If you cut me open, I bleed words.

Short story is due Tuesday. I meant to turn in Blood Is Sweeter, but the story I have wound up writing is set a few years earlier than Blood Is Sweeter (and a few years after other stuff I'm working on), and could possibly be soundtracked exclusively by Cobra Starship (in fact, I may title it The City Is At War).

Word count: 2236
Page count: 8/~15
Plot: Sam and Al have met and are flirting. Soon to come: a lunch not-really-a-date, a party that makes the papers, a parental freakout, a lunch really-is-a-date, angst and makeouts.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love you? Because seriously, a bandom Good Omens AU?

*Seriously*. There are insane amounts of fangirling going on here right now.

Technically, mcee had the idea first. She just made me write it.

Icon love!

Your brain is officially the best thing that ever existed.

*flails*

I have to admit, my favorite bit of casting has to be "Frank (An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards"

[sofiaviolet]

It wasn't my idea at first, but mcee turned it over to me. And she's the one who suggested Frank as Crowley.

HI I LOVE YOU A LITTLE

I still say Gabe is a better Shadwell. (Although. Maybe he could be the dude on the television show? The one where that chorus sings about Jesus being better than the phone company?) And what about Mr. Young and Mr. Tyler? And and and. Who would be the Four Other Horsepersons? (Andy is Pepper ahahahhahahaahhahaha. I mean. Did you mean Andy to be Pepper?)

OMG MIKEY AND ALICIA AS NEWT AND ANATHEMA THAT IS SO PERFECT.

Lordy, my copy of the book is falling apart. I don't think I've done a reread in about a year but I desperately need a new copy because this one is just about to be in pieces.

I'm not going to do an exact rewrite, because I couldn't figure out how to make that work. So even if the character assignments stay more or less the same, the plot will differ. Although, the other horsepersons, damn. I forgot about them. (Mr. Young and Mr. Tyler got bahleeted from the DP, and they may not be the only ones.)

Andy is indeed Pepper, and Mikeyway was too perfect for Newt, I just couldn't resist.

Heee. Zack and Dirty and Worm and....who's another big bodyguard-type dude? They could be the Four Other Horsemen. :-D

Sorry for randomly bursting in, but oh my god, a Good Omens bandom AU?

BEST IDEA EVER.

Also Panic! as the Horsemen is just genius! I can't wait to read this!

[sofiaviolet]

I will be crossposting widely when it's done, don't worry. ^-^ (Also, not originally my idea, but I took it and ran with it so it's my project now.)
