Summary:

Anthony Crowley is a uni dropout turned barista who’s worked at the same café for 15 years and has lived with his friend Ana and her little family ever since his relationship to Luca Morningstar ended. He’s decided dating is not for him because (nearly) all men are wankers who aren’t interested in anything beyond the physical. Aziraphale Fell is an accountant who’s lived in the same building as Ana for the past five years and has been a regular at the café ever since. Aside from an ill-advised relationship with Gabriel Messenger, he has been single for a while.

Crowley and Aziraphale are both interested in each other and very much convinced that the other has no interest in them. Ana has been trying to gently push Crowley to ask Aziraphale out and been dropping hints for both of them, but nothing is working. Then Ana hears Aziraphale is going on a singles' cruise, and since Crowley has a birthday coming up, she’s making plans…

Teaser

The full piece awaits you in chapter 9 – and you'll be able to see it once a week starting Monday, July 6th, when I start posting. It's such a gorgeous piece; it had to be the cover for this story as well. Go on, everyone, tell @skullfragments how beautiful this is; I'll wait. ☺️💜

The following is a short teaser from chapter 2 of Charting a Course:

He went back to the beginning of the line and read again, more carefully this time. “Start: 7:30 pm in the Eden Lounge, meet the other singles and perhaps your new beau!” Crowley’s voice had become a little shrill on that last word. “New. Beau. BEAU!”

I hope you find this interesting enough that you'd like to read more and that I'll see you all next Monday for chapter 1. ☺️

A Summer Omens Big Bang collab by @maon25 (art) and me (story)

Now posting in instalments on AO3!

Summary:

It’s summer once more in Kensington Gardens.

The white marble statue of an Angel, half hidden under a canopy of trees, is content enough with his life, his animal friends in the park, the here and now.

Until an unusual Black Nightingale lands on his left wing and sings to him stories of woe, of mystery, of a dear friend lost, of his quest to find the love of his life again.

Every summer, the Nightingale, who remembers only fragments of what really happened to himself and his long-lost soulmate, revisits the Marble Angel, having gathered more hints and ✨Clues✨ to help his quest. The Angel’s marble heart melts with empathy for him, and with other feelings that seem new - but are they?

~~~

This is a romantic fairytale, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Happy Prince’, retelling Good Omens in symbolic language.

This story is fully written, will have 8.3 k words in 6 chapters, and will update twice per week.

A new story written for Summer Omens Big Bang

Artwork by @becky-7750 (used with permission)

For ten summers, famed sci-fi author Anthony J Crowley and literary darling Aziraphale Fell return to Northwoods, a prestigious writing institute tucked beside a Minnesota lake.

Every year they sit on the same dock and watch the herons.

Year after year, their friendship becomes the fixed point around which both their lives quietly turn.

Crowley spends a decade believing Aziraphale is his best friend.

Aziraphale spends a decade believing Crowley will never love him back.

They are both wrong.

A story about friendship becoming love, summer traditions, patient birds, one very important dock, and two middle-aged idiots who take ten years to figure out what they mean to each other. This is a human AU featuring mutual pining, middle-aged romance, and a happy ending.

My heartfelt thanks to @thinkinginscripts for helping me figure out what story I really wanted to tell. Somewhere along the many conversations we had about it I realized that, beneath the writing institute, the lake, and ten summers of friendship, this was ultimately a love story.

Thank you as well to @thinkinginscripts and @maon25 for beta reading and much thoughtful feedback throughout the writing process.

With thanks to @gosummerbang for creating this bang space for us 💛 and to @becky-7750 for this beautiful illustration.

Wish I had more time to work on this, but I wanted to get in, at least, one art piece representing pridemonth🌈 before June is over.

I love these two so much.

Happy Pride! ✨️🏳️‍🌈
