Name: BRNZ but you can call me Rose

Fandoms: BBC Sherlock and Good Omens

Where you post: Ao3, Tumblr

Most popular multi-chapter: Though Our Hearts Were Barely Bleeding, They Were Beating Outward In (nearly 29,000 hits 😱)

Fic you were nervous to post: This Is How It Ends because it was my first MCD fic and I wasn't sure how it would be received - ITS REALLY FUCKING SAD 😂

How do you choose your titles? Usually song lyrics but occasionally I use a line or a theme from the fic instead.

Do you outline? Depends on the fic. Hearts was my first AU and its going on 40 chapters and still not done. It was outlined and the basic plot points scoped before I started to write it and it evolved from there. Most of my stories literally come from the voices in my head. The plot for the MCD fic noted above came to me when I was mopping the floor so *shrug*

Complete: Right now I've got 13 completed works on AO3 and 2 WIPs.

In progress: Hearts is at 41 chapters but close to finishing (GO). The Things That Haunt Us is a Sherlock fix it fic that started with one idea and has meandered into a much longer and more involved story than anticipated. I'm having fun seeing where it takes me.

Coming but not soon: I want to start recording some podfics and I REALLY need to finish Hearts before I start anything else

Do you accept prompts? No, sorry. I reallio trulio hear the stories from the voices in my head.

Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Nothing specifically planned at this stage

Upcoming story you are most excited about: I'm looking forward to @arwamachine finishing To Stand Before the Storm which is fabulous. I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVE Hired Gun by @simplyclockwork and I am hanging out for the second part of that, as well as Kindred Spirits. Bakers with Benefits is quite delightful 😀

UPDATE 2023

Apologies for those reading my WIP - i haven’t updated in so very long. Covid ate my creative energy.

Ive gone back to some other things, got out my bobbin lace, started to crochet again. Got into coloured Blackwork which i am loving doing.

This works perfectly fine too! Thank you!

Chosen and Unchosen by Bookwormgal

Adam Young was meant to be the Anti-Christ. His entire purpose was to cause the end of the world. In many ways, he was the Chosen One, albeit for a rather dark path. But he was raised completely human and normal, without any unusual expectations of him beyond being a regular boy. He remained unaware of his heritage or destiny until the very end. And though he was chosen, he did not accept his role and rejected it and his connection to Lucifer.

Warlock Dowling was not chosen. He was born as an ordinary child, with no special skills or powers. He should have lived an average life. But he was raised with certain Expectations. Occult and ethereal entities Expected him to be the Anti-Christ. He was not chosen or fated for such a role, but reality tends to bend a little when angels and demons have Expectations.

The apocalypse may have been averted, but not everyone is relieved. Heaven and Hell may not believe that they can execute the traitors, but they also cannot let Aziraphale and Crowley go unpunished. Unfortunately for them, two not-quite-so-normal boys have some rather strong opinions on the topic.

Chec out Parsley Sage Thyme and Daffodils - this is a delightful fic which matches your intro very closely - it has a great follow up with the comments telling a story too :)

Check out Slumber Party Summons - its an excellent summoning fic
