First, a couple Mod announcements:

1. If you plan to post to AO3 after the Reveal, we've set up a Collection (2024 Good Omens Holiday Exchange) in which you can include your work if you choose. Creators will be free to post their creations in any forum after the Reveal on 11 Jan.

2. After the Reveal, we encourage each creator to monitor their gift for new comments on Dreamwidth through the month of January.

3. Please subscribe to our blog either here or on tumblr to keep up with announcements on the Good Omens Exchange. Or we are available at goodomens dot exchange @ gmail dot com.

Now's your chance to let the mods know how you felt about this year's Exchange! We're open to suggestions for improvements and also to know what we've done right! Feel free to respond to this post via anon, Secret_Kraken, or your own url.

It has been a pleasure working with all of you! We sincerely appreciate your participation in the Exchange!

The Matching Game! 2024 Edition

2025-01-09T10:31:46Z

Posted by: goe_mod

Click the link for some fun!

The Mods were pleased to welcome back our past Exchangelings to the GOE this year, and many new people! Our 42 different participants presented 44 gifts of love created for the fandom. We would like to thank all the creators, their betas, and everyone who takes the time to enjoy the gifts and post comments for our talented group of artists and writers! It takes a lot of people to make this a successful and fun Exchange.

Have you figured out our ulterior motive for these two delaying posts before the Reveal? 😉 It's so that gifts posted at the end of the Exchange have a chance for views and comments before the Reveal! Also, we encourage Creators to check back on their gifts for comments — the Secret Kraken hasn't been lurking as much as usual this year! See your gift post notification email for information on how to respond as Secret Kraken. 🐙

Tomorrow, we’ll post an opportunity for you to provide feedback to the Mods.

With sincere thanks,
Vulgarweed and Lunasong365

Now for the matching game! A link is provided to the prompt sets so you can see which prompt the creators were working with. Feel free to play this game in any manner you wish. The Great Reveal will occur on Saturday, 11-Jan.

Title: The Engagement Scheme
Rating: Mature
Summary:
“You better have a really good explanation for this,” Gabriel crossed his arms. “This looks a lot like corporate espionage to me.”

Before Aziraphale could take a moment to think through the pros and cons of shutting his mouth, he found himself already saying the first believable lie that came to his mind.

“It is not. We’re on a lunch date,” Aziraphale said, reaching out to take Crowley’s hand in his. “I didn’t know how to tell you. We’re engaged to be married.”

Title: The Good Omens Place

Summary: Anathema finds that she has died. But good news! She’s made it to the Good Place! And everything is exactly as it seems! At least, that’s what the architect of the neighborhood, AJ, wants her to believe. Something between a crossover and an au of Good Omens and The Good Place, mostly GO characters.
Recipient: Ladylier
Rating: G
Pairings: Newt/Anathema, Aziraphale/Crowley, Shadwell/Madame Tracy
Warnings: None really, character death but that’s kind of the point of The Good Place, they’re fine lol
Author’s note to ladylier: Well, my friend, YOU actually came up with this title a long time ago when we talked about this very idea, and I’m happy to finally have written it. That may be a hint for who your secret author is, but I have to give you credit! Happy holidays! <3

Title: Hangover Management
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Recipient: Bree
Notes: Happy Holidays! This is more of a New Year’s story than a Christmas one, and it is very, very book-based, right down to the year turnover being depicted (1990 to 1991).
Summary: Crowley letting Aziraphale festoon his home entertainment system as part of his holiday decorating this year had been an even bigger mistake than agreeing to attend Hell’s office party. There was no earthly call for tinsel. It wasn’t that Crowley couldn’t do his own holiday decorating. It was just that he’d done it loads of times, all of which had been bland, prefabricated disasters by the angel’s homey standards.

Title: Convincing Arguments
Rating: Explicit
Summary: Crowley had never been one to resist a challenge when one was presented to her, so she had decided to enrol in a basic course on English literature to prove Anathema wrong. It was her own pettiness that kept her glued to the seat when the professor walked in front of the class. White coat, a worn-out waistcoat, beige trousers, and an angelic smile. Crowley had spent several nights fantasizing about that smile and here he was, explaining the curriculum of the course in a competent and professional manner.

Happy Holidays, sonnet23!

2024-12-23T10:35:29Z

Posted by: goe_mod

TITLE: play our song (to see if it’s in tune)

RECIPIENT: sonnet23
RATING: M
WARNINGS: language, non-graphic descriptions of injury, mentions of war and plague, extreme weather, imprisonment
PAIRINGS Aziraphale/Crowley
SUMMARY:
Aziraphale bursts out, “what do you need me to do? I’ve already admitted that you were right. And that I was wrong. Do you need me to — shall I do a little dance for you?”
That, at least, gets Crowley to open his eyes, a curious eyebrow hiking up into his forehead.
What on Earth would a dance even do?
Besides, everyone knows that angels don’t dance.
Aziraphale seems to take that as encouragement, though, and quickly pushes himself to his feet.

Five times that Aziraphale did the I Was Wrong dance, and one time that Crowley stopped him.

Title: Unexplained Ethereal Phenomena

Recipient: Heretic1103
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None apply
Pairings: Aziraphale/Crowley (TV), Mulder/Scully
Summary: When Crowley shows Aziraphale around middle America in the late 1990s, much pining and shenanigans ensue. They get mixed up in what Mulder thinks is an X-File while Scully suspects the truth about these supernatural beings.

Author’s note: Thank you to my giftee for your prompts, which led to very fun things, including my first time writing MSR. Turns out these two pairs of pining walnuts have a lot in common and make great foils for each other. Eternal gratitude to my partner, who is an excellent brainstormer of silly ideas and a dedicated beta reader. (Caveats: because they’re in America, I went with American spelling. Also, my apologies to any actual people who lived in these towns in the ‘90s, I just used them as my fictional playground.)

Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: Explicit
Notes: Many thanks to Orciny for the beta job.
Summary: It’d be easy to free Crowley if only he’d admit to his desires, but of course he would have to be difficult. Aziraphale may have to be quite firm with him.

Featuring demon summoning, smut, and improper use of an Airbnb.
