“Hello there. I'm Panic_CelestialInk, (Or Tamsin on Tumblr) and I'm a thirty something professional nerd. According to my mom, I started writing when I was small. I took a page and filled it with teeny tiny crayon circles because I was "writing". My writing skills have developed since then . . . hopefully. I love Good Omens since it's a story where I connect deeply with the characters, particularly Aziraphale and Crowley. This connection has only deepened through their portrayals in so many wonderful stories from the talented people in the fandom. You are all awesome!”

And we think you are pretty awesome too, Panic_CelestialInk💗

If you are a first-time reader of Panic_CelestialInk’s work, or just looking for a few recommendations, here’s a fantastic suggestion directly from the author:

“I have a wide variety of stories from different fandoms, but if you're looking for Good Omens, a crossover I'm very proud of is the "Golden Omens Girls" where the Golden Girls (yes, those ones) engage in some demon summoning . . . much to Crowley's annoyance."

You can find these and all of Panic_CelestialInk’s other works on AO3

I seem to have been hit by the AO3 curse. And, since misery loves company, today my theme is fics in which someone is cursed.

Let's start with My Beautiful Crow (T) by @venturous. This story reads like a classic fairy tale (a form I love), in which bookbinder Aziraphale is visited by a mysterious crow. Can you guess who it might be?

Next up is The Nutter Curse: An Epistolary Romance (T) by @bohoteacher and @thinkinginscripts, with art by @maon25. While researching Agnes Nutter and her curse on the men of the Crowley family, academic Aziraphale writes to the last of the line. In this clever collaboration, Scripts wrote Crowley and Boho wrote Aziraphale.

In The Whole Truth (G) by Aethelflaed, Gabriel brings a book cursed by demons to Aziraphale for safekeeping. But the curse has Aziraphale unable to lie. Will Crowley be able to help him? Or will being forced to tell the truth change everything?

We Only Said Goodbye with Words, I Died A Hundred Times (R) by ras_elased has Crowley hit with a lust curse. If he has sex with Aziraphale, he'll die. The only thing that would save him was if he was truly loved. But he's a demon. No one could possibly love him, right?

This story is currently being released as a comic on Tumblr by @anotherwellkeptsecret.

May I also recommend my dragon AU WIP, since Crowley is cursed to feed off people's life essences in order to survive?

Thank goodness for search functions. Of course, if we didn't have searchable word processing tools, we wouldn't have social media to play the game, would we? Anyway, thanks for the tag @bellisima-actually-writes. My words are: resort, wear, agree, and look.

I searched several works to find these, and ran into trouble with the very first word:

Resort: I don't use this word in any form in any of my WIPs. I'll apply a bonus at the end.

Wear (from Walking Dogs After Midnight, now uploading on AO3):

Aziraphale: Yes. And the appropriate attire for this outing? Crowley: A harness and lead should do fine. Aziraphale: I meant what should I wear? Crowley: 😏

Agree (from untitled work in which Crowley and Aziraphale are married by an Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas) :

Crowley was in Las Vegas because his friend, Bee, was marrying an American. Since they were nonbinary, Bee decided they deserved a hen do, stag night, and whatever other gatherings they wanted to have. Fuck gender norms. Always up for a party, their friends agreed. 

Look: (from I Could Read You Like an Open Book)

“He’s gay and cute. It doesn’t hurt to ask.  “How do you know? On either count?” “I have eyes,” Nina replied, rolling hers. “He looks like the Doctor, the one who cries.”  “Well, Ncuti Gatwa is charming, but he’d be far too young for me.” “No, the quirky one.” “Matt Smith?”  “The other quirky one.”  “I believe it’s in the brief for playing the Doctor.” Nina glared at Aziraphale. “No, the one with the crooked nose—David Tennant."

Bonus: Shipping (from Augmented Reality)

“So, you’ve been reading smutty fan fiction.” Crowley noted the blush disappearing from sight under the tartan bow tie.  “It’s not smut. It’s an erotic explorations of the dynamics between different characters. I believe they call it ‘boating.'” “Shipping, angel.” Crowley took a deep breath. It was time to rip off the plaster. 

No pressure tags to @loveagoodstory87, @dragonfire42; @angie-words, and anyone else who wants to play.

Cottage:

“Time to save for something permanent. I’ve already put away most of my pension. I thought we could save up for a cottage in Sussex like we always talked about."

Curiosity:

Crowley paused in front of a row of small modular houses. “There’s something else I want to show you.”

Ezra gave him a curious look, and followed him up to the window of one of the homes.

And two from my upcoming "A Truth Universally Acknowledged (or: The Jane Austen Ending)" written for the Ineffable 7 Zine:

Drove (driven):

"I have courted pride and ignorance, and driven reason away, where either were concerned. Till this moment I never knew myself.”

“Crowley?” Aziraphale put on a brave face. “You are too generous to trifle with me. If your feelings are still what they were when you confessed to me before I went to Heaven, tell me so at once.”

Grew (grown):

"From the day I saw you bring the stars into being, from the day you helped me save Job’s children or my books from the church, every day my love for you has grown. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.”

Thanks for the game @curiouspupsicle!

Tagging anyone who wants to play.

In the Dark of the Night:

Play:

“You want to play games. Fine. Let’s play.”

And, with that Crowley headed down the stairs. He could feel something following him, but he ignored the sensation as he headed straight for that room.

Garden

He went back to his bedroom. He was tempted to neaten out the bed, as he usually did, before he stopped himself. The ghost seemed like someone who liked things a particular way . . . what better way to annoy him than to mess with his stuff?

Then, the others are from Here Be Dragons

Stars

Crowley curled up as far as his shackles would allow. He was shivering so hard his teeth rattled together, but he was sure that it was not solely due to the frigid wind passing over the exposed cliff. Above him, the stars twinkled, indifferent to the starving man below them.

Magic

“Then, what are you going to do?”

“Free you, of course.”

“How are you going to do that?”

“I could use my claws or my teeth, but I think it would be safer for you to use a drop of magic.”
