As it's Asexual Awareness Week, I had to draw a matching Ace Pride Aziraphale to the Crowley one I posted last week, and then put them together!

Crowley and Aziraphale share a beautiful, queer relationship that can be viewed in many ways, but to me, it's always 100% read as an asexual love story.

Ace representation is still hugely, hugely lacking and I think something I love so much about Good Omens is that it makes a lot of people - who often feel invisible, even sometimes in queer spaces or fandoms - feel seen and heard and accepted 🖤 💜♠️

Original Sin

LUCIFER x (GN ACE) READER

Summary: Lucifer really likes you and so flirts with you constantly. You like him too...just not in the way he thinks

Warnings: I am not asexual so I asked my ace friend for help on this but please let me know(kindly) if I need to change anything in order to more accurately represent the ace community

I can't remember who requested this - so if you did please comment below and I will tag you!

In the bustling streets of Hell, where chaos and debauchery is always afoot, Lucifer Morningstar, the charismatic and mischievous ruler, was a force to be reckoned with. With his devilish charm and striking yet..short presence, he commanded the attention of demons wherever he went. But amidst the chaos, there was one individual who seemed immune to his advances—Y/N. 

Y/N was unlike anyone Lucifer had ever encountered. They possessed a quiet demeanor that intrigued him, a calm amidst the storm of Hell's insanity. Despite his best efforts to charm them with his best sinful lines and flirtatious looks, Y/N remained seemingly unaffected, an imaginary barrier shielding them from Lucifer's flirtatious antics. Y/N's innocence and purity amidst the sea of sinners intrigued Lucifer, and he found himself drawn to them in a way he couldn't quite explain.

Yet, despite their differences, Y/N found themselves drawn to Lucifer in a way they couldn't put their finger on. His wit, his confidence, his undeniable allure—it all fascinated them, even if they didn't fully understand their own feelings. Despite Y/N's  sexuality or lack thereof (which was something they were still coming to terms with), they couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement whenever Lucifer flashed them one of his signature smirks or delivered a smooth line their way. They admired his confidence and charisma from afar, secretly harboring feelings for the devilishly handsome demon.

As days turned into weeks, Lucifer's advances grew bolder, much to Y/N's confusion and internal turmoil. They found themselves torn between their growing romantic affection for Lucifer and their uncertainty about how to navigate their asexuality in a world where desire and passion ran rampant and was ruled by the original sin himself! They enjoyed his company immensely, relishing in the moments they spent together that weren’t full of his attempts. Those quiet moments when he would let down the persona and be the kind, caring, and intelligent fallen angel. But still, Y/N couldn't shake the feeling of discomfort whenever Lucifer's flirtation veered into more intimate territory.

One fateful evening, as Y/N found themselves alone with Lucifer in the opulent lobby of Hazbin Hotel, the demon king seized the opportunity to make his feelings known in the only way he knew how - more flirting. 

"Ah, my dear Y/N," Lucifer purred, his voice dripping with charm as he leaned in closer. "You've been on my mind quite a lot lately.~"

Y/N's heart skipped a beat at the sight of Lucifer's devilish grin, their cheeks flushing with a mixture of excited apprehension. "Oh, um, h-hi Lucifer," they stammered, their voice barely above a whisper.

Sensing Y/N's unease, Lucifer softened his expression, his eyes reflecting real concern as he reached out to gently cup their cheek. "Is something wrong Y/N?  You seem...distant. Oh shit…did I make you uncomfortable?"

Y/N hesitated for a moment, their heart pounding in their chest as they prepared to reveal their truth to Lucifer. Taking a deep breath, they met his gaze, searching for any sign of judgment or rejection. But all they found was genuine curiosity and concern reflected in his eyes. Y/N swallowed hard, their mind racing as they searched for the right words to express themselves. 

"I...I like you, Lucifer," they confessed, their voice trembling slightly. "But...I'm not like everyone else here. I...I don't feel...desire you the same way they do."

A flicker of understanding crossed Lucifer's features as he processed Y/N's words. Despite his reputation as the literal embodiment of sin and temptation, he was no stranger to the complexities of human emotion and nature. 

