CuriousPupsicle's Library

After writing my first fic, I began working on a multi-chapter fic (more about that later). My friend, chief encourager, and beta reader, @spectrallydistracted, suggested I should write another one-shot to introduce myself to people before beginning to publish my longer work. The idea I came up with was Reunited (T).

I love clever Easter eggs, references, meta, and breaking the third wall. I used all of that in this silly little story set in a post-Second Coming world (prior to the finale). In it, as I begin writing a tender story in which our ineffable pair celebrated finally getting to be together on their own side, a certain angel and demon make their thoughts known about my storytelling. They continue to interrupt me through the writing. Of course, as I reread it, I saw things I might change. But overall, I'm proud of this one-shot, mostly because it's easy to tell who's speaking in the story, even without the formatting clues. Aziraphale, Crowley, and I each have a unique way of speaking. I wondered, once again, if this story had any purpose given the story told in the finale. But I suspect many fans might enjoy it as a sweet, "what could have been" story. I guess we'll see over time.

If it sounds like the kind of story you want to read, I hope you'll give it a chance, and let me know what you think.

If you're a writer, I'd encourage you to join the fun for GO Fan Fiction Writers Throwback Thursday by sharing your thoughts and process on one of your own fics.

Apparently the two have "things to say." But c'mon. We know they couldn't possibly write a story any better, amirite?

Aziraphale sees sound, words and feelings as colours. Crowley sees the world without colour at all – only shades of grey, light, shadow and texture.

When they meet, they begin, carefully and almost accidentally, to show each other how the world looks from their side.

Every Colour Of You

The story was created for @fandomtrumpshate 2026 as a gift for the wonderful Chandyowlet (@handyowlet on Tumblr). And although I’m the one who put it on paper, this story was genuinely collaborative – which is why she absolutely deserves a co-creator credit.

Thank you, for everything, dear C.

The story is completely written, the first two chapters are up. More every Tuesday and Friday, as usual?

Many GO fic fans look for the romance. Tons come (pun intended) for the smut. For me, Good Omens hits a similar place in my heart to The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins (the wry books, not the sweet movie), and Sesame Street. It activates my love for children's entertainment.

Today's theme combines beloved children's stories and characters with our ineffable pair.

In A Neighbourly Day (G) by @on1occasionfork, Aziraphale takes Crowley to Pittsburgh in 1970 to meet a very special children's television host. Would you be surprised to learn that Mr. Rogers was as welcoming to a demon as any other guest on his show? I thought not. Crowley finds everyone around him turning into Muppets in it's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights (T) by @quitequaintrelle. This fic is proof that sometimes, the best thing to do, is to just go with it. In Which Aziraphale Meets a Bear of Very Little Brain (G) by @supergeek21 has Winnie-the-Pooh taking refuge in a warm and welcoming bookshop when he gets lost in London.

Muriel faces Sandalphon. Crowley has a verbal standoff with Saraqael. It ends with a simple choice: Try to save Aziraphale or try save humanity? And really, Crowley’s answer was always gonna be-

1811. Returned to London after the death of his father, infamous rake Anthony ‘Crowley’, Duke of Morningstar, has three months to restore his tattered reputation and secure himself a proper match, on pain of having his title stripped from him. Enter the irreproachable Lord Aziraphale, newly minted Viscount Eastgate, who would very much like to discourage his many suitors from lining outside his door in Mayfair so he can go back to enjoying his peaceful existence on the shelf. After a chance meeting at a gentlemen’s club, it appears the two may lend each other a helping hand after all. While a fake engagement will not solve their problems once and for all, it should buy them enough time to put their respective affairs in order. If only the ultimate goal of their Arrangement would remain as clear and unchanging as it should…

Excerpt from Chapter 1 - “The Angel”:

Stormy grey eyes widened in surprise and then slowly roamed all over Crowley’s face, moving even further south, along his waistcoat, his pantaloons, down to the blood red tassels of his Hessian boots. Now, in polite company, such attention could only be described as rude. However, Crowley prided himself on being as far from polite company as one possibly could be and it was clear, at least judging by the unfocused intensity of the man’s expression, that he hadn’t quite realised what he was doing. Besides, Crowley liked to be ogled. Thrived on it. There was no other reason for wearing pantaloons that tight. In his experience, the more he could get people to concentrate on his appearance, the more successful his deceptions. So he grinned and folded himself on the chair with the snake-like gracefulness he’d cultivated over the years. “Am I more or less interesting than your book?” The angel frowned and drew back, cheeks pinkening and eyes blinking in sudden awareness. “Why, I never–” Crowley smirked and popped a roasted potato in his mouth. “Don’t answer,” he said, mouth full. “That was terribly forward of me. Rude, even.” A wrinkle appeared between the angel’s eyebrows, something akin to recognition not so slowly dawning on him as he straightened his back. “According to what I have heard about you, I should not expect anything less.” “Oh, my fame precedes me, then.” He speared another potato as obnoxiously as he could. “I am afraid it does, Your Grace,” the angel said, lips almost comically pursed in disapproval. “What are you doing at Angel’s?” “Same thing you are, I wager.” “Somehow I doubt it.”

Crowley uses his small boat to ferry people between an island and the mainland. Aziraphale has been his passenger for the last 3 years.

