The Corsair of Carcosa
For: [livejournal.com profile] hoshi_ryo
From: [livejournal.com profile] vulgarweed
Rating: PG
Characters: Crowley, Aziraphale, Hastur, The Them, Randolph Carter, Dream, Cassilda the Cat
Fandoms: Good Omens/The King in Yellow/The Cthulhu Mythos/Sandman

Summary: Forbidden literature is forbidden because stories can change the world. For good and for ill.
Prompt: “Aziraphale gets his hands on a rare copy of the play The King in Yellow. Reading and its consequences ensue.”

Author's Notes: “The King in Yellow” doesn't really exist – it's a sinister play that's alluded to and plays a role in the events of four Robert W. Chambers short stories: The Repairer of Reputations, The Yellow Sign, The Mask, and In the Court of the Dragon. H.P. Lovecraft was an admirer of Chambers who alluded to these stories in his own, and the KIY cycle has been adopted pretty thoroughly into the Cthulhu Mythos (by August Derleth more than HPL himself). So I incorporated a lot of elements from Lovecraft stories, particularly “The Cats of Ulthar” and “The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath,” to the point where it wound up being pretty much a crossover. Sandman, also – all things that take place in the Dreaming come under the rule of Morpheus. (There are also allusions to a couple other Neil Gaiman works, and shoutouts to several other writers as well.) I hope it all holds up as a story despite this patchwork, and I especially hope you enjoy it, [livejournal.com profile] hoshi_ryo!

Author: [livejournal.com profile] hoshi_ryo
Pairing: Open to interpretation.
Rating: PG-13.
Summary: A snake enjoys a stay on a sunny rock near a duck pond, somewhere within the Dreaming. Set during Crowley's long nap.
Warnings: Contains authentic duck behavior and dream logic (what with this being the Dreaming).
Author's Notes: The free time I was expecting to have this month vanished suddenly, along with a decent chunk of time I was expecting to get to have for this thing called 'sleep.' I had hoped to do something fancier, but…well, hopefully this works?

Note: So I decided to sorta mash two of the prompt together into something... open to interpretation? Anyway, these prompts really inspired me. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: Wish Fulfillment
Recipient: [livejournal.com profile] iambickilometer
Characters: Crowley, Aziraphale, and some guest stars.
Notes: Something exploring Crowley’s tragic history and the jittery mess that he is, tears as well as laughter, some Sandman universe, and a plot. I hope your holiday is a happy one. I have also included some quick and rough (read: 5 seconds) sketches (quick because I’ve got commissions and work and actual articles and this year’s real life is so busy you wouldn’t believe me if I told you).
