Fandom Our Flag Means Death (TV)

Summary
The story of bug nerd Ed and YouTuber Stede, told using ofmdmicrofic prompts (and a few crowdsourced ones). Sweet and sometimes spicy; some mild angst along the way, but nothing the boys can’t handle.

Summary
Haemotribune. It was such a fucking old-fashioned word. Rich people were obsessed with Latin, and with having a silly little name for everything. Lucius tended to refer to himself, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, as a caterer. A provider of food for the discerning vamp, a little sumptuous treat, the finest their abundant money could buy.
A vampire AU that loosely follows season one canon, with some significant divergences. The main pairings are Lucius/Izzy and Ed/Stede - certain chapters might focus more heavily on one or the other but their stories are intertwined and can't really be separated.
The setting is a world in which vampires exist and are known about. In this world, a well to do vampire might hire or otherwise obtain a human for non-lethal, occasional blood drinking purposes on an ongoing basis. Such a human would be known as a haemotribune (with thanks to @DarkDancer72 for suggesting the name).
Huge thanks to wonderful beta readers @tardigrape and @kate_rtot and to @Vee (Vera_DragonMuse) for plot help and encouragement.
This is the longest, plottiest fic I've ever written, and I really hope someone out there gets some enjoyment from reading it :)
Updates every week.

Summary
Ed picks Stede up at a bar for what ought to be a one-night stand, but it turns out they're attending the same academic conference the next day.
“Yes, please, a – Loose Cannon, did you say? Really, how charmingly nautical.” There. Words. Sub-optimal words, but words nonetheless. He grins, aiming it toward the stranger while taking him in in smaller doses. Leather boots, faded, artfully ripped black jeans, a purple cropped shirt under a silky, billowy black – kimono? Overshirt? Facial scruff. Lots of hair, salt and pepper, pepper only just winning out, for now. Tattooed knuckles, forearms, collarbone. Earring, silver stacking rings on most fingers, a nose stud that somehow softens the whole, well, lewk and – okay, he’s staring. He stares some more as the man reaches to accept his own drink, revealing more tattoos up the arm and an inch more of skin below the crop top. The stranger makes some obscure gesture to the bartender, then meets Stede’s eyes, which he worries might actually be protruding from his skull, like a cartoon. AwOOga.

Summary
Ed's minding his business when the new neighbor's kid comes around holding a human puppet. It's creepy as hell, but as soon as the kid's father rounds the corner, Ed doesn't mind.
ETA: Podfic available here from Kninjaknitter my darling dearest
“Hello,” says the strangest voice Ed’s ever heard, jolting him out of his reverie, sending his heart speeding into chaos.He opens his eyes and he’s staring straight at a stuffed animal in the shape of a human person. It is bald with a tiny hat and too-big eyes and it wears a blue shirt and a name tag that says Jeffy in the sort of scrawl normally reserved for words written in blood.
A puppet, he realizes several seconds beyond when it would have been appropriate to respond.

Summary
“I read the books about you,” Muriel said matter-of-factly.
Crowley wasn’t following. “The books about me?”
“The letter books to Aziraphale’s friend Diary? You must know them. They must be an angel, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them before.”
Crowley coughed heavily. “You’ve read Aziraphale’s diary?”

Desideratum by sevdrag (seventhe)

Summary
After two years, Aziraphale has, in fact, made concrete and effective (if still somewhat ineffable) changes to Heaven's operations. He's successfully educating his angelic coworkers about the joys and wonders that Earth and humanity have to offer! It's more than he could ever have imagined, and he thanks Her daily for the opportunity and blessings he has been granted. Everything is wonderful!
Except he hasn't spoken to Crowley in two years, and while Aziraphale knows he's being a top-notch Archangel, the timing of the Second Coming continues to loom between himself and his plans. Because he isn't only here to fix Heaven. Aziraphale's here to save Earth. (It's complicated.)
The Metatron isn't talking, the Archangels are uneasy, and the plans for the Second Coming continue to advance at a relentless pace. Oh, and Muriel's got a bicycle, and even she hasn't seen Crowley in over a month. Aziraphale's own doubts won't vanish, and it seems like there are very important things about Heaven that he's never been told before.
[An exploration of events post-Season Two, subtitled: Forgiveness.]

