A reminder of the allegations against Neil Gaiman, as shared by Hire Survivors Hollywood, a non-profit group who support survivors of sexual assault. These survivors aren’t just “the victims”: they have names and stories, and their voices deserve to be heard.
Scarlett, who worked as a nanny for Gaiman’s children, revealed that he sexually assaulted her in 2022 when she was 22 and he was 61, initiating an ongoing non-consensual sexual relationship.
K, who met Gaiman at a book signing in 2003 when she was 18 and he was in his mid-40s, describes a similar pattern of rape and sexual assault after they began a sexual relationship two years later.
Caroline Wallner, who worked on Gaiman’s property, revealed that he coerced her into sex by threatening her job and housing, and that he used explicit images and sexual demands to exert control over her.
Julia Hobsbawm was forced to fight off an assault by him in her London home in 1986.
Claire, who came forward anonymously in a podcast series, shared that Gaiman assaulted her during a book tour in the US in 2013. Gaiman took her to a room on his tour bus, got on top of her, kissed her, and groped her under her dress. In a 2022 phone call recording, Gaiman can be heard apologizing for his behavior, and offering $60,000 as a “tax-free gift” to cover the cost of a decade of therapy.

“Hello! I’m Bellisima, (or Bella, or Bell, or B), an elder millennial Nuyorican (Puerto Rican New Yorker) who lives in Long Island with my two kids, my husband and our pet goldfish, Orange. I’m relatively new to writing for my age, having started only three years ago at the ripe old age of 41. My stories are characterized by big, bold plots and rich, colorful side characters who not only serve as enablers for our Ineffables’ antics, but also have arcs of their own. I find that a robust supporting cast is a wonderful way to explore a wide variety of themes while remaining true to the characterizations of our beloved Ineffables. I actually have a feeling I may be the first author to list characters OTHER than them as my favorite to write. If you’ve read anything I’ve written, that shouldn’t come as a shock.
I watched Good Omens in January 2023 after I sped through David’s Tenth Doctor run and went searching for more of his works. I liked the first season well enough, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon some pretty incredible fan edits on TikTok in the lead up to Season 2 did the hyper fixation grip me (yes, it was the incredible talent of this FANDOM that drew me here long before the source material). And then the final fifteen left me dumbstruck. The rest is, as they say, history.
As someone on the older side of young, my interest in Good Omens has always been somewhat unconventional in that it spans far beyond the fates of Aziraphale and Crowley, and even beyond the religious implications of the source material. My interest lies in the themes of resistance; of what it means to fight for something versus fight against someone; of nature versus nurture and who you would be if the circumstances surrounding your life were different, and what it takes to look yourself in the mirror and face the truth; of oppression and being oppressed; and, of course, free will and what it means to truly love something more than yourself. All of my stories deal with those themes.”
So very happy to have you stepping into the spotlight, Bellisima 💗
And she wants to hear all of your questions so don’t hesitate to ask whatever is on your mind in our questionnaire!!
“In addition to talking about my fanfics, I adore talking about writing in general, especially as someone who started relatively recently with very little experience or confidence. If you have questions about how to get started, how to keep going, why to even try, please do send those along. I am more than happy to answer any and all of them!”
If you are a first-time reader of Bellisima’s work, or are looking for some recommended reads, here’s some suggestions from the author (and they ALL have a happy ending ☺️):
“If you want something short and sweet, I suggest An Antichrist and a Messiah Walk Into a Pub: part vision that came to me while doing dishes and part manifesting what I wanted to see in the finale, this silly (for me) one shot was written in a few hours and shows what a first meeting between the Son of God and the Son of Satan would look like. What would they discuss over fish and chips on the eve of the final judgement? It’s short and sweet and shows how I treat some of my favorite side characters in this sandbox.
If you want something a bit more meaty, then The Last Angel could work: big, bold and twisty, this is my most ambitious canon-divergent AU that explores the question: what would the world look like if Aziraphale and Crowley had not been assigned to earth. The short answer is: not good. Filled with love and heart and a decent helping of angst, this story spans six divergent POVs to take you on a ride that I hope you’ll not only enjoy but remember long after you’ve finished.
And if canon isn’t for you, then I would suggest Faery Godfathers: what I described as a trope smoothie, this one packs so much into (relatively) few words. A reverse omens, double enemies to lovers, fake relationship AU, in which Seelie Prince Adam and Unseelie Prince Warlock, as well as their respective Champions, Crowley and Aziraphale, find themselves battling generations of tradition, oppression, and prejudice to save their Courts and make the world one they can be proud to live in (thanks again @handyowlet for the clear and concise summary).”

