Line 19:
* ''Notes'': Most of Daegaer's works focus on Aziraphale and Crowley, and she gets their relationship down pat with the right doses of character quirkiness, snarkiness, and sweetness. She's also frighteningly talented at pulling off even the most [http://daegaer.livejournal.com/33102.html crack-headed] [http://daegaer.livejournal.com/47289.html ideas]. (For those of you who don't like slash, rest assured that ''Going Home'' and nearly all of Daegaer's other works don't make Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship any more suggestive than their canon one was, [[Ho Yay|unless you really want to make an effort.]])
[https://web.archive.org/web/20131210232137/http://archive.bent-halo.net/browse.php?type=categories&catid=4 H.J. Bender's GO fanfics]
* Recommended by Solandra
* ''Pairing(s)'': Aziraphale/Crowley (sometimes gen, sometimes slash)
* ''Notes'': Saying these are funny is like saying that the original book has a slightly lighter approach to the Apocalypse. Even the shamelessly smutty fics are far more hilarious than [[Porn Without Plot]] have any right to be. As a bonus, Quantum Witch has [http://community.livejournal.com/halos_horns/ illustrated some of Bender's fics] for even more comedic goodness. (Be forewarned that while humor is the main staple of Bender's works, even the technically gen ones are packed with [[Ho Yay]] that ''barely'' stops short of actual slash.)

Line 53:
* ''Comments'': Has an entertainingly original plot guaranteed to leave you grinning.

* Recommended by Echo Garrote
* ''Summary'': A capture, a ritual, and a small mistake in terms lets Sam and Dean become 'sacrifices' to another demon with yellow eyes. Things don't exactly end how you might expect them to.
Line 80:
* ''Comments'': I've already recommended Daegaer's fics in the Authors and Websites section, but this fic of hers deserves special mention as a work that pulls off the common "Aziraphale and/or Crowley are recalled by their superiors" plot brilliantly without descending into melodrama. In fact, you won't find any angst here, just light-hearted, humorous drama that's surprisingly poignant in showing just how much Aziraphale and Crowley mean to each other.

* Recommended by Solandra
* ''Pairing(s)'': Newt/Anathema, Crowley/Aziraphale, Brian/Pepper, Adam/OC, and some other relationships between OCs
Line 208:
* ''Comments'': Proof that a fanfic doesn't have to be of epic length to be funny, romantic, and thoughtful at the same time. Done with excellent footnotes, a precise blend of the silly and the serious, and Aziraphale/Crowley interaction that's just understated enough to work.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190927185651/http://ww1.library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=262 Traditions]'' by UseTheForceEm (Slash)

''[https://web.archive.org/web/20061014153440/http://library.good-omens.com/viewstory.php?sid=39 The Casefiles of Dr. Darryl Birkett: Counsellor to the Immortal]'' by Dreya Uberwald
* Recommended by feral
* ''Pairing(s)'': [[Pair the Spares|Hastur/Ligur, Aziraphale/Crowley, Famine/Pollution, Shadwell/Madame Tracy, Adam/Pepper, and Brian/Wensleydale]]
Line 268:
* ''Comments'': Yes the plot comes from the James Cameron movie, but this fic manages to capture all of the magnificence and drama of the movie while maintaining an original plot thread, and portrays Crowley and Aziraphale wonderfully in their roles as star-crossed lovers without descending into melodrama or wangst. Just a warning, you're going to need tissues by the last few chapters, particularly if the movie hit you pretty hard to begin with!