I haven’t done one of these in a while. But I finally have something to share! So, here’s a small bit from Catalyst - a GO S3 quasi-canon compliant missing scene oneshot. It should be out in the next few days.

She stretches her palm out into the vacant expanse of what once was and would again be the astral fields. Let them see. Let them see where they came from, where they will make something new from all that remains.

And things certainly do remain. True, there’s no air fryers. No rubber ducks or sushi. Kangaroos or boomerangs. No Austen or Shostakovich, Shakespear or Sondheim. But there will be— or at least there may be.

The matter is there, malleable and bursting with potential. Inky black and iridescent only because it knows itself to be so beneath starlight, the matter waits. It swirls and churns in the vast undefined sea. It trellises around the suggestion of fingers and curls curiously around the memory of her lips and eyes. It whispers to the two flames shining in the darkness and nips at the world in the palm of her hand.

Matter is neither created nor destroyed, it is conserved. The matter remembers what it once was. Soon, it will have a choice as to what it shall be again.

June 1, 2026: Travelers' Tales

Happy Pride Month! 

I was going to pick my favorite Pride-related stories for this month, then I decided you are going to have no trouble finding those stories. I might even offer a few of my own. 

The travelers in these tales are restless. They don’t know how to settle down, nor do they think they want to. They haven’t stopped moving for some time. Then they meet someone who makes them reconsider. 

Coming up with themes and ways stories are connected isn’t always easy or obvious. But somehow, these three stories fell together immediately.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

The June Fic Recs

1 Corinthians 13 1-13 by ffinoppop  @ffonippop

Rated: M

Published: February 2024, 21K words, 1/1 chapters

Summary: Restless traveler, Aziraphale Fell, meets settled-down Anthony Crowley in middle-of-nowhere, Texas. Aziraphale goes through life flitting from place to place, never staying long. He runs on the belief that if he’s not going, he’s missing out on something better. Crowley’s life is stationary. He keeps himself rooted with the belief that his life is the best it’s ever going to get, and to go would be to risk that. Aziraphale has to go. Crowley has to stay. They have to take what they can get from each other, and that needs to be enough.

My Take: I’ve read this story at least three times now. Each time I get a little more from it. The central question here is, what do you do when you are terribly in love and yet that isn’t enough to make you change who you believe you are at your core? Can one person ever be enough to make you give up everything else? Should they be? It’s something a lot of us have struggled with. It’s very well done, heartbreaking, and the ending makes more sense than you might expect.

Summary: When Anthony Crowley meets Aziraphale Fell at Aziraphale's library, little do they know that they will turn each other's worlds upside down. After a magical week spent falling in love, they face a hard reality. Will they be able to make the choices they need to make to build a real life together?

My Take: I’ve read this one several times, too. Imagine my delight when I finally realized the author was my friend Thingy! It takes me a while sometimes. (Those of you who remember my story about my bday fic written by @brenna will understand.)

This story has so many great tropes: strangers to friends to lovers, long-distance relationship struggles, commitment issues, secrets, misunderstandings, jealousy. And of course my BIG requirement: a happy ending.

Here, the problem is Crowley can’t seem to stop moving, to settle into a relationship, to commit—even though it appears he wants to. It takes a while to find out why. When you do, be ready for a bit of heartbreak before the guaranteed happy ending. 

Buddy Boating by CuriousPupsicle @curiouspupsicle

Summary: Azira Fell is happy sailing solo and living aboard her sailboat, Meander, with her cat Oscar. Toni Crowley is happy sailing solo and living aboard her sailboat, Siren. What will happen when the two independent cruisers meet?

My Take: This is the femme Good Omens human AU you never knew you needed. Hell, until I beta’d it, I didn’t even know I needed it. But I did, and so do you.

CuriousPupsicle knows her boats (she lived aboard for years; don’t ask me about it, I’m not the expert) and makes you feel as if you are there when you read any of her sailing stories. This isn’t an adventure story like Anchored (also an excellent story, but much different). This is a lazy, slow, will-they-or-won’t-they summer romance, perfect for reading right about now. Other GO characters pop up (Tracy and Shadwell as long-time sailing friends, Gabriel as, well, Gabriel) and the whole thing feels like a comfort read the first time you read it. 

Okay, that's it for June. We'll be well into summer by the time I write my next set of fic recs. Maybe something about vacations? Or maybe something on the water? We'll see what floats my boat. (See what I did there? Yeah?)

I'm cross-posting this to my side blog for those who might be seeing this twice. Just so you know.

I did a quick levitating cane magic trick for my photo op while dressed as Fell the Marvellous at FanExpo, and he said it was "Incredible!" which made my whole day!

My first job out of high school was (a very short lived) tour as a magician with my cousin, and I've been performing on and off for over twenty years and always feel excited to pull a few of my magic tricks out of my trunk!

Here's a link to me performing some of my tricks in better detail (My favorite part of performing as Fell is if I mess anything up, it's just part of the character!) https://www.tumblr.com/dragonfire42/777872235328389120/pulled-out-some-of-my-magic-tricks-today-heres?source=share

I also did some fanfiction writing about Fell the Marvellous too - here's links to those:

It was so great to attend so many great panels and meet so many old and new friends in person, it was truly a magical time! And meeting David Tennant was a dream come true!
