CoT 'Verse has more new content and is now on AO3!
COMPLETE DIRECTORY OF GOOD OMENS FIC
Good Omens: Crown of Thorns 'Verse Directory
Good Omens: Crown of Stars 'Verse Directory
NOTE: I've temporarily taken down the alphabetical-by-fandom individual story listings, as they were both badly out-of-date and also in sore need of reordering. I have no idea if there's a more efficient way of doing it than I have previously, but I've been kicked into a strange sort of organizational mode by all of the ongoing grief. Call it some kind of twisted coping mechanism. In the meantime, if there's something you can't find, leave a comment for me here, and I will retrieve the link for you! |

| More Gatsby Fic: Naming Things (Nick/Jay, NC-17) |
[May. 21st, 2013|11:42 am]
|
Title: Naming Things
Fandom: The Great Gatsby (both novel and film)
Pairing: Nick Carraway/Jay Gatsby
Rating: NC-17, not terribly evasive this time, either.
Notes: Follow-up/inset moments for The Pursued and the Pursuing. The first scene is the morning after the first encounter, and the subsequent scenes are clearly labeled as to how they correspond to things referenced in the narrative of the first story. Enough people asked for a more detailed unfolding of events; I'm happy to oblige.
Summary: A progression of four places, four acts, and four conversations.

| Fic: The Pursued and the Pursuing (Nick/Gatsby, R) |
[May. 17th, 2013|10:25 am]
|
Title: The Pursued and the Pursuing
Fandom: The Great Gatsby (the novel, but effectively the film, too)
Pairing & Characters: Nick Carraway/Jay Gatsby, Others
Rating: Very definitely R, perhaps evasively NC-17.
Warning: Period racial and sexual slurs, alas.
Notes: In spite of the fact that not a single character in it is fully admirable, I've loved this novel for a long, long time, and I suppose the film coming out finally gave me a good excuse to do something more productive than marvel at Fitzgerald's prose on rereading. You all know I've got a thing for meddling with endings, especially sad ones (to varying degrees of success, I'm certain), and this particular tragic ending has been waiting since my sophomore year of high school. That's a long time for a pair of characters to knock around in my head and in my heart; whether they'll speak as clearly on the page for me as they do in those places is another matter.
Summary: The past is both behind us and ahead of us, patiently looming

| New CoT: Not My Division (Aziraphale/Crowley, Others) |
[May. 12th, 2013|05:32 pm]
|
Title: Not My Division
Pairings & Characters: Aziraphale/Crowley, Dagon, Sophia, Others
Rating: R (partly for tough conversations, partly for kind-of-smut)
Word Count: 4,000
Notes: This is CoT #29 (LJ reckoning) / #34 (AO3 reckoning), a Coda of sorts to the most recent full-length story ("Always the Bridesmaid"). An overwhelming number of you wanted a conversation between Crowley and Dagon about as badly as I did (but couldn't seem to fit it into the main piece), so that's what these interim pieces are for. All that I know about the next major story is that it's the road-trip holiday referenced recently in Aziraphale's thoughts; I'm keeping the geographic area they'll be driving well under wraps. In the meantime, have these few moments of revelatory surprise.
Summary: What good is history if you can't learn from it?

| New CoT: Always the Bridesmaid, Part 3 (COMPLETED) |
[Apr. 19th, 2013|07:15 pm]
|
Title: Always the Bridesmaid (Part 3 / 3; here's Part 1 & Part 2.)
Pairings & Characters: Aziraphale/Crowley, Adam/Sophia, Mandy/Iván, Raphael/Uriel, Pippa & Robert, Shadwell/Tracy (they do show up in this story), Anathema/Newt (Newt has not only had screen-time, but is also chewing the scenery), Janet & Natalie (the twins), Dagon/Tanith, Hastur/Ligur (we might just have lift-off)
Rating: NC-17 (across all three parts)
Word Count: 27,000 (across all three parts)
Notes: This full-length story is CoT 'Verse #28 (#31 - #33 by AO3 version chapter-reckoning). The wedding in this story is undoubtedly the most keenly awaited since Adam and Sophia tied the knot, so let's get on with it.
Summary: Sometimes the best plans of all are plans left (mostly) unmade.

Rating: NC-17 (for this installment definitely, and probably the rest)
Word Count: 16,000 so far (8,000 on the first part; 8,000 on this part)
Notes: This full-length story is CoT 'Verse #28 (#31 by AO3 version chapter-reckoning). The wedding in this story is undoubtedly the most keenly awaited since Adam and Sophia tied the knot, so, as per Pippa's constant urging, let's get on with it.

| More CoT [Intermission - #27]: Holika, Twice-Burned |
[Mar. 19th, 2013|06:46 pm]
|
Title: Holika, Twice-Burned
Characters & Pairings: Adam and Uriel; reference to several pairings
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This Intermission [Extra] is CoT 'Verse #27 and deals with the major obvious thread left hanging in As Above, So Below (#26). The title is a reference to one of the major players in the piece of Indian folklore underlying the festival attended by Aziraphale and Crowley in Delayed Reaction (#9). No tale turns up without reason, and this is no exception: it also deals with some interesting metaphysics reaching as far back as Some Assembly Required (#14). If you had questions, here be answers.
Summary: Uriel understands the risk she's taking; precedent may be on her side.

| CoT #26, Cont'd: As Above, So Below (Part 2 / 3) |
[Mar. 1st, 2013|12:29 am]
|
Title: As Above, So Below (Part 2 / 3; Part 1 is here.)
Pairings & Characters: Aziraphale/Crowley, Adam/Sophia, Mandy/Iván, Raphael/Uriel, Pippa & Robert (the cute grandson), Anathema/Newt, Janet & Natalie (the twins), Gabriel, Dagon, Ligur, plus a chorus of ducklings, a mouse, local yokels, and just about everything else you've come to expect of this rapidly expanding universe; to say Ensemble Cast this time around wouldn't be inclusive enough!
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 7,000 for this part (9,000 for Part 1; 16,000 total so far)
Warnings: There's an issue in here that some people may find difficult to deal with, and it's to do with Sophia and an incredibly difficult decision she's got to make. Tread carefully (and not on Crowley, please; he's got a hard enough time of it in this story as it is, and that is also worthy of a warning). As always, I'm asking you to trust me.
Notes: This full-length story is CoT 'Verse #26 and follows the latest two intsallments, Technical Difficulties (#23) & And Pardon'd the Deceiver (#24), which were the gifts I wrote in this year's go_exchange; the title is a reference back to something Adam said in the final scene of Until Death, which is probably the most crucial past piece you need to keep fresh in your memory with respect to this one (granted, keeping the opening scene of Some Assembly Required is also essential). Preferably, though, you'll have read everything leading up to this point, as where I previously thought that Some Assembly Required and Breathe would be the most emotionally trying climaxes this series would ever see, I was wrong. Before the next spring wedding, there's a tempest that they all need to weather.
Summary: As you from crimes would pardoned be, / let your indulgence set me free.
