#GOBB 2019

[mutalune]

Happy Fanfic Writer Friday! What is a fic you've posted that you think deserves more attention? What is it about?

thank you for this ask and sorry for taking literal years to respond!!!! ✨✨✨

pick a direction and walk - this was my 2019 GOBB big bang fic and it was so so so meaningful to me, it really reflected a lot of my “I’m in my early 20’s, I’m lost, I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know what to do about not knowing, I don’t know what my purpose is, I don’t know how to find that purpose, everything feels big and overwhelming and I’m so so so lost 😞” problems at the time, and yet the story ended happily and hopefully and with a “it’s okay to just be you” kinda vibe. I was so proud of this and I’m still so proud of it even almost exactly 4 years later, and it continues to be my least-liked fic 🤷🏻

basically: Crowley and aziraphale gotta figure out wtf they’re gonna do post-apocalypse while also dealing with 1) Aziraphale’s acting WEIRD he’s wearing MODERN CLOTHES 2) Crowley’s miracles aren’t working but he’s in denial it’s fine and 3) Dagon and Michael showing up and Asking Questions that they don’t know how to answer. And they’re all gay of course

#starlight personal #starlight fandom #starlight asks #good omens #good omens fic #the go big bang 2019 was a different era ngl I was not my best self at that time #but is that not what early 20s are about? figuring yourself out and being a bit messy and insecure about it? #honestly this is still one of the fics I wrote that I strongly believe is my best writing #and for me to feel that way even years down the line??? that’s so rare for me #and this is my fic with the least kudos! the least amount of attention! it goes to show that you never know what folks will like #tmagr was arguably some of my laziest writing; I barely edited ever and I had no Deeper Meaning outside of Aizawa Traumatized and Must Ask #for Help and We Will Force Him To Stop Being Independent to the Point of Self Destruction #and yet that blew up and has so many ppl who loved it #meanwhile I put my heart and soul into a blender and used it to paint for padaw and I remember being so devastated in 2020 when it #didn’t get much praise/attention; now that I’ve grown some I get it and I’m not mad-upset; mostly just bemused lol #kind of a nice growing moment for me to be here rn and just be proud of this fic even without it getting a ton of attention #I like it a lot and that’s what’s important - writing it was good for me and that’s enough :)

It should have been terrifying, painful, any number of other frightening things – a demon being held by a cherub – but the only thing Crowley really felt beyond the pain and oppression of the room was… love.

As part of the @goodomensbigbang​, I paired up with Katling and had the wonderful opportunity to draw art for her fic, Angel On The Outward Side. This fic is absolutely amazing and you should definitely go read it!

For every grain of the Sands of Time there is a story, a moment or an eternity contained within it. Immortality, functional or otherwise, is an interesting sort of thing - gaining weights filled with this sand and never shedding it to age properly. But what happens when it falls from one, especially amongst the Desert of Time with its rolling dunes? For each of the sands that fall, like grains in an hourglass, another story and moment passes. Crowley-centric look through time, told in snapshots of times not covered in the show and book. - More of a March than a Saunter or Fall

 I had the privilege of working on @d20owlbear​​‘s beautiful good omens bang - More of a March than a Saunter or Fall. It is so incredibly poignant with an amazing story that captures the life of Crowley and all the moments in between. THE WRITING IS ALSO GORGEOUS so y’all should check it out and weep with me. (: I drew a cover for this bang as well as the associated headers featuring scenes from the fic under the read more!

Cosmos and universes were illumed with riotous colors and filled with heavenly lights, and it remained under the stillness of depths. Here were the first forms were made, in this womb of light and water.

His eyes opened, his chest heaved with breath he didn’t need, his heart beat to push fire through his body of pain, and a hand helped him up out of the burning blue pools of sulfur, pulled him as if he were nothing more than a minnow on a deep-sea line.

The angel in question looked up towards the sky, feather black as soot in his hand, precariously pinched between two fingers and nearly cradled against his chest, a juxtaposition of opposites that left Crawly poleaxed and entirely unsure what to make of it.

But the scroll was tied up in red cloth, painted with black and speckled with colors, which had hardened and cracked and yellowed over the years, nestled in the crook of an old tree, miraculously exactly at Crowley’s eye-height, kept safe somehow otherwise. 

