Good Omens Holiday Exchange

Title: REPEAL AND REPLACE


Summary: When one of the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse decides to retire early, the other three find it difficult to accept, and are a little miffed at having their fortnightly brunch-drinks-and-trivia-games disrupted by the weird newcomer.


Note: My Good Omens Exchange gift for kittyroxdive1. Omg, you had such awesome prompts! Hope you like what I’ve made of it!


Art notes: The background of the second picture is an overlay of several images: a map of the world showing climate change temps, a landfill with seagulls, and two symbols – biohazard & radioactive material.

Title: You're Angry When You're Beautiful
Recipient: bravinto
Rating: PG
Notes: PAIRING/PLOT BUNNY/RATING CHOICE ONE: Aziraphale, at some point in time, past, or preferrably, future, suddenly becomes the hot one because beauty standards shift. could be any rating, from gen to explicit, with or without pairing (if it's shippy, i'd prefer endgame Aziraphale/Crowley but anything can go before that!)

Okay, it's not EXACTLY what you asked for, but omg this plot bunny gave me rabies and I couldn't control what came out. I hope you enjoy it anyway!

Cover and article based on TATLER magazine, with a twist. Most background images are stock photos or were heavily edited from originals found while Googling. There is one street scene I personally took while in London in 2006, so at least I can legitimately claim copyright to that photo. "The Angel" was a real bookshop on Duck Lane in Soho... back in the 1600's. Notes for that are far too long to detail here, but you can Google that too ;)

The Corsair of Carcosa
For: hoshi_ryo
From: 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, hoshi_ryo!

Title: Memory Yields
Recipient: aviss
Author: interrobam
Characters: Adam, Pepper, Brian, Wensleydale
Rating: PG
Author's Note: I know this re-gifted story doesn't exactly fit your prompt, but its got supernatural problems, the Them, and angst, so I hope you'll still enjoy it! Happy Holidays!
Summary: The thing about being destined to bring about the apocalypse when you're eleven was that no one quite made plans for how you were supposed to go about the rest of your life.

Title: We Must Bear Witness
Author: hsavinien
Rating: PG
Wordcount: ~3k, counting footnotes
Warnings: Non-graphic discussion of death, injury, and war.
Disclaimer: Characters and settings are the creation of Messrs. Pratchett, Gaiman, and Tolkien. The mixing thereof is entirely my fault.
Author's Note: Title from Elie Wiesel. The full quote is, “For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.” Aziraphale and Crowley only play a small part in the events they witness in the War. Happy Christmas, Vulgarweed. I apologize, but there was more world-building and less romance than requested. This is a full fusion of Aziraphale and Crowley into Middle-Earth, I hope you like it. For other readers, I'm afraid this might be confusing if you haven't at least seen the films of The Lord of the Rings, but I hope you'll give it a chance.
Summary:There are two familiar faces on opposite sides of the War of the Ring and the Battle of the Pelennor Fields is approaching. They are dealing with this through the time-honored traditions of passive-aggression, worry, and damage control.

This year, there was a fair amount of reshuffling and pinch-hitting going on. This late-arriving story could have been redundant. But it isn't, it's just too good! So we'll give it to everyone!

Title: Time In a Teapot
Recipient: aeske
Artist/Author: quantum_witch
Rating: PG
Artist's Note: If not for vulgarweed, my muses would still be asleep as well.
Summary: The nineteenth century brought many great changes while Crowley hibernated. Aziraphale finds that one thing never changes: the demon's manners. (Or: "Let sleeping snakes lie, for their own safety.")
