#eternityupdate

Yup, you read right. I had a think about it, and there will be no epilogue. Yet. (See author's note). Also yes, it's my birthday ☺️

FFnet link!

As always, a snippet. This is Eternity chapter 19 - Lazarus (Finale part 2)

-Listen here, you self-sacrificing dumbass of a demon! - she told him off, tears of stubborn affection swelling up in her eyes - You think you're getting away with this? -  The little star pulsed once, weakly, as if in response. Her lips curved into the smallest smile. -Six thousand bloody years it takes you to tell the angel you love him!  You go through Heaven and Hell – literally. You get your heart shattered, then rebuilt. And the second you're finally happy that bastard - she gestured in Metatron's general direction with despise - makes you use the sacrifice card? Oh, hell no -  The star pulsed again, stronger; and then a second time.  -You have people who love you. You have a world – a whole damn universe – that you just saved. You've got a cottage to build, a pond to fill and ducks to feed. This is not how this ends -  It pulsed again and again. Dim, struggling, like a candle against a storm. Eleyn could feel its warmth now, just barely. She could feel him clinging to life, not ready to let go. She took a deep breath, her skin beginning to tingle in what had become a familiar feeling. -Fuck the Angel's Dagger. Fuck divine rules. Fuck the whole system. I am the daughter of God. I am the second coming and I. Am not. Done -  The weak little star flared, for less than a second; a strong, fierce pulse full of fire and full of life. Then it dimmed again. Her chest heaved up and down, tears rolled down her cheeks.  -Get. Your arse. The fuck up. Right. Now - 

I would also like to quote a snippet of the author's note ☺️

'It is genuinely hard for me to express with words how honored I am to be part of this wonderful fandom and to have been able to put in my little grain of sand; no matter how small it may be.'

So yeah. My first ever finished fic. I don't have to tell you how insanely proud I am, right? Also, to have finished it on this precise day. It will be one of my most cherished memories, that's for sure.

Final update tag for @beerok23 and @celticseawych. Thank you so much for your infinite hype and kind words whilst I've been writing this!! Grazie di cuore 🧡

I hope you have all enjoyed this fic! I know that I've enjoyed creating it immensely!!

I'm an expert in missing wip Wednesdays, me.

So...I guess...WIP THURSDAY?

WIP THURSDAY! YAY!

Little snippet of ETERNITY Chapter 18 (we're in the Home Run now!!). I'm not giving you the title till I publish it this time though :)

Estimated ETA: Next week? Probably? Again, don't quote me on it. I'll try to get it done as soon as possible.

-Oh, fuck off! - the demon bit back, stepping closer. He’d reached the stairs to the Basilica - We didn’t do shit, you did all the work yourself like a big boy - he taunted The Voice of God, his tone infantile. Then Crowley’s expression turned serious - But why? Why go through all that trouble? The pact with Satan, this whole elaborate plan…what could you possibly have to gain? ‘Cause, in case you forgot, you’re the second most powerful being in crea… -  There it was. That flinch. That slight flaring of his nostrils, that small twitch of his nose, that flash of something deep and dark behind his eyes.  -Ohhh… - the demon relaxed into his smirk once again - It’s that word, isn’t it? Second - he pronounced every syllable, as though relishing in the other’s escalating rage - Oh, it makes you furious, doesn’t it? Once a man, always a man, ey Enoch? -  -You will stop using that name - The Metatron growled, barely containing the eruption boiling inside of him. -Why? You prefer the other one? - Crowley played with him, pushing exactly the right buttons - Metatronos. The one behind the throne, sat on a squeaky wooden stool, drooling over God’s golden chair. But you got tired. Admiring the throne from afar wasn’t enough, so you decided to take it. How very human of you -  -Silence - 

Hope you like it when it comes out!!

(It won't let me do the pretty link. That's annoying)

Anyway, yay!!!

As always, here's a teeny tiny mini snippet:

-So, in summary - Newt said, his voice flat - What you’re saying is that you’re hoping to save the whole of the universe on a technicality -

There was a beat of silence. Witchfinder and demon stared at one another

-Well. Yes - replied Crowley, seeing no point in denying it.

-Fantastic. Where do we begin? -

I hope you enjoy!!

(If it's your first time coming across Eternity, allow me some shameless self-promotion: It's a post-season-2 hurt/confort with a bunch of action and mystery thriller action throw in and, of course, romance. Featuring all our fave angles and demons plus a very special original character! Also on FanFiction under the username FireFenix05, if you prefer that platform)

(Am I doing a tag list now? Guess I am 😅)

Again.

But, in my defense, I did finish the chapter!

ETERNITY CHAPTER 18 - LE'EHOV(TO LOVE) IS OFFICIALY UP ON A03! (AND FFnet)

TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR THIS CHAPTER:

(They are also disclosed at the beginning of the chapter, but just to make absolutely sure)

Descriptions of bleeding and injuries, slight body horror (non-graphic but emotionally heavy), intense grief and emotional breakdowns (sorry), possible themes of martyrdom (again, sorry). Permanent and/or temporary death of main character.

This one's a little heavier. Please take care while reading 🧡

As always, a little piece of it:

- Playing with old toys, Angel? - the demon teased, just as he blocked an oncoming attack. -Oh well, you know me - Aziraphale teased back, knocking an angel right off their feet and sending them to sleep with a hit on the top of the head - Always had a penchant for tradition - In perfect sync, angel and demon spun one hundred and eighty degrees, still back to back. Crowley spat a flame of hellfire at an oncoming angel, making them fly out of the way. Aziraphale swung the flaming sword, and the angel attacking him jumped back. -Nothing more traditional… - Crowley spoke again, interrupted by another spear clashing into his - Than you and me against the rest of the world, ey? - -Story of our lives - Aziraphale shot back at him, cracking a smile just as the angel jumped back towards him, only for their stomach to collide against his crossguard.

