July recs

[spatz]

Mostly Good Omens again this month, with one lone rec for The Goblin Emperor!

Aught That Can Be Named by phoenixflight (The Goblin Emperor, Csethiro/Maia, Csevet/Maia)

Maia really didn’t mean to say someone else’s name in bed with his wife.

An excellent extrapolation from the idea that Csethiro definitely, definitely owns a strap-on. The ‘accidental confession’ trope isn’t one that usually works for me, due to secondhand embarrassment issues, but this one was played perfectly. And hotly.

Mr. Fell Attempts to Buy a Book from Mr. Bennet by @amarguerite

Mrs. Bennet attempts to husband hunt. Aziraphale attempts to buy a book. No one gets what they want.

*dies laughing*

You, Soft and Only by thehoyden

He hadn’t expected a sudden lapful of angel.

“Very sorry about this,” Aziraphale said, and kissed him.

An exceedingly fine specimen of Crowley/Aziraphale fake-out makeouts over the millenia, with that distinct mix of totally-married-yet-pining-terribly that I love about this pairing.

ask and ye shall receive by ariaste

Smite me, Crowley thinks one day, about three or four days into the Beginning of the World. He feels rather daring about it, especially when God doesn’t answer. Puts a bit of a swagger in his slither.

God’s sense of humor is terrible, but on the other hand I adore terrible puns and Crowley suffering, so.

The Soho Bookshop Job by Poetry (Good Omens/Leverage)

Crowley asks Leverage to stop the shady corporation trying to buy out Aziraphale’s bookshop. He gets rather more than he bargained for.

SO much fun tossing the Leverage team into this universe, with some fun speculation about the fallout from the not-pocalypse.

His Banner Over Me by pineapplecrushface

Three of Aziraphale’s excellent ideas, and how Crowley (very casually) obliges him, as a friend does.

Some choice goddamn Crowley pining.

VIDS

Hallelujah by purplefringe

I have watched this so many times already, cannot recommend highly enough! It’s not the only one going around to this specific cover of the song, so I almost skipped watching it due to thinking I’d seen it before, but I love the way purplefringe constructed the vid around the duet, and just such good editing in general.

Out of the Woods by such_heights

Ugh, their faces. *chinhands*
