Summary
It's Post-Revolution, and life is a lot more boring than anyone expected. It kind of sucks. Hank's doing better, whatever that means, Connor's trying not to turn Hank's house into a set for an HGTV house-flipping show (and failing), and they're both just trying to keep it together as well as they can. So Hank decides to buy Connor a plant before the cabinets get ripped out and painted, just until CyberLife's state-of-the-art deviant gets his job back.
Connor LOVES it. Plants are his thing now. Who needs people? Who needs feelings? Plants are the real superior beings. The trouble is, everyone seems to think that he needs to 'make friends' and 'stop wallowing in self-pity' and 'confront his emotions', which is absurd, and Hank is wrestling with the fact that he's kind of a dad again somehow. Someone help these sad men.
Featuring Android Jesus! Weird Plant Guy! And Copious Amounts of Plant Content!

Summary
Sure, now everyone wanted to hold hands, give out flowers, and pretend machines were real boys and girls or some shit. As if they weren’t hunting them through every city like rats just a month ago. People going nuts over their crusade one moment, stinking up the streets with the fires, and all of a sudden everything just fucking stops as though anything changed.
Nothing fucking changed.A machine was still a machine, no matter how fancy its program.

Summary
This is how the longer cases go. They wind him up like a music box, until one day there’s a click and everything falls open and Connor can sing and sing and sing. And thrill with the singing. And come home with empirical proof of his worth as a human being.
The year is 1890. Connor Stern has been shipped off to newly incorporated Prescott, Arizona, to track down a renowned and evasive raider gang on behalf of local mining interests. His partner in the case is the completely incalcitrant County Sheriff, who’s far more likely at any one time to be finding his way to a bottle than a bandit. His target? Feared outlaw Markus, a man who’s growing increasingly eager to introduce Connor to the business end of a six-shooter gun.
But Connor’s in luck, because as it becomes evident to all three men that the solutions to their problems are fortuitously linked, Markus must consider the possibility that his headhunter might just have more potential to him as an ally than a corpse.
You catch more flies with honey, after all...

Summary
Granny Rags attempts revenge for Corvo’s interference in the sewers - it doesn't quite go as planned. Corvo likes the fact that his name means ‘crow,’ but that doesn’t mean he ever actually wanted to be one, and for once Daud is (arguably) not responsible for this mess.

Summary
The mostly peaceful Android Rebellion of 2038 ended with tentative success, but now the androids must carve out a permanent place in a wary society. Markus, trying to hold on to that hard-won freedom, gets drawn into Hank and newly deviant Connor’s investigation into a string of complex thefts and murders. With far too many coincidences for comfort and old enemies resurfacing in the shadows, Markus has to figure out fast who he can trust. Letting North blow everything up is starting to sound like a better idea every day…
--
Mostly an excuse to write more Markus and Connor interactions, now featuring triple the angst, double the Tracis, allegedly naked confessions in a public restroom, and a furby.

Summary
“But if Connor can abstract love—make it a blueprint, viewed from above, not quite a part of himself—he can begin to decode it. To understand.”
(Contains: the dubious benefits of over-identifying with pop music, an ill-advised game of emotional chicken with Amanda, the world's worst lake trip, copious robot angst, and Hank trying very hard to be a good dad.)

Summary
It took Hank a split second to recognise his partner, with his stereotypical undercover ensemble. Even Sumo barked once or twice before realising he knew the snow-covered figure in the doorway.
Despite this, Hank mentally calculated the how much time it would take him to reach the revolver that was lying on the kitchen table. The android was pointing a gun at him after all.

Hank Anderson never expected to have anything pinned to his fridge again- not pictures or crayon drawings or homework assignments. But now, there's a list- an important one, a reminder.
It reads: STUFF CONNOR LIKES, and they need to figure out what to put on it.

Summary
- Connor is glad to be Deviant, he just wishes he could make sense of it.
Connor unofficially moves in with Hank Post-revolution, trying to work out how to just 'be' now Cyberlife is gone. Then the 'malfunction' starts, and he wakes from every bout of stasis with his Thirium pump pounding against his chest and cleaning fluid on his cheeks. His memories won't leave him alone.
But there's nothing to worry about. It's just a minor malfunction, an issue with his stasis cycle.
He can handle it.
He can."It…unsettled Connor, just a little - not just the absence of any direction, but also that he was bothered by it. He liked being there; he’d placed it at the top of his Good list – before even Sumo (and Connor didn’t do that lightly, had in fact spent several minutes switching the order around and back again)."

The Temptation of Azra Fell by Sinister_Queer for triedunture
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
08 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
At first glance, it appeared that Crowley — a demon who had been on Earth alone for six thousand years — had been sent to complete the most simple of temptations: that of a rather soft middle-aged priest named Azra Fell.
Some two hundred and fifty years ago, Agnus Nutter prophesied He is Not that Which He Says He Is.
It would seem, in an unsurprising twist of events, she was incredibly Correct.

Summary
“We…we are best friends, right?”
“Yes,” Crowley said slowly. His eyebrows were still raised. “I thought that was obvious.”
“And…and best friends care about each other. They love each other,” Aziraphale said.
“Yes.”
Aziraphale frowned. “But kissing is off-limits.”
“Angel, if you’re asking if you can kiss me –”
“Absolutely not,” Aziraphale said quickly. “It was merely a question that arose out of curiosity, it has nothing to do with us at all.”
That was, of course, a big fat lie.
Or in other words, a 5+1 style fic in which Aziraphale and Crowley are Very Bad at reading signals and communicating.

An Angel who did not so much Fall In Love as Settle Into It Gradually by TheLadyZephyr
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
01 Jul 2019
Tags
Summary
Crowley was standing in the middle of the room, hands in his pockets, looking a little lost. Aziraphale eyed the distance between them. Five steps. Five steps, and six thousand years, and a battlefield spanning an eternity.
The story of the little moments over the millennia that shape an angel’s regard for a demon, and the way he slowly, with great reluctance but inevitable surety, falls in love.
