Good Omens Holiday Exchange

First, a couple Mod announcements:




1. If you plan to post to AO3 after the Reveal, we've set up a Collection (Good Omens Holiday Exchange 2022) 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 7 Jan.

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

3. If you want to be on the invitation list for NEXT year's Exchange and did NOT participate this year (if you did, you will automatically receive an emailed invitation), please send an email to goodomens dot exchange @ gmail dot com. Or you can subscribe to our blog either here or on tumblr to keep up with announcements.

4. Next year's Exchange should be after the release of Amazon Prime's Good Omens Season 2. After the release of Season 1, we experienced a huge influx of participants and don't want to leave anyone out! But we will cap the participant count at 100.

Mod note: A fortuitous circumstance led to 2 lovely gifts being produced for our lucky last recipient of the Exchange! This is Gift #2.

Mudlarking For Fun and Profit
recipient: comicgeekery
pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
rating: G/T
Warnings: None
Summary: Comicgeekery requested “a story where Crowley takes up a new hobby (not plant, driving, sex, or Aziraphale-related). I want to see him getting excited about something new! Aziraphale does his best to understand Crowley's enthusiasm.” I really enjoyed Lara Maiklem’s book Mudlark: In Search of London’s Past Along the River Thames so I wrote about Crowley learning to appreciate the tiny detritus of a past he blew through at the time.

Title: Hot Enough
Fandom: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett (Novel)
Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley
Rating: A very mild T
Summary: In the 1930s, an exiled demon summons Aziraphale to the hazy heat of Australia. Of course, only a terrible emergency would lead Crowley to telegram demanding an angel travel halfway around the world.

To answer the question: How Aziraphale came to hate Australia.  
CW: gratuitous mentions of cricket
Mod Note: click on the (2) image thumbnails for the full resolution!

This is a gift for MovesLikeBucky. I had a lot of fun writing it. Hope you enjoy it ;).
Title: The 'Scales' Pattern
Summary: Sometimes Crowley is not very happy with his body. Perhaps one day Aziraphale can make him see what he sees.
Rating: NC-17
Author Note: This fic contains NSFW scenes. It is a Clone fic with queer characters and uncanny bodyparts. I wrote it with a lot of love for our characters and the prompts themselves.

Seeing in a New Light
Rating: T
Pairing: Aziraphale and Crowley

Several months after the Apocalypse, Aziraphale and Crowley are much as they ever were. Too insecure, too defensive, too much on guard to let their relationship move forward. Until Crowley takes Aziraphale on a surprise stargazing trip, and they both have a chance to see the other in a new light…

Title: In the Dreams of Angels
Recipient: Lilith
Rating: PG
