Fanart Advent Calendar: Day 10
For Petrichor & Parchment, by MrsNoggin. A very sweet, lovely story about Aziraphale moving to the countryside and meeting a handsome gardener.
This piece is part of a personal challenge: an advent calendar that will feature one fanart a day for some of my favorite fics, from the 1st of December to the 24th. Once again, the week-end allowed me to spend a little bit more time for this cute illustration. Happy Sunday!

Good Omens Fic Rec: Petrichor & Parchment
“Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

*Minor Spoilers* There are some fics that I can only describe as decadent. I can't wax poetic about it, it's just the phrase that I instantly associate with a story like this. This is a book restorer/gardener au. Aziraphale has just moved out to the country and hires Crowley to tame his new garden. They are both beautifully passionate about what they do, which turns out to be the exact same. They are both restorers. Not fixing, “It’s not fixing. They don’t need fixing. They need a bit of care and attention. Some delicate surgery and healing. Someone to care for them, revive them, rebuild them, reassure them. Put them back together and help them stay that way.” Aziraphale with his books, and Crowley with the neglected garden. And of course you know how else they can use those inherent traits of nurturing and compassion.
I love Aziraphale in this. He's not written silly or overly self conscious. He has insecurities and doubts of course, but he's confident in who he is and more importantly he loves who he is. He doesn't make excuses for his passion. The scene with the town vicar was a particular stand out for me. We don't know too much about Crowley. This story is more about what's happening in the now, not much backstory. But there are plenty of clues and a small explanation from Crowley that let's us piece together a lot of the story ourselves. The beauty of fanfiction is we're all so intimately aware of these characters it's effortless to read their body language and subtle clues. This story utilizes that well. Allowing us to fill in the gaps because it trusts us to pick up on those details. Crowley here is slightly shy and quieter than some authors write him. Well, okay amendment, he's shy and quiet OUTSIDE the bedroom. But it's an excellent take that really understands the core of who he is. Love that there is some miscommunication and insecurities in their new relationship but stays realistic and grounded. They're not going to run away from each other, they're going to stay and figure it out together.
This story is just so lush and beautiful. I want to live in it. It made my heart race with tension, and burn with the romance of it all. This is at home reading. There are a couple of explicit sex scenes, so don't be reading this one where someone could be peaking over your shoulder. Unless you're into that sort of thing I guess!

I need to post this because this exchange about what happens when Crowley gives in and snaps Aziraphale’s braces is gold.

Another Good Omens AU fanart I started a while back.
This one is based on my favourite GO fanfic called Petrichor & Parchment by Mrs Noggin.
I loved the writing and the story, just wish there was more ♥️
It’s Gardner Crowley and Book Restorer Aziraphale. And yes, Crowley had a flower sleeve cause I’m a sucker for botanical tattoos 😎

Hello! Thank you. Thank you so much. You can not know how much it means to me to hear this. It feels so long since I wrote that fic, and it came pretty much straight from my heart, so to know people still read it and still think about it feeds my soul.
I hope you’re having a great day!

Hello, I have lost a fic! Hopefully you can help me! Fortunately I remember it really well (bc i love it so much).
So, its human au, crowley is a gardener and aziraphale restores books. Aziraphale has just moved to the countryside from london to get away from the city and his back garden is in a really terrible state so anathema recommends crowley to him, with the warning that hes incredibly rude but makes up for it cos hes so good at his job. So aziraphale hires him and he is rude at first but then they start having lunch together and texting and hes not so rude to him anymore. Also pepper and adam work for him (and are sort of scared of him) and show up sometimes when crowley cant be there and one time when this happens, crowley writes down instructions which include "be nice to him, he's my friend" and "he'll try to feed you, do not eat all his food" which aziraphale sees and it is so so so cute. Its also rated E and they almost get together but crowley thinks aziraphale just want like a "fling with the gardener" and he wants more than that so he stops it and theres like some angst for awhile until they figure out they both want a relationship.
I really appreciate your help!!!

Ok listen, I just like the idea of Crowley being comfortable around Aziraphale's true form. Like he just sitting there talking about something while Aziraphale WATCHES him with all those eyes, replacing all the air in the bookshop with himself. Just a normal evening.

A bride recently asked me to make her a necklace for her wedding that looked like a fancy throat slash. This was a really fun project.
