Time for another good omens fanfic roundup! Feb was a huge month for fics, in part because several stories that I’ve been reading for ages have now wrapped up.

First: in the house we remain by commodorecliche. This is a love story between a man and a ghost, spanning decades before the two can be together on the same plane of existence. The author did a phenomenal job of translating the 6k+ years of pining between Aziraphale and Crowley into a human-centric span of loneliness. One of my favorites of the year so far.

Second: Exactly Like We Were by demonsandpieohmy. College reunion, former not-friends take a liking to each other. Shenanigans ensue. Cute story.

Third: All the Pieces of You by Create_Serenity. A through-the-ages fic where morality, companionship, and loneliness are explored through human appetites. Now a series that I’m looking forward to reading as it releases.

Fourth: You’re the Bad Guys by Nebz_AlphaCentauri. Cold War fic from 1981, British vs USSR intelligence agencies. The author of this one did so much research and her writing is meticulous! Absolutely incredible story, one of my favorites of the year (and last year, for that matter – been reading this for a while!), and I’m not generally a historical fiction person!

Fifth: Richfront Valley by CaptainBlou. A story of trauma and internalized homophobia, of cheating and divorce. Apparently this was originally a PWP fic that developed a much deeper plot. I enjoyed about 75% of it, though sometimes the PWP parts were a bit not-for-me.

Sixth: Stray Souls by Raxacoricofallapatoriusrulez. Cat omens!! Az and Crowley are cats, one a pampered pet, one a stray. They form a bond that then is tested when they end up in a shelter. Absolutely heartbreaking in places, and very sweet in others.

Seventh: Among the Stacks by MeinirRhos. This was a fascinating story of single-sided memory loss. What do you do if you have a shared history with someone – a shared history that would be literally unbelievable to a normal person because it involves angels and demons – and you are growing close to that person in their new incarnation? It reminds me of a story I read last year that was the other way around, dealing with reincarnation and memory loss, rather than just memory loss. That was one of my favorites of 2024. This one definitely has potential to become a favorite.