Absent-mindedly he patted the car, “Looks like they cared nearly as much for you as they did for me.” He drawled, biting and sarcastic. He had nothing else to take his foul mood out on, so it might as well be the car that had been meant to take him to his current residence in Germany but had spectacularly failed.

As Above, so below, and Crowley tripped over nothing in St. James park, directly into Aziraphale’s arms, who smiled so kindly that Crowley’s quicksilver tongue couldn’t make up any excuses to seem cool. 

“Looks like I really do sweep you off your feet, my dear.” Aziraphale beamed, pleased with himself, and the feel of his demon in his arms.

My pieces for @theoldaquarian’s wonderful fic In Mixed Company, for @goodomensbigbang! Working on these panels and getting to read the fic and see @mendacity17’s excellent graphic design work ahead of time was a delight, and I cannot recommend it enough!! (please click to enlarge for quality,)

Excerpt:

An ancient amplifier crackled, then an AC/DC song blared from the front of the room as Crowley sauntered to the podium. He was carrying a clicker and an uncertain smile. A projector screen unscrolled from above, bringing with it several moldering clumps of ceiling. Crowley made a motion to someone in the next room to cut the music, then he pulled out an index card, frowned at it, and shuffled to get a different index card in front.

“Right, er, welcome to Hell.” Crowley clicked once and a slide appeared with WELCOME TO HELL surrounded by multiple low-resolution clip art images of flames.

Someone raised a hand. Crowley nodded.

‘Is this supposed to be a joke?”

“Er, if you wouldn’t mind, let’s hold questions until the end of the presentation,” Crowley said, smoothing the frayed edge of his jacket like he wished he could do to the frayed edge of his nerves. He glanced at the slide. “Right, just to be clear, I’m not the graphic designer.”

Summary:

It’s just to ensure Crowley’s doing it correctly, Aziraphale tells himself at first. To make sure he’s getting the miracles right. But when Aziraphale hides and watches Crowley perform his first miracle since his fall, Aziraphale finds instead that Crowley--oh, he was made for this. The love that brims from him when he is allowed at last to heal, to help, to save. A demon shouldn’t love performing Heaven’s work like this, should he? What else, then, is a lie? (Don’t ask questions.) Aziraphale can’t stop watching, through the centuries. Presently, Crowley catches him, and many, many truths come to light.

Summary:

I'll be your mirror; reflect what you are, in case you don't know.

Crowley drummed his fingers briefly against his mug, and then sat back a little in his chair. He gave Aziraphale a long, appraising glance, and then seemed to come to some decision. “Listen, angel,” he said, “let me pitch you something.”

Lulled by the familiar patter of Crowley’s voice as he was, Aziraphale still recognised this to be vaguely dangerous territory. He swallowed. “Go on,” he said.

I’m so lucky to have worked with @domduongart​ as such a stunning artist for this story, and I’m so grateful for dedicated, patient support from @laurashapiro-noreally, @itsmapes and @johnnyvod in getting it written. Be free, big bang fic! And I promise myself I will never attempt to tell a story backwards again.

“Yes. I was thinking,” and Crowley lifted Aziraphale’s hands, depositing a kiss on each, “that we might skip trying to cook dessert.”

“Bake dessert,” Aziraphale corrected.

“What?”

Aziraphale weighed whether or not to delve into the differences between cooking and baking, but decided against it when Crowley planted another kiss on one of his knuckles. “Never mind. So, what do you have in mind? I’ve heard they’ve got some new things at Élan.”

“I thought we might skip dessert altogether.”

“Oh?” Aziraphale began to protest, but then Crowley pulled him closer, one hand coming to rest at the small of his back. “Oh!”

Aziraphale did not miss not having dessert that evening.

Artist commentary under the cut!

Second to last illustration for the Big Bang. Worked through the night to complete this in time for the chapter’s publishing in about 1.5 hours! It’s been ages since I did a proper all nighter, and I’m just about ready to conk out for the next 12 hours, haha

This composition was inspired by a film study of a scene in Cape Fear. I had a class back in college where I did traditional ink studies of various film noirs–who knew that almost half a decade later they’d be of use once more! The way that camera angle was used in the source material was decidedly more sinister, but I really liked the peeking-over-the shoulder concept so I repurposed it to be a slightly cuter context!
