Summary
Aziraphale likes to make himself forget the details of his favourite books so he can re-read them like it's the first time. Crowley wants to learn to suppress memories, too. He wants Aziraphale's help. But there's a risk here, something dangerous. Aziraphale finds clues that they've done this before, and in some way or another, Crowley was hurt badly. Perhaps he was, too.
Pre-apoc. Mix of Book Omens and TV Omens. Set in the 90s. Angst and trauma. Amnesia aspects. Hell is horrible. So much angst. Hard-won happy (but slightly ambiguous) ending.
(Story is complete, approx 49,000 words.)

Summary
The Ian Leslie book infuriated me so much I thought I’d dig out this rant I wrote for a magazine in 2022 about why the Beatles are a lesbian friendship group and can only be understood as such, and why men don’t ever get them.

Summary
For the kinkmeme prompt:
Paul hears on the grapevine (or directly from John) that John has a new love called David. Obviously he’s not going to give John the satisfaction of asking about him, but all he hears is how complete John’s life is with David in it, and how John only wants to share his bed with David from now on. Turns out David is a cat, but Paul doesn’t know that.
