So the Good Omens TV adaptation is a thing that happened to me, and like an irritated oyster I'm producing a fic. Probably more than one fic. Possibly, lots of fic. So have a Sunday-ish Six:

‘Not just weeds,’ Aziraphale answers; he counts the number of breaths it takes to send the seeds on their way. The setting sun catches their edges, and they light like tiny sparks. Aziraphale’s eyes light, too. ‘Six o’clock,’ he says; happily.

‘It’s eight-fucking-forty-five,’ growls Crowley. From behind the dark glasses he can’t help watching until the seeds vanish from sight.

Yesterday in new lows, Pumpkin--our dearly beloved, well-looked after, meticulously cared-for, much-snuggled, entirely well-fed cat who likes to drink the scungiest water he can find, preferably off the roller door roof--licked milk off the kitchen sink draining board and then proceeded to root through the scraps in the sink strainer to select his preferred morsels of revolting garbage to consume

You'd think he was the starvingest street cat ever to barely cling to life save by the grace of whatever he could scrounge from drains and dustbins

He remains my most adored garbage pail in feline form

*pterodactyl screeching*

Me, making a rainbow collage poster for small children to stick colourful fruits and vegies to: This is very on-brand

Me: Did I miss Tainted Love?

Mr Jupin-Lude: Yes, and we can't go back

Me: *sadface*

Mr J-L: Just kidding, of course we can go back

Me: You mean time travel is possible after all? I can't believe you've hidden that from me all these years

Mr J-L: Oh, I haven't hidden it from you yet; I'll do that later

Sometimes you just gotta read fic that is earnestly written but so! damn!! extra!!! that you can't help grinning with glee despite the attempted pathos of the plot
