31. Just our hands clasped so tight (M) (1/1) by @mekachu04
Just the love in this fic. So much love. It’s beautiful and sweet and sexy and I will not stop shouting about it. Plus such sensual art by @wargoddess9
At the end of June, it was revealed that, yes: Good Omens 2 will be a thing
And cue the outpouring of umbrellas! I immediately was hit by inspiration and already had a tartan pattern drawn up, that until now, really hadn't found a project to use it on
4 inch hoop, size 32 canvas. Fabric dyed by me.
9 days of stitching.
I have the tartan pattern available on stitchfiddle- link in the source

Happy (belated) Anniversary to Good Omens. 31 years to the fandom, 2 years since the tv show that made us fall in love all over again
the feminine urge to stab <3
Future cross-stitch idea.....
Realised we don't have an all inclusive "be gay do crime" or "be trans throw hands" so I suggest "be queer strike fear"
An AO3-CSS block walkthrough
Note, i actually dont know css. I've just learned this from assorted other tumblriets
Log in to Ao3
Go to your dashboard
And then open the skins page
Here, create your first site skin
Once you have created it, you will go to where it says edit below instead to update it as needed.
At the very least, you will have to name it, then go to the CSS section.
There is lots you can do here, but the two things I'm talking about is preventing specific stories (work) or authors(user) from being displayed to you.
You can add as many as you like, breaking them up with a comma, and ending with the {bracketed info}
.work-12345,
.user-12345 {
display: none !important;
}
Now to show you where to get the numbers to replace the 12345
First, work/stories. Open the piece you want to remove from your future browsing, and go to the url. It will be the first set of numbers. If you view stories chapter by chaper, there will be two sets of numbers so be sure you're capturing the right ones.
Authors/user are not found in the url, but instead on their profile pages
Once you are done, just submit.
If you are already using someone else's pre-created site skin, you can add it to your new skin! Even combine them if you like! Under the css section, there is an advanced option. Open it up and you can add existing public skins here
Another very specific rec list of fics keeping Tawny sane while work sucked.
Yes, yes, I am writing this when I should actually be working. Thank you all for my self-care routine and giving me some serotonin these last couple of months.
New Horizons, Old Troubles @unproblematicme Pirates and omegaverse! Sexy and swashbuckling. That’s all you need to know. And Newt is the hero we all deserve.
Over the Sea @redundant-angel Angsty and sweet South Downs Cottage fic. I love a fic where they still have to work through things for their HEA and this is handled beautifully. Plus the weather and scenery is so atmospheric.
Blow out all the candles @teslatherat I love a historical au and the detail in this is lovely and engaging. It’s so sweet and hopeful. Victorian Rent Boy Crowley falls in love with a client….
The Rite of Falling @contraststudies and @teslatherat Beautifully written. Beautiful art work. And I love the characterisation, and the way the pacing builds the pressure. A wonderful priests au. I’m biting my nails over my this and swooning by turns.
Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark by @mekachu04 with art by @wargoddess9 I just found this! set in cannon and the premise is amazing, and it is so sweet and sexy and lovely. I want to eat it with a spoon.
In our own strength confide by hapax. A second fic I love that addresses how they both deal with their trauma and their freedom. Beautifully insightful character study of both of them. Also angry Aziraphale is very good.
The Fabric of your Hair @saretton Sooooftttt. I love it. So tactile. And just, gah, the yearning, the yearning. Hairdresser Crowley and Tailor Aziraphale stealing touches where they can. Read it and bring a fainting couch.
Divine restorations and repairs @sylwritesstuff and skimmingthesurface Just started this, and think I’m possibly the last person on the planet to get to it, however the characterisation is fantastic. The detail that has gone into the world building is so immersive. I can’t even…..Beautiful, beautiful….
Sanctuary by @leilakalomi This is an exquisitely crafted Hunchback of Notre Dame au, and powerful and I am still in awe of how Crowley is portrayed so well in Aziraphale’s pov. It’s wonderfully done.
And safe for aye, may my darling be @naromoreau and @gayforgoodomens Celts vs Romans, except the two who fall in love, obviously. This fic will kill us all. You have been warned.
Designed these cuties on HeroForge
I've included the links to each figure below.
I love hurt/comfort and wish to know your rev list for those.
Oh goodness, well that’s going to be quite a few. I’m assuming you’re referring to Good Omens fics? So that’s what this list will be~ The other fics I posted in the last ask are ALSO hurt/comfort fics, so I won’t include them on this list, but they are very much worth a read. Also there’s... a lot, so I wont be putting summaries
HotCrossPigeon has a little series going, they aren’t connected so you can start with any of them which is nice. Unfortunately several of them are incomplete, but they’re still absolutely worth the read
Don’t Take It Away From Me (words: 7,112 / status: complete)
Honey, You’ll Survive (words: 12,749 / status: complete)
Won’t You Come Back to Me (words: 29,285 / status: incomplete)
So Still I Wait (words: 13,502 / status: complete)
Gives Me Hot Cold Fever (words: 10,458 / status: incomplete)
You Never Had a Heart (words: 12,983 / status: complete)
Take Me Home Tonight (words: 6,663 / status: incomplete)
Zeckarin also has a series. As far as I can tell, they don’t focus solely on hurt/comfort? But they have a couple fics that I really enjoy, and where it does seem you have to have read prior parts in the series, I was able to catch on to backstory pretty easily with context clues in just the parts I’ve read.
From Hell, With Love (words: 25,844 / status: complete)
Don’t Play with Hellfire (words: 7,560 / status: complete)
charliebrown1234 is on this list again further down, but they also have a series, and like the first one, you don’t really have to read them in order to understand them, but with this one I can’t see why someone wouldn’t just read them in order. They are all complete
Aziraphale vs The Hellhound (words: 4,935)
Aziraphale and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (words: 4,334)
Aziraphale vs The Great War (words: 2,500)
Aziraphale and the Desperate Priest (words: 4,523)
Aziraphale vs The Great Fire of London (words: 5,053)
Aziraphale vs Pestilence (words: 7,666)
And then Here are all the individual ones:
Hell Above by I_Fear_I_Fell (words: 8,405 / status: incomplete)
Stuck On The Puzzle by venomly (words: 44,578 / status: incomplete / human AU)
I Threw Stones At The Stars But The Whole Sky Fell by Turcote (words: 9,693 / status: complete)
Remains by indigo (indigo_angels) (words: 95,330 / status: complete)
Whenever this world is cruel to me by Mekachu04 (words: 5,112 / status: complete)
Hell Freezes Over by charliebrown1234 (words: 17,789 / status: complete)
Lot Thirty Seven - The Vault by AceOfShadows (words: 15,347 / status: complete)
Broken Hallelujah by laylabinx (words: 22,050 / status: complete)
It Was a Dark Night (But Hadn’t Stormed Since Last Tuesday) by 29Pieces (words: 10,933 / status: complete)
Something Wicked by Turcote (words: 19,781 / status: complete)
For Better or Worse by Angelina_Aintithenniel (words: 11,536 / status: complete)
The Arrangement by LadyWallace (words: 8,287 / status: complete)
like a live coal tossed in the sea by blue_spectacles (words: 63,495 / status: incomplete / C and Az don’t know each other AU / crossover but heavily focused on Good Omens)
This isn’t all the fics I’ve accumulated, but I figure it’s more than enough of a good start!