there are a lot of Extremely Married moments in good omens, but I maintain that the Most Married moment is when crowley says out of nowhere, “ducks! they’re what water slides off.” and aziraphale heaves a deeply put-upon sigh and says, “….just drive the car.”
a close runner up is when Aziraphale wants to do magic at Warlock’s birthday party and Crowley just goes, “Make you disappear”, and Aziraphale’s not put out in the slightest
WIP Wednesday - Summers at Northwoods (M) by @bohoteacher
Aziraphale arrives at the Northwoods writing retreat in 2016 and unexpectedly forms a close connection with Crowley. When he arrives, Crowley has made up his mind to marry his manager Shax.
The two writers become inseparable each summer that follows and stay in touch in between. Crowley doesn't have to know Aziraphale feels more than friendship, right?
Some love stories are tumultuous, like a summer storm on the ocean. This one is like paddling down a lazy river. It's beautifully paced, and gently written.
This story updates regularly. But, if you don't read WIPs, make sure you bookmark or subscribe so you don't miss out when it's complete (I'll mark it complete on the pinned post on this site too).
Let our wonderful writers know how much we appreciate their efforts. Leave kudos and comments to keep our fandom community strong.
Love @bohoteacher (both as the person I know online and her writing), and I love the idea of this story. It's definitely in my pipeline to be read as soon as I can.
If you don't know her work yet, this might be a fantastic opportunity to get to know it. She has a beautiful, evocative voice and has made me cry more than once when I was not expecting that to happen. Looking at you, The Measure of a Man (In Square Metres).) 💜
i’ve noticed it’s common in fics for aziraphale to take his time in bed because he likes to luxuriate in and savor crowley (which i’m assuming comes from the way that he eats).
my headcanon though is since aziraphale is so pent up all the time, once he finally gets the opportunity he would lose his MIND. no way he could hold himself back if crowley was undressed and wanting him. because the thing is, aziraphale lets himself eat. he doesn’t let himself put his hands on crowley, at least not like that. sure, a little touch here and there, but imo there were at LEAST a few thousand years of sexual frustration. after all that time i don’t think he’d be able to even think about going slow, i think he’d be absolutely devouring that demon. no holds barred. too turned on to hold back.
@thewesterntreetoad @ineffablemossy THATS WHAT I’M SAYINGGGGGGG see y’all get it.
(amazingly vulgar, putting those two gifs together. i apologize for nothing.)

“It’s not—” Aziraphale hesitates. “There is, after all, precedent. The – the sacredness of, of slaughter. Lambs, and such. And – and the notion of bounty.” He waves a heavy arm. “The symbolism, therein.”
“Oh, sure.” Crowley nods, and his curly beard moves with him. “The symbolism therein.” Along the ground, his leg is bare where his robe falls away.
(Or: after his first experience eating food, Aziraphale is persuaded to try another one of earth's pleasures.)
@letmetemptyou19 dkfjdjfjslslfjs incredible, yes, i am picturing it vividly. and yeah i agree about the established relationship dynamic! after aziraphale gets a chance to get it out of his system i think he’d be very cherishing and slow, all romance and candles (featuring crowley utterly suffering and the hands of angelic patience). ahhh yes. good shit. savoring him like a delicious banan— no. like a lemon cream pie. actually that’s still not better. you get what i mean. perhaps too clearly now. ahem.

I like to think that AO3 and fanfiction are a bastion against dead internet theory. Sure, there's the AI and the bots, but at its heart fandom is still a community of passionate people going "LOOK AT WHAT I MADE" and having people go "THAT'S SO COOL" right back.
So yeah. You wanna beat the bots? Make things. Comment. The internet's not dead as long as you're still here making noise.
WIP GOmens doodle for my hero @a-zira-ziraphale-fell. My iPad got damaged, now I have a better iPad. I'm going to color this. Just wanted to prove it is happening. I love you @a-zira-ziraphale-fell, you deserve everything in the world.
TL;DR: Thank you, tumblr and AO3 people for keeping the charm and fun of Good Omens alive despite... ~waves hands about~ everything.
It's been two months since Good Omens "season" 3 aired and I still feel sick to my stomach when I think about it.
My first experience was reading the book in the very late 90s. I thought it a charming story, but the only thing that really stuck with me over the years was the gag about all cassettes left in one's car turn into the "Best of Queen".
Twenty years later, I saw an advertisement for a television adaptation staring David Tennant (*heart eyes*) and Michael Sheen ("ooh. he's great"). I watched the first episode, got distracted by a shiny object, and forgot to go back. Season two dropped. I realized I hadn't watched all of season 1, got distracted by another shiny object, and forgot to go back.
The teaser for season three appeared in my YouTube suggestions page in early May and it captured my attention. I decided to give the show another shot because third time's the charm, right? I burned through season 1 and cheerfully started up season 2. S2 felt... weird. I couldn't quite put my finger on it until about midway through when I realized that it was, at its heart, fan-fiction. Sheen and Tennant were still acting their faces off, but I simply didn't care about the modern-day plot. The flashbacks, though, made the series worthwhile.
And then I got to the Final 15. Crowley's anguished groan after "And I would like to spend..." broke the handle on my waterworks and I was a snotty, teary mess who cried so hard I gave myself a headache. That was May 10.
Honest to goodness, I don't know how the fandom made it through the break. Y'all had three years to stew. I had only three days. Oof. As broken-hearted as I was, I didn't know if I could handle the 90 minute finale, BUT the trailer looked like a fun romp and I dove straight in.
It was not a fun romp. The waterworks started in the garden and didn't let up. I didn't sleep that night. I discussed it with a Brit friend who tried cheering me up with "but they had dinner together!" It still didn't sit right. I spent the next week and a half in a daze, trying to figure out why I couldn't let go of the terrible, awful, soul-crushing feeling.
Exactly two weeks after the finale, my husband and I were in London and one of my must-see spots was AziraCrow's bench in St. James's Park (it wasn't a must-see but when we passed the stairs and terrace where Crowley still owes Aziraphale lunch, I got giggly). Seeing and sitting upon the bench made me so happy because it was a S1 location. Deep down, though, was a puddle of sadness that I still couldn't name.
I floundered a bit longer and then I remembered one of the main homes of fandom: tumblr. I dusted off my old account and looked up everything with a Good Omens tag. There it was! A shared dissatisfaction. And grief. I finally had a name for that gnawing pain. And pointers to fix-it fics! It was time to dust off my AO3 account and dive into *good* fanfiction which made silk purses out of the canonical turd.
It's two months since GO3 aired and the pain is lessening every day. The 14th century is in the rearview and I have you marvelous bloggers and writers and artists and fanvid-producers and creatives of all kinds to thank for healing my heart. Thank you.
