Read Catalyst on AO3

Depending on your interpretation, this could be S3 divergent or compliant. Come and see how the new universe began, and what happened to God in the process.

Excerpt: The last of the old-world particles scatter, petals swept away by the memory of wind. Two sparks tarry too long, twirling and twisting toward one another. Even their remnants remember the motion, a binary orbit while all else moves on. They touch, at tail and tip, but there is still a fault line between them and the universe-that-was insinuates itself in that small space.

She watches them bend and bow, sure their steps will reveal which essence is which. But, while their dance is beautiful, no matter how long she watches, she is no closer to knowing them. They have shaped one another’s existence far more than she ever had. With the patina of millennia polished away, discerning who is whom is no more possible than distinguishing the flames of two lit matches pressed to the same wick.

It is uncomfortable, this Not Knowing. She will be doing rather a lot of it in the very near future, that much she understands. But, it doesn’t mean she has to start immediately.

She scoops them up, settles them, burnished and burning, in her would-be palm, as the once-universe slips through her ephemeral fingers. Her most challenging, charming, cherubic creations.

“Oh, come now,” she coos a song that promises peace. “You cannot have expected I would disappear entirely.”

The flame on the right dims, a silvery steel-grey that gleams only at the edges. It broadens as it bridges the gap, its tail a wrought-iron filigree reaching for its pair on the left…

The left bristles, flares and somehow smoulders though there is nothing left to burn. Each electron is shrapnel sharp, ready to skewer the very hand of their creator.

“There you both are,” she smiles with a face neither ever knew but somehow both can remember. “Much better.”

You can find me as GaiasEyes on AO3! I’ve written mostly cannon, but my long fics so far are Human AUs. Most of my Angst does have a happy ending, where the ending is unhappy or ambiguous is tagged.

**My personal favorites. If you're looking for one to read, try one of these.

Human AUs

After 11 hours of work and gallons of tears, I finally finished my Renaissance like painting of Crowley's fall!!

Probably my best artwork for now (pls reblog it~). It was supposed to be a sketch. AH. AH. Anyway, I'm really happy about the result! It feels good to challenge myself with some impossible projects 😈

Btw it's Patreons monthly A5 print! You have until end july to join and get it in your mailbox 😊

If you want a bigger version, it will also be available soon on my shop.

here's a list of things that are still here, that you can access anytime:

the book

the radio adaptation

season 1

season 2 (grab the bits you like and ignore the rest if necessary)

the bits of season 3 you did like (ignoring the rest may feel more difficult here but it is achievable i promise)

all the fanworks that exist already, whether they were created pre-tv adaptation, post-s1, post-s2 or post-s3

all of david and michael's interviews and other promo about the show pre-s3

the fans that are currently active in the fandom

the memories you've made in the fandom

and here's a list of things we can look forward to:

more fanworks/fanwork events, because people are still creating and will continue to do so

getting to know new good omens friends, whether they're new to the fandom or just new to you

in that vein, welcoming new fans to the fandom (it may not seem likely but new people will continue to seek us out!)

the final ineffable con and all the craziness and content that will come from that

people continuing to discover your fanworks, old and new

the moments where you'll start to feel the finale, the show in general and/or the fandom becoming easier to engage with again

FTH 2026 submission for @mizmak

Crowley and Aziraphale were best mates and roommates in uni. They cuddled regularly, but while Az was gay, Crowley was very, very straight so none of it *meant* anything. Or so Crowley tells himself as he gets ready to see Az at Ana & Newt’s wedding nearly 20 years later.

don’t get large numbers of hits on their fics

started writing for go after season 2 came out (or after season 3 came out! hi!)

don’t have a big ao3 subscriber/tumblr following count

write slowly

have unfinished wips up on ao3

don’t often get their fics recced by others

you’re not any less valued for any or all of these things<3 you are important to the fandom! you are appreciated and a necessary, nourishing part of the ecosystem<3