Happy Holidays
Winter is upon us (if you live in the northern hemisphere) and the shortening days demand we spend as many daylight hours as we have in celebration.
I’m going to be sending out snail mail cards for the winter season; if you would like one, please send me a message or ask telling me the address is going to. If you want a specific holiday, let me know too. This is open to anyone who wants one, no need to follow me back or send one in return if you don’t want to
Turns out my last brick and mortar supplier no longer carries one of the essential pieces that I need for books; didn't find this out until about a week after i ran out and finally was able to get to the store. So .. purchased it online. Long story short, i hate fedex and over two weeks later (almost a month since I ran out) I finally have that missing piece. So... ALL of these got spine work today and I'm looking at this thinking.... I'm actually going to run out of books to work on by the end of the week!!! It feels good because my bookshelf is rocking right now, and it was so much fun, and massive love to the authors who gave me the green light; I hope they all love their pieces! <3 I've changed the way I've done quite a few things from this summer, and it was great to just get a chance to get back into book making. I hadn't realized how much I missed it. And... I *really* suck at leaving feedback, and it seemed the best way to show these novelists just how much their work meant to me. After this set, I'll probably take a book break and get caught up on some cross-stitch, but 2021? I've got a few stories ive got my eye on. =D https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJ5VZXlg2t/?igshid=1d8aoaj87nqod
Got my first tattoo today. @neil-gaiman : this series has meant so very much to me, not just the tv version, but the radio drama and the book that started it all.
Gave the artist Chance the basic idea and he did an amazing job, not just with the tattoo design but with the whole experience. I have high anxiety with new things already, and he and the staff of Aloha Salt Lake were amazing.

Vagabond - 😴 on Twitter: "Y'all, @Mekachu04 printed and hand bound a copy of Out of the Darkness for me and I couldn't be more in love. They even featured @Valerie_Sparkle's art! #GoodOmens #ineffablehusbands https://t.co/o9gOvLuDqb" / Twitter
Dark brown is getting its first spine glued. The next up, bottom in the white boards, has had its spine molded and is being pressed into shape. Going up after that you can see the next sets mostly prepped, just looking for the right end pages =^.^= #bookmaking #bookbinding (at WIP) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF53KbFl-Rt/?igshid=1dphp3u20x9ls
Trying something new for end pages. #bookmaking #bookbinding https://www.instagram.com/p/CF5UinvFcAK/?igshid=1qswxx1y9cjap
Came across these beautiful papers and had to buy them. I'm not completely sure they will even work for what I have in mind, but oh..... if they do
6 books folded. They’ll go in the press next time I go upstairs #bookmaking #bookbinding https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTWfg4ll_F/?igshid=mnl8u9dvthvb
Front pages are printed, gonna let the pages cool and probably finishing print the back of the pages tomorrow.
Then its trouble shooting time because my color printer keeps messing up the margins so I got a dozen or so pages to print.
Then this weekend will be folding and searching for the perfect end pages. I'm running out of shops that I know locally and still haven't found the right patterns....
