SUBJECT: Final Blueprints and Design Portfolio for Review

Dear Mr. s Crowley and Fell,

We have just completed the final design draft for the renovation of your Soho Townhouse. Attached you will find the architectural rendering based on the blueprints, and we have just received approval to proceed with construction from the relevant permitting agencies.
Also attached is my portfolio detailing the interior design schemes for each room. We can discuss more at the consultation meeting on Tuesday.

Sincerely,
H. Verlock
Verlock Consulting

p.s. Mr. Crowley- I apologize if I misinterpreted your latest request as a joke. I’ve also attached my contact who consults on construction of secure military facilities, he can hopefully help you figure out how to install a “elevator with a trap door into a boiling pit of tar for unwanted visitors”.

—-

These two are your rich chaotic gay uncles who of course are renovating an upscale townhouse in the most extra way possible. Have you seen The Birdcage? I bet Crowley has. 

This started out as a desire to write fan fiction of how these two were eldritch horrors pretending to be humans who terrorized their interior decorator / relationship therapist through a renovation after Crowley bought the townhouse and erotic literature store next to the bookshop. Total rom-com style. Since I can’t quite make that story *go* I am sharing the art I made to go with it! Yay 30 years of GO!

I love the fan fiction of the cottage or the flat above the bookshop. However, one of the fun, strange moments of relationships is moving together into a new space together and making it belong to both of you. You can make a lot of hay about how different these goofs are, but I think they’re both posh British bastards at heart that enjoy fine, expensive human things. Plus have enough shared history to make a home out of that without one sacrificing everything they like to live with the other. I can’t stop imagining Aziraphale become a feral hedonist for high end, comfy furniture once the Heaven limiters are off. 

Also, the building is this one on the left, with the orange storefront:

Incognito Good Omens Crowley pumpkins! Just our secret~

The snake one coils all the way around the pumpkin! It took four hours! *holds up withered hands*

Saw some lovely post about the dorks carving pumpkins for each other and ended up with a huge snakey pumpkin and the constellations. 🎃⭐️🐍

I get over 500 trick-or-treaters on my block, curious if any other nerds will reveal themselves!

@forineffablereasons thanks for the inspiration! I seriously almost made a 12-pumpkin demon snake.

Headcanon that courting for immortal beings takes a few million years and that Aziraphale isn't exaggerating when he says Crowley goes too fast

Like Angels who bonded during the creation of the universe? Most have been flirting since the big bang. They're thinking of moving on to 'casually dating' by the time the sun is created. They haven't kissed yet by the time the humans are an afterthought in God's head

Crowley being DTF after 6000 years is the equivalent of proposing on the 3rd date for poor horrified Aziraphale

[whispsofwind]

So basically you're telling that somewhere in Heaven, Gabriel is giving sex ed to a classroom of very impressionable young Angels, armed with an ugly PowerPoint and Disapproval TM.

"Because, remember, if you move together before the 10 millennia mark, without even mingling essences, you are living in sin and Jesus will cry"

"Sir I saw Jesus last week and he said it was fine-"

"Living in sin like the traitors, shame on you"

Holy hell y’all. Did NOT expect anyone else to get down on my obsessive fictional interior design itch, I didn’t even add the Ao3 link. You all are absolute dears. ❤️

Customer: Good morning. I’d like to buy a book please.

Aziraphale, surrounded by books: Uh, well, I’m afraid we don’t have any.

[theofficialpeanutgallery]

He needs to start up a library

[incorrect-good-omens]

There have been suggestions of that before. And in this circumstance I think I quite agree with the author.

[ineffable-sphinx]

god he just. hates people. bless.

[jabberwockypie]

I’m not sure if he even hates people so much as he doesn’t want to interact with them unless it’s on his terms, or let them touch his books Ever.

[incorrect-good-omens]

Aziraphale definitely doesn’t “hate people.” He’s just an introvert (meaning he’d rather like them from a distance, or in short bursts), and he’d also just rather not have people touching his things.

[cranky-aster]

@incorrect-good-omens @neil-gaiman

It seems there is such a generational divide on understanding this topic. There’s some of us that remember a pre-amazon world, where there were often used bookstore owners that were just erratic introverted bibliophiles that closed their dusty unorganized shops when they felt like it. Where they could make just enough money selling a handful of rare books now and then to pay the bills.

I say this with all love in my heart. These places were like dragon hoards with a grumpy dragon growling at you over your choice in sci-fi and only taking cash. As a teenager this was the only job I wanted when I grew up. I loved books, I was introvert, I liked hoarding lovely things like a magpie. I wanted to open a bookshop and have an excuse to read the day away. The internet killed this business model, the recession polished off most of the rest. Only the really beloved ones who had made an effort to be welcoming and attractive scraped through. I remember being in Seattle in 2009 watching shop after shop close up in the University District and Capital Hill.

It’s so easy to imagine Aziraphale going into a few of these old kinds of used bookstores and, with all the confusion of a celestial being trying to understand humanity, believing this is what a bookshop IS. And really thinking it was excellent. “You get to just open your doors and people bring you books?! You don’t even have to be nice to people? You get to hang out all day reading surrounded by books? This is a job?! Perfect! I want to be one!”

Reading good omens in the 90’s I remember laughing so hard I was crying over the loving snark the writers were shooting at those stores, where we had all spent way too much time as young people digging for treasures and petting tortoiseshell bookshop cats in musty back rooms. Which, by the way, was always worth it. Reading it now is more nostalgia than reality I think. So I see the confusion, for a reader living in this post-amazon world where a bookshop usually has to really promote themselves to stay afloat.

The entire story had me so trusting, @summerofspock didn’t just lay a foundation, they built a whole damn house, and I was living it all safe and warm. Then they set it on fire

[summerofspock]

I just distracted yall with horny descriptions of mechanic hands while seeding traumatic hints slowly but surely in the background 😈

[cranky-aster]

Frankly at this point I’m ready to sit back and marvel at how you’re going to manage to pull up and end super happy within three chapters. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

A series of vignettes regarding the misadventures and shenanigans of two men-shaped celestial beings moving in together after the apocalypse. Featuring a terrorized interior decorator, erotic literature of various pedigrees, a platoon of nosy neighbors, and an egregious amount of linen.