I hope you enjoy part one of the grand finale!!!

-Nix🧡

Tag list! @beerok23 and @celticseawych !

I know, I know, I'm late. I said I'd publish last week but between family visiting and other shenanigans I did not have a second to write. But! The chapter is almost done, and I HOPE to publish by the weekend. And then, if I can actually pull it off, publish the epilogue little after.

Anyway, here's what you all came for!! A little snippet from ETERNITY Ch. 19 - [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]

And enter...God

With all the grace in the universe, She turned towards the Basilica; her latte vanishing like it had never been there in the first place, and went up the steps, the click of Her heels echoing throughout the Vatican. Eleyn followed, as did the other three. When they had all finally reached the top, God stopped dead, methodically eyeing the being which stood there with a silence heavier than Heaven itself.  Metatron and the angels which surrounded him, Satan to one side. To the other; Mashheet, Uriel, Saraquael and… -Michael - the name clapped through the air like thunder, making them jump. God pinned them with their omnipotent gaze, slowly extending a hand and gesturing towards Herself with a finger, her voice laced with sweet venom - Come, sweetness. Let’s catch up - 

(God speaks in cursive btw, to contrast Satan, who speaks in all caps 😆)

Also, brownie points for whoever guesses the movie character I used as my main inspiration (alongside Frances McDormand of course) for God.

Here's the Ao3 link to the fic from Chapter 1!!

I hope you'll enjoy the full chapter and sorry for the wait again!! 🧡🧡

WIP WEDNESDAY!

Here's a little piece from ETERNITY chapter 19 - [Redacted for spoilers] >>

-Fuck the Angel's Dagger. Fuck divine rules. Fuck the whole system. I am the daughter of God. I am the second coming and I. Am not. Done -  The weak little star flared, for less than a second; a strong, fierce pulse full of fire and full of life. Then it dimmed again. Her chest heaved up and down, tears rolled down her cheeks.  -Get. Your arse. The fuck up. Right. Now -  The light got stronger, stronger and warmer and fuller. It flared vivaciously, like it was about to burst in flames and life and then – Nothing.  Just darkness. 

Am I being mean and bluffing? Am I just that bad of a person? You'll find out 😆

Tagging @beerok23 and @celticseawych for the update as per usual.

Disclaimer: I'm having less time to write than I thought I would. I will TRY to get it ready for next week. ish. Hopefully.

-Nix 🧡

Told you it would be a weekish 😅🫶🏼

As per usual, a little snippet as incentive! I hope you all enjoy this chapter, it was definitely a fun one to write, mainly for spoilery reasons I can't yet disclose :)

-Yalda shel or. Child of light - the archangel outstretched a bony hand which she instantly took, kneeling down beside Crowley - You have freed me. Thank you - -Pleasure - she smiled, placing her other hand over theirs. -Remember this - they whispered, loud enough for only her and the demon to hear - A good phrase should never be left unfinished - -Told you they spoke in riddles. No offence - Crowley quipped, startling a giggle out of God’s daughter and drawing a small smile on the archangel’s face - Listen, Raph, we need to… - -Ask me something, yes - they interjected, releasing Eleyn’s hand to sit themselves up straight against the wall - Tell me what it is you wish to know. It is the least I owe you -

Nix actually remembering to do WIP Wednesday?? Shocking, I know.

Little fragment from ETERNITY chapter 17 - Raphael

- Answer me this, though - she said - If God is a woman, why is she always represented as an old man with an overgrown beard? -

-It is quite curious - Muriel added, looking up at one of the other frescoes - I believe this is one of the first times she was depicted at all, in fact -

- Well - Aziraphale laughed, softly, then lowered his gaze and gave Crowley a friendly glare - Perhaps you should ask the demon in the room -

Ah. That’s what Aziraphale had meant.

Crowley could barely believe it when Michelangelo - in the flesh - had walked into the tavern where the demon was having an evening drink that night in Rome, some 530 years earlier. The young artist couldn’t have been much older than thirty from what he remembered, and he’d just arrived to Rome by order of the Pope himself, to finish up the sistine chapel’s interior. Crowley had tried not to get involved, but in the end he couldn’t help himself: he walked up to Michelangelo and very politely expressed his admiration, to which the young man had replied by smiling and offering to buy him a drink. And who was Crowley to refuse?

What had followed had been a drunken and near-tearful confession from the artist. Turned out the poor sod was terrified to the bone of messing up the paintings; he’d even told Crowley that the Pope scared him stiff. Having absolutely no clue what else to do, the demon had offered some reassurance. And some advice, which might or might not have had anything to do with God having been depicted as a grumpy old man with a glorious beard.

Of course Aziraphale had recognized the joke the moment he’d seen it, all those years ago. Crowley had never said a word about it—hadn’t needed to. One look at the Almighty stretched across the ceiling, and the angel had immediately clocked it.

-Yeeeah, that was me - he smiled, trying not to look too proud of himself - Harmless little prank. But in my defense, the beard was Mikey’s idea -

(This is what I meant in my previous post hehe)

Tagging @beerok23 and @celticseawych because update.

ETA for the chapter: Next week ish, but don't quote me on it 😅
