I done a fic!

[elisi]

I finally posted Chapter 1 of my new crossover fic!

I might post it to DW/LJ later (might, however it's unlikely), but for now you can find it on AO3:

What If God Was One of Us?


Summary:

What if… the Thirteenth Doctor was the God of Good Omens?

(waits)

I mean. How could I not write it?

Also there are not enough fics that take God’s POV and motivations into account. Especially when God is daft as a brush.

I think Neil Gaiman would really enjoy that idea. Actually, I'm convinced he would enjoy it tremendously.

Thank you, that's high praise indeed. :)

(I am having a lot of fun with it, and doing my best to stay true to the tone/style of the book/tv show, which has given me a lot of admiration for the writing, it's very very difficult to be that funny.)

Oh, I love it!

I ADORE the portrayal of Aziraphale joyfully, blissfully, ecstatically in love. I ADORE the portrayal of their courtship, not jumping into bed immediately but moving towards each other in a slow dance:

And so they moved in ever decreasing circles: holding hands; lingering touches and lingering looks; what could only be described as cuddling, curled up together late at night on the sofa in the backroom.

LOVE.


(I'm a bit irritated at Thirteen for interrupting.) (And I'm a bit worried that Aziraphale will have to play peacemaker between Crowley and Thirteen...though actually, that might make a lot of sense...)

I can't wait to read the next chapter!

He deserves all the good things - and I very much drew on every fic cliché I could think of. I wanted them to be blissful and happy and just in love.

I ADORE the portrayal of their courtship, not jumping into bed immediately but moving towards each other in a slow dance:
I also deliberately made them both aware of the dance, and to be in step with each other. There's plenty to be said for slow-burn, or for them to be unsure of the other's feelings, but in this scenario that would have been counter-productive. So I chose a careful progression, taking everything one step at a time, but sure of each other and where they stand.

LOVE.

100% the reaction you should be having.

(And I'm a bit worried that Aziraphale will have to play peacemaker between Crowley and Thirteen...though actually, that might make a lot of sense...)
There will be some peacemaking, yes, but possibly not the way you imagine.

I can't wait to read the next chapter!
It's all done, but am going to pace myself since the rest of the fic is not that ready. :)

I expect that I'd get more out of the fic if I were better versed in Dr Who. I will say, however, if there have to be an Armageddon, I want it to be a damp squib.

Your God is darling.

Now I have that song What If God Was One of Us? in my head.

Well the Armageddon in question is from Good Omens, but the same principle applies. ;)

Your God is darling.
The Thirteenth Doctor is too adorable for words. Silly video showcasing her. <3

Gooooood. I love that song. (Joan Osborne's Relish was one of the first albums I ever bought, and I still love it.)

Such a fantastic fic!!

[elisi]

Thank you! I hope you'll like where it goes...

[sea_thoughts]

Thirteen being God in Good Omens would explain a lot. Like A LOT. Especially all that free will.

Doesn't it just? It was a fun, silly comment by maia, but then the more I thought about it...