"Ah, I see," Lucifer murmured, his tone gentle as he brushed a stray lock of hair away from Y/N's face. He lowered his voice to a calm purr as he gave them some space. 

Lucifer's expression softened, a genuine curiosity replacing his usual playful demeanor. "I do believe the term is asexual?" he repeated, his tone gentle as he sought to understand. 

Y/N's eyes widened in surprise, a wave of relief washing over them at Lucifer's understanding. "Y-yes," they whispered, feeling a weight lift off their shoulders as they finally spoke their truth aloud.

With a tender smile, Lucifer reached out to take Y/N's hand in his own, his touch surprisingly comforting despite the fiery aura that surrounded him. "There's nothing wrong with that, my dear," he reassured them. "You're perfect just the way you are."

With a grin and a twirl of his cane, Lucifer plopped down on a lush chair beside Y/N. 

"Tell me more, my dear. I want to understand."

And so, Y/N found themselves explaining their asexuality to Lucifer, revealing the complexities of their identity and the emotions that accompanied it. To their surprise, Lucifer listened attentively and asked questions when appropriate, his curiosity evolving into genuine empathy.

As Y/N poured their heart out to him, Lucifer's admiration for them only grew. In that moment, he realized that their connection transcended mere physical attraction—it was rooted in something deeper, something far more meaningful.

“Thank you for trusting me with this knowledge my dear, I am very grateful you told me! But not onto important matters…what color should your rubber duck shirt be now? Would you like it to be your pride flag? OOooo that would be so FUN!” 

In that moment, Y/N felt a wave of warmth wash over them, their fears and uncertainties melting away in the presence of Lucifer's understanding. And as they gazed into each other's eyes, they knew that their bond was stronger than any fleeting desire—it was built on a foundation of trust, acceptance, and unconditional love. All of Hell did agree, they did make the cutest couple in the end carrying those twinning pride flag rubber ducks around.

My Theory on Asexual Romance

I don't think asexual romance is anything like allosexual romance.

I researched. I read over a dozen asexual romances. I observed aces in relationships. I thought and thought and thought about my own asexual romance and what it looks like in practice.

And this is my theory:

When you take sexual attraction out of a relationship (from one party or both), what you get is something that takes allosexual couples YEARS to cultivate (and there's no guarantee they will). It's comfort and trust and steadiness. It's enjoying each other's soul more than their body. It's the passion of a cozy fireplace instead of a blazing inferno, and it warms instead of burns.

Asexual romance is so beautiful to me. The world looks down on it when they should be learning from it.

Daily excerpt from chapter 41 of The Nascent Diplomat:

'You called it our room,' Gwyn said.  'You've never thought of it that way?' Augus said, snacking on a pressed green vegetable snack which was dried into a kind of leather. Gwyn didn't like its bitterness, but it was Augus' favourite thing to eat, and he was often tearing off strips and idly snacking.  'I thought... I don't know what I thought. This space never felt like it belonged to either of us. And then, for a time, it felt like it belonged to you.' Augus was on the other side of the room, and Gwyn's mouth filled with words, he wanted to ask him to come closer. It was so unlike him. He didn't want to be someone who asked. He was embarrassed to be angry at Augus for not simply knowing, for not coming over. He felt wretched. He felt ugly. Augus could say neediness was a strength, but Gwyn felt like a grub or maggot, something soft and unsightly.  Surely what Oxcillian had done to him made him too broken, too...  'I want to leave,' Gwyn said, his voice raw. 'This place, it is so perfect for the vench, and I think parts of it even suit you, but I'm not suited to never seeing the sky, or feeling the wind. A proper wind. Waiting for my magic to heal is such a burden. I've never hated my magic more. But it's the only companion I've had for such a long time. For nearly all of my life.'

Okay but can we talk about how great asexual representation of Good Omens 2 is?

Throughout this season we have two asexual couples. Beelz-Gabriel and of course Aziraphale-Crowley

We only get a few scenes of the romance between Gabriel and Beelzebub but they are so good at conveying they love each other without getting sexual. The way Gabriel changes the song for Beelz, them giving him the fly and their little touch of fingers. And then when they reunited in the bookshop, it was clear they love each other, their language was very romantic but still not sexual. And they didn't kiss at the end - although kissing is not a sexual thing and many aces (including me) think of it as more romantic, I always find it annoying that the romantic relationship must be "confirmed" by a kiss. As if it was the only definitive way to show your audience the two characters love each other.