Summary
Aziraphale has read every book in his shop at least once. He has reread some of his favored volumes dozens of times, has memorized whole great swaths of them. If his own words are insufficient to convince Crowley of his sincerity, then perhaps the words of others can!
(He might have the decency to ask the books what they thought of this plan. The books had been watching the two of them for over a hundred years, and certainly had a great deal to say on the matter. But Aziraphale neglects to consult them, and thus will be very unprepared for what happens next.)
Back on earth, Aziraphale tries to apologize.

Angel-Centered Therapy Through A Multicultural Lens: An Integrative Approach by Nnm

Summary
“I’d love to meet with you,” Davey said, apologetically, when he had been called up by a fellow looking to initiate therapy, “but I’m all booked up for months.”
“Are you sure?” The fellow said, through a poor connection that crackled.
Davey had been sure. And yet. Right there in his calendar was a blank spot, just a few days away, which he had somehow completely overlooked before. “How about that…I’ve got Wednesday at eleven, if you can make that work.”
“What a miracle,” the fellow said, “that would be just the perfect time.”

Variations in Routine Procedures by Anonymous
Fandoms: Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett, Good Omens (TV)
20 Apr 2020

Summary
Dr. Fell is a professional gynecologist with a reputation for treating his patients with the utmost care and respect. He has never broken his oath to do no harm, never violated a patient's trust, never so much as felt a compulsion to touch where he shouldn't.
Perhaps that is why he finds it so difficult to resist when finally faced with temptation. When presented with the sight of his newest patient on her back, exquisitely exposed for him with her legs spread wide in his stirrups, he is struck speechless by the absolute perfection of her. Throughout his career, he has never seen anyone so beautifully formed. He has never encountered a body so clearly meant to be enjoyed.
He is, as ever, beholden to his duty of care, but, as never before, he starts to wonder whether there truly is harm in taking a bit more pleasure in his work than he otherwise might.
If he's conscientious, if he's careful enough, she'll never even know. When faced with one as sweet as this, he finds he cannot help but succumb to temptation.

Summary
Aziraphale makes one temptation too many under the Arrangement, and is condemned to be the property of Hell.
Crowley has millennia worth of soul credits unspent, enough to purchase an enslaved angel.
So that's all right, then. Quite a good thing, really. No one can object to them being together if Aziraphale is officially Crowley's property. Once Aziraphale gets used to the whole slave thing and remembers Crowley would never, ever harm him, he'll realise it's all for the best, that Crowley is his saviour and liberator. They can have the kind of happily ever after Crowley always dreamed about. It's a shame about Aziraphale's powers, but Aziraphale will understand eventually, especially when he realises how much Crowley loves him and always has.
It will be fine.

Summary
Being dumped unceremoniously close to his rut, Aziraphale frets. He wishes he could suppress it entirely, but it's too late for that. Spending it alone would be hell, so when his friend Anathema offers him a solution, Aziraphale is determined to try it.
Because it will be easier, of course. No strings attached whatsoever.

Summary
When Ed gets stuck behind the same slow driver for a long stretch of his road trip through the Pacific Northwest, that's one thing. When he finds himself at the same rest stop as the offending driver, it's quite another.
This Stede guy is a bit of a lunatic. But when Ed crosses paths with him again several days later, this time stranded on the side of the highway and in need of some assistance, Ed winds up on a slightly different road trip than the one he'd planned to take—with a man he absolutely doesn't plan to fall in love with.
Clearly, plans change.

Small town paper, small town news, and Aziraphale always gets stuck with the shit stories. Strange lights in the desert? Aziraphale might as well be writing about el Chupacabra. Again.
At least his source is cute, even if he is a little out there.

Summary
Ed and Stede's relationship grows stronger every day since the devastating month they spent apart in the spring. Now, they're heading into a wide-open summer full of love, family, and each other, eager to enjoy lazy days devoid of the school year's stress.
But not all wounds close quite so quickly. The most painful hurts take the longest to heal, and it isn't long before they realize that it will take more than sweet, loving words to mend the oldest, deepest cracks in their hearts.
And then there's the ring tucked away in Stede's dresser drawer. All he needs to do is find the words to ask Ed to stick around in a forever, promises-and-vows sort of way—and that shouldn't be so difficult, right?
