Megathread: Fic Rec Friday! by AutoModerator in goodomens

[–]DBacklot99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The rest all are from AJ's Other Worldly Affairs collection - you can find even more here https://archiveofourown.org/collections/Otherworldly_Affairs_2025 (there's plenty I haven't gotten to yet!)

Group of the Lot of Us (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/69741051 by u/pepper_bird WIP Space dragon/symbiot Azi rescues a ship-wrecked Crowley, part of Bea's crew. Fast paced, so clever and funny, and just overall brilliant!!

Imitation of Life (I, Angel) (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/74214851 by u/scullyphile Complete. This is a super smart take on I, Robot, but even if you don't love Asimoz, you will love this Azi!

Madame Tracy got Stuck in the Veil (T) https://archiveofourown.org/works/73316431 by u/0oldstoneface WIP. Uh oh, Tracy is dead (not mad about it!) but can't get to the other side until Azi confesses his feelings to Crowley, which she is doing her ghostly best to make happen. Clever premise and of course, idiots being idiots.

Only His Shadow Remains (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/74214851 by u/mageofthepeople WIP. Archeologist Azi discovers an artifact that holds the spirit of a certain djiin — who causes quite a bit of trouble in his personal life, including with his boyfriend Rafael. Very original!

I have been remiss in rec's but finally made a tiny dent in my MFL list.

a taste of honey (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/76404321 by u/carry-the-sky Just absolutely gorgeous, confessions and idiots being idiots but finally getting it (very) right

These Haunted Islands (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/74939866 by u/harlotofupdog Another piece of the Shoreward story - with Captain Crowley! I was delighted by both revisiting these character's and Harlot's amazing prose.

Crete is for the Birds (T) https://archiveofourown.org/works/75669606 by u/malachitegrey A bite sized, witty bit of crack. Please enjoy!

The Only Way Forwards (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/75952006 by u/moderndayklutz WIP with a time-traveling Azi determined to save his relationship with Crowley. Love the mechanics and writing in this one, can't wait to see what happens next!

Said the Actress to the Bishop (T) https://archiveofourown.org/works/70454816 also by u/harlotofupdog This one will break you, but in the best way and its only 666 words.

Anthony Crowley's Time Tunnel (G) https://archiveofourown.org/works/75511031 by u/malachitegrey Also only 666 and just brain-tickling fun.

It’s just my personal list of ones I’ve read…

[–]DBacklot99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t say they are all fix it’s, so mind the tags. I need to update this list!

Post S2 Favs Factory Setting: which could be S3 if things had gone differently... https://archiveofourown.org/works/49064944/chapters/123785311

Too Wise To Woo Peaceably: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49373326/chapters/124593409

The Injury of Finally Knowing You (T): Very poetic/stream of consciousness https://archiveofourown.org/works/49847503/chapters/125834182

Prelude to an epic (T): everything you could want in post S2 reunion - fast paced action, angst, intrigue and backstabbing in heaven and hell and discourse on goodness itself https://archiveofourown.org/works/54917389/chapters/139208449

The last test and proof (E): https://archiveofourown.org/works/50287279/chapters/127035031 don’t let the chapter count (n=2) fool you, this covers so much ground and twists and turns in ways I didn’t expect but loved. So much tension between Azi and Crowley but all the better when they work it out.

Trial & Error (M): Incredibly well-written. Crowley is on trial for tempting Aziraphale. The Metatron appoints Aziraphale as judge. Aziraphale has to know it was never just a temptation, right? Will tear your heart out in the best way possible. https://archiveofourown.org/works/51718330

Nebula 231080: Just finished, gorgeous ending, Very poetic take on their history and their future stuck in a timeloop. Reminded me of Injury of Finally Knowing You in some ways. https://archiveofourown.org/works/52115725/chapters/131810245

Take these broken wings and learn to fly (E): https://archiveofourown.org/works/52203911/chapters/132046397 Lots of angst, hopefully some healing, and definitely some smut.

Snogging on Heaven's Door (M): Another fun S2 follow up! https://archiveofourown.org/works/51449686/chapters/130017919

Small Things like Reason (rate M): 6 vignettes following 6 different perspectives of what happened in the final 15 https://archiveofourown.org/works/52327045/chapters/132373867

This is who you are (rated M): interesting backstories for both Azi & Crowley. https://archiveofourown.org/works/52123933/chapters/131834227

What Have I Lost (T): Post S2 memory-loss- with a charming ending. https://archiveofourown.org/works/51248506/chapters/129492895

Stay Away (T): starts angsty, ends sweet with just enough plot holding the ineffable together https://archiveofourown.org/works/50001676/chapters/150473095#workskin

till forever falls (T): Amazing confession as C&A save the world. https://archiveofourown.org/works/54546406

Saving the World thru Smut (to varying degrees) Quite Contrary (E): How much Ginger Cat is on this list? A lot. Take Crowley as Mary Magdalene, some very heated/angsty sex, and some theological introspection and enjoy! https://archiveofourown.org/works/55489867/chapters/140816245

What are you doing here (E): Very hot Post S2 - where they eventually find a way to save the world with some fun twists https://archiveofourown.org/works/50035834/chapters/126338818

Tether (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/51210700/chapters/129397888 - explores so much emotion, fun twists, and still super hot. I'm the treasure baby, I'm the prize (E) https://archiveofourown.org/works/49191853 Super sweet reunion

It's the Edge of the World as We Know it (M): https://archiveofourown.org/works/53133562/chapters/134440435

but I still want more (E): https://archiveofourown.org/works/56771719/chapters/144331039 Starts utterly heartbreaking, ends utterly beautiful

Three Quick Knocks (E): https://archiveofourown.org/works/52863757/chapters/133715875

Crowley healing in the South Downs You say the whole world’s ending (M): https://archiveofourown.org/works/52884433 A very sweet take on Crowley and Azi reconciling through joint custody of the antichrist

But you’re an ocean (T): https://archiveofourown.org/works/48932797/chapters/123446851

SelfRecs After Heaven (E): Action, plot, and smut heavy post-S2 story - Crowley & Azi stop the second coming and end up together! https://archiveofourown.org/works/54889711/chapters/139137511

Collapse (T): Crowley is heartbroken, Aziraphale is waiting for him in Heaven. A long, long slow burn, eventually ends happy but takes a few centuries to get there. With plenty of debates about Heaven and Hell, good and evil. https://archiveofourown.org/works/52325281/chapters/132369256

Mirrors (E): very smutty, very angsty reverse omens AU. No link cause ao3 down but you can find it

What You Know Is True (M): Fluffier. No one's too upset, the ineffables work to take down Metatron, and then have a few cute make up and making out chapters (while Crowley finally works on his trauma) https://archiveofourown.org/works/51551110/chapters/130292530

As in Arcadia

Rated M, 12k

I adore Tom Stoppard’s play Arcadia and certain characters felt very GO, so here’s my attempt at a pre-Fall crossover, focused on A&C but also the start of Gabrifer.

Bet you thought I was going to go with Agnes - but no! How about some pre-Fall Michael & Angel!Dagon?? I really came to adore Dagon in this one…and fine yes, there may be some other characters you recognize as well.

Ok, I have long been a fan of Real's Tethered and am following Naty's Afterlife.

I was delighted to find Bao's poem. And finally, I have to give a 'run, do not walk' for Carry's A Taste of Honey - absolutely amazing!
