44!

44 is Careful What You Ask For, a comment_fic fic for the prompt Good Omens/Sherlock BBC, Sherlock & Crowley/+Aziraphale, “We were wondering if you could help us find the Antichrist.”

1) I like this little thing. It's exactly what I intended it to be, which so rarely happens!

2) I like that Crowley admires Sherlock, because he would. And it makes me think about all the odd couples in (British) literature, and in many ways Aziraphale and Crowley are similiar to John and Sherlock - John and Aziraphale both with moral principles but not always following the rules when following the rules and doing what's right isn't the same thing, and both of them unassuming in appearence but with power. And Sherlock and Crowley being mean to people, but utlimately doing good. And, yep, thinky thoughts :)

3) I still like the last line. It makes me smile a lot.

bonus 4) Good Omens is a book by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, two of my favourite authors, about an Angel who owns a bookshop with old bibles that he never sells, a Demon who didn't faill so much as saunter vaguely downwards, the Antichrist who is a small boy growing up with three friends in an English village and everyone has an agenda for him but he just wants to be a kid, the four riders of the apocalypse, a witchfinder and his apprentice, and a lady with a book of prophecies. It's early days writing for both authors, but you can still see their spark and it's great fun. The BBC recently did a radio play of it with a cast including some big names. And Good Omens also crops up again in a fic of mine - The Child Takers - as a book left abandoned on a train with the blurb 'heaven to read and you'll laugh like hell', because that's what's on the cover of my version.

Oh that sounds like a really interesting crossover!

It was a fun little drabble to play with :)

(I used to be able to write short things lol)
