recs (any of the canon angels as central characters except for Aziraphale), please feel free to add them to the Ao3 Collection here! I am in desperate desire!

Misuse of Miracles, by sburbanite

Rated M. Background A/C, Gabriel POV. 1.7k.  Gabriel gets receipts for all the miracles Aziraphale has been performing since the Apocalypse that wasn’t… none of which are safe for work.

Gabriel flipped forward to where the gold notation started to cascade down the margins. Things started to get a little more puzzling here: “magical removal and folding of clothing, banishment of dust and household debris, teleportation a few short feet within the same building”. No real reason for that, surely? Had the angel become so slothful that he couldn’t be bothered to simply walk upstairs? Aziraphale had always been lazy for a celestial being, but Gabriel was sure he’d never been that lazy.

Finally, Gabriel reached the part where Pravuil’s notes simply trailed off, a single blot of gold from his quill staining the page. “Summoning of lubricant oil,” he read aloud, “banishment of…bodily fluids…painless insertion of…OH, GOOD GOD!”

This fic is hilarious. I really love the way OP approaches Gabriel’s POV - he’s delightfully banal in terms of the way he thinks and what he finds interesting or, in this case, infuriating, and it’s a really great concept.

Build Me Up, Buttercup, by somanyopentabs

Rated G. Gabriel/Sandalphon. 600 words. Gabriel is VERY upset that he didn’t get to fight and win a war. He needs cheering up.

“Ah, material objects,” Gabriel replied knowingly. He picked up a piece of chocolate.

“You could put it in your mouth.”

“No, thanks.” Gabriel happily tossed it over his shoulder. “This is fun. What’s next?”

This fic is so adorable, and I still just can’t get over it! It’s Gabriel and Sandalphon rushing around and doing… so many human things completely wrong, and I just love the way it get into the way Sandalphon and Gabriel see the world, and each other!

Revelations, by AnnetheCatDetective

Rated T. Aziraphale/Gabriel, also all the other angels bar Metatron. 3.4k.  For a prompt asking to see Aziraphale coming clean to the other angels about Crowley, and their being concerned but supportive.

“I told you.” Uriel whispers. “He meant he loves the demon with the all-encompassing love of Heaven.”

“But they were holding hands.”

“You’re holding hands.” Aziraphale points out, motioning to where Gabriel and Sandalphon are doing just that.

Obviously I’m biased because I love everything Cat has ever written, and the two of us live in the same pile of tropes and obscenities, but… This is so great. I really love the different ways the various angels are uncertain of but uncomfortably supportive of Crowley and the whole dynamic, and just! Some of the dialogue is rib-achingly funny, I die big time!

Five Times Michael Entered Hell, and the One Time She Didn’t, by coldho

Rated T. Michael/Beelzebub. 3k. Michael takes pride in her back channels; she knows how to play the enemy like the Protector she was created to be.

There are some visits she’s made to Hell, though, that she remembers more than the others.

“You haaaveee friendzzzz in heavvvveeeeen?” Beelzebub teases in turn. When Michael snorts, decidedly unangelic, Beelzebub clenches her teeth, digs her fingers into the chair, rolls her hips up to meet Michael’s skin.

“Didn’t think zzzzo,” she says, Michael pressing her hips back down. She keeps a tight hold on Beelzebub as she traces a slow swath down her stomach with her tongue. Beelzebub is cloying, gagging, delicious, and she strips it away with every swipe.

In Michael’s opinion, it’d be a funny world if angels went around befriending each other. 

Hhhhh, this fic… There’s a kind of exquisite decadence to the way this one is written, and it really does feel as you’re reading that it will choke you - it’s filthy, full to the brim with the crowded, rotting aura of Hell, but it’s just! masterfully tied up with Michael’s engagement, her interest, her desire. I can’t recommend it enough, it’s gorgeously penned. 

Be Not Afraid, by Scmnz

Rated G. Gabriel & Mary. 1.1k.  Gabriel, God’s messenger angel, is sent to inform some humans that they will soon be parents. It does not go as well as he had hoped, and he’s not quite sure where he lost them (because it couldn’t possibly be him who messed up).

She screamed and dropped what she was holding. “Oh, my bad!” The angel boomed. “Do not be afraid! I’m not sure why that’s necessary, but still, sorry for forgetting.” He slumped a little, looking discouraged.

Mary was confused. What kind of greeting was this? Still, better to be polite to the huge winged man who had just walked through her wall and was now grinning like an idiot. “Yes?” She asked. “That’s… good, that the Almighty is with me.”

This is really cute! Gabriel is… ever so earnest, and I just die over him trying so hard to get the hang of this communicating-with-humans business, but just… not being so great at it. 

Saturday Morning Runtime, by Bluethenstaub

Rated G. Aziraphale & Gabriel. 1k.  Gabriel goes jogging. Sometimes he meets people who surprise him.

Every time Gabriel sees Aziraphale, he realizes there are so many things you can do for your body.

You can get yourself a nice haircut.

You can buy yourself a wonderful cashmere suit.

You can get your nails done.

But one of the things Gabriel enjoyed the most, is jogging.

This fic is really… It’s just a little extension of the scene in the park, but from Gabriel’s POV, and I just love the way it kind of digs into Gabriel’s POV - how he sees things so simply, but also kind of struggles with that? It’s funny, it’s sweet, but especially when Gabriel is fucking up with Aziraphale - and has such faith in him - there’s a tremendous bittersweetness to it. 

A civil aspect, by Nineveh_uk

Rated G. Michael & Beelzebub. 800 words.  Michael and Beelzebub have their own lines of communication, and their own way of dealing with traitors.

‘Bread and circuses?’

'There’s no bread in Hell.’

'Nor Heaven, we prefer manna. But I’m sure you and your associates enjoy toast, Lord Beelzebub. I think it’s high time that our erstwhile agents were made to set an example.' 

'Yesz.’
