we are born to die (and we all die to live) by artemisadore, muirgen_lys
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV)
26 Sep 2025

Summary
The dead boy knows he could be confronted with any number of awful things, from demons to sinners to beings beyond his imagination.
What Charles hadn't anticipated seeing was himself.
Or his reflection, anyway. The one he hasn't seen in thirty-odd years, so unfamiliar to him that he nearly jumps at the sight of the soft slope of his mum’s nose, the concentrated furrow of his dad's brow. He recognizes some of the other fragments intrinsically, like the liner-smudged eyes that a pretty girl did up for him at his first concert, and the well-worn, pin-riddled jacket handed down to him from his friend's older brother.
But it's the sum of the parts, the lanky frame holding it all together that gives him pause — makes him lean in for a closer look. The boy in his reflection is just so real, so enticingly, unfairly life-like, that Charles can't help but reach out and touch.
x
Charles encounters a mirror that shows his reflection while on his mission to rescue Edwin from Hell. After realizing he can't travel through it, he moves on.
But what if he was pulled into Despair's realm instead?

Summary
“I wasn’t ready,” he tries, grip tightening when Cheng Xiaoshi tries to take the controller from him. “One more time.”
“Go for it, then, but I hope you're prepared to lose.” Cheng Xiaoshi laughs again, letting the controller go and pressing his forehead to Lu Guang’s shoulder as he shakes, grinning. He’s so warm. Has he always been this touchy?
Could Lu Guang have been making him smile like this in every timeline since the first? Looking hurts his chest. He squeezes the controller a little tighter. “...Everyone needs a few tries to succeed.”
|
Small changes add up. In no timeline before has Cheng Xiaoshi loved Lu Guang, but this one is different.Bookmarked by ForgottenPotato

Summary
When she steps into her new class for the first time, Souko spots Reiko immediately.
There’s nobody else she could be- nobody has ever fitted a name better than the splinter of moonlight sat in the corner of the classroom, with wispy silver hair and bruised shins sticking out the bottom of her school skirt. Reiko stares into the yard with a mild sense of disinterest, her eyes sharp and cat-like and Souko barely hears when she’s asked to introduce herself to the rest of the class.
or; in another universe, souko enrolls in the same school as reiko. somehow, this changes everything.

Summary
She’s never unexpected, but she’s always a surprise. And when Charles meets her, it's nothing like the nightmare he's built up in his own head, being split away from Edwin and cursed to an afterlife without him. She's kind and gentle and familiar, and she gives him a chance to say goodbye to his mother.
Or, the one where Charles meets Death. They have a lot to talk about. But it's okay. They have time.

Summary
Crowley raises one dark eyebrow at him. “You sound as though you’ve got something in mind already, angel.”
His eyes are golden in the sunlight, and his red hair is plaited loosely down his back. It sends Aziraphale back to 1186, to that spring wedding in a sprawling field of eagerly blooming jonquils. He thinks of how beautiful Crowley looked there in all his sunrise colors.
Aziraphale reaches out to touch a rogue curl that escaped the plait. He can feel Crowley holding his breath.
“I suppose I do,” Aziraphale admits quietly.

Salud, Gesundheit, and Blessings Be Upon You, May the Dark Lord Consume You by lucky_spike
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
04 Dec 2019
Tags
Summary
Or: 5 times Aziraphale accidentally blessed Crowley, +1 time when it went really sideways.
Inspired by the Ace Omens Discord server, this is an entirely self-indulgent piece of comedy that I hope someone else will enjoy.
-
After the first incident, Aziraphale is always very, very careful to make sure he knows who he is blessing after a sneeze. He looks around, surveys the scene, and then, only when he is sure that it’s a human or another angel or just not Crawly, does he say ‘Bless you’. Of course, aside from the time on the Ark, it’s never Crawly, and after a while the habit starts to die away. He forgets sometimes, and it’s always fine, until one day he hears a sneeze, automatically blesses the person, and hears a whine.
He does not swear. Instead, he turns around, sheepish, and sees one very annoyed and very seared-looking demon.
“Oh,” he says, over the bustle of the surrounding market.