As to Aziraphale and Crowley we get to see so many ways in which they care about each other. Crowley being mad at Gabriel mostly because of the way he treated Aziraphale. Lending him his bentley. Being worried about him and saving him constantly. Only taking his glasses off when he is in the bookshop because he trusts Aziraphale. And Aziraphale resting his hand on Crowley's shoulder, inviting him to dance, waiting for Crowley to save him because it makes him happy. And giving up his bookshop for him. And again none of this is sexual.

Also Crowley's kiss at the end wasn't the proof of his love - it was his desperate attempt to stop Aziraphale. It was him finally admitting his feelings openly. But that wasn't the proof.

The proof was every other scene with those two idiots together

It is so beautiful to see an actually asexual romance story. Or two romance stories

I don’t want a bed of roses I want to run through a daisy meadow I don’t want to be kissed breathless I want my hand held in daylight and shadow Friends? Lovers? Does it matter? I won’t deny I feel something That I’m tired of carrying it in silence But I don’t care about the status-quo I care about being honest enough to finally breathe I don’t want a grand declaration Even as my own feelings bottleneck A sodawater bottle jostled one too many times Threatening to fizz up. Fizzle out. I want the bedrock of mutual understanding. And because what I feel will never romantic enough to make someone satisfied Yet too romantic to not feel intense Because I’m asexual. Because I’m demiromantic I have to prioritize friendship Or else keep my distance I don’t know if I want to keep my silence.

“ The students were 80% correct when determining that their pair was not flirting with them, but when it came to actual flirting, most were completely oblivious. Only 36% of men noticed correctly when someone was flirting with them and women a shockingly low 18%. ... The researchers also found out that third-part observers were no better at detecting flirting than the participants themselves. They were 66%  accurate when flirting did not occur and only 38% when it did. “

As someone with flirting blindness, this made me feel so much better lol

I sometimes need this tshirt (though it seems like they aren’t selling it anymore!)

Auz of the Gray

Summery: The Sacred Twenty-Eight was reinstated as the Sacred Twenty-Nine after the last surviving member of the Gray family was discovered to be living in the muggle world. After ten years of being presumed dead, Auspicious "Auz" Gray would be welcomed back into the wizarding world as a fifth year but during his summer tutoring before his first venture to Hogwarts Eleazar Fig discovered the boy had been honing a strange power far beyond what he'd ever seen. Auz had strong interest in the wizarding world, and his aptitude for standard magic was far beyond what Professor Fig had ever seen in a student his age. After discovering the source of Auz's strange magic, little did the Professor know Auz's thirst for knowledge was fed by his craving for power. Will Auz succeed in his goal of taking what he desired? Or will the friends and challenges he'll face along the way change his mind?

I've been trying to write more on Broken Wings. I want to finish it, get it beta'd, get it to sensitivity readers, and get it edited and published. I want this thing to come into the world so badly. Anyway, have some words. Also curious what vibe y'all get from Kai's interaction with Adrian, his boss.

Eirnin smiles tiredly when they see us. They’re doing something I can’t see with the cases.

“Where’s Kai?” Aaron asks.

“You think you’re special because you’re a whore? You’re even stupider of a mutt than I thought! I could care less what you do in your free time, but when you’re supposed to be here, you are mine,” an unfamiliar masculine voice snarls from somewhere I can’t see.

“Oh, screw you! You don’t own me, leech.” That’s Kai’s voice. He sounds livid. I don’t blame him.

“Does that answer your question?” Eirnin asks.

“Lovely. What’s it about this time?”

“Kai needed time off. And he asked Adrian for the rest of the tips Adrian skimmed.”

Aaron’s eyes widen at this.

“Is Kai suicidal? I don’t bring that up because I know Adrian will lose it.”

Kai looks less angry and more like he might cry when he comes up to us.

“I’m gonna go smoke,” he says quietly.

Yk I kinda regret calling it Ace of Hearts. Not that I think it’s a bad name, just that there’s better.

Especially since “Ace of Hearts” is much more suited for alloace
