it’s so weird seeing michael sheen everywhere cos he comes from the next town over from me, I’ll mention him and guaranteed someone will go “oh yeah I saw him last week” everyone and their mum has seen him (apparently he is very nice)
I have only one criticism for the Good Omens adaptation and it is that Crowley does not hiss even once while speaking
Title: A Love That Feels Like Coming Home
(Rating: G, Crowley/Aziraphale)
Summary: There is a single black feather on Aziraphale’s bedside table.

There is a single black feather on Aziraphale’s bedside table.
No-one knows about it. No-one knows about the bedside table, for that matter, or the bed, or the room itself. It’s above the shop, locked away in a fold of spacetime - a neat bit of miracle-working if he says so himself. A fine and private place.
He sits there now on Egyptian cotton sheets with the feather in his hand. It’s very soft and very black. No sheen of green or blue; no sheen at all. Completely matte, it is like a slash cut in the fabric of the world. Looking at it is slightly disturbing; fitting, since it’s a demon feather.
Crowley’s, of course. Not stolen - Aziraphale, in his darker moments, had thought about it - but given freely. They’d both been drunk, and were both Not Talking about what happened before the Fall. It happens sometimes. They’ll look at each other - look at each other, in a way that would mean nothing to anyone but them. But to them, it means I remember and I miss you and It’s not fair, it was never fair. They don’t speak, of course; they don’t do anything except drink until the melancholy passes.
But on that night, Crowley had opened his mouth and Aziraphale had been terrified - elated - at the thought that he might say something. He hadn’t. He’d sighed instead, and shaken his head before unfurling his wings and plucking free a single feather. He had offered it to Aziraphale wordlessly, and after a very long moment, Aziraphale had taken it.
Everything I see about Good Omens is all “Neil Gaiman this, Neil Gaiman that.” The book was written by two people. Terry Pratchett (mayherestinpeace) deserves some acknowledgment.
Good Omens is
Great
as per usual I can’t decide on which version to post, so why not all of them?