Summary
"I just wish things were different," Crowley says... and the universe happily obliges.
Stuck - perhaps forever - in a reality in which Shadwell is the first Wiccan MP, Pepper's only aspiration in life is to be a dutiful wife to someone, and his beloved Bentley is a rusty VW bus, Crowley is slowly learning that "different" doesn't necessarily mean better...
But how long can he bear to live* in a world where Aziraphale hates him?
*Not that he has any other option. The Death of this world can't see blood...

Love is an Action Verb by Snarky_Synesthete
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
14 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Aziraphale leaves for Heaven to help with The Second Coming, but not everything Upstairs is as it seems. Crowley runs away from his problems until he is suddenly summoned by a trio of unlikely friends trying to save the world (again). Through misadventures, imprisonments, immortal attempted suicide, lucid dreaming, dealing with teenagers, and an off-putting amount of bebop, an angel and a demon try to find their way back to each other as Heaven and Hell close in around them. (I'm aware that this starts off slow. It starts getting good around chapters 5-6, but the Epilogue might be my favorite part.)

Summary
As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:
--His clothing was expensive and stylish;
--He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
--His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
--He looked angry;
--He was wearing sunglasses.What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

In Mixed Company, or the Corporate Retreat of Heaven and Hell by TheOldAquarian
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
10 Feb 2020
Tags
Summary
Every 300 years, Heaven and Hell share a company retreat on Earth during which angels and demons temporarily surrender their celestial powers.
Officially, it’s a time for fostering team unity and better understanding the needs of the client base. It’s definitely not a time for terrorizing the hotel staff with divine/diabolical showdowns, abusing the ethereal expense account, or furiously snogging your hereditary enemy. But when Aziraphale and Crowley are up for promotion, Hell breaks loose and Heaven might just break free.

Instructions Not Included by Atalan

Summary
"They'll leave us alone. For a bit."
One year after the Apocalypse-That-Wasn't, Crowley and Aziraphale have settled into a new routine: keeping an eye on supernatural happenings in the world and preventing Heaven or Hell from interfering too much with humanity. It's not a bad job - despite occasional rains of fish - and if there are some unspoken things they really ought to talk about, well, they have all the time in the world now to get around to that, right?
At least, until the Archangel Raphael turns up on their doorstep looking for help... and it starts to become clear that the world is changing fast, and so are they.
Or: Crowley and Aziraphale start a detective agency. Shenanigans ensue. Slowburn continues. Apparently, there is plot. I have some thoughts about Heaven, Hell, and humanism. There will be stupid jokes and a healthy sprinkling of angst.

Summary
-
Aziraphale finds himself in a very awkward position as some sort of spell makes everyone merely glancing in his direction instantly fall deeply and desperately in love with him.
Absolutely everyone.
Well, apart from Crowley, that is.
And while both angel and demon search for a solution to this fairly unique problem, Crowley can’t help wondering whether Aziraphale might finally figure out some things he kept hidden for so very long.

Summary
“This is for you,” she says, pushing the vinyl over to Crowley. The demon barely even acknowledges it, his eyes still trained on Maggie and his posture still incredibly stiff. “I wasn’t sure what type of music you’d like, so I took a guess. Anyways. I – well, my nan… she always used to tell me that music was good for me. It was… cathartic. It could help me process and feel all those emotions that I had trouble putting words to. And,” Maggie smiles, “she said there’s no better cure for a broken heart than a good song.”
Or:
Five records Maggie gives to Crowley, plus one she gives to Aziraphale.

Summary
“Dazai…” Chuuya breaks the silence, his voice echoing through the hall. He stands achingly still.
“Come on, Chuuya. Dance with me.”
“What?”
Dazai leans in closer, his half-lidded eyes saying everything and nothing. He whispers close to Chuuya’s ear, “is it absurd for a man to want to dance with his lover?”
Chuuya’s breath stops. The word “lover” pounds through his head like a war gong.
Chuuya has hit, cursed at, held, and fucked Dazai, sometimes all in the same day. He can never define him, but he knows that they are anything but lovers.
AKA an empty dance hall in the Port Mafia headquarters, and a conversation that raises endless possibilities.
