This Keeps Happening ...

[b_c_draygon]

This week has quite possibly been the busiest of my life. :/ In a good way, though! I've been seeing friends, spending time with family, seeing family that I've not seen in/won't see again for ages, watching musicals, baking cake ... lots of good things! I'll make a post about this week at a later stage.

HoweverTonight is a Tuesday. Tuesday night

Way back in the day, I was listening to I'll See Your Heart And I'll Raise You Mine by Bell X1 and I suddenly needed Good Omens fic for that song like burning. I made a request, and deathscytheheck obliged. I love it to itty-bitty little pieces, and I think you'd enjoy it.

Her journal is locked, but what the hell, it's my gift-fic. So I'mma copy-paste it into comments for you. Just don't like, sell it to anyone, kay?

And feel better!

Part 1

[zolac_no_miko]

The modern school of poker players holds that the game itself was invented in America during the mid 1700’s. This is ridiculous. At least, Crowley and Aziraphale think so, since it was a damn good way to pass the time when all they had to do was watch a couple of naked people cavort around the Garden.
You really haven’t been frustrated, thought the Snake, until you’ve tried to explain the concept of bluffing to an Angel.
“But… that’s lying…” Aziraphale trailed off, his flaming sword crackling away where it leaned harmlessly against a nearby tree. He glanced over at it, though, just to reassure himself.
“Yes. It is,” groaned Crowley for what felt like the fiftieth time. “But it’s okay. It’s a game.”
“But,” the Angel said slowly, thinking about how Ineffable Morals applied to this, “what about the bets? You said we had to bet things.” He glanced back at his sword again. “We’re supposed to lie to take each other’s things? Some of us are supposed to be living by rules, you know. I believe that covers two of mine.”
“They’re not yours,”

Part 2

Crowley credits the invention of strip poker largely to the tandem invention of wood alcohol.
The pyramids were popping up here and there, and embalmers were falling over themselves left and right to give the dead better treatment than the living. When one discovers some toxic gunk that keeps his dead guy jucier than the competition’s, the Snake decides that trying to drink it is probably a terrible idea. So he does. Mostly because Aziraphale thinks it’ll be a terrible idea.
“’S not like I have any organs to pickle,” he slurs, waving the earthenware jug in the Angel’s face. “At least,” he frowns, prodding his stomach with a finger, “I don’t think I do.”
“That’s disgusting,” sniffs the Angel, tapping his carved lapis game piece idly on the board. Senet. Not actually poker, but close enough if you lay bets. Also, considerably more morbid.
“You’re just saying that because my side can hold our liquor better.”
And so, ten minutes later.
“This stuff is disgusting!” Aziraphale hiccupped happily, nearly knocking the demon around the head as

And Part 3

The discovery of sex is something of a revelation for both parties. Of course, it isn’t sex, as they aren’t human and endowed with human bits, as Crowley so aptly puts it. Aziraphale makes a face when he says that, every time, which Crowley quietly adores

Oh, wow - that sounds really good, actually! I do like a well-executed AU. :) I'll definitely check this out ASAP. (I've been out all day today, so ... not had chance to do much more than check emails, bits of twitter and replying to comments yet!)

Heehee, fic - right. Try... mmm, Merlin/Arthur yummyness:
http://minor-hue.livejournal.com/3056.html - disaster and hilarity, and Merlin and Arthur get together in the end.
http://glimmergirl.livejournal.com/1615459.html - smutty fluff :)
http://community.livejournal.com/jellyfig/3553.html - general happiness :D
Also, I take it you've heard about Merlin s3? The release date going 'round is September 11th :D Not long now!!

Thank you so much for the links! I'll definitely check them out ASAP. (Been out all day with the family, you know how it is ...)

"disaster and hilarity, and Merlin and Arthur get together in the end." -- this sounds like my kind of fic! ^^ (They all do, actually, but that one put a smile on my face before I even clicked the link.)

I've heard vague things? Like, I saw the party post thing on merlinxarthur ... I think I just presumed they were going to make a S3 and then didn't think about it. XD YAY, though! It's going to be soon, too! (Although, crap, I'm staying in a hotel on the 11th so I probs won't see it until the 12th. *flail* How will I cope?! *stops overreacting* :P) Seriously, though - brilliant news!

[hermitknut]

*giggles* I hope you enjoyed them.
The s3 date won't be confirmed until Saturday, but apparently some director/producer someone or other of Merlin poster September 11 on his twitter *shrug* :D
Hotels have TV's! I know this - two Doctor Who series finales :P - and of course the beeb is free :D Just take some printed-out fanfiction with you to survive on :P
Also, you know those promo-paragraphs the beeb do for tv shows? Where they're all like "This series, epic things happen but we're going to be deliberately vague about it in a specific sounding manner so that you think you're getting spoiled but actually you're not"? *sniggers* There's one up for Merlin s3 - here: http://www.shine.tv/#/Programmes/1688/
It is spoilery... um, but only for what I would presume is the series arc. And only the problem, not the solution or anything like that. *shrug* Your call :)
Did you have a nice time with your family?

I don't have anything to offer but I will cling to you if you like?

I just caught up now and bloody cried LOL. Jimmy always makes me cry, damn it. It's the ultimate sacrifice, doing that in place of your wife. Now I'm hoping (hopelessly, probably) that somehow Vincent gets over his radiation sickness lol.

It's a well crafted story though. Bravo BBC, yet again. \o/

[b_c_draygon]

Clinging is good. *takes you up on the offer*

Augh, it's horrible, isn't it?! I knew - I just knew (from the moment they suggested it, but in particular from the moment he locked himself in the moon pool room) that it was all going to go horribly, horribly wrong. D: I've clearly not seen enough things with James Nesbit; I need to rectify that. If Vincent gets over his radiation sickness (unlikely, but we can hope together!), I will cry with joy. :D

Oh, man, yes. The BBC churns out some great stories on a regular basis, and this is definitely one of the best this year. :)
