Good Omens Holiday Exchange

Here it is, folks - the big list of Thems Who Did What.

Now that's all on the up-and-up, you can publicly thank your betas and your gift-givers (by name), kiss your screaming fans, and repost wherever you like (Good Omens Library/Gallery, Skyehawke, relevant coms, etc.) This community will still be around as an archive, and tonight we'll go through all the posts and add the names.

Once again, a million thanks to everyone involved, a thousand times! I personally, in particular, would like to thank waxbean for doing all the startup work as well as being stalwart all through the process, being a fantastic person to work with, and beta'ing my fics!

The end comes indeed. The final story--and it's a wonderful one--at the 2005 Good Omens Holiday Exchange is for all of you...everyone who wrote, drew, read, beta'd, looked, commented, rec'd, and enjoyed. Thank you all immeasurably! It's been a joy.

Happy Holidays, gabbysun, from your Secret Artist!

And the eager unwrapping continues. Huh. How about that? It’s starting to look to me like this fandom has one pairing that’s really obviously the most popular. You learn something new every day, I tell you!

Art:

Untitled. A very warm kiss in a very cute style. (Aziraphale/Crowley, PG) For myotismon13.

Untitled (“It has Christmas lights!”). Another kiss, a very different warm style and mood. (Aziraphale/Crowley, PG-13). For altazar.

Autumn Snakery, a colorful day in the park, with a little sssomething ssspecial. (Aziraphale and Crowley, G). For alicorn9


Fic:

To Fix Broken Wings, a tender tale of pain, nurturance, flight, and delayed gratification. (A/C, PG-13). Gift for ineffable_angel.

Compromising Positions, a campy and kinky comedy in which Saturnalia observances in Rome get out of hand for two beings in particular; no, this one can’t be blamed on the crazy Emperor. (A/C, NC-17). Gift for madsciencechick.

And He Could Do Really Weird Things With His Tongue, in which a plan to take Crowley back to Hell for punishment goes hilariously awry. (C/A, Michael/Raphael, Lucifer/Beelzebub, Hastur; R). Gift for lady_oneiros

A Little Holiday. Aziraphale takes one. Crowley tags along and thinks himself quite devious—but perhaps there is a scheme at work that goes deeper than his own. (A/C, NC-17). Gift for stella_polaris.

Untitled. Those ranting homophobes can get to anybody, even an angel. Fortunately he has a clever serpent to talk him down from it. (A/C, PG). Gift for a_stone_ginger.

Upon a Midnight Clear. Even the Kama Sutra isn’t much help when it comes to wings in the way. Very funny and sexy fic. (A/C, R) Gift for moonytoes.

It’s the Happiest Season of All. Another funny and sexy tale of good lovin’ gone weird—in which Aziraphale pulls a most surprising stunt (to himself as well). (A/C, alludes to War/Pepper and Adam/Brian/Wensleydale, NC-17). Gift for hllangel.

A Gift to One Another. In which it turns out that what Aziraphale wants for his I’m Sorry present from Crowley is something Crowley doesn’t mind giving one little bit. (A/C, NC-17). Gift for musegaarid.

When In Greece, in which an embarrassing moment from long ago lives on…and on…and on. But is that such a bad thing? (A/C, PG-13). Gift for janicechess.

Illustrated Fic:

And Snowpeople. This beautifully characterized and wonderfully written story about a magical Christmas (and Hanukkah) with the Them in Lower Tadfield comes with a very pretty holiday-card-worthy painting. (The Them and Dog, G). Gift for kaliscoo.


Huge thanks to all our participants--great job! More to come.
